I don't think i've had a game yet on All-American where i haven't thrown atleast 1. I'm always like 15-17 and one of the incompletions are a INT. They come off of player sliding over and jumping the route in the most unrealistic way. I lowered the INT slider down and it didn't change anything, if your pass isn't to a wide open receiver then you got like a 60% chance of it being picked off. One of the only things frustrating me this year.

Re: INT's are too much.
I had this same problem for my first few games. I had to adjust how I approached the passing game. I'm also playing on All-American, with default sliders. Throws that worked in the past may not, and throws that didn't work in the past do. if a DB is covering the flat and your WR runs an out route, you can throw the ball to that WR and the flats DB won't make a magical play on the ball.
One thing to consider is start throwing your WRs open. If your WR is running an in route, and the safety is on top of him, you can pull down on the stick and throw the ball to lead him back towards the line of scrimmage as he comes across. That will help him maintain body position. This works on posts, flags, etc. You can flatten out corner routes, lengthen them, etc. Try leading your WR inside the field on a go route when you have man coverage and the safety has left the center wide open.
Your pre-snap reads need to be keen as well. You need to take note of where the safeties are, where the blitz might come from, and any possible mismatches in alignment.
Lastly, start thinking about the routes you run. Stop running slants all day long. The CPU is going to adjust to what you're doing. If you run curls all day long, the CPU is going to start jumping those routes. Try running an out route or a go route and see how the DB reacts.
Once I adjusted how I threw the ball, I started to see routes open up that weren't open in NCAA 12. I went from throwing 4+ picks a game to solid passing numbers. Of course, your QB and WRs play a part in all this. If you WRs can't run routes, they won't fool the DBs. -
Re: INT's are too much.
Oh, and one more piece to add: it's time for people to start actually throw the ball away. The days of stone-handed DBs seems to be disappearing. In every game I play, if I throw a bad pass, and the DB gets two hands on the ball, it's a pick. Better to throw it away and punt.Comment

My opinion is different. I think its finally realistic in comparison to previous games where the defense seemed to be stupid. But that's just me.Comment

Re: INT's are too much.
How can their be too many INTs where everyone is saying its too easy to throw TDs all the time.....hmmmm.Comment

Re: INT's are too much.
Threshold affects "psychic" DBs and sliding, so try lowering your threshold.
That, and throw the ball away.Comment

Re: INT's are too much.
I want realism yes, but the receiver having to be wide open or else the DB will pick it off isn't realism. The WR never seems to overpower the DB's. A 90+ WR vs. a 79 DB and yet the DB wins all day long?Comment

Re: INT's are too much.
Am I the only one who noticed the OP say he always goes "15-17" passing? Not really one for realism are we?Comment

I just played a game in my dynasty on Heisman. I am Vanderbilt and I was playing against South Carolina. We went into 6OTs and I did not throw a single pick. This game is great for passing. It is balanced on both sides of the ball. In case you didn't know ...

Hold until winding through for a combo to fit the ball in tight places.
Hold all the way through for a bullet.
Also, always remember that you can point your left stick in the direction you want the ball thrown to.
Lastly.. don't throw unless you are confident.Comment

Re: INT's are too much.
You've really got to change your approach offensively in this years game. It is a different all around experience. Better in some ways, worse in others but absolutely different and it will change what most of us have been doing for years.
Ratings really do matter for the quarterback position this year. Your receivers may be open but that doesn't guarantee your QB is going to lay it on them every year like years past. If you've got a mediocre QB, you've got to pay attention to your footwork because if you're even slightly throwing the ball on the run or while drifting off your back foot, it will lead to some god awful throws. A big part of my passing game with Nebraska is roll outs and sprint outs and play action reads and Martinez is about as wild as it gets, which is pretty accurate if you ask me. If forces me to really focus on getting him set up in the passing game.
You've got to change how you throw. Last year you had to wait for your guy to clear the defense and come open, if you're waiting for that this year, you're throwing it way too late. You've got to force some throws and you've got to keep the ball in your pocket or dump it off on others. Timing is pretty key. Also remember that there are some really sloppy route designs in this game which can lead to defenders to making up ground where they otherwise shouldn't.
You'll throw some picks, you've got to be more precise.Comment
