Lot of different views on throwing power. How important is it? Is it needed on deep throws? What about quick slants? Has anybody ever maxed it out?

I think most dont go past 40.

most people say it is a detriment after a certain level - hard throws with lower trajectories equal more deflected passes. My perception is that is true -- but I've never studied the data or anything (and how would we?)

And there is that obnoxious weak long throw behind the WR, the CB keeps running foward and doesn't react, then the WR catches uncontested, but i with throwing power were more important, its absurd that no one has to get 40+ and can throw long passes, also the velocity with this low of a skill should be so bad that the CB would be able to react the majority of the plays.

I'm in the "no one really knows" category.

It certainly seems like it's a detriment on really long passes as you want the WR to come back and the CB to overrun the play.

On short passes it might help but that's speculation too.

I know s*'s get it to 60 sometimes... I'd have found it interesting ona vet team like ann arbor for instance, who threw a lot of deep bombs, but most of the time the d-line get pressure on to stop a 40+ yard pass... like ive never seen a true hail mary completion here

I like it around 50 and going up to 60 if there are enough high speed WRs on the team... going 60 strength helped the 100 speed WR but hampered the ones below 85 speed.

Honestly you are better off hitting the 100 speed WR's underneath as they can then do something with the ball afterwards much more often than they do when you hit them deep over coverage.

I haven't used a high power throwing QB in a number of seasons but when I had USCtrojans high power QB I had to throw underneath a lot because on deep throws he would throw a lot of interceptions. Likely due to the low trajectory of the bullet pass.

There is also that "bug" that the pass is a perfect long bomb and the WR just steps back for no reason, so these 2 things makes pass power bad.

I hate to tell you guys but high power QBs would probably kill a zone defense. Hit those open windows with a bullet pass. I love those wussy QB lobs over the middle to WRs who get destroyed by my LBs.

One thing I surely don't doubt. However the fact that it is so often detrimental against man defense means that there needs to be a more viable reason to take it.

Well 80% of defense plays are man, so waste a lot of SPs to be better against your defense GE isn't that worht lul, and there is always pump fake.

OK...don't say I didn't warn ya

1 ball knocked loose and Pass Power was VERY low. Bit of luck? Maybe. Only 3 KL in our first matchup, though. I guess the question becomes, how many of GE's knocked loose happen against CPU or lower tier teams?

To be fair they had a ton against us, and our rec grip isn't that low.

PDs and ints are also related to low power
