Set Passing to ‘Placement’ with Dots/R&G/PD

‘Placement and Accuracy’ has been the go to all year. For good reason. You can use stick skills to override imperfect ratings. However, I think if you’re using deadeye abilities, you may be shooting yourself in the foot.

Rather than timing, ‘Placement’ passing goes off of ratings for accuracy. Most of the time that’s a bad thing, but with deadeye abilities, the accuracy stat gets overridden to be ‘perfect’. The timing element no longer adds any benefit and removing it will get rid of all of your bad throws due to timing miscues.

This is just a theory and all of my evidence is anecdotal, but I switched and immediately saw results in gameplay. Turns out my timing sucked and I never realized it. Now I’m getting much better throws.

Obviously do whatever works best for you. I just thought that this was worth sharing. Give it a shot if you’re struggling with accuracy even with abilities.

Thank you! I will try.

No problem friend. Glad you found value. I’ve also noticed a slight improvement with pressure abilities. Not sure if it’s enough to use a bucket, but it’s something else to try.

Are you still able to somewhat lead the pass on just placement?

I believe it only changes timing. Forming the pass should stay the same. I’ll verify here in a minute.

Well this could be a gamechanger. What about Gunslinger. I don't use that anymore cause I kept over throwing to wide open receivers. Would the Placement passing setting affect that as well?

From my understanding, the problem with gunslinger is that it speeds up the throwing animation and throws off button timing. With placement the timing element is removed. So gunslinger shouldn’t affect accuracy with this change. Take this info with a grain of salt. I don’t use gunslinger so I’m not positive, but I’m pretty sure lol.

Thank you. I probably won't use gunslinger anymore anyways. But this is some gold information.

Absolutely. I played a few games last night and it was such a big difference. Thank you so much. I actually didn’t go to bed pissed off from this game. lol.

I don't think it lets me lead the ball anymore at all. Did you notice any difference?

ok will try

Do you think Pass Lead Elite is necessary if this setting is on?

Passers with this ability have increased throw power on bullet 'precision' passes
