Well, I do want to keep passing to the running backs. They are great check downs, but just not so datum much ;)

Right, IRL he's the safety valve if nobody else is open. But in 0.4.4, he's the primary, regardless of what the play says, until the engine is fixed.

There will still be a lot RB passing in 0.4.5, but it's getting better. That said, there is a lot of RB passing IRL. There were 5 RBs in the top 25 in receptions last year and 7 in the top 50. They were all from different teams. That means that 25% of the league had an RB in the top 50 receptions.

The problem with 4.4 and it will still be a problem with 4.5 is that the QB doesn't see open deep routes soon enough to matter and WRs still drop too many open deep passes.

Then don't release 4.5 until it's fixed.


But it fixes the other problems.

Trust me, I'm not happy about that point, but I'd rather have 4.5 released and continue working on why long routes aren't getting treated correctly in 4.6. I'm tired of not being able to use a full playbook because of the 4.4 problems. At least, right now, you can throw slant routes and have long passes in your book without getting sacked.

Two games into the preseason and this is the stats of my rookie QB (50 OVR, 62 potential)



I pray he'll throw it to a RB 60 times per game. :D

Both QBs have <50 accuracy. They will never complete a single pass.
I figured. I'm seeing how much points it's possible to make based on defense, kicking and a bit of rushing. Checkdown passes to the RB should be within reasonable hopes though. Maybe not. :-)

Accuracy is not parabolic, so sub 50 accuracy is closer to 0 than it is 50.

Yeah, I see that now in the release announcement. At this point I'm for anything that makes it better.

4.5 is an improvement, but it's a half-step, not a full one.
