My theory is while catching increases the range at which you can easily haul in a pass, it doesn't necessarily prevent drops, since you can get your hands on harder-to-catch passes.

If this is true, high catching alone would actually increase your drop count. Of course, combined with the secret formula of carrying, jumping, SAs and agility and QB pass quality, that can be avoided.

This is true.

I agree with this completely.

The WR on my team with the highest catching attribute, also has the most drops.

But on the other hand, also seems to be able to catch better than most, in traffic.

are you guys even reading the rest of this thread?

Or you were exploiting the Sim by having your speed incredibly low, and when bort fixed that your player was totally nerfed.

Please explain the benefit of low speed and how it was nerfed.

It was the primary reason CBs were giving such a cushion in the beginning of the season. If there was a large discrepancy between the CB's speed and the WR's speed, the CB would backpedal too fast, leaving a huge cushion.

So the WR would catch easy pass after easy pass. The passing changes after game 2 allowed fast CBs to cover slow WRs, thus eliminating the unintended cushion.

The passing changes also compare the ability of the WR to catch the ball vs the pass defense of the CB. So slow receivers who really jacked up catch/jmp/vision still get plenty of tosses their way and are very effective chain movers.

That said, they just don't the same number of targets they used to get and they have to be superb pass catches. *shrug*. sounds good to me.

Thanks for the posting OP, knudlen, et al. I was wondering why after soft-capping catching my drops were increasing. I'm going to follow this one.

Haha - exactly. So now they're getting passes thrown their way for the right reasons
