Interesting. I didn't know that. Makes it easier to build up short and medium first. Thanks.

Just to add to that in case some may not know.
The distances are measure from where you're throwing it from. Not the LOS.

I like that they tuned accuracy down a little this year, but IMO they took it too far on the weak QBs and not enough on the good ones. IMO a QB that makes an NFL roster should be able to at least keep his throws inside the field when playing without a defense. Even Tim Tebow looked good in his pro day.

However, bad QBs should get larger penalties to accuracy when facing a rush and all QBs should take a penalty for a few plays after taking a thunderous hit in the pocket.

Agreed. They need more passes that are slightly off the mark....that is where the receiver ratings really matter. There are passes that a great receiver will grab, but a lesser receiver won't.

And in a practice drill with no defense, even a 3rd string NFL QB should be fairly accurate. The difference in real life being that the defensive pressure probably affects the weaker QB's more than it does the top QB's.....but it seems like defensive pressure may not impact the ratings in the game since it has already precalculated the QB's accuracy?

How come we didn't see any under thrown balls where the wr had to let up or comeback for the ball? I see under thrown balls more than over thrown balls in the NFL.

Something to add in the future that others have touched on -- we absolutely need more passes that are a little off.
I want to see animations where the WR can get a fingertip on the ball but nothing else and not have a chance to make the catch.

As it is now, generally we know immediately whether the pass is accurate or not. I want to see more passes where we are holding our breath to see whether or not the WR can get to it.
