I've got a level 56 QB that's been having major issues with my passes being deflected all season. I've even increased my bullet passing throughout the season.

I'm just wondering, what can help with reducing deflections.

high bullet actually increases pds and ints. The best thing to do is increase strength to a point where you can move as close to lofty as possible and still have zip on the ball.

How would you know where that point is in relation to your QB's strength??

You play with it till you get peak performance. Schedule a cubic buttload of friendlies against even or better competition.

For a level 56ish QB, where should strength be at?

i would say 70 is acceptable, I'm at 80 at 58 and I'm still having problems against the best defenses in OPL with PDs. I'm hoping that at 80 vision, he leads just a little better so maybe that will cut down on pds.

Right now I think I'm completing around 50% of the passes to WRs, which is actually pretty good comparing it to other qbs in the league.

Well I'm sitting at 71 strength and 71 vision, with 107 throwing (EQ included). What would be the best stat to raise?

vision as close to 80 as possible

you can't go wrong increasing either vision or strength at this point and it really depends on what you want to improve. Strength makes the ball go faster, which gives the defenders less time to react which lowers pds. If you are missing open men or not leading the receivers enough, increase vision. At this point you need to get both of them to the 5-1 to cap, (around 73.2 naturally) and I'd pick one or the other to start putting equipment in.

This is what I find confusing. I hear bullet passing leads to more INTs and PDs. Then Strength makes the ball go faster leading to less PDs. But bullet passing help says "passes are thrown harder" which implies it goes faster. Something doesn't fit here.

bullet passes lowers the balls trajectory, which means the ball is lower so the defended in front of the receiver can knock down or intercept the pass. Lofty means the ball is thrown with greater arc, which means the ball can go over the front of the defenders head, but it is slower so its more acceptable to ball hawk. Strength makes the ball go faster so it minimizes the negative to lofty.

i would think that tight spiral and field general would also help....
They both state it right in the description that it will help your WR catch the ball....

as well as +% pass quality. my qb has 9 TS, 7 FG, +35% pass quality with normal str/vis/thr and completes 80% in a not screen heavy offense.

I've got one piece of AEQ that gives + to TS, so that is around 12 right now, and my FG is at 9. So should I just look for +% pass quality? And replace one of my normal EQ pieces for that?
