Do the new ball physics mean that wind affects the ball on pass plays now?

No. Ball physics only get "activated" when the ball makes contact with something.

I believe ratings tie into blocking kicks, yes.

I'm not sure if there's a penalty window for lesser-rated kickers when it comes to the specialty punts.

If ratings matter for blocking kicks, surely we can set our special teams squad, if not, it's kind of a mute point for ratings to matter if it's randomly chosen.

The culprit of this is the "Throws Tight Spirals" Trait.
When off, there is an impact (within CFM, not Play Now) on throws dependant upon wind strength.

The inaccuracy is more straight lined though vs the curvature that's seen on kicks.
They just need to tune to have curvature like on kicks.

But then again, you know how folks get when an uncontrolled user variance is injected into their gameplay!!!

By the first couple of altered throws, it's "broke", "buggy" or "poorly implemented".

Never mind their QB with 85 THP is throwing with a 12mph crosswind. lol

Does you know if these gap assignments affect pass rushing or blitzing in any way?? Does this give Dlinemen pass rush lanes now?? Hopefully it makes end contain a thing.

Thanks senior price

It was mentioned in another post there are no bobble snaps on special teams, are there bad snaps on offence at least? If so, is there a long snapping attribute?

From what I took from blog, now when QB gets hit in throwing motion, there is a chance the ball goes up in air instead of just straight into ground like the past.

When playing as a defender, does the fake out animation trigger for user players who are squaring up on the ball carrier?

I think the window is a lot smaller but I don't know for sure that it's eliminated completely. Will be looking to test this on retail.

Does the game have in pocket QB evade moves?

Can you describe icing the kicker mechanics (if any)?

Is it just cosmetic?
Does it make the accuracy meter smaller or just cover it in ice like NCAA?
If it's not cosmetic, are veteran kickers or kickers with better ratings less susceptible to being iced?

It'd be cool to see it shake or pulse. Something to make it hard to land the line perfectly. Please elaborate if possible me price! Thanks man.

I can't talk about in-pocket QB moves or ice the kicker yet. Sorry guys.

I have a lot of info about kicking to share once I'm able, though.

Have they added any new player traits? One in particular I'd like to see is a hard count trait, think Aaron Rodgers, his hard count is so good I jump offsides on my couch. Defensive and other offensive traits are also a must.

Also, does length matter this year for OL and DL, or can I get away with starting 6'3" LT's again?

Can't answer any of that stuff.

A Hard Count trait would be nice - I can seeing it affecting both offense and defense..As in the A. Rodgers, example above - Rodgers does a hard count a lot, yet the Offensive line rarely jumps, and the defense is more likely to jump; many quarterbacks do not have this ability..

So essentially the Hard Count trait would protect the offensive line from jumping as often based on the likelihood that they practice it more often, and a defense would be just a little more likely to jump; maybe just as much as one extra time a game.
