I'm looking for discover hot water, but:
1 when gamecenter write
"pass incomplete, ovethrown" I can read: The engine check the QB passing+vision is bad for a complete pass
2 when gamecenter write: "the receiver is not able to make the catch" I can suppose that Qb pass+vis is good enough but Catching+position of WR is not good.
It is correct?


Not completely

overthrown can be a result of missing skills, and/or of missing time due blitzing / bad blocking

no catch can be the result of bad QB throwing, bad receiver catching or good defender action. Or even a result of all 3.

If you could point me to the manual page that caused confusion, I could fix it


Its not that the manual is confusing, its just that the distances and what "pass" means isn't exactly spelled out how you have here. Or at least, I didn't see it under pass or playbook or the obvious places.

In addition to pass targets there are several types of passes: screen, short, medium and deep passes, and each of those can go to the left, middle or right side of the field.

Does it say somewhere how long short, medium and deep passes are?

I don't see how to s e l e c t screen pass.

Also, how do you s e l e c t targets (RB for example?).

There is no way to s e l e c t screen passes. The QB decides this.

behind LOS = screen

LOS + 10 = short
LOS+10 - LOS + 20 = medium
LOS+20++ = deep


11:07 2 and 10 to go on own 44, Florentino Pickens (OC) snaps the ball to Carson Ashcraft (QB), Carson Ashcraft (QB) selected Dominick Brooks (WR/L) as target, the receiver of this medium outer left pass catches the ball, Dominick Brooks (WR/L) tackled by Cleveland Hanley (CB/R), forward progress: 5 yards (Pro set vs. 4-3-4)

Am I confused, I thought a medium pass was at lease 10 yards of forward progress. I'm assuming that LOS stands for Line of Scrimmage?

Ah...okay...I didn't see that. So you're saying that essentially there is something that's not working 100% about this?

Thanks,

Sometimes it is mentioning MEDIUM, but it should be SHORT. There is nothing wrong with the game itself, just an odd depth description
