Yes, but the trade off of that shitty completion percentage is that there are way too many long passes completed into good coverage. You can just chuck and pray and that's a viable offense in this game. Notice how a lot of those 50% completion QBs still manage to average 9-10 yard per attempt?
Here's a good example of my last game with a jsid team in 10:
https://cust10.myfootballnow.com/box/view/2842 jsid is running his typical gun 5 and gun 4 offense, so I built a defensive game plan that would double his WR1 80% of the time. First and second down this strategy worked great. On third down, completion into double coverage after completion.
Now, in all fairness, my team in 10 sucks. I took it over this season, and it's a complete rebuild. My QBs refuse to complete more than 25% of their passes most games, and my line is a joke. (Many technicians, but they are so weak it doesn't matter.) I need at least two years to be competitive.
That said this game gives a good example of why the spread the field and throw it up for grabs is a more viable option in v.4 because the OL actually gives QBs time to throw it down field. They are only going to complete 50% of those throws, but in the right system, they'll still throw for 7,000 yards.
