Deep passing- what gives?

[Sturzinator]

It seems no matter who the QB or what kind if separation your WR has, every damn deep ball is thrown short and results in a jump ball scenario at best (usually with the DB winning). It is beginning to annoy me.


I think the lat time I was able to hit a deep ball to a WR in stride was in the demo. I realize this should be difficult to pull off, it would just be nice to have a little realism sprinkled in now and again. Hell, at this point I would settle just to see an overthrown incompletion.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Definitely. I'm still playing with the sliders to find the right balance. I think a lot of it has to do with the QB accuracy, as I see a ton of balls thrown behind the receiver, even on short routes. I don't want to make my QBs perfectly accurate, but, but I don't like that receivers have to catch the ball on their back shoulder 90% of the time either.

On a side note, will we ever be able to throw a realistic goal line fade?

Ya, it requires a certain touch.

Some can execute it flawlessly w anybody..

Please enlighten me regarding the secrets to this "touch"!

You're referring to your QB or the CPU QB? If you're only referring to the user
QB I'll have to agree with the poster after you who stated that it requires a certain touch. It cant be explained man, its just a certain timing on the button press, I cant really explain to you how much pressure you're using on your buttons. On the other hand, I see this problem, but only with the CPU QB. I'm currently trying to get that right.

it's all about timing. chances are you are just throwing it too late. try to throw at as soon as your receiver beats his man or when the button lights up. and play around with the strength of the pass depending on the QB/length of throw. If the ball is in the air too long and the DB is catching up to the WR, try throwing a harder pass.

Your QBs DAC, and THP are in play here. Not sure how good those stats are, but they couldn't point to part of the problem.

Also, the other posters are correct - it requires a certain level of "just the right touch". Hold the THROW button too long, and have the ball line-drive short. Too quickly - and the ball is errantly lofty and picked off. Once you get it, it's just muscle memory. And of course you need to to use the thumb stick to the make it deeper to throw the receiver open.
