Is it just me or does it seem like thete are an awful lot of tipped passes in the games and even more amazing that the receivers seem to catch most of them after it?

I haven't seen anything that calls this out to me. Not a high number of tipped passes, and most in my games hit the dirt.

Totally disagree I stopped counting after 10 tipped passes in my last game which is just totally unrealistic

It registers a "tip" if the defender gets his hand on the ball, which may or may not significantly affect its flight path. I suppose it might be a good idea to modify the reporting so it only tells you if the flight path was altered above a certain threshold.

Maybe your players just have unusually good reflexes :-)

I'll put it in queue to look at further.

I see this happen most often when a QB goes to one side and then tries to throw over the entire glut of linemen which is something I would really like to stop seeing happening since QBs get benched for that sort of thing.
