My passing game ****

By OmahaNYG

I was going to leave MFN, because those past months I was losing interest to play the game, I didn't had fun to play it again and now we are in spring and sunny days are back, I didn't want to spend time in this game anymore, but SARS 2 and quarantine made me stay a little bit, despite the fact that I don't have as much fun to play this game as I used to have.

So I am here to try to resolve a problem that was really boring, frustrating and is one of the reason why I have lost interest to the game, my passing game sucks.

I can try what ever I want, I have made gameplanning changes, result is the same, it doesn't work well.
I have tried two different QBs, both aren't great but they made the same mistakes, stupid throws, a lot of incompletions, and I prefer to don't talk about interceptions.
And the fact that there is too many drops with this game engine doesn't help.

So I don't know what do to, it's like I have tried everything, and at the end only few plays work...

And I will not talk about an other problem, the coach that have a weird way to respect the gameplan. With the same gameplan I can have a game with 80% of pass, and an other game with an almost balanced offense, but this is an other problem that I can deal with...

More important than that, I am wondering if the real problem with my offense, and my passing game isn't this...



I literally have no familiarity with most of defensive plays, so I am wondering if the problem is not from the game, as every gameplanning changes I have made had no effect...

What can I do ? Actually I was thinking about trade for a 1st round pick to draft a QB, but if the game is the problem, it will be a waste a so I should forget the QB, I'm completely lost and I don't know what to do because I don't understand how the game works now...

Try your new QB Scott. He's nearly perfect in Pass Accurancy. Personally I select unfamiliar plays in preseason to train them.

The passing game has been limited to short and medium passing for the most part. I've limited my long passing to 1 play used sparingly.

Change your run/pass ratios to something like:

Inside run 20%
Outside run 20%
Short pass 30%
Medium pass 25%
Long pass 5%

Also limit you offensive plays selected to 25 to 30. There simply arent 40 plays worth selecting in this version.

Once you elimate long passing and trim plays selected....drives will stall less from negative plays and passing numbers will increase.

The game has been changed to force long drives to success with an occasional long play thrown in from short passing plays where a tackle is broken or blown coverage.

Experiment with plays until you find what works....if a play averages less than 3 yards per attempt....trash it. The trick is getting enough of a sample size to learn what works consistently....the more games you use as the reference the better but that has to take into account major position changes like QB, RB and WR.

Hope this helps....good luck
