Football: having a catch

If you're going to have a football catch with someone, you spend 80% of the time throwing it back and forth nice and casual.

Instead they spend 80% of their time
- twirling the football on one finger every single time (and you never see people do that in real life when they're just having a catch).
- shoving the ball back and forth between their hands a few times

FINALLY they decide to throw the ball to the other person.

A little common sense: just have them throw back and forth, throw/catch once every 3-4 seconds (real life seconds, not in-game seconds).

Not to mention they still act like dorks with no coordination even though fitness skills are 5 and 7 - hitting each other on the head or ducking.

Not to mention when you do the "difficult" catch, it's like trying to throw a 100 yard touchdown pass, but the person is 3 yards away from you. I tried it once, was surprised no one got hit on the head, and it looked like if it did hit you at that speed you'd end up in the hospital for a week.

It really mystifies me why these concepts are so hard to notice when developers are making the overall football feature.
