But if you're having trouble, as soon as the deep ball is thrown(or any throw, it's just more obvious on deep ball), switch to defender, start holding Y, and then just run to the ball. The animation for the interception is automatically triggered.
Yep, it stinks because it takes no skill. Before it used to be about timing and how good you were at positioning yourself and actually hitting Y at the right moment. Now with Ball Hawk it basically disabled the ability to do it on your own and makes it too easy.
