I think the pass awareness check goes earlier now for the defense too, seems to be more PDs and less cacthes. Passing in general has been less effective, not just with Ints.

Like with my Journeyman CB for example. Was good before....but 20 targets and only 3 receptions on him so far. http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/player/258316

He only has 3 PDs and 0 INTs though

Thank you GLB for making throwing power important again

Isn't that just another assumed statement... I don't believe that anybody knows whether or not pass power effects the rate of throwing INTs.

Of course it does. The higher the power, the less time the ball is in the air, and the less time for the defender to react and not get the "exponential" bonus to INTs.

Is it a failed power check on QB's arm with floofy pass and a def guy with good awareness maybe?... I know my guys who have high awareness are covering much better this season.

didn't look like a floofy pass, neither of them did. This is rookie, I doubt they are crushing it with insane awareness already

checks are firing like crazy, I feel like you can actually see them happening. PDs and INTs are up for sure.

Lol @ not a noodle arm pass in rookie. Dude's arm strength is probably like 12.

You have no player or anything to even drive that kind of belief. Thinking that something makes a difference just because it makes sense theoretically does not work here. If you are under that assumption, you should go ahead and make a high pass power and high pass awards (seeing the open receiver) QB and will never have to worry about picks again!

All those S* DBs and you could only muster 1 INT?

NO THEY HAVEN'T...you can just keep saying this, but it's not true, not at all

except through two weeks of play, the INTs aren't only up on long lofty passes, they are happening on every type of throw, and the power passes could make the ball easier for the underneath LBs to pick it off.

Did you not read the change? It explicitly stats as much.

His awareness & pass coverage skills are high so I don't think passes even come down to PDs as much(only had 17 last season despite 90 deflection). I usually see those more on defenders who aren't right by the receiver but close enough to swat away the pass. Ints are RNG so I'm sure that will go up.

I dunno most of my rookie guys are generally rocking pretty damn high awareness from the beginning.

Yeah... Long floaty passes. Do you remember the pure passing era when people were actually driving power and it seemed to HURT passing numbers possibly due to having a lower trajectory. Also, how many times have Devs said one thing but the change didn't effect player builds as suspected. If Bort had said buffed pass power it may have been one thing. You are trying to read tea leaves with no statistical back up.

he compared his vet coverage guys awareness to a rookie two games in. I'd be REALLY surprised if these rookie guys have over 40/50 in man awareOriginally posted by Galactic Empire

so every rookie pass is a high floater? Crazy....you are an idiot, it's just, so obvious
