We'll probably have about a 50% completion rate this season...which is just about perfect for PeeWee IMO.

I'm glad the 65-70% garbage from the past few seasons is gone...let's get back to some good football where coaching counts. Chucking the ball 25 yards down the field on 3rd & 14 and catching it 2/3 of the time was really bad football. I'm excited to see the completion rate on 3rd & long going really low...it's more realistic. Just like in real life you'll have to get some yards on 1st & 2nd down to set up manageable situations. Throwing the ball 10+ yards 3 times in a row knowing you will very likely catch one of them was just plain stupid.

And for the record, the s12 slam was more like 25-30% completion...this is much improved over that, and teams are still capable of balanced attacks.

I understand that it takes talent to look at a defense and realize which pass plays will work and how to set the progression. But I think a lot of people under appreciate that it takes talent to look at a defense, breaking down when they run that defense and how they are likely going to tag you...and then knowing which run plays will work; including ones that are rarely used. And I'm talking about studying a defense...not being a 3rd rate OC and just looking at the stats under the 'scout' feature to see which runs work, I think we all can agree that those OCs are pretty bad.

Put what I couldn't say into words lol

ISlam sucks for me

- Bump up lower level passing bonuses a bit
- Fix bug where QB vision line would "freeze" when a player outside of AI defined progressions became wide open

Thanks Bort

- Update timeout logic to make sure neither team calls 4th quarter timeouts while winning

Yeah it was probably a good idea to do that lol
% should be at about 45 IMO

i wouldn't mind if the average pass completion % was 35 or even lower, but the dropped passes needs to be improved more than it is coz open passes being dropped all the time is a bit of a joke!

Ok, I guess I should have ate my words...today, helsinki had 1 caught WR pass...1/13 the rest were HB/FB dumpoffs

It did!

I thought it looked better in our first game. Wide open receivers were actually making catches. Covered receivers were having the ball deflected. Drops were about right for this time in the season. Too early to judge though.
