Coach mode question

[Playmakers]

Switch the Scrambling QB to Balanced tendency and he will still run just not all the time.

Thanx much for the answers. Here's my reply to #2.

I went into practice mode (I LOVE that you can do practice in coach mode) and tried some FGs. I was in the middle of the field on the 30 yd line (47 yd FGAs). I tried manually kicking it and aiming as far to the side as possible. If I were in control of the kicker these FGs should've been so wide that they would've gone out of bounds, but instead they split the uprights every time.

The obvious conclusion from that test is that I have no control at all over kicks (and almost certainly punts too, but I didn't bother to test those).

How do you do that? I know in game I can adjust his ratings (making him slower with a better arm) to make him balanced, but I really don't want to make my QBs slower.

Is there a field in the editor that can flag any QB as balanced?
IE. in game, a 99 SPD/ACC, 40 THP/THA will ALWAYS be a scrambler.
A 40 SPD/ACC, 99 THP/THA will ALWAYS be a pocket passer.
Using the editor, can I just set a flag that would make both of those QBs balanced?

EDIT:
I just read Art's Post after I replied

This blows. While researching this question in old OS posts I found someone that said "put[ting] the Intentional Grounding Slider (IGS) to 99 reduces scrambling." I ran some tests in practice coach mode where I selected a pass play and a defensive play and then ran the play 10 times with 99 IGS and then 10 times with 0 IGS. I did this for 3 plays against 3 defenses (30 plays for each IGS setting) and the QB scrambled the same # of times (+/- 1) each time so I'd conclude that the IGS has no affect.
