In my opinion Interceptions do not occur frequently enough at the high level. It is not realistic for a DB to take his catching to even 61, much less 68+ where it is needed to see consistent interceptions unless he wants to sacrifice other extremely fundamental parts of his build and be a worse player overall. The current player leading the WL in interceptions is . . . well there are 22 of them because the most any player has in 11 games is 2. This seems ridiculously low, considering the NFL leader in INTs has 7 after 11 games (followed by quite a few with 5 or 4). I think one of the problems is that tipped passes are virtually nonexistent in this sim and seem to completely vanish at the higher levels. There need to be more deflections up into the air by defensive linemen and on dropped/deflected passes, especially when there is a fight for the ball (catch in traffic). Even the best QB's get picked every now and then when a pass gets put up in the air, and it doesn't take 74 catching to snag one. I just watched Clay Matthews do it today, and I bet an OLB with his build in this game would have about 8 catching.

To conclude, I never ever see balls tipped up into the air in this game. Adding this mechanic across all levels would greatly improve the sim and the experience of your customers. I would further beseech you to consider lowering the threshold on catching interceptions, as it is unrealistic to expect any DB to take his catching very high the way the game is constructed. If your plan is to give us even more SP's with future changes then that's cool, but otherwise you really can't make it work without significant sacrifices.

+1 especially if we are to believe DBs get 2 rolls. the 1st roll and after the Wrs roll.

Being an ex-linebacker in real life, I loved tip drills the most.

+1 if this effects every offense except my own.
