Lls! I forgot about that mess!

The new passing trajectories are pretty cool. I've made some nice touch throws that you simply couldn't make in the past. And no more super LB's jumping up over the middle making impossible INT's. Play-action and screens finally seem to work well too.

I havent figured out the passing trajectories yet, how do you do those? I'm still just hitting triangle or square and using pressure to throw it fast or a lob.

Yeah that's how you control it. They added a bunch of new trajectories and ball speeds.

Plus you can also lead throws using the left stick.

So the trajectories and ball speeds are more animation than anything new I can control? I know I can lead receivers and such with the left stick (but I never do). I've just noticed the better my QB the better results I have on passes. I played a full franchise season last year with Sexy Rexy as QB and I can already tell that RG3 is going to be better QB. Now if I can just become a better scrambler! I never even tryed last year with slow Rexy.

Kinda hard to explain but I think it also has to do with the type of throw you make. If you throw a screen, the ball is going to come out a certain way (low and fast) vs if you're throwing deep (higher arc) for example. Basically there are different pre-determined arcs for different types of passes. I'll post a video later that explains it pretty well.

The throw in Madden that has aways been difficult/frustrating for me to make is the one sort of deep down the middle but not too deep, like 20 yards or so, with a LB in zone coverage who can just jump up and swat it down. I would love to be able to lay one over his head and drop it into the receivers hands. Basically for the Redskins its that post pattern to say Fred Davis or Cooley or another guy coming off the line close to the OL. If I could somehow change the trajectory of that pass it would be great.

simmed a season, super realistic :P

griffin 3100 yard passing (26 td 13 int), 1500 rushing (8 td 11 fumbles)
14-2, lose to the saints in the NFC championship

carriker has 14 sacks and then gets labelled as a bust by madden. awesome.
