I suppose it all depends on playstyle. If all you call are easy 5 yard shots and checkdowns, slants and curls, then yes you'll rarely miss, the same way a real life QB would rarely miss those. Personally, my playstyle is about spreading the field and taking a ton of deepshots and 50/50 balls. I'm run heavy, and when I pass, it's rarely for less than 15 yards and on a well covered WR. It keeps me honest, and I rarely finish a game above 65%. In contrast to this, I have INTs set way down so there's more "bats" and incompletions instead of straight INTs, since INTs are rarely thrown in college anyway, usually only 1 every other game. I suppose this could be up to the player, whether you want more batted passes for realism, or more INTs simply to be challenged into more safe throws for completions.
Depending on the way you utilize a playbook, I suppose the 5 or 10 is up to the player as well, and not a hard set rule, (the same way slider sets from one year to the next get outdated until year 4 onwards in dynasty, because of the new recruits coming in and changing gameplay in contrast to the roster defaults.) 10 works perfectly for the way I pass, whereas 5 makes me feel like my playbook is heavily restricted to just a few types of passes if you want any sort of success.
You said yourself, your highly rated QB puts up ugly numbers on 5. So which is more realistic? Doing well with a high rated QB playing to its rating, or playing poorly with a high rated QB because the game locks you into a terrible accuracy threshold until you turn yellow?
It's been a minute since I've played as these are from September, but this was the latest set I was still tweaking here and there, so it's not fully finished, but close.

INTs are LOW, wow. I used to have them on 30, jacked it up because I found that on anything lower than 50, the game was terrible at playing the deep ball, resulting in that crap where the DB overruns the deep ball by 15 yards and it's a cheap 40 yards instead of a 50/50 fight. That's what's stopping me from turning down INTs, that the slider seems to be tied to general DB awareness and not just catching picks.
I'm also not as run heavy. I've thrown 39 times a game this year, currently 196/351 (56%), 2405 yards, 12 TD, 16 INT through 9 games. 12.2 YPC. That is a lot, I normally would throw 25-30 times a game but I've been wanting to test the passing game out, because I've nailed down what I want from the run game. Terrible numbers (although if his INTs were at 6-8 I wouldn't be too unhappy), but I've played better with worse QBs. I've had a guy with mid 80s for THP/THA complete 65% over his final 2 seasons (ton of picks though), had a QB complete a solid 59% with 82 THA (again, 18 picks that year in 13 games). I kind of like the storyline that this guy is just terrible, and I did land a 3 star home state gem coming in at a 77 OVR as of right now.
I take shots downfield, it's not that I don't, but I've always favored mostly fast receivers who run good routes with a big possession guy or two, so I like to throw a lot of slants, drags, digs. Another issue is that recievers simply don't drop the ball enough. Guys get absolutely hammered right as they're catching it and hang on far too often.
I'll try your set. Quit out of a game at 0-9 MTSU (I played #5 Miami about 6 times, probably gonna play this one quite a few times as well) at the half earlier because I was 10/12, with 1 of the incompletions being a pick, and their 78 rated QB was something like 13/17. Last thing with 5 - it's possible for your QB to be snapped out of his hot streak, I've thrown bad balls even with a red circle.
I really want to nail this issue down haha, couldn't give up NCAA. Worst case, I'll go back to the set listed in the OP and keep working on going through my progressions.
