Way too many drops

[kevj349]

You make the assumption that you are making sim throws when you say that the game has too many drops when getting hit. A receiver in real life doesn't get slammed over the middle 20 times a game like most people play in NCAA games.

IMO too many drops in the demo. On *BOTH* sides of the ball. Made to look extra terrible in Heisman. The problem with the passing in this game is that you never miss. Think about it. How many passes hit either the WR or DB. Now think about an actual saturday game, and think about how many passes are JUST out of reach, or hit the ground right in front of the WR. You just don't see that in the game. It ALWAYS hits someone.

I've noticed that receivers don't hang onto the ball if you hang them out to dry or if contact is imminent. I like that so now players are forced to make good decisions and can't get lucky throwing to a slot when a 250 pound linebacker is ready to take their head off.

Unless, of course, you enjoy going 28 for 30 every game and leading the nation with an 85 percent completion rate.

Actually in my dynasty I have never completed that percentage of passes, surprised if I ever seen the 70's for a season or won the heisman. I want when the catch should be made it's made. I don't want my comp% to be deflated.

Case in point, and while this might be an extreme example... Jake Locker went 4-20 versus Nebraska at home last year, but his receivers dropped eight balls. It happens.

No, 5-6 drops on a regular basis isn't realistic with four two minute quaters. I didn't throw the ball on every down either. I believe I threw the ball 65-70 percent of the time.

the drops may be unrealistic, but the accuracy is also unrealistic.

see, to me that IS sim. the qb can float a perfect spiral right between the numbers of a wide-open receiver, and sometimes, they're STILL going to drop it. not every catchable ball is going to be caught.

I know there should be dropped passes, but based on the NCAA Football 12 demo, I believe the frequency of dropped passes is too high.
