And if you have a Chris Todd, then only bubble screens and slants should be completed, everything else should be a incompletion.
Classic...

It took you that long? LOL

I check after he completes the first pass.

Well, this is because it works in real life too. Alot of NFL teams put their best #1 WR on the wide side, and it's becoming more and more widespread in offenses.

College is different--the hash marks are so wide. Outside breaking routes to the far hash to the outside WR almost never happen in college football unless the QB has a designed roll out that way.

Maybe just have a rating, for experience perhaps, on each player for every position. This could make you think twice about moving that stud junior safety to corner or to linebacker so you can give the incoming 5 star recruit freshman some playing time, while also making your linebacking corp better. If a player has little experience, their base awareness will take a hit, but say, as they get more experience, they get a bonus to their base awareness. Add in a practice mode that actually affects a players ratings and this experience rating, and it could be very fun to mess around with and take the time to actually develop some underclassmen.

I was playing as Minnesota against Ohio State, and I hurt their first, second, AND third string quarterback, believe it or not. So they had their backup receivers rotate in at qb for some strange reason, and guess what. These guys could throw from sideline to sideline with ease. With 40 in THP and 40 in THA. Needless to say I went in and changed the cpu qb accuracy slider to zero. I couldn't stand it.

So, here's a thought. Why can't they time how long it takes a bullet pass to get from a QB to a 5 yard out on the short side of the field, and make the ball travel that speed in the game. Then have a QB trow to the far side of the field, time it, and use that in the game. Ball physics cannot really be as hard as EA makes it seem. I mean, the flippin ball rotated the wrong direction both the last two years.

That would work. I think Madden did a better job with pass speeds last year so hopefully that will make it's way to NCAA

Re: Why Pass Speeds and Arm Strength are so Important in College Football

i agree, you cant input locomotion without also making the passes more realistic. ncaa wants points on the board, i hope at some point they realize they dont need to make the game less sim than madden. all they need to do is spread the ratings out, make fatigue a factor, and the points will come.

every qb on ncaa should not be capable of making nfl throws. thats not to say a weak armed qb shouldnt be able to throw a cross the field pass, but it should be easily defended by a good college defense due to being a wounded duck or inaccurate.
