I am looking to find out what tactics are run effectively for Passing Style and Priority.

Also is creative route running the way to go?

QB Tactics need to be adjusted over the course of the career. Starting out you need more loft, because receivers can't catch well yet. You have to balance deflections and INTs against drops. If you have more drops that DEFs, you need more loft. Dial in more bullet as you grow.

Creative route running only starts to work at 80+ agility. Cuts depend on agility, and more importantly accelerating after the break is agility based. If your agility is too low, you'll just run slow sloppy routes.

In my opinion for max level dots...

Between -60 and -80 bullet.
Always -100 open man.

For creative route running it should be somewhat dot specific but I generally like...
RB=creative
FB=creative
TE=exact
WR=a mix, still working through it. But at the moment creative.


I do want to note I think the 160/90/90 spd/agi/catch wr's are a proven failure at this point in top level competitive games, so people really should stop building them like that. Also height matters for wr's so stop making them 5'8...

I'll add this little bit having done this myself with my own receivers... while Agility is important... at least enough to get a tiny bit of separation... don't foeget Vision when considering setting a receiver for 'Creative'. Low vision dots tend to not do very well as opposed to dots with at least 50 vision. Part of 'Creative' is the WR 'seeing' an open place to go to... or 'seeing' that if he stops his route suddenly, he'll get that little bit of 'open'... and also 'seeing' the Qb is targeting him as well. If the receiver can't see well enough, they run INTO trouble just as often as they get open... which leads to INT's a bit too often for my tastes.

Would rather have 150/100/90 myself. That extra agility really does help get you open... as well as not losing speed on hard cuts. And totally agree with Height.
