I noticed you are throwing many long passes (25 yards). Those passes have a huge interception rate. Remove them and let in your PB "Pass" instead of "Pass Deep" or "Pass Medium". By keeping "Pass", the distance will be adapted automaticly and your interceptions number will drop immediatly.

Not cool that nobody told you that before.

Not in 1.1 at least. My CBs all have 20-25 catching and 40-50 Intelligence. My LBs have ~20 catching, 40+ Intelligence, and most of my MLBs have long reach. I'm squarely in the middle of the pack for interceptions in Admirals 1.1.

It's like Meitheisman pointed out, interceptions are such small sample sizes and there is a considerable amount of RNG involved, so its hard to really figure out the correlations.

but if anyone has a CB with 20-25+ catching that might give us some insight on that...

Two of my CBs
Lucas Bourgoin Catching : 39,5
Cédric Chaillou Catching : 30,1

Also what use does it have for a safety as they don't intercept at all ?

Drogon : "SF can also get interceptions in this game.
This is not the only interception by Terry Simonnet (FS, INT=32,5) and he's not the only SF to get interceptions."

What to do with this guy thread... ID: 100113725

Yes SF can intercept passes but they do that just on medium or long passes.

As those a very rarely used, we do not see many Interceptions by Safeties

My corners interceptions followed catching.

44 catch .. 13 int
37 catch .. 11 int
31 catch ... 9 int.

99 percent sub so should be evenly matched competition wise. Very small sample though and intelligence wise followed same pattern. 50, 48, 41 in same order.

One of my Safeties has 2 interceptions this season; another has 5.
Their catching is low - 7.8 and 15. Skills are in the 40-45 range. INT is 40 and 50

Were they against bots or new teams ?

Never seen an interception by a safety in a proper game so regard it useless for a safety and have footwork as the next skill behind tackling, vision, pos, agility.

For linebackers and corners, I train catching after the big 4 and before footwork (partly because their ACs train it)

As per my other post, all my corners have 30+ catching and one of them had 44 catching. We were second in Admirals 1.1 for Interceptions

Can't be arsed scouting Mascots who were top interceptors.

Its probably a reasonable factor.

I suspect with a team rating of 85 your CB have more than Catching going for them

Out of curiosity I checked out the Mascots' pick leaders. They had Catching skills ranging from 6 - 14. Not one higher than that.

I'm sure its a factor. I was just commenting on Long Reach / Catching combo doesn't create pick monsters. At least not in my experience (unfortunately ).
