High completion% Patched?

[haloofduty]

I dont know if anyone noticed this but in franchise the majority of QBs have a high completion%. There are always about 5 that throw for 70% and there is never a QB under 60%. Its always middle and high 60s. My rookie threw for 71%. I simmed about 8 seasons to see if this was a problem every season and it was. It affects QB rating. Check it out sim a couple seasons and monitor completion%. I submitted the problem in the complaints thread before the patch but dont know if the patch will correct it. Does anyone know if they mentioned a fix for this? Its so unrealistic.

Nope. No mention of this being fixed in the patch. It is frustrating though. The YPC is too low for receivers also, but the comp% thing is more glaring.

Is there a rating that can be edited that will change the completion percentage issue?

I would THINK awareness and accuracy would change that....just not sure what % a person should change each, though. I would think 7-10 each???

This isnt that unrealistic if you look at actual NFL completion percentages.

Not unrealistic?? LOL
What are you smoking? The single-season record is 72%, and a ton of guys every year throw in the 50's. A QB is labeled as being efficient if he throws 60% or higher. McNabb has had his in the 50's for the majority of his career, so it doesn't mean a guy can't be successful. That being said, that's why McNabb has such a low TH ACC rating in Madden and is often labeled as being inaccurate by commentators.

In Madden, it seems to break down this way:

Throwing Power = Yards
Throwing Accuracy = Completion %
Awareness = Interceptions

Guys like Tony Romo have low awareness because they throw a lot of pics. Romo also has a very high accuracy rating because his comp. % has been in the mid-60's which is excellent. Look at Kurt Warner's completion percentage when he was with the Rams: high 60's. Completion percentage is usually the hallmark of a good QB. Brett Favre, for example, usually throws in the 60's as well which gives him an accuracy rating in the 90's, but has an awareness in the mid 80's because of his propensity to throw picks.

So basically, there is should RARELY (if ever) be guys throwing in the 70's. Elite QB's are usually in the mid/high 60's with everybody else under that mark.
