Warrior General Games

What skill does a QB need to have maxed out in order to pass the ball as quickly as possible? I used to think that was pass awareness but my QB still seems like he holds onto the ball too long. I want a QB who gets the snap and fires the pass off quickly.

Im far from an expert. But id suggest maybe having pocket aware at a good level. Seems it would help him sense the blitz and maybe he would check down faster as it where

I am an expert.

High pass awareness + Gold Quick Release.

Gold Quick Release.

That would explain why your wheels fell off.

A big part of it is play selection and the routes being run. Certain routes will never get thrown to quickly.

Open his build and we can help more. But the most pertinent post in this thread is...

Make sure you have down field routes especially on third down. The QB won't throw the ball if receivers aren't on or past the 1st down marker on 3rd down.

There's no Quick Release skill. That's for their next game, Pro cycling simulator.

Quick Read is the QB skill.

Yeah...he meant Quick Read.

Underrated post. Well-done, sir.

First, play selection matters.
Second, you need WRs that fire off the LOS and get to the route hot spot fast. This is why #1 matters. Gold First Step on WRs is almost a requirement.
Third, Pocket Awareness will help your QB avoid pressure and Pass Consistency will help once pressured.

Belgarath to Belgarion was the most effective Pass Combo yet. Belgarath had 30 Pass Awareness and Belgarion had 42 Rec Awareness - some of their lowest skills.

Thanks everyone. I had no idea pocket awareness was so important. This was my first attempt at a QB. I think I did ok but I'm open to further insights on how to make my next QB even better.

The other advantage to pocket awareness is that it powers the On the Run ability, which is one of the few useful QB SAs.
