So far ive just kept my QB's using medium and my starter is putting up excellent stats (current rating is about 95, but he did hit 104 at one point). However I am about to come up against a much better team than my other opponents so far and while their back field isnt great I want as much advantage as possible as I think its going to be a high scoring game.

So any information on the difference, what stats are needed to make bullett efective and peoples experiences with it would be great.

I have had excellent experience so far..2 games. Games were around 75% pass completion and no ints..which is rare for me it seems. I think one of the largest factors is your WR's even more then your personal skill. Obviously if you have a bad throwing QB i am sure it wont help but if you have had moderate success and feel you have WRs with the catching ability to not end up dropping half of them i would give it a try.

It all depends on your WR's catching to tell you the truth. If your dudes have great hands and rarely drop it then you can go bullet.randoljr is on the money with WR's having a bigger effect on it's success.

yes catching has everything to do with it. i had to get my wr's over 50 to be able to get them to hold onto the ball when i throw it. last three games since i have used bullet and gotten their catching up i have thrown 6 td's and 1 int.

I switched over to Bullet for one game and ended up tossing 2 INTs, while the game before that I had like an 80% completion percentage. I go back to medium and end up going 7/13 (with 4 drops by our WRs). My QB has pretty low strength though.

I would think bullet throwing would be a supplement for lower strength in the throwing but might effect the accuracy some...

From Bort, page 219 of the recent updates thread in the announcements thread:

"Don't overthink it (pass style) too much - it's just the angle the QB will throw the ball at. I've found that slower, loftier passes are easier for the receivers to catch because they can get into position much easier and not have to reach out for it. That also means the DB's can get into position, of course."

"It's mostly for short passes, where angle doesn't matter as to being able to get the ball to the receiver (such as passes to the HB). Throwing a 50 yard bomb won't be affected at all because you have to put a lot of air under it no matter what."

"I'd set it to medium for most QB's, probably. It means he throw it to short guys at around a 10-15 degree angle."

I tried bullet today against a gutted team and our TE had a lot more than usual drops and I had a lot more than usual incompletions.

I just tried bullet today and we won...the team we played was ranked right up there only loosing to the two best teams in the league, and in fact we beat them more than the two highest ranked teams. I think it depends on your team, tactics and WRS.

Tried Bullet.

4 INTs, 56% completion.

This is on a 60 Vision/70 Throwing/8 Tight Spiral QB with three 50+ Catching WR's against a bad team.

lev 18 QB - 65 throwing, 40 strength, vision 43 to WR's 30-32 catching.
i've been on bullet for 7 games without good results (3 int. last game).
it's a new team with developing WR's, am i over throwing them?
also, is it better to have no favorite receivers? i mean are you going to throw to them instead of someone open?

I went from a 59.3 Completion % against a gutted team on bullet, to a 70.8 completion % against a team that was better than the gutted team on medium:

Yes, you are going to try and force it to them in favor of more open targets and the lower your vision and the better the coverage the more you will.

I've been using bullet and averaging 65-77% the last few weeks. My receivers have decent catching...but not like they're at 60+.
