If for some reason they deviate from this (get caught up in a defender) the QB still throws to where the reciever would have been if he had made the cut. Now in real life a QB is going to expect to throw the ball where the play was designed. But at the same time if something happens to the route the reciever is running a real QB can compensate. Seems like the AI here can't always do that.

That screen to the flat appears to overshoot the mark because it actually can’t be thrown any shorter, and has to travel 12-15 yards minimum.

I’ve seen that one with the receiver downfield many times. But at least the WR leaps for the ball and it sort of looks like an overthrow. Maybe it’s too much to expect the programming to know to adjust the throw – I just don’t get why they’d have to program the game that way in the first place. I don’t remember 2K4 being that way. Maybe it was?!
