1) I know that setting a primary target from the AI, will increase the change that the QB will force the pass.
Do anyone now how the vision effect this? Ie how much vision the QB need to be able to see a second target ? a third target ? and so on.

2) I seen some claim that setting the play length (short/mid/long) changes the way the HB/FB align on the field both on run/pass play. Has anyone checked this and have clear evidence whether this is truth or some of the junk running around ?

1) I honestly don't see this happening that often. With a decently built QB, he's always going to throw to the "most open" guy, if he has any time at all to throw. Maybe if a QB had like 25 vision, setting the favorite targets would have more impact.

2) 100% false. I'm not providing evidence. Spend the same hours my teams spent testing and finally concluding that it's a BS theory, like many others.

I agree with Forbin on both points, assuming that you are referring to the team AI (not individual QB tactics) in the first point. If you are referring to individual QB tactics, I've found that choosing favorite targets does cause forced passes at the early stages of a QB's development (it's less of a problem as the QB's vision gets higher, again, assuming that the QB has time to throw). The biggest cause of forced passes, from my perspective, is setting checkdowns to "never", but it has some real benefits as well.

Thanks for both answer.

I had a feeling that the play length thing is a nonsense, but had not the opportunity to check that myself.
