Warrior General Games

Is it a game wide problem?

This is my first QB but I am having a pretty big issue with bad passes. I chalked it up to being new and young.

The sim was changed a bit towards the defense this season and that's why a lot more QBs have been struggling.

Its a combo of a better pass rush, QBs taking longer to throw the ball, and hurries having more of an effect. Still, the biggest reason your QB is successful or not is the talent/game planning of your team vs the talent/game planning of the opposing team.

Hurry/pick/TD... "borfed".

No doubt. I am having trouble even with 40+ on pass quality

I'm having my worst season ever with my QB. There is no good pass plays that get consistent results and unless you have an incredible line or playing against a team you highly out level, hurries and sacks are crushing moral which compounds the already awful play. This is by far the worst sim I've seen since playing.

- Make QB throwing animation last a couple ticks longer
- Require QB to "set his feet" (stop) when throwing long passes
- Made it harder for the QB to cut off his throwing animation early due to pressure
- Make QB dropback shorter
- Change to radius and method used to determine when QB is hurried
- Make QB less likely to see incoming blitzers

QBs got boned this sim.

What's really sad is that the sim was better about 5-7 seasons ago at this point.
Qbs are really nothing more then managers and caddies for the Hb. Hand the ball off and get the F out of the way. Or they are used as the Hb themselves. It makes owning a Qb boring as hell. My Qb that is old has gone from Great to mediocre to awful in the last 3 seasons. That just plain sucks. I've watched the Qb I was raising up be meh - meh - underlvled - awful and he is built great!

I've have seen pass blocking Olineman looked blind, deaf, & dumb this season as Dlineman go through them and around them and over them. The Qb just holds the ball WAY too long. Bullet doesn't help, Open man doesn't help, and I have yet to see Quick Release do ANYTHING since it was launched. You can only run to succeed in this damn game anymore and thats sad and boring. I feel like I'm watching High School football each game. The Qb goes 15/30 137 yds 1 td 1 int 3 sacks and the team loses yet that qb is a top performer for the game?

Well, I mean, I guess it is what it is. If all the QBs are equally shitty then at least its fair I suppose. I've been playing this game since the tail end of season one (I started with a Safety this is my first QB who is like 100 days old) I guess its kind of more realistic than back then.

In the beginning you have teams playing each other going 75-100 or something crazy like that in scoring, now the games are more reasonable in scoring (outside of CPU or slow build blowouts) Currently I complete about 50 to 60 percent of my passes and have a QB rating of 91 with 1500 yards on the season so far .. which seams about right when you compare it to actual NFL QBs.

I am also an OC for my team and as much as I'd like to throw the ball 90 percent of the time its just not going to happen. We have two good RBs which is our bread and butter on offense.

I don't know, I guess seeing that everyone else is having trouble makes my QB situation easier to swallow.

Another problem is the death of scat-back. QBs don't see anyone and prefer to throw in a covered WR than an open HB.

exactly, I can't get my QB on the team I gm to throw to a RB unless it's a screen. It's absolutely stupid.

Only play that worked was a pass to FB from SI long-skinny post but only against a team that didn't pass rush a lot and could move the slider towards route run (+10).

Just get 7 WR that are faster then hell and go deep every play. I have about given up on the short play because all the BS coverage and drops. You may throw a lot of picks(under thrown) but you will also throw a lot of TD. Then using this they will not load the boxes and your HBs can run wild from the 3 WR sets.

screens suck. delete the screen play from your playbook.

on basic settings just raise the % that the QB throws to the HB. he'll get targeted more

I dunno, My QB does okay. http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1236946

Minor league level 31 cap so not high level QB but I havent had any problems with dump offs or screens
