This should be especially true on sim style where ratings are not supposed to be overridden by stick skills.

If you're able to be extremely effective with a rookie quarterback you should be that much better with Tom Brady--if the feature is tied to ratings. What can't happen is the feature being too easy to master to where the feature turns into a quasi-exploit.

This is all I want it to be. Nothing more. We have enough to worry about and look at as is haha.

If there is no target while passing then it's not target passing. It's just the same thing Madden has always has improved in some fashion.

Mlb the show seems to work alright with different hitting and Pitching systems online.

And the most iconic gameplay part of madden is the passing system. No way they get rid of it

If they add a reticle on-screen, I would be utterly, completely shocked. I am confident that it will be a loosing of the lead feature, already in-game, that will allow for wider array of passes. Meaning it will require a better mastery of the left stick sensitivity to put the ball where you want it. Which would be damn cool actually.

If you had to place your bet, that's where the safe and sure money is.

I like the idea of a throwing radius, size depending on the QBs accuracy rating and awareness. High AWR gives a QB a more consistent radius, where lower gives them a more random one.

Pair this with a WR catch radius, using catch and AWR the same and perhaps you can have a system were elite WRs make subpar QBs look good, and vice versa with Brady making cast aways household names.

Let it be present on the field like the tackle cone, and visually disable-able like the tackle cone.

Sure it's not a 'target' but I'm sure marketing doesnt view 'area' passing as catchy.

Love this idea

They already do exist in the current game.

- Throw Acc ratings = Radius of ball from target (basically stick Sensitivity for User)

- Spec Catch = Player Catch radius
- AWR of WR/Def player on Pass = how fast they'll adjust route while ball is in the air.
