Test Request:

We're trying to find out if "thrown low" happens so often to be considered a bug. We've already had testing support the catch percentage for HB throws - this one is a little different. See Catch's comments below for testing parameters:

Screen passes to scat back/elusive back with 70 catching, QB with base test server build
5 games with slider at -100
5 games with slider at -50
5 games with slider at 0
5 games with slider at 50
5 games with slider at 100

Record # of screen passes thrown and # of thrown low's and calculate % of thrown lows for each slider setting. I'm going to guess that the slider setting will have a pretty large impact on this - if it doesn't, then I'll be happy to allow it to be filed as a bug and looked at.

Test Results
-100 games - 0.45% of passes attempted were thrown low with 88.07% completion rate
-50 games - 37.58% of passes attempted were thrown low with 77.45% completion rate
0 games - 53.29% of passes attempted were thrown low with 69.20% completion rate
50 games - 59.59% of passes attempted were thrown low with 70.49% completion rate
100 games - 45.65% of the passes attempted were thrown low with 64.75%completion rate

Tester (fnordish) summary: With out a design doc, I have to go with personal opinion for a summary comment. The rates are too high on anything but the bullet setting. At 100 loft, I think the passes are getting bad enough some of them don't even show as thrown low. If all of those percentages were 20 points lower(ignoring -100) I would still feel it happened too much, but it wouldn't look crazy to me anymore.

Bugs Coordinator (lhouse) summary: Between 100 and 172 attempts per game is good enough for me to call this data representative of the population. The relationship between thrown low percentage and the slider setting isn't linear, and isn't what I would have expected to see. I think this is enough evidence to ask Bort to look at it as a bug. These percentages seem very high for the normal QB builds used in the test.
