QB THA vs SAC/MAC/DAC

[jeffhamm]

Is there an impact in-game on the other 3 based on THA?

Background:
I am 3 seasons into a CF and have Derek Carr pretty much maxed out TP and accuracies (95+ before confidence), however, when the games are loading he shows up with THA 76. He constantly over throws receivers on streaks. I also drafted a rookie this year who is a 78 overall with 92 THP and 84 SAC, 81 MAC, and 82 DAC. I let him start the last preseason game and he had a THA of 92. He constantly hit the deep routes in stride and even the shorter routes were dead on. Despite having lower ratings he appears to be the more accurate QB.

Anyone else experience something like this?

It's been stated repeatedly by the Madden developers that THA is only used during game simulation and that SAC, MAC, and DAC are the ratings used during core gameplay.

I've heard this one and I've also heard it actually reflects lead passing. So a high THA is gonna let you guide it in better. A bad one will have more erratic throws when trying to use lead pass.

It does seem to help, I edit THA 100 then 0 in practice and noticed a diffrence. This could also be placebo effect to though. So anybody else feel free to try and post your results.

Sounds like placebo effect. The developers come out just about every year around this time and say it is only there for simming, it has no effect on gameplay.

I've had this exact same issue. It's Not just for simulating. That is just not true at all and they know that. It DOES have an effect on gameplay. Surely the people experiencing this aren't making it up if it's happening to multiple people. If it's a simulated thing, great, fine, but they shouldn't say it's not tied to gameplay if it actually is. I see the difference between low THA and high THA despite the other 3 ratings, and I know I'm not tripping.

Even if it is only tied to simulating, what's up with not being able to upgrade it? I personally play most of my games, but I know a lot of people just manage rosters and sim all games. So we will never see improvement to accuracy from a QB if we simulate?

I've also seen it reported multiple times in the past that THA affects simming, rather than in-game throwing accuracy.

I'm starting to believe certain things about attributes too now, though. I am definitely starting to think Ball Carrier Vision is certainly making my RB automatically weave through creases up the gut, push off O-lineman, and even a quick side-step when running right into the back of an O-lineman, all while keeping his balance. This is after playing two different RBs back and forth with a pretty big difference in BCV as well.

So afterall, what do I really know about THA affecting in-game throwing mechanics, besides what I read in the past.
