2010 Draft Discussion (File update thru 5.28)

[Warhammer]

Timing wasn't useless in 2004, but there was no way to gameplan for it.

[sjshaw]

I don't know how important it was in 2k4, but "Sense Rush" is crucial in this version, unless Jim turned it down in the latest patch.

What do you think timing is?

[Warhammer]

If I remember it was the defense making a mistake or something like that. The way I figured it worked in the engine was the QB got a bonus if the defender failed his roll.

EDIT: It explains it in the file that explains what all the ratings are. Same place where we learned that Getting Downfield controlled YAC.

The only reason why I thought Jerome Mueller played well early on was that he had a high timing as a rookie, and he played well beyond his years that season. The only other rating going for him was his medium pass skill.

Hey Jeff, since i'm about to pick, can you update thru 6.7 when the pick gets made.

Timing - ability to connect with receivers who deviate from the planned play

Anyways, I saw too many QB's with no timing whatsoever be extremely effective.

Timing is the ability of a quarterback to hit a receiver in stride, to maximize the receiver's ability to gain yards after the catch. So, gameplanning for short pass is a way of taking advantage of a QB's good timing ability. Or if a QB has bad timing, throwing longer passes will try to negate the negative affects of the bad timing.

yes, bad timing doesn't mean a quarterback will be uneffective. But, i think in FOF2004, the game was pretty forgiving to QBs. In fof2007, it is less so.

Actually, that's accuracy you are describing.

[sjshaw]

Man, I have 3 guys right here I really, really like.

nevermind. I was getting mixed up with accuracy. :?

err, yeah.

[Suicane]

Just don't take my guy!

[sjshaw]

Couldn't pass up the combine stud MLB. I hope that zone defense isn't a zero potential, or he'll get switched to DE very fast.

[sjshaw]

I'd love to pick up an extra pick right here. I'll give my 7th rounder and next year's 6th rounder for a pick as long as my guys are still on the board.
