Bottom line is it's not fun. From a business model perspective, you have a serious issue in the community that is driving agents away. To the casual gamer it's not fun to login and watch your defense guy constantly trying to shut the thing down. A QB Rolling out is a tricky play in the world of football. We've got more of a game of rugby right now.
And passing being strong I sorta..agree with. However when you get 3 tries to complete 1 10-yard pass you've got a broken meta. Quick Read is too good, WR's are too fast down field. I think route tech needs to be nerfed heavily by at least 25%, I think cornerback & pass coverage needs to be heavily repaired including the back peddling, shortening loss penalties from an elusive check, increasing deflection range and reducing receive awareness range.
When WR's can toss 90-100 sprinting on and still go out and play flank drag through the middle, or slant through safety zones and not care, we got issues. The balance between burner WR's and middle guys/TE's are blurred. If you need to go out and get 5 yards for a first, down, you can just throw a medium or long pass for 15 instead. They need to bring back the security of throwing short to a well built receiver in the middle, and gambling a long pass to an outside WR.
Yup. If you have a QB who is completely a lousy 33% of his passes, as long as those passes are 10+ yards, you win.
Given that good QB's regularly complete 60%+ of their passes....
