Player attribute efficacy analysis (sim)

If I remember right, the development team said some time ago that OL footwork and RBK, PBK strength were no longer used in the game. Also, unless this has changed, Deep Accuracy, etc. are not used in simmed games -- instead the single attribute Throw Accuracy is used. It shows up in the attribute listing for free agents. Good work, but definitely do some more testing.

It seemed the Deep Accuracy had a much more positive effect than Short or Medium Accuracy. The results tend to show that it DOES matter.

but 1 simmed season with the attribute raised isn't a large enough sample size to definitively state that.

I'm on board with the others in voicing concerns that 1 simmed season is not enough to draw any sort of conclusions. While there are some that appear to definitely have an effect (with elusiveness far and away having the most BTKs) others are way too close to call (some of those QB stats are awfully similar with barely a TD and a few yards difference) or could just be potential outliers

Some encouraging #s, but 1 simmed season per attribute isn't enough to base a decision.

You also have to factor in many other issues. You stated everyone on the team was edited to 80s, but the opponents weren't. You also have to factor in schemes, playbooks, player traits, etc.

very good thread would be nice if the community could help with this I am curious. Because sometimes my players don't perform how I feel they should when they are in position, and I'm not sure if its me or the gameplay.

Sometimes a little homework saves time and avoids confusion.

You need many, many, many more trials before making any conclusions.

The statement you quoted does not mean that throwing accuracy is the only thing that matters in simulation. Deep accuracy can still matter in simulation

But it doesn't. There have been many statements about this over the past few years. This is just one. Find them yourself if you're interested.

Completely agree. They've definitely confirmed short, medium and deep accuracy don't apply in simmed games. But THA isn't available to upgrade with XP. Could be that increasing deep accuracy has the biggest effect on THA.
