I'm convinced that the Skill Trainer is impossible.

The Precision Modifer and the Ball Hawk trainer.

The former will not accept any of the precision inputs I enter (for example, the second to last rep where you have to precision hurdle always fails me, no matter what I do).

The latter gives you no indication to where the ball is going to be thrown and the QB throws routes that can't be jumped like quick slants. Plus you have to intercept the ball making it even more impossible.

Tips would be nice.

I'm right there with you on the ball hawk one. The precision modifier one was easy for me but took all of the buttons I pressed. For the ball hawk, any play they go 5 wide you are screwed. I don't get how to complete it, it's next to impossible.

Yes it's a little difficult... Defense is general is stupid on the game.

Defense is stupid yes, a little difficult though? Ball hawk is beyond difficult. Did you get a gold in it? If so how? Tips?

I was able to Gold the Ball Hawk tutorial but I don't really have any tips to offer beyond repetition and luck. Keep in mind that the drill can be restarted at any point, so if you fall below the Gold threshold early, just start over.

Re: I'm convinced that the Skill Trainer is impossible.

Took me awhile on this one but here are a few tips.

1. Unless you get 4 in a row successes to start, immediately restart the drill. You need to get on a roll.

2. User a linebacker and take away the middle routes. The computer won't throw there if you are pretty close. Force the computer to make outside throws to the receiver where it will tend to lob the ball up. Then just have to user it up for the pick.
If the computer see an open middle and throws a crossing route you have no chance. Have to force them to make sideline passes.

I have definitely been restarting if I got a fail in the first four. Thanks for the tips on the middle routes. I also seem to get screwed if I get pressure on the QB because they will just throw it up to the closest guy and there's never a shot to react...

In regards to the precision modifier, they never explain what it means for the defender to be 'in range'. When is the defender 'in range'? There is no indicator.
