I have no idea if this has ever been suggested, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Often times I find that my QB will throw to the first target earlier than I'd like, before he has uncovered on a crossing route, or before he gets past the CB on a streak.

I'd like to see a 'Wait' option implemented in progressions and also a sub option of 'x number of ticks'.

Whadaya think?

you can address that in the QB's tactics for the most part if I am not mistaken.

+1 but

apparently they feel its already too "complexed" for us to understand. but.....building a dot the right way for 2yrs is "LESS" complexed than the progression tree?

Well spelling out Wait would actually make it easier to understand than the blank space.

You could just watch your receivers and how the defenders move, then order the progressions so the ball is thrown where you want it when you want it to be there. Takes a little tweaking of QB & receiver tactics too.

That also changed a whole lot this season. None of my old progressions for forcing a later pass worked this season at all. I am all for a "wait" option in the progressions, it would be a lot nicer than trying to keep up with the constant changes to coverage.

I had thought of the idea to add a "Go to Guy" type % adjustment to each pass play... where basically, you choose a receiver for each play who the play is meant to go to... so he will get that "Go to Guy" bonus and there will be more of a chance that he will get the throw and less of a chance the pass is thrown to someone else... obviously doesn't have to be used at all... OC's choice.

+1, also, why are we limited to 5 progressions, wouldn't it be better if we could use say 4-8, based on our choice as OC?

how often do you even see the QB reach the 5th option?

+1 to the OP. The progressions do seem somewhat screwed up this Season as MileHighShoes stated so the wait option could help in certain instances. However, -1 to more than 5 progressions because as stated above that only happens in rare instances, if any & that isn't part of the OP anyway nor should it be.

The progressions change because the dots change as you move up through the leagues.

Nah, they definitely changed somewhat this Season as I am talking about the same Level League as last Season, not higher. I don't care that much as I have learned to roll with the GLB punches, but a wait option may improve this.

No offense intended, but you don't own or coordinate anything above sophomore. Yes, builds change so much during that span that you have to expect to adjust the progressions every season until the builds are near complete.

I am not here to argue, but I do know how different level players react already over the many many Seasons I have played here & have coordinated as far up as Pro Level. Whether or not they add this is obviously up to Bort & Co., but I do see a wait option coming in handy as far as QB progressions goes & I doubt it is very hard to code in. However, if you put wait that means your QB is holding onto the ball for that extra tick & stands that much more chance of being sacked.
