JDB, please do something about the rate of turnovers in this new code 4.5... I am seeing 8-12 turnovers a game total whether it be by fumbles or INTs. That’s kinda unrealistic in my opinion.

My league has had QBs throw nine interceptions. Yeah, it's happened before IRL (or was it eight?), but multiple guys, in the same season? Sure, they're trash players, but still..

Well that's just it. A propensity for throwing interceptions is going to be tied to the talent, or lack thereof, of the players. What's unrealistic is that a professional team would be playing someone that level of ability - not their rate of turnover.

This is an incorrect assessment. I have had QBs who have 100 passing accuracy, a good passing arm and high intelligence and even they have had games where 7 INTs were thrown. Sorry, but 7-10 INTs a game is pretty unrealistic, even if the QBs in the game were terrible ones.

I'd agree with that - the QB would be benched.

The all-time record is "only" 8 by Jim Hardy. Who?

After having seen one team stumble through a season in 0.4.5, I was left thinking, "Is there a way to run an option offense like the 70's Cornhuskers?" Why throw the ball when the chance of something bad happening is so high?

If Nate peterman could just make it a full game he could easily throw 11 picks.
