This year the rocket catch is a little different and a lot harder since there is no more strafe catching. To execute the rocket catch you must throw a bullet pass down and to the right (about 4 o'clock on the left analog stick) if you are throwing to the right receiver. If throwing to the left receiver just throw down and to the left (about 7'oclock on the left analog stick). Now here comes the hard part, you have to kinda run back so that you are in front of the circle so that you are strait up with the ball.
Streak the outside WR, let him go about 20 yards, throw a bullet with pass lead down AND to the outside. (ie: if throwing to left side the pass lead is a downward, diagonal left) As the ball comes down click onto the WR, briefly tap staight down and press and hold Y!

Glad the rocket catch is gone or harder to do. This way no more Brandon Marshall nonsense

Strafe catching isn't gone, you just have to learn how to manually strafe.

I am talking about the animated or spectacular catch where you could jump up in the air like 10 feet high and catch the ball. I used the Lions alot and killed that with Roy Williams and Charles Rogers. I don't think anyone abused it as much as alot of the guys that used the Broncos (Brandon Marshall) and the Saints (Marques Colston)

This year both the DB and the WR will be able to go get the ball. Gotta like that cause both players have a fair shot at the ball.

it isnt that bad but it can be over done and kinda cheezy on every freakin catch specially with tall wr...i user pic but i mean those are only bad passes and i only user catch on bad passes like wen my qb get hit and stuff that's it...i neva learned how to throw the spec catch jus figured if the cpu wanted ta do it den itll do it.

Adam! how do you do a strafe catch in the demo since holding down the or the left trigger doesn't cause your wr to strafe.
I know you are one of the top madden players on the site and you can easily answer this for everybody to know and understand... myself included

I love the strafe catch aswell... to me it's the greatest from of a user catch... not a animation that alot of PPL use to get BS receptions.
