SPP for throwers completing TD passes

I think that you should get more spp for a completed pass

I would be strongly opposed to giving more SPPs for a completed pass. The passing teams throwers in my leagues always get three Star Player Rolls and mostly from passing alone. Thats with the 1 SPP. They would become crazy with 2 SPPs.

Additionally, I disagree with the notion that passing is too difficult to rate so little reward. Without crunching any numbers I can guarentee it is more difficult to get a Cas or an Interception. Before anyone rejoinders with the odds of completing a long bomb in tackle zones while its pouring rain, please consider the more likely scenario of a quick, short or even long pass in fine weather in the open. To give the same SPPs for this easier action would be wrong.

Its incredibly easy to get a completion when compared to the chance of a casualty.

Most teams start with a Passer that has the Pass Skill. Also, most usually start with a player with Catch. Both of these "reroll" skills make getting a completion simple. If completions were worth more than 1 SPP it would way overbalance the system in favor of AGI teams (moreso then it is

)

As I, and everyone that I play with read it it states that, the catcher gets 1spp completing the pass, and if he makes the TD then 3 more points. The thrower doesnt get any SPP´s at all. At least that´s how we swedes read the rules

Its quite clear the thrower gets the SPP. LRB 2.0 pp 39.

Completions (COMP): A player who makes an accurate pass that is caught by another player earns 1 Star Player point.
