Turnover margin

As per the other thread I've noted the importance of this stat in real football. And again I need to convert it into MFN...

So I actually understand what a fumble is and an int. I guess I need to look for players who have better Avoid fumble (and strength?)

For ints I assumed good pass accuracy and fields of vision....however in league 74 my qb gilmore seems to have good ratings in these areas but has still thrown 12 ints by the end of the season - along with the other guy throwing 6 it's worked out as 1 per game and rates me as one of the worst compared to others in leagues stats section.
Could it be wrong choice of plays or a deficiency with my WRS?

Again any help would be appreciated :)

Speed/scramble are both extremely important in the current code, especially if your o-line is lacking. This allows your QB to avoid pressure more easily, which hurts their accuracy.

I find that look off is essential for keeping INT rates down too.

while the ratings can sometimes be misleading on some qb's, interceptions can happen by playcalling. If you are throwing a lot of deep or medium ***** into coverage you will see more interceptions. If your qb is under pressure and he just wings it to a wr you will see more interceptions. Probably the biggest thing for me is if your playcalling is predictable. If you're not balanced and the team can scout the pass plays you like to call and then key the pass they will have a greater chance of getting pics. I just played a super bowl where my qb had only 13 ints all year and he posted 6 in the superbowl. sometimes it's just one of those days and no ratings or gameplan can help ya :)

Tell that to my QB with 97/100 Look Off who just threw 7 INTs versus Bryson in L75, haha.
