User QB Awareness Rating

[charter04]

I've heard so many theories on this but, does anyone know for sure if the Awareness rating matters for a QB if you control him?

I used to be sure it didn't but, I have Ryan Mallett as my QB in the CFM I'm in and I'm starting to wonder.

I have his short and Med accuracy up to 93. His deep at 87. His THP is 99. His consistency is maxed. I left his awareness alone because I thought it didn't matter. It's at 55. Despite his accuracy ratings he is still very inaccurate way to much. Is this because of AWR?

Any feedback would be awesome.

I was told by a DEV on Twitter that it didn't matter. Maybe EA doesn't know? Lol

My understanding from previous conversations on this forum is that the AWR rating does not affect _any_ user-controlled player. Not just user-controlled quarterbacks.

What difficulty base sliders? Even with good stats, at 99 Power you often have to take some off otherwise you will overthrow often. Idk though.

We use modified AM ones in our league. I've thought
that really high TP might be a part of the issue

Re: User QB Awareness Rating

My belief is that there is an underlying formula which takes into account your QB's accuracy/AWR stats, as well as the receiver's catch/RTE/RLS stats. I believe these factor into the occurrences where you user throw a pass, and the ball hits your receiver right in the hands when there are no defenders around him and he straight drops it.

And no, it's not the Drops Open Passes trait. Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerald can suddenly have this problem crop up if you have a sucky, inaccurate QB like Tebow.

What if they are on a cold streak? Dropping open passes is a common digression a cold WR has

The passes I'm talking about are times when he throws it 5 feet over a receivers head or 10 yards behind. I know sliders play a part but I don't see the same things as much with other QB's that have lower acc ratings. Awr is the only stone I have left unturned

Re: User QB Awareness Rating

Yeah, I think low AWR is a component in some wild, erratic passes.

I usually don't upgrade my QB's AWR during season before I sign them to the first contract that I personally sign them to myself.

So I'm used to dealing with QBs with horrid AWR. Sometimes they just make head scratching throws which aren't even close to where you aimed with the touch pass system.

Doesn't have any effect on HUman controlled QB's at all....

That's why the vision cone was the best in game qb simulation Madden has ever had for human controlled QB's.

Awareness is strictly tied into CPU QB play....

Only the Slider setting effects Human qb's on the field.

Oh, Awareness...the most vague slider category ever created. Has caused pain and suffering for so many OS slider makers.
