Left-handed QBs

And while you can flip plays, it just seems easier to keep it to right handed QBs for me.

Ah ok, i know exactly what youre talking about. Lefty QB's are a bit strange to use, though using them in certain plays would work good....plays designed to roll left for instance.

Absolutely, though I think my 15 years of Madden gaming and rolling out to the right has rendered me useless rolling out to the left. LOL!

I only do it when I'm in panic mode and not really thinking about it.

Madden has generally always been a "right handed" game imo. Its been that way as far back as i can remember.

I never noticed...

I couldn't tell you if Josh Johnson is left or right handed - I only know Flacco's right handed because of real life and the difference in the two isn't just throwing hand.

Is Pat White left-handed? I had him before and never noticed a difference and I will move out of the pocket on rolls or if need be. I just run away from the rush - where ever there's room

I prefer using the lefties but I find I like to flip the plays so my #1 route is on the left. Just feels more comfortable that way

I just found that you can see the 'handedness' when you check 'edit player'. I am surprised I didn't notice it sooner. At least it covers free agency. The annoy thing is that it is grayed out so you can't change it. Still no resolution on the draft.

I wish there were a way to know before you draft them...I used to love using left handed passers (I had to use Steve Young for years), and was wanting to draft a young left handed guy and see if it was still fun.

From the sounds of things (and the general lack of conversation on the actual topic...seriously, 3 pages of discussion about rolling out with a lefty?) it doesn't appear that it's possible at this stage.

well thats the only real difference between left and right handed qb on the game lol
