Jump to catch

Why the hell are my WRs having to jump to catch like over 50% of my passes. I have tall receivers (Moss, C. Tate, Hurry, Bennett TE) and they have to jump to catch the ball which leads to them getting hit and dropping the ball

I have the same exact problem and it’s made me play the game like 99% less. It’s a new problem. That and wide open catches being dropped when I click on or do anything at all.

I've had wide open receivers catch it in stride, take a few steps, then just drop it. It's been pretty annoying tbh.

it its ridiculous. hopefully there is a fix soon. at least i know its not just me making a mistake

What button are you pressing to catch?  If someone is close enough to hit your receiver while jumping or rac catching you need to possession catch

Yes, I do possession catches, but it doesn't even allow me to because I am getting tackled while jumping in the air for the catch

The dropped passes are probably the worst thing about this game to me. It's so frustrating.

Exactly. When I do a possession catch it is literally like they are playing volleyball. Instead of dropping it, they smack the ball away from themselves as if they are playing DB!

This is the worst. The art of catching as a whole has declined over the years. When watching a game you will see a lot of wrs jump/body catch instead of catching in stride.  Now I agree that the taller wrs should not be jumping unless it’s a highball. It’s really poor physics but you can work around by swerve catching or clicking on and attacked the ball with an aggressive or possession catch.
