I think the one thing that is "tweaked" with QBs with lower accuracy is that the WRs simply don't catch as many balls as they should. There are so many instances where I've been playing and made the exact same throw to a highly rated WR only to have him drop it. Turn around and make the same throw with Tom Brady to some no-name WR and he catches everytime.

Feels like I've been defending EA all day ...

But I think that accuracy works as intended. I predominantly play as Romo, who is relatively accurate QB. He misses some throws, but I can complete most of them. But there is a marked difference when you go from playing a Romo to a Drew Brees/Aaron Rodgers. They still overshoot some throws, but they excel at putting the ball in tight spots near the sideline and over the shoulder (at times) so that the defender can't make a play.

My issue with accuracy is that inaccuracy is TOO drastic. Sometimes, you can't tell who the ball was intended for because it's so far off. I wish inaccuracy equated to balls being in near viscinity but uncatchable, or behind the receiver, or just out of the receivers reach.
