I doubt fewer interceptions would result in much of a change, at least to the overall completion %. So long as it didn't result in a lot more completed long passes anyhow. What I would encourage is a boost to pass quality based on the distance of the pass. Higher pass quality would result in lower number of interceptions.
But it gives the offense another edge, and that's what I want avoided.

Scaling the INT's into more deflections makes no sense because the only reason people are getting so many more INT's is Catching and INT% which neither have anything whatsoever to do with deflecting the ball.
I thought deflections were part of the INT chance. As in you have to pass a deflection chance first. So just scale down catching/INT scores just slightly, so instead of having the top WL dots in the INT category all being in double-digits, maybe only a few are. Basically just a very, very small scale back so that if you get 14 in a season, instead you'd get 10-11.
But like I said, if it stays as it is with INTs, I'm ok with it simply because D gets nerfed everywhere else.
