Intercepting a pass

[dwarfrunner]

I have always wondered why this is.

The roll to attempt an interception is made after the opposing team has declared the pass, but before he rolls.

The part I don't understand is why it is not attempted AFTER the pass has been made.

Theoretically, you could intercept a pass that would have most likely been fumbled. Giving you worse field position with the ball, than if he had dropped it.

Just a thought

Thanx

It's a game mechanic to ensure that there are more interceptions happening as when you would proceed realistically and roll for it after the pass roll. Furthermore it reduces the pass sequence a bit as the whole action could be over after the opponent successfully intercepts.

It's against common sense but it was done to put a bit more weight into interceptions

As Nark said, plus you never have to attempt to intercept the ball.

That makes sense I guess. It is out of sequence of what you would think is the realistic way to do it. but it does give you more opportunity to intercept the ball.

Thanks for the info, not like I make many picks anyways. To short to reach.
