Long time ago I noticed there seemed to be as many INT's off of deflections as INT's that were straight up... and even the straight up INT's seemed to be more about the defender being in the right place at the right time (like between the QB and the receiver on a somewhat short pass... or being past the receiver on an overthrown ball...). So I started including Deflect Ball in my INT builds. I did get a couple of INT's off of that approach but I noticed that I would get the deflection and someone else would get the INT. For me, that made Deflect ball even more important then Make INT % did but then I never was all about personal stats... just team wins.
IMO, over the course of a (defender) dot's career you'll get more 'deflection' chances than INT chances which makes deflecting the more useful of the two... again, IMO.
