What are these deep high-point fades everyone is using now?

ultimately EA's fault for bringing out such a broken game where stuff like this is even possible

Quote from MikeyD >> Get pressure on the QB. From what I understand, play action is needed for what you're describing to work.

 This, plus you can click on and defend it.  It is not unstoppable.

Quote from Nikelz81 >> High point fade can be stopped. It’s OP and cheesey but not a glitch 

 Okay, here we go again... multiple threads yet you offer up no advice? Because it’s your cheese right?

To the guys saying it’s not a glitch.. It’s absolutely 100% a glitch.. the swerve last year could also be stopped if you had really good stick and knew it was coming.. doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a glitch.. You shouldn’t have to tailor your defense to stop something that should never be open to begin with.. but no base align cover 3, manually back your corners up a few extra steps, get 97+ speed on your corners, click on, try and move your cb in front of the WR and hold swat.. that usually works, but sometimes there’s nothing you can do and the WR will still get tha animation

Ran into to this as well, guy used ODB to score 3 times with it.  I had the same reaction, my Sean T just stood there, WTF??  

So besides usering and swat ball, there are no adjustments to counter it? No coaching adjustments, just pray??

This. Loaded team last night. Stretch, Stretch, High Point C Routes. Repeat. When I user'd a Corner on one side he just threw it to the WR on the other and there was my CB rooted to th spot staring up into space! Ran Stretch no matter what happened on 1st and 2nd down even after I started blowing it up and got out of a hole on 3rd with the C Route. 4th Down and 14 on your own 10? Yup, throw that C Route. So utterly, utterly dull! Was down by 7 in the 3rd Quarter and just got so fed up I gave him the W. It was incredibly boring for me but couldn't have been any better for him?? Why play the game that way? Just do not get it at all....

Quote from thanotoriousdjb >> I can’t stand this trash a** play. Bums run it, there’s a reason it’s not being run by the pros, they’d get black balled from tourneys. When there isn’t a defense for it, it’s a glitch and should take EA bums until June to fix it. 

 Probably not seen as much in pros bc of their OLs (they play on salary cap) and they’re already running Bunch which has its own exploits/advantages they run repeatedly.

 Play action is not needed at all. Just an accurate QB and good throw power. I can do it without a play action. Pressure will only help if the opponent has a QB with bad traits. A QB like Tom Brady won’t even flinch. I can run it and stop it. I’ve been doing it since 17 but never abuse it. It’s popular now because Youtubers are using it for views and people sell it in E books.

Just play this due name AssassinAZo the high Fade was his only play and he would try to do it on everyone down with 98 Harold Carmichael  it wouldn't work on my UL Rod because he had 99 speed after a few try he flip the play and do it on my NTL. I beat him on the last second using his own play against him the high fade pass then I messages him and said that it doesn't take that much skill to run a play like that all you need is lot of $$$ to open pack and he didn't respond back.

I had a guy did this three times. That explains how he got behind my 98 defense three times in the first half. smh

I consider this cheating and don't use it.  I'm safe in the thinking that this is cheating right?

Quote from BP0803 >> This now makes a lot of sense.  I was wondering why in WL I had a couple of people throw absolute bombs and Sean T was in position to make a play, but did absolutely nothing.  He didn't jump for the ball, try to intercept it......just basically stopped completely when the ball got there.

 Go to coaching and switch to play the ball. It might help

Quote from ndalum32 >> It's the equivalent of low point passing. When you use the modifier the D dumbs out. Remove them both

 I agree low point pass is the absolute worst right now. There should be no way you can throw a 30 yard pass low and it not hit the ground but in madden you can throw it all day and every time you throw it the WR catches it.

Got beat by twitch streamer Alaking because of this. You need to user and the corner/safety as soon as it gets thrown. This play is similar to the hail Mary glitch because your defender slows a bit and their wr gets a boost with that catch animation. I tried cover 2, cover 3, cover 3 with inverting the outside thirds, and cover 3 with manning up the corner on the outside wr. Sucks that people need to resort to that bs to win.

I got hit with it this WL at the worst time.. up 4 with 7 seconds left, I had the dude back on his own 30 yd line on 4th down. Throws deep fade to Moss, my ST dumbs out...walk off TD.

Idk but it suck for sure.
