Apparently I simply cannot pass in this game. I find the CPU pass defense to be ridiculously good. No matter who I pass to or how wide open when I pass the ball either 3 or 4 CPU defenders converge instantly to stop the play, or a LB 20 yards away leaps up and tips the ball, or the receiver simply drops the ball or doesn't even turn around to attempt to catch it. It is getting to the point that I am ready to throw this game in the trash. I have a 90+ QB and 80-90+ WRs, with the CPU pass defense set at 0 and I am still only completing 30-40% of my passes. Last game the "mighty" San Jose State had 18 deflections...

I am at wits end with this game....are their any settings to fix this???

Check out the sliders subforum. While passing in 12 does suck in general, sliders (basically sets of custom settings that severely change gameplay) can help mitigate it to some degree.

I think "sucks" is putting it mildly. This is by far the worst football game I have ever played. Just tried playmaker's settings with two exceptions. I left my QBA at 50 and put the CPU PD at 0. As Oregon my passing game was dominated by Ohio (Not OSU mind you) losing 27-23 at home. My QB had 4 Ints and had a completion percentage of just around 30%. The CPU had 19 deflections and my QB was sacked 9 times...all coverage sacks. My 90+ wideouts were blanketed by Ohio's 60-70 DBs. The LB's and DB's are literally jumping to swat before I even throw the ball. The only pass play that seems to work is 4 verticals....and don't get me started on how horribly screen plays work...apparently my 5 blockers in front are never able to stop that one defender from getting through to tackle my back for a loss....

Gonna try my QBA at 100 and CPU PD and PR at 0. If that doesn't work I am trading this piece of junk in, and going back to Madden for my football fix.

When I first got the game I sucked it all over the field, It was so bad I put it down and stopped playing, for a couple months I started playing again recently but I knocked it down to varsity, and I am having a blast, I don't know if it's less realistic, and I don't know what you play on. But I do know I enjoy it more with the difficulty a little lower

I play on hiesman no sliders and love the passing game. With saying that I struggle as well. I play 10 min quarters and only pass around 30 times a game with a 50-60% completion percentage. I like it and it gives me a challenge. Honestly some good advice is to play smarter. Mix up run n pass in the same formations. Keep it simple and don't take to many risks. Just like real life. People crack me up when they wanna throw away a game cuz their no good at it.

I've only had one game where my completion % dropped beneath 60 and it made me sick to my stomach. I threw the ball 50 times in that game and I hate looking at that stat line.

With that said, you'll get better at it but I do think the game is rather unpredictable at times. I torched Alabama for 450 yards and 4 TD's then the very next week I couldn't complete a pass either because of tips or drops to save my life against Toledo.

The best "passing" advice I can offer is this... just "pass" on this game entirely. Your sanity will be kept in tact and your future self will thank you one day!
