I don't know. I get the gripes about passing, though I think it's more an overall issue with AI reads and situational awareness than with raw numbers. For me, at least, it's not so much specifically deep attempts (i.e. 20+ yds), it's the overall low level of aggressiveness by the AI QB and the abundance of dump-offs, no matter who the QB is or what the situation is.

It seems the actual deep passes average out close enough over time (though I've had too many games where I might not even see one), but context matters, and the AI doesn't take enough advantage of favorable match-ups in the secondary IMO. They are too quick to take the check-down and not patient enough on the intermediate/timing routes, which distorts the general feel of the game (Again, IMO).

I was finally able to get better AI passing by upping CPU accuracy, but I know most don't like that option, given the issues with high CPU comp% as it is (though, in my experience, "Robo QB" doesn't change too much one way or the other unless you go below 20-25 anyway). To be clear, all of this is prior to today's tuning update. I've yet to see what, if any, passing changes resulted from the pass rushing tweaks.

People saying there were too many drops..
I dropped mine because I wasn't seeing any drops of significant amounts.
And as stated above..you go slow increments and play a decent amount of games to get enough data to make a determination...

I still do not see a lot of drops at all so in time I may drop more... we'll see.

Dbs read run better than the lineman and lbs that are trained to do so, this is a big issue. They react to the run instantaneously.

Hey I know we have a ways to go but I do honestly feel that way.
Some will never feel that way and I get it.. and they are entitled to feel that way also.

The game is still playing great for me, but I'm going to start exploring Sliders a little now. Something that's a little displeasing, although minor in the grand scheme of things is the lack of apperance options for my created coach.

If the game is going to display my coach a lot on the sidelines, It would be nice to be able to edit a little more in depth. It's basically been the same for over a decade now. Three body types, three sets of clothes, 6 faces, and two skin tones.. pretty disappointing.

Luckily the game plays great and the graphics are nice. I can get over it.

Yeah wish they would have also put in the game face. Either way I'd love more options and they need to get the headset on created coaches.

They could hit up some techniques from PS3/360 TW games too. Those games had great features for creating players.
