Is pass quality the same as pass accuracy?

Curious myself

I doubt we’ll ever hear from Bort but I like this explanation

Pass Quality = how “clean” the throw is.
It affects:

• Spiral tightness
• How much the ball wobbles
• How much the pass is penalized by pressure
• How much distance penalties affect the throw
• How catchable the ball is for the WR


PQ is influenced by:

• Tight Spiral AEQ (flat PQ bonus)
• PQ% AEQ pieces
• Pocket Presence (reduces PQ loss under pressure)
• Pass Distance % (because long throws have PQ penalties)


PQ is the most important stat for a Pocket QB according to high‑level builders (they recommend 25%+ PQ minimum) Goal Line Blitz.

What Pass Accuracy (PA) does

Pass Accuracy = how close the ball lands to the intended target point.

It affects:

• How far off‑target the ball is
• Whether the ball is thrown behind, too high, too low, or too wide
• The WR’s ability to adjust to the ball


Accuracy determines placement, not quality.

The key difference

Attribute What it affects Analogy
Pass Quality Throw mechanics, wobble, pressure effects, catchability “How well the QB throws the ball”
Pass Accuracy Targeting and ball placement “Where the ball actually goes”


They work together, but they are not interchangeable.

Thank you for the break down. Helps a lot. Should of asked before I rolled over some AEQ

good explanation

I guess my question is what SA's or bonus actually affects accuracy if I start building my AEQ out?

all QB AE (except maybe if you believe in Field General) should be either PQ% or PD%

fill in the rest of the SA's you want with SP

I don’t think accuracy is affected by any SAs. So pass accuracy bonus and high throwing and vision. I’d dare say confidence or anything that boosts confidence in the pocket as that I think is affected when facing pressure. But I’m just thinking off the top of the dome. Idk how right I am

Okay this was my assumption as well. I'm following a guide, and it lists pass accuracy for AEQ, but my assumption was pass accuracy = PQ%

it seems to me that being hurried affects accuracy, so pocket presence should help accuracy under pressure
