Ive heard people say you can but so far I have also failed to do so.They can catch it but
you can't...I think.

yes u can. press x to catch

You Press The triangle.

you have to get their attention first because sometimes you hit them and they get angry at
you.

You can catch stuff by pressing triangle.
But you have to time it, with the other person's throw, and press triangle just as the
thing gets to you. You can throw footballs, soccer balls and frisbees. If you're going to
piff something at someone, pick it up and aim at someone when they're facing you, but
DON"T talk to them. Then they'll either MOTION FOR YOU TO THROW IT TO THEM, or they'll run
away screaming. You can play catch with girls too, and if there are people watching, they
cheer. But, uh, be prepared to run- I was playing catch with Angie, and she motioned to
throw the frisbee to her- it whacked her in the face. Instant red trouble meter. Practice,
practice practice.
