Trouble throwing the deep ball?

[crazygoalie39]

Every single time I try to through deep it throws it short of the receiver and is either intercepted or deflected. Anyone else having this problem?

Any time I try to lead a receiver, no matter how shallow the pass, my QB under throws the target.

Sometimes I have that problem but lately I have been setting up the deep pass with the play action. Then I can get a guy open downfield and not worry about that.

I can't complete a streak pass to save my life. Oh well I guess I rather have this problem then have the db glitch in the game.

i love that. Because in years past, streaks have been way to easy. having said that, you still can complete it against bump coverage with no help over the top. and you have to have a WR with good speed.

Yeah, I thought I was the only one, I went in practice mode to practice against a scrub team and scrub corners. And sure enough every time I tried to lead the receiver so the he can catch over the shoulder the qb would throw it short causing the deflection or interception a vast majority of the time regardless of the wr's speed.

This was an issue last year too if you waited too long to make the throw. Does it still happen if you throw the ball earlier?

I did this as well in practice. Completed 1 of 30 attempts.

The streak pass was overpowered so it is good it is not automatic. However, it shouldn't be impossible. I first noticed it when the CPU kept blitzing the safety leaving my best WR one-on-one. Threw three straight INTs. I could not overthrow the pass even for an incompletion no matter how hard I tried.

The streak has been overpowered for the past few games so its nice to it downgraded. I have had success throwing the deepball with Texas (on Heisman) but only when I have press coverage on Mike Davis with minimal to no help up top. Seems like you need the receivers that actually stretch the field to make it happen which I like.
