[Gameplay] no animation when trying to intercept ball on defense

I don't know if anyone else is dealing with this issue but for me every time I try to play ball or intercept the ball on defense there is no animation. Can you please look into this?

  • @reyjr561 in which mode do you face this issue? is it any online H2H mode or a Solo mode? do you press the button continuously or only briefly?

    When I am doing solo challenges mostly recently it has been happening a lot on solo battles. I tried pressing the button once until play ball is highlighted but sometimes I have to push it multiple times and it still doesn't work.

    @reyjr561 hm, maybe it is different than I experience it (and it is really buggy), but for me it only works if I keep pressing the button till the INT is made (if it works at all). This feature is called "ball hawk" and requires "keep pressing the button".

    Hope that helps. good luck!

    Even if I keep spamming the button defenders just stand there

    @reyjr561 hm, spamming the button does not work for me either. "keeping the button pressed" (I hope this is the correct wording, I'm not an English native-speaker. I mean pressing the button one time but for a longer duration; similar how you do a bullet pass) should do the trick. if that does not work, I'd guess that is really bugged for you.

    Got it. I will try that instead and see what happens. Thanks for the help.

    That honestly has not been working effectively since the title update.  I actually abandoned going for the pick weeks ago when I read in the grid iron notes somewhere that User Swat was king.  In previous titles of Madden, I was noticing DB's just becoming unresponsive.

    I am getting an issue where when I press Y to go for the ball while on def, the DB is not going for the ball but will just stand there.  It has happened more then once.  Anyone else getting this?

    @Rowejob @ImJOEPRO @reyjr561 since there are more reports about this issue, I've moved (and merged) the thread to the bug reports section.

    in order to identify the issue in more detail: on what platform are you playing? xbox, PS, PC? next gen (PS5, xbox x) or current gen?

    I hope it will be tackled and solved for you soon. good luck!
