Quarterback throws automatically

I've noticed lately that the QB (98 Mariota) will sometimes throw the ball automatically when I drop him back or move him around the pocket. When it happens, he always throws to the left WR. It comes up regularly in "Throw before the MLB Sacks You," but has started showing up in H2H. Usually, I can recover, but this last time made me blow up. One 3rd and 4th down, running Weak I Triple Post and Strong I FB Middle, I had the TE alone in the end zone on the right side inside the 4, so it's a quick throw for an easy TD against the programmed goal line D. Before I could hit the button, the ball is flying out to the left WR for a drive-ending interception in a H2H match. There is no setting in Preferences I can find that would give the QB 'discretion' to throw the ball, so it must be a glitch. And no, my left hand is not on the screen. In fact, I have to reach over after hitting Start to hit TE button.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    I have this same issue. The QB spontaneously throws the ball to the receiver on the left without the user tapping the screen. It happens quite often and on any pass play, other than PA passes, to the point where I have to give up regular passes altogether in matchups.It seems to not be specific to any QB, since I am using Vick and others are reporting the issue with other QBs in their lineup. I am very certain that I am not accidentally tapping the screen - snap the ball carefully with one finger, make sure to not touch anything, and watch your QB throw a pick with no user interaction! I've lost many Overdrive matches and cannot compete at Gold and Elite tiers due to losing over half of my playbook. Coming from behind with long passes is not possible against higher level competition. Very frustrating!!!

    I have the EXACT same problem. On any pass play (other than PA) that has a throw to the Left side of the field, my QB throws the ball as soon as the ball is snapped and in my Quarterbacks hands. I have no control and no way to stop it. Its absolutely unacceptable. Needs to be fixed ASAP. Been going on for weeks.

    I have had this happen to. I think the issue is you need to be sure your finger is on the analog stick when going backwards if not it will throw to the left side WR every time. 

  • Ive heard that too. I dont know why, but a guy in my league said that once he started holding the analog stick to drop back it stopped happening.
