QB rushing yards negative

[Invisible Witness]

Is this normal for some QB's to have -200 rushing yards at the end of the season?? I've simmed first season few times with default roster and there are always few QBs with -200,-150,-50 etc rushing yards.

BTW: If you add Dual Threat trait to runningQB then it gets even worse for some QB like -350 rushing yards.

Is this getting fixed in the next patch ?

this is one that really needs to be fixed. There's no point in having a running QB at this point

We'd have to look at things closer. It's hard to tell if they're going negative because of bad runs, or if they're scrambling and not effective, or some other issue. Adding the RunningQB flag and DualThreat won't make them good runners... it would definitely make things worse if they didn't have decent ratings to back it up.

Has this been fixed yet in the pro game?

Issue existed but was not as pronounced in the 2020 version of the game.

I have posted comments on the College board, as to what is occurring. You have to reduce the number of negative rushes, and the amount of yards lost on these rushes for QB's.

A QB who is that far behind the line of scrimmage will attempt to throw the ball away rather than take these negative losses. You will more likely see an intentional grounding penalty or the play be treated as a sack then you will see a >-5 yard rushing loss as a QB.

Critical issue with so much more running QBs in the game today.
Then one play that is used very much as we all have seen abd it's been there for decades.
The reverse/End around.
Obviously it isn't in the game since the WR ended up with too much negativ yardage, so Brooks (as he say) scratched the play. WTF ???

It's like Football Manager had said when they had problems with corners scoring too many goals. We just take out corners in the game. Silly.

I think I found the issue with the negative QB yards... the logic for building playbooks was assuming a different depth chart than the coach which was causing added QB rushing plays even for non-rushing QB. It will be in 5.0.9 as soon as we get that released.

Any idea when 5.0.9 is coming out? Just purchased the game and this QB negative rushing makes it tough to play right now. Thanks!
