What does Execution do?

September 12, 2011 at 06:46PM View formatted

"Execution" is sort of that catch-all rating that indicates how good a player is at playing his primary position. It essenytially fills in for a number of "special purpose" skills that are not added to the game because only one position would use it.

Here are some examples of what Execution means to various positions:

[b]QB[/b]:
- Determines ability to get a pass to a "hot read" screen if under pressure from a blitz
- Ability to pass under pressure (equally with Agility)
- Increases consistency on short, quick passes

[b]K[/b]:
- Allows for more consistent power and accuracy on long kicks
- Ability to compensate for wind
- Chance of flubbing the kick is based on the lower of Kick Accuracy and Execution

[b]P[/b]:
- Improves hang time (along with Kick Accuracy)
- Overall punt accuracy (along with Kick Accuracy and Hands)

[b]Holder[/b]:
- Part of the formula to determine Hold Quality (along with Hands)

[b]Kick/Punt Returner[/b]:
- Determines how accurately the player can determine where the ball is going to land (in relation to decisions whether to run back the kick on a kickoff or let the ball bounce on a punt based on your strategy settings)
- Helps get the initial yardsage of the return (half as much as Kick Return)

[b]Offensive Line[/b]:
- Determines chance of False Start penalty (half as much as Aggressiveness)
- Determines ability to pick up the blitz

[b]Defensive Line[/b]:
- Determines chance of Offside penalty (half as much as Aggressiveness)

[b]Onside kick (Kicker)[/b]:
- Determines chance of ball falling short of the 10-yard limit (equally with Kick Accuracy) or going out of bounds (half as much as Accuracy)
- Determines the chance of getting the ball to "pop" into the air, making it harder for the receiving tiem to field (equally with Kick Accuracy)

[b]Onside kick (Hands Team, both sides)[/b]:
- Determines chance of recovering the ball in a scrum (equally with Hands)

[b]CB/NB[/b]:
- Determines chance of Illegal Contact penalty

[b]Pass Coverage[/b]:
- Determines chance of Pass Interference (along with Aggressiveness)
- Part of formula determining how well a receiver is covered (about one-third as much as Pass Cover)
- Part of several formulas related to YAC (along with Agility, Break Tackle, Carry and Speed)

[b]Receiving passes[/b]:
- Determines chance of a Spectacular Catch (along with Catching and Jumping)


Note that this list is not exhaustive, just some examples of where Execution comes into play.
