Sticks
I like the sticks, but for different reasons. I think the sticks give the defense more of a play on the ball which makes you play honest defense and also gives a "skill" chance at a turnover as opposed to a dice.
I've put in the time and went from a passer who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn to a fairly proficient passer. But in the current world of 80-90% passers, that defender being "somewhat close by" doesn't make a whole lot of difference to a strong passer.
One compromise I'd like to try is to call the defender down at the end of any TTQB pass in front of the LOS (similar to Buzzball Rules) but ALSO allow the defender to place any unengaged defender within a white stick anywhere directly behind the target. I also like replacing the man with a target for an easy way to tell if it was complete.
