Solid stuff i will have to incorporate on my fictional roster. Especially with the QB sim stats on awareness and throw power. I did most of my stuff for gameplay stuff and at the end of it all i was trying to figure out simulation stats and it was just giving me a headache.
I will also say that simulation stats are affected by playbooks. I noticed a decent scrambling qb on my fictional roster on the steelers was always having an insane amount of pass attempts (BIG BEN) and i switched the best qb's playbook in CFM to the steelers and he shot up the stats charts.
For QB traits game play wise:
I watched alot of CPU v CPU trying to figure these out for my fictional roster and here is what i got.
Trigger happy: QB will hit alot of short routes, first reads, like the name says hes trigger happy and scared of getting hit.
- trigger happy-agressive- qb's they will take shots down the field as well, counted 12 passes over 15 yards yards with this.
- Trigger happy- conservative- 4 pass attempts over 15 yards. Nice to have for someone who doesn't hit alot of deep throws, and has a strong run game.
Paranoid: They see someone break through and they are throwing it, kinda random in terms of short or long range, but depending on the force pass trait is where they will throw it. With Paranoid aggressive, if you blitz, and they got a deep man going, they will take a shot down the field more often then not.
Ideal: I like ideal for mobile qbs. Its kinda random what they do with it, but they will move ideally with pressure. Whether they take off and run or just try to evade the pressure is a coin flip though.
Average: Kinda the same thing as ideal, but provide some head scratches as well. Mobile qbs with this will take some sacks but still move around from time to time.
Oblivious: I initially thought of this trait as someone who has no clue what is going on and just gets sacked all the time. This is the case if they have a bad line. But throw that on a good qb and the game play gives you someone that is just a stone cold killer in the pocket and it doesnt phase him. Gotta be careful with someone that has low carrying as they could get alot of fumbles, but this is a fun trait, especially for good qbs.
Aggressive: Overall, you get the best gameplay with force pass set to aggressive. Without a doubt. You cant edit this trait in CFM though only outside, my plan was for incoming rookie qb's be set to balanced. Unless they already have agressive.
Tight spiral: IDK WHY YOU Cant edit this outside of CFM, but anyone with over 88 throw power should have this. With this off, you see some ducks thrown from time to time.
Throws ball away: You will still see qbs throw the ball away with this off about 2-4 times a game. With it on, its more likely. With mobile qbs i like this off as their read when they sense pressure is to move away from pressure and not throw it away. With it on you see it like 5-8 times a game.
Penalty: Make sure mobile qbs have disciplined penalty bias. With undisciplined you sometimes see them scramble and then try and throw it after they cross the line of scrimmage, just ugly especially when they have nothing but day light in front of them. Still see it sometimes with disciplined but just the right amount as opposed to undisciplined.
Hope these help make your roster better bro.
