No Clue why he is dropping so many balls...

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=640891

I won't open the build, but had 27 drops last season and 2 drops in the preseason opener. Any advice would be appreciated.

Catching 68.42
Carrying 30.99
Strength 57.42
Confidence 49.32
Vision 49.42
Sticky Hands SA - 4
Cover up SA - 2
Sure Hands VA - 15
Mr Reliable VA - 15

Up carrying - most of your drops are probably being knocked loose. However, Bort apparently reduced the number of balls being knocked loose, so who knows.

I went from 2 last season to 13 this season. My carrying is now at 44. Strength is 57.

First scrimmage and I still had 2 knocked loose. Any suggestion on VAs that might help.

Mr. Reliable is the only one I think may counter it some.

Where's your vision?

A blind man may have the softest hands in the league, but can not see the ball.

A receiver knows where the ball is going, but Bort, in all of his mighty wisdom, loves the variables.

My WR, TE, and FB all quit dropping passes when I brought this up: Period.

I pushed it to my team's players during season 9. Drops are now limited to lower lvl players with bad vision.

Now, I'm noticing the tide of the thread has moved from dropped balls to balls knocked loose.
I must concur with with Sturge; If they're getting knocked loose, then Mr. Reliable is your on ly option, as far as the use of VAs is concerned.

Remember that VAs are run on a percentage based format.
Until your carrying is at least soft-capped, you would be best suited to either spend your VAs somewhere else, or deal with the additional 0.45 point increase, until your carrying comes up.

15 points into the Mr. Reliable VA? What's going to be enough?

Could Cover Up help prevent dropped passes? I have an AEQ piece that I can equip but I don't know how much it will help.

+3 Cover Up/+4 Speed/+2 Confidence

OR

+6 Speed/+1 Catching
