    WTF RTG!

    I was playing RTG mode and this happened. I was a Pocket Passer QB and everything was ok until about week 5 in High School. I then noticed that my passes didn't travel as far. Waited until after I had signed before looking at my attributes. My THP had dropped to 48! Has this happened to anyone else, or does anyone know why this happened?

    Yeah, sometimes "Pocket Passer" QB's in RTG start out with 48 THP. "Balanced" and "Scrambling" QB's will have higher THP for some reason.

    When I made a "Pocket Passer" QB, he had 48 Throw Power, 90 Throw Accuracy, and 85 Speed.

      Looks like your RTG QB Coach is Chad Pennington.

          This happens way more often than you would think. I've had possession receivers with 90+ speed, power backs with speed back attributes, and the icing on the cake, an option quarterback with 92 throw power and 91 speed. His full attributes gave him 92 overall his freshman year at Texas and he won the heisman 3 out of 4 years. The one he lost he was injured for 4 weeks.

          RTG bases your player more on your on field performance than your style. If you pick a power back but make him juke and spin like a speed back he will eventually be a hybrid of the two and boom perfect running back. RTG is too easy to abuse, especially with a full high school season to play through.

          Your best bet to make a pure pocket passer is to audible out of run plays and throw it constantly, which you would do anyway if your high school had a college ready QB.

            That's umm... weird. I would imagine that it's a big time glitch.

              You'd be correct. It's among the mountain of issues inhabiting the 50+ page bug thread.

                Smh. I'm surely hoping that EA fixes most (if not all) the bugs in this new patch they plan to release on September 7th!

                  Perhaps related to the tendencies glitch?

                    Maybe. It may even have something to do with whether or not you're an Ironman athlete, and your chosen secondary position. It's inconsistent, so it's hard to diagnose the cause.

                    But this bug affects more than QB's. I've seen weird inconsistencies with RB's too. Haven't tried any other position in RTG this year, so I don't know if other positions are also affected.

                      I think it probably might be it.
                      I remember selecting Balanced RB and once I got to college I was a Power RB. I know I didnt pick Power because I wanted to have a blend of speed and power. I wonder why I couldnt out-run anyone, then I realised that I had 85 SPeed
