I played around with the sliders and the O tactics. I tried an offense based purely around passing long, and short, to the HB, to receivers who specifically have low catching vs high catching. All of it. I've had quite a few cupcake games so I can see purely how well the QB is passing even to an open receiver, and when you put it too far on bullet low catching guys have more trouble and even high catching guys (69 in this case) they can bobble the ball and get deflected mid catch even when they never do that on lofty.
Passing priority admittedly depends a lot on the defense you're facing. If getting hurried is never a possibility you're safer putting it to the right, but against competition at this level, I find it's better placed on the left.
Even in blowouts I have it set to -50 right now because my QB has good vision and he knows when to let the ball go.First off, level 19 is not an appropriate level to base definitive tactics on. Your build, and your surrounding defenders/wrs builds, are not even close to full enough to make anything that happens with them relevant.
2nd, you've had 1 game with over a 70% completion rate, and it was against a gutted team in a blowout.
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=1437&team2=1517 I don't know where you got that number from, lol. In even matchups, you're completion %s are sub 50.
3rd, even if your level/build was relevant, your stats aren't impressive enough to warrant you coming out here and telling people in definitive statements how they should set things, with no reason beyond a "trust me".
Not trying to be a dick, but it bugs me when people like this come out here and make claims like theyre fact, and then you look into their experience and they have no business giving any advice at all. This kind of stuff misleads everyone.
Id personally say that passing bar should be slightly right, and priority either centered, or set on a game by game basis, depending on your opponent's defense. Just an opinion though, and I really have no idea, as Im still experimenting. I've definitely noticed more picks/deflections/drops when passing is on the bullet side, though, and not just on my QBs, but on other teams Im on where this issue has come up.
