Have you tried editing your receiver ratings for faster speed, hands, etc?  I 
know that is cheating, but it works well.  If you don't want to do this, I 
have found that the short passing game is much easier than the long passing 
game, and usually, I run ins and outs or hooks, these all seem to work.  
What I do is zoom out so the players are small, and so I can see the whole 
playing area (I hate those passing windows).  Then, you should know from the 
play calling screen exactly how far each receiving route is, so you can 
anticipate your receiver breaking.  Finally, I don't change receivers a lot, 
except when I notice that one is wide open.  I stick to which receiver I have 
in mind before I start the play.  Right now, I am 8-2 as the Steelers and my 
QB, Neil ODonnell, is the highest ranking QB with a 100+ rating.  If you need 
more help. email me.
