They're probably waiting to see how many pages they can get on this topic to see if they can top is next year with the announcement of "Ring Builder 3.0"

I'm glad their bringing back the QB vision; it's really the only way to make awareness a factor, which is the most important attribute for a QB. Let's say you're playing the Titans; without the vision cone, Young will most certainly be more effective than Collins. inexperienced QBs that are accurate and have strong arms will be just as effective as experienced QBs. That's not sim.

The cone will obviously not appear as it did in the blog; they're just trying to show a concept of what they're trying to accomplish.

This thing I didn't like was when they said they're trying to discourage people from sprinting out with the QB. The best way to discourage users from doing that is to penalize the QB's accuracy for throwing on the run and without setting their feet, and to make impossible to sprint and throw at the same time. That's what the "other game" did and it worked perfectly.

That's not how it's going to look in the game, and to hell with the casual fans. The game's been broken or lackluster for three years and those jackasses still bought. They're the reason why we were robbed of video gaming pleasure, so they can just deal with it.

A few things here...

For one, I love the fact that they are bringing back the cone. It'll add another dimension to the game entirely (as most of you know). I think the fact that the cone would have to be turned off in-game would make for a bad idea, why not just have an option in the gameplay settings to have it on/off/optional just like it was on PS2?

Secondly, (although I know this is still in it's early stages) I would absolutely hate to have the color coding implemented. I'm only saying this because I am reacting to what I see and how much (or little) information I've been told about it. I think it takes away from the human error aspect. Since in real-life you don't have some magic light guiding you to make the correct pass, you shouldn't have it in Madden either. I think the cone in previous Maddens was perfectly fine (just implement the new controls stated in the blog).

Thirdly, (again, I'm just reacting to what I know so far) does the field look really short to any one else? I mean, if I hadn't looked at the field, I'd say the Card's were only 30 yards out max. This might be a bit of an illusion since the cone is overtop, but I'm just saying. And since the field looks so small, the players appear to be huge.

I certainly don't want to be a downer, but I figure this stuff is miniscule in comparison to some things people are posting about. But don't get me wrong, I love the fact that they're bringing back the cone, I just wish I had more information about it...
