Throwing accuracy will always increase as well as awareness if you QB is having a good season. But like I said if your simming games go with the QB with higher awareness Cromptons is to low to ever increase enough via simming to be worth starting.

Actually, I beg to differ on the QB AWR asseveration...

USER QB AWR determines how "smart" the CPU is when defending...

Low AWR QBs face a tougher / smarter D than a high AWR QB...

It's easy to test...

Take a team like the Pats or Packers, set up to play with the starter, then switch to the backup and observe...

More guys open / wider throw windows...

Anyway:

Played with Crompton for 3 seasons and I have to say, he's my ideal QB...

Low AWR (challenge) and a rocket arm (96 THP?)...

Throws on the run well and runs out of a rollout nicely...

Since he's a "C" potential, he doesn't really progress...so that's a plus to me as well...

As you get better at the game, using him, learning the plays that work best, etc...the results get better due to USER skill, as opposed to jacked progression...

Best part?

Crompton has no career stats, so any stats you accumulate using him are "your" stats...

Haven't enjoyed a rookie / journeyman QB this much in Madden since P. Ramsey was drafted into the Spurrier era 'Skins...
