Just how bad is the Gunslinger Glitch?
I've had GT Cunningham for a week now, literally my first QB with G, and for a week he's been great. But today even against the CPU I've had a couple ugly passes bounce off of lineman. One was pretty much my fault, I was too close to my OL and Cunningham basically bashed the DL in the helmet with the ball. Now I've read on here that G makes them throw at OL because of the lower trajectory, but this last incident I was a ways behind my lineman and as the ball came out the nose points down inexplicably, collides through Cunningham's arm, and rotates end over end once before crashing into Kareem Hunt's helmet.
Is that because of Gunslinger or am I just getting some suspect collision detection?

find a cheap QB with conductor to start that way when u sub in Jackson he keeps the C chem but losses the G chem
Not too terribly bad. I've only had it happen a handful of times with Watson. A couple of them were probably cause I was under pressure and/or in a tight pocket.
I was playing a guy in WL yesterday with GT Vick second play of the game he hit his lineman and I got a pick 6 off of it. I've been using Conductor for awhile.
I've used Marino aand GT Vick, it happens with Vick because he's shorter than Marino.. it never happened with Marino because of his height..
Seems to happen on those low point passes over the middle mostly, you know, the new meta lol.
I noticed it more on shorter QB's, Cam and Marino don't seem to do it was much but if you have a shorter QB some of those rockets misfire.

...I have had many instances of it helping my screen. Marino with G can basically throw a screen after he's already been brought down. Weird looking animation, but these are the screens that break big (against blitzes)
I been using Marino with G and I never have this problem. Maybe it is a gunslinger throwing while moving glitch??? I always have feet set to throw.
I've been a big fan of Gunslinger for the past 2 years....you'll get than hang of it. It used to be a problem for me back when I had first had Favre last year. But I've adjusted and can't imagine a life without Gunslinger now.

Then you're doing it wrong.
I really wish on of the GT Qbs would have had conductor with identifier, then I could build an all SP O-line

Had 2-3 awkward low throws with Watson over the course of 2-3 weeks. 1 may have been in a crowded pocket. So the gunslinger issue happened, but it was extremely rare.

💯

Same here.. However, with or without Gunslinger you will hit your linemen or have a crazy miss throw if you're too close to a teammate (often the HB) when throwing.
Okay cool. I was thinking it shouldn't be that bad of a thing and for the most part it hasn't been. There's definitely no way I'm going back to Easter Russell Wilson after using GT Cunningham but I did pull a Toughness Steve Young today. I think I'll sell Young then because for the most part Cunningham has been great.
