All right, I believe the sack issue and pitch issue have been resolved. Let's see what happens in tonight's games!

BTW, an unintended side effect of working with the 'throwaway logic' is that, at least in my testing, QB scrambles seem to have increased. Curious if you notice the same.

I don’t think it was too bad. My QB did drop back and then run straight ahead into the line one time. Thought that was odd.

Thought this was a throwaway , but it is not in the verbage anywhere. Perhaps the TE bailed on the route. Are throw aways working ? I saw a slight uptick in qb runs and a severe decrease in knock downs, but that's it.

No pitches were fumbled in my game either but two looked not fluid at all.

There's a few new things I hadn't seen before with the QB in the pocket stuff that I really like.

But I ran across a couple of glitches.

(This would be great if used as a stop the clock play)

Almost on par with the last update pass wise. Pitches arent fumbling tho, but the RB stops when receiving the pitch. We were sacked 11 times and threw 3 dumb picks, including this beauty https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/watch/8850#1616643

Definitely not there yet imo.

I need to watch my game because there are a lot of weird stats. My QB threw it 11 times to my RB and was sacked 13 times. My opponent's QB ran 7 times. And the scoring was just strange.

It'll be interesting to dig into it.

I don't have time to watch an entire game right now. Here are some observations from the first two quarters:

1) https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/watch/8847#1616041
a) Bad pitch.

2) https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/watch/8847#1616042
a) This is interesting. The LG on this play acts a lot like the teleporting OL bug of old. If he drops back in his stance, and doesn't immediately engage the DT that the C is blocking, he may realize he needs to help on the LT missed block. Good sack tho.

3) https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/watch/8847#1616043
a) QB really lauched this one. 70 yards through the air. ****.

4) https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/watch/8847#1616045
a) QB throws it away, but it looks wonky. Also, throw aways should be counted as throw aways and not as passes to a WR.

5) https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/watch/8847#1616051
a) What?!? Why does he spike it here?


6) https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/watch/8847#1616061
a) Better anticipation on the throws for these cut back routes. Nice!

I'm going to at least get the pitch fixed for Saturday's games. I want to figure out why some teams had a gob of sacks and others didn't have many, and I think the throwaways are probably render and reporting errors that aren't technically affecting game play so those will be my secondary updates to the first set.

Ok, I did a little study into Denver's game, the 13 sacks were broken down by:

1 - short pass
6 - medium pass
6 - long pass

His distribution of passing plays are 7 Short Pass, 19 Medium Pass, and 25 Long Pass.

I'm not 100% sure I have a problem with that, as that is going to be a hazard of throwing those longer passes. Thoughts?
