The INT problem is a result of several factors. Lowering Catch helps, but part of the problem is that the game's been programmed to cheat in the QB Accuracy department. One cheat involves the QB, suddenly and for no apparent reason, throwing directly into the open arms of D players, with no receiver in the vicinity. Whoever programmed “graduated ratings effectiveness” and “random performance” into the game didn’t have the time to do it properly.

Ratings like QB Accuracy, Pass Read, Composure and Consistency all determine how accurate the QB’s throw is, which determines how many balls will be picked off. And depending on the particular rating, they can all be bumped up. Unfortunately, 40 Accuracy is about the same as 60 or even 70 Accuracy, so you have to bump certain ratings way up and into the 90’s before you start seeing “a QB who throws the ball and just misses his receiver because he’s not a great QB”. Right now, what happens is this: the QB throws the ball right into the DB’s open arms... INT! Now that’s because the QB’s ratings say he’s not a great QB, the game engine reads that info, and then makes sure the ball heads ten yards off the mark and towards some D player.
