when playing in cFM i hear from some that you should put points into it b/c it affects placements of throws.
Along with good route running helps separation so where players can't magically jump the route when trailing behind.

want to hear the community thoughts on it.
Should i invest heavily in my qb awarness in a 32 man CFM

All the top QBs in my league have 99 Awareness...it's not a coincidence.

In my Jags CFM Bortles' AWR is in the mid 80s. Last season we lost him for the remainder of the season in around week 11. Kafka took over and his AWR was 30 points lower and he lead us to consecutive victories against the division leading TEN Titans....once in the regular season and once in the Wildcard Round of the playoffs. I play coach mode so take from that what you will.

I tried a little experiment where I cloned EJ Manuel but pushed his AWR to 99, then threw the slant to Watkins with Revis in man coverage over and over. In that case, the high AWR QB actually performed a little worse over 100 throws, but overall it was close enough that it didn't seem to make a difference.

I don't know if it has any effect on user QBs.

I'd imagine that since you user control the quarterback, you replace the awareness rating of the quarterback with your own personal "awareness"

But on CPU teams or non-user controlled quarterbacks, awareness is incredibly important.

Exactly this!

I always thought that this was how awareness worked... however, in my online league Flacco was hurt for most of my first season and lost 17 (iirc) points in awareness . Honestly, he just wasn't the same QB after that. I ended up replacing him midway through Season 2.

I've found, and read somewhere on this forum, that it is also a modifier to Route Running. So, it helps determine how tight of coverage everyone has on the recievers. With 99 awareness, the throwing gaps should be (very slightly) larger. Also, in personal experience, it seems to help with pump fakes but that may just be me thinking that.
