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.


I thought that then I checked the little pitch overview against my playbook and instead of being 5 of 20 in one game I was actually 2 of 16 with 2 interceptions

You might also take a look at your receivers INT.

My understanding is that higher INT on your WR and TE will help prevent INT's as well.

I think that graphic includes rac and is thus misleading.

One thing I have noticed is that on 1st, 2nd or 3rd and 10, that often an 11yd pass is thrown and intercepted. Anyone else notice this?

sometimes; again; i think its random; and the new engine might have better success or have you noticed it in the friendlies that its doing it?

Pretty sure it's been the main engine - not sure.

Come to think of it, I might be wrong about the rac thing too - maybe it's this?

from what i understand there is no calculation of rac or yac, though i could be wrong; maybe pete could clarify.

Assuming what Buffalo said is right (that if you s e l e c t "pass" you get screens, passes (short) and med passes) then that's probably it.

I was somehow under the impression that if you selected "pass" that you only got screens and passes (short).

Mind you, I still never see 15yd jobs. Maybe there's something between pass and med?

there is; it depends on a lot of varying factors; i saw a few with my old starting QB but not as many as with my new guy

Btw, can anyone tell the min distance of a long pass? I know it's 15yds for a medium.

id say based on the 4 throwing depths on the tracker in the game stats; at least 20 yards
