Issue list gameplay

The first thing that comes to mine is the inability to jump for the ball as a DB sometimes I feel like I don’t even I don’t even get an animation when I click swat or catch. Sometimes the swap button doesn’t register at aLL 

 the amount of contested catches is ridiculous. Now I’m somebody who wanted to see the receivers catch more balls more jump balls. If got a big tight end against a safety, I wanna win that but it’s when guys are getting hit at the exact same time as the ball is arriving and coming down with it or it’s double coverage and you’re pressing the SWAT animation you’re not getting an animation and they catch the ball and break three tackle in the air.

I think the game should reward user defenders if they are in the right place to make a play on the ball because it’s hard to do that. Everything doesn’t have to be a pick, but there should be a lot more PBUS if I’m a user and I’ve beaten the user on offense to the spot for the ball.

Run blocking logic is bad offensive lineman dont  climb to the next level like they will double but they won’t climb so I can never get past the line of scrimmage and you can say you can ID the Mike and everything but like if I’m running duo, I expect my my tackle or my guard to come off of the double team and get to the next level so I can at least get three or 4 yards right now. I’m getting one or two because the second level doesn’t get blocked.

This is a more nuance thing but the way you get diving animations doesn’t make sense. Sometimes I get a dive animation where I can actually go forward and sometimes they just fall straight to the ground. I’d love to see more flying diving animations if I’m flying downhill with the safety and I’m trying to beat the ball carrier to the edge I should have some momentum behind me when I dive.

slide protections still lock up your screen when you pull them up. I know you can do it with the analog stick, which is fine, but if I pull it up to see what the actual protection is and my screen locks up that defeats the purpose of having the pre-snap adjustment

Overall, I don’t hate the game. I know people are upset because it takes a lot more work to score this year which I’m a fan of. But you have to get the run blocked targeting corrected. You have to get the contested catches and the lack of animations you get as a defensive back when the ball is in the air. you can’t lock up the screen when people try to make a slide protections cause they’re so needed when you playing an elite defensive end or you know you’re getting zero blitzed.
