Classic vs. Revamped

[callmetaternuts]

I still don’t understand the difference. Both have arc determined by how long you press the icon. What am I missing?

the vague difference as i understand them is classic is more punitive but with placement theres more control over the landing spot if you so choose. revamped provides a more perfect trajectory to fit the ball in smaller windows kinda like aim assist for your qb.

Classic gives you 3 trajectories to work with.

If you run the same curl route and throw with the same timing every single time, then every time you throw a bullet it will have the same exact path. Every time you throw a touch it will have the same path. Every time you throw a lob, you guessed it, same path.

With Revamped you aren't throwing with 3 predetermined trajectories on each throw. Where you land on the meter determines the trajectory and ball speed. If I hold the button long enough to be more than a lob but not as long as a touch, I get a semi-touch pass that's got more loft than a Classic touch pass but isn't a full on lob. If I hold the button long enough to be more than a touch but less than a full on bullet, I get a trajectory in between that of a touch and bullet.

If I tap the button as little as possible for the highest trajectory with Revamped, I get a high lofting ball that's higher(and slower) than any lob I can get with Classic.

Simply put, you have significantly finer control over the velocity and loft of the pass since you're working with a meter now and not 3 predetermined pass types.

I love revamped, the problem with it is it's too accurate no matter the QB.

Using classic fixed the press issues I was having with the CPU getting smoked by my speedy WR's on verts. Now, I under throw the ball, over throw, miss, etc.. it's been a game changer for me.

I don't think it effects the CPU QB's, but I am also seeing them have the same under/over throws as I am more often than I did on revamped.

This is why I stopped using Revamped. Too accurate.

I am really hoping next year we get Placement and Revamped combined as a setting that allows us to have the velocity/trajectory control of Revamped with the aiming ability of Placement along with the ratings dependency for accuracy.

Yep

Same here

I switched to Classic and never went back

I’ll third this. When using revamped, anytime my WR beat press coverage and got a step or 2 on the defender, a revamped lob pass was basically a guaranteed TD and it felt like cheating throwing it. Using classic, those are definitely not guaranteed (much more often it’s incomplete or even intercepted). But when I do complete it, it feels sooooooo satisfying.

Agreed, and typically if I'm playing a good team, it's rarely completed. I do love seeing the occasional deep short throws where the WR stops, turns around, and makes the catch.
