Anybody use the SA Quick Hitter? The buffs and activation % are great but how many routes actually go less than 6 yards? I have it on my QB and it doesn't seem to fire on all those short hook and curl routes. Do those routes go further than 6 yards? The play art makes it look like 6 yards or less.

Most bread and butter passing plays hit receivers around the 9-10 yard mark from the LOS. You could theoretically design an offense that focuses on shorter routes to take advantage of quick hitter but the issue there would be losing its effectiveness and gambling on picking up first downs. It could work with the right set up though.

I think you would have to have a balanced offense to use Quick Hitter. Pure passing offense rely on 1 out of 3 first downs. It's why they mostly target those 9-10 yardage plays

great for offenses that use screens, otherwise it's worthless

Makes screens much more effective... slower passes give WR a chance to catch the ball without having to diveto get to it in time, and increased pass tech lowers chances of a drop

The fact that it doesn't work on 3rd (or 4th) downs just kills it for me though. The down you are most likely to have a "short" amount of yardage to pick up is the one it has zero chance of firing, why?

exactly why putting just one SA into it for bronze is enough... it triggers a bunch at bronze anyway if you use screens

Silver and gold works on every down.

And my team is balaced/lean run heavy so I want short passes. I just need to find which routes make it fire.

Most of the short passes are not all that great. It'll help when the QB throws to the HB or FB in flat occasionally.

Double wheel, hooks and FL Hitch are good. Not sure if it fires on them though.

Well, damn, you're right, hadn't noticed that it changed like that when it went from bronze to silver. That moves it from the "not a chance" category to the "eh, maybe" category of SAs for me.

Yeah that's a huge difference.

I think they should increase its range to 10 yards. Then it would be a solid choice
