Lower-rated QB is way more accurate than my starter. Anyone else seen this?
I have a QB with:
95 short accuracy
92 medium accuracy
96 deep accuracy
89 throw on the run
83 throw under pressure
95 throw power
68 AWR
My third-string backup has:
82 short accuracy
79 medium accuracy
75 deep accuracy
80 throw on the run
69 throw under pressure
92 throw power
60 AWR
Both are dual-threat QBs. The higher-rated guy has Bronze Extender, Gold Dot, and Silver Mobile Resistance. The lower-rated guy has Silver Downhill, Bronze Option King, and Bronze Mobile Resistance.
But in practice mode, running the same offense and the same routes, the lower-rated QB consistently throws green or better balls and has about a 10% higher completion rate in game with a large sample size. It also just feels noticeably better using him.
Statistically, this makes no sense to me. If throwing ratings matter, the higher-rated QB should be way more consistent. Has anyone else experienced this in CFB 26? Is there some hidden rating, trait, release animation, ability interaction, or wear and tear effect that could explain it?
