It might not work, but I want to see if we can get this fixed now instead of waiting for it to blow up into a monumental problem spammed all over the boards here. Lowering Accuracy wont solve this problem, but like I said, maybe cutting their awareness will allow for more sacks and less "Robo QB" moments, worth a shot.
That would work except there's no CPU QB Awareness slider to adjust...or any other CPU slider for that matter

Ya but here's the thing. Why have a QB awereness slider? The human is taking the place as the QB so it's really his awareness. What does that slider to only affect the QB if the human is playing another position.

I find it a strange slider.

Maybe he was referring to editing each QB's individual awareness rating, not the slider. Pimping never mentioned "slider" in his post. Just throwing that out there.

I believe Pimping was talking about lowering the QB's awareness rating, not a non-existent slider.

Thats exactly what I was talking about, not a slider since Im fully aware there are no CPU sliders currently in the game (although I thought I heard they were going to patch this and put them back in there for those that requested it). I could be way off and this doesnt work at all but I figured if there awareness was lower then when they drop back and a blitz is coming they would be slower to read it, slower to throw it, might get sacked more often, and the end result would be a lower completion percentage as well as a lower amount of INT's thrown by the CPU. It could also help with sack totals for your team, if this is a problem that is. I would love to hear if anyone tries this what they see, it sounds logical in my head but that doesnt mean it will play out the same way in game.

In the past there was no QB Awareness slider, it was QB Accuracy slider. I always figured that your QB's awareness came into play when avoiding sacks automatically, meaning those times when the CPU grabs on to you and the CPU seemingly takes over your QB for a moment and shrugs him off. Maybe it plays into other things, but this is what I always thought.

Ah ok, I see what you mean now..if that works though, that means we'd have to go through and individually adjust each QB's AWR, as well as backups in case of injuries or ratings adjustments, drafted rookies, etc, and that would be a complete pain...unless I'm missing something else :P
