Hmm, as usual, I'll have to play to feel it, but wow, I don't understand why it's the left stick to aim. So, u can't move and aim at the same time? While, I know that would be hard to do, u should have that ability. Personally, I never use the right stick for QB avoidance, so I was assuming when I got the reticle up, I would aim with right stick and simply lose the QB avoidance stuff. That way, u could at least roll out and whatnot. But, overall, I'm definitely going to give this a shot. It may be something that feels better on certain plays than others. Like, it may really suck for throwing deep so don't even bother using if u have a shot at going deep on a play. But, if you're calling a play that's definitely a quick short/medium ball and u have a good idea where u will be placing the ball between zones, u might use it to really aim that sucker in there. But, wow, yeah, this will take some dexterity with the fingers and thumbs. Lol. I'm going to have to start working out, again. Lol.

I like this idea of tying the reticle to right stick instead of left. There are plenty of qbs who throw on the run. Aaron Rodgers is a guy who likes to move around and throw to a spot. Maybe this is something that can be changed before release

There is zero chance that it's going to be changed before release.

Anything that makes the passing game more challenging (in a fair way) is a good thing. I didn't own an Xbox, so never got to play the Fever series, but always heard good things about the game, and have seen some videos highlighting the passing system. I'm intrigued.

Really stupid to put the reticule control on the left stick rather than the right IMO

I understand why people are upset about aiming being in the left stick but I think about it this way, if you're being forced from the pocket/running for your life you aren't gonna be trying to make precision passes. For me precision passing is gonna be used when I have to time to step up in the pocket, set my feet(so there's no need to be using LS), and throw.

That's a very good point man, I think I like it a bit better now if I think of it in those terms.

Has anyone seen or commented on the O-Line/D-Line play? Are pockets actually forming? Is it totally different then years past? are DE's trying to actually get downfield to force the QB up in the pocket?
