in each game my team suffers interceptions when the ball is on his way to TE and WR. What can I do to eliminate this fault?

The simplest answer is to avoid ever using long and medium passes - they don't work.

Beyond that - intelligent QB perhaps? Receivers with decent positioning/vision skills?

Interceptions happen, we can't iron them out completely.

Mostly the MLBs are a huge threat and it might help to pass mainly (not allways) to the sidelines.

you cant always say long and med dont work; i think it boils down more to random chance sometimes

I can because I used scrimmages to test them...

Against 5-3-3 defense and 3-4-4 defense
I have a good QB and receivers behind a solid OL
My secondary sucks in comparison

And they don't work.

Not even slightly.

In his case I would say they don't work.

He has had 13 Interceptions, 43 completions and a completion % around 35 in the last two friendlies. Furthermore all but one of the interceptions were thrown for 15 yards. Hence all of them medium passes.

I would get medium and long passes out of the playbook, and expect that to fix it.

Used them myself most recently in games against Solana_Steve.

There have been 21 interceptions in those two games 15 of which have come from medium or long passes.

Plus, in the scrimmages where my teams were testing med/long passes, guess who lead the interceptions?

Linebackers.

VS 5-3-3
Medium Passing 10 Interceptions, 6 to LBs, 4 to CBs, 0 to SF
Long Passing 14 Interceptions, 12 to LB, 2 to CB, 0 to SF

VS 3-4-4
Medium Passing 10 interceptions, 6 to CB, 3 to LB, 1 to SF
Long passing 14 Interceptions, 12 to LB, 1 to CB, 1 to SF

thanks for your answers! I will change the long and medium passes to pass. I am curious what will happen.

Medium passes work. You can see in the games stats, that most passes are in the medium area (red). If you s e l e c t "pass" than the QB s e l e c t "screen", "short" or "medium" pass. If you use "only" the medium pass, than you really get a problem. To use medium pass sometimes is no problem in my opinion. Long passes are an own story.
