* Updated: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Creating "Next-Gen" Quarterback Play

11:24 AM - April 1, 2009 by Bgamer90

EA has just posted another Madden NFL 10 blog. This one talks about creating "next-gen" quarterback play.

Quote:


	"Two days ago we added a new blog detailing the addition of a lot of new sliders and options to Madden NFL 10. This was met with a seemingly luke-warm reaction by some, as most were expecting a much more juicy feature or more in-depth gameplay information. So after talking with our marketing partners, we were able to all agree that we could release one feature that we are really excited about to try and appease those that may have been upset with the customization blog post. What is the new feature? Madden NFL 06 debuted one of the most controversial features in the history of the Franchise � QB Vision (aka the Vision Cone). The concept of this feature was simple: in video-game terms, replicate the vision of a real life QB and force/encourage the gamer to go through real-life progressions that a QB would do. You could use the cone to �look off� safeties, or follow different receivers as they ran their routes and made cut moves. If you threw to a receiver that wasn�t in your field of vision, you would expect a much more inaccurate pass. Better QB�s had much wider vision cones, emulating the concept that they have a better inherent knowledge of where all their WR�s are at all times."

Oh Ian....and you tried to play it off like you forgot it was April fool's day.

# 22 Pnutt6 @ 04/01/09 11:43 AM

Hopefully it's not one of those features that Ian put his heart into, and everyone thinks it's a joke... lol

# 23 Brandwin @ 04/01/09 11:44 AM

April Fools

# 24 thejake @ 04/01/09 11:45 AM

Ok so next year on april fools, when you guys know its a joke, try to play along so we can watch all the people that don't realize it and laugh.

# 25 callmetaternuts @ 04/01/09 11:45 AM

I like how Ian and Phil are lurking in the forums right now. Either A) they are getting a kick out of an April Fool's joke or B) their latest greatest feature is being met with ridicule.

Hook. Line. Sinker.

Including me, running with it last night. ugh

# 27 SageInfinite @ 04/01/09 11:47 AM

I don't buy it. If this is real I'll be pretty surprised. Even if it is real, for the dudes saying it's ugly, it's just a early mockup version of what they would like to implement. I call BS though, lol.

LOL! That wouldn't be too cool. But I have a feeling it's not a joke though.

# 29 jmurphy31 @ 04/01/09 11:47 AM

Its not even on the official madden website...so probably an april fools joke...

# 30 Jistic @ 04/01/09 11:49 AM

Nice Try!

or we were trying to help the joke along.

# 32 roadman @ 04/01/09 11:51 AM

I'd like to see Ian or Phil(who are chuckling at this thread as I type) tell us why they aren't posting the blog on the new rolled out website announced yesterday vs using the old one.

haha

Just looking at the screen Kurt Warners "danger" areas don't make any sense, and there is no way the marketing team would let such an "ugly" scream shot be released. You would think they would at least use Brady or Manning with a Comparison shot of a lesser QB as well.

But it was a good April Fools joke.

# 34 green94 @ 04/01/09 11:55 AM

lmao

# 35 ch46647 @ 04/01/09 11:56 AM

I never liked the vision cone so I will not be using this. However, I cant believe nobody noticed that there seems to be a pocket forming!!

# 36 J-Unit40 @ 04/01/09 11:56 AM

This isn't Rainbow Brite '10, it's Madden '10. I call BS.

I like the humor though fellas.

# 37 Rashad19 @ 04/01/09 11:57 AM

Nice try Ian and company!!

# 38 green94 @ 04/01/09 11:58 AM

Ok you got us! Now show us the real blog!

# 39 rightallthetime @ 04/01/09 12:00 PM

I think this is ok for practice mode so you can get an idea of how your QB throws. On All-pro and Madden levels I think the cone should be the same as it was. Too many colors will be distracting. Also the o-line needs to play better if this is to work.

# 40 tyler289 @ 04/01/09 12:06 PM

I liked the vision cone, but this just looks ridiculous (if real), haha
