That is one of the reasons why I liked using the stick as well. Yes with the double tap method you can get to the receiver you want a little faster, but it made things a little more difficult to play games with the defense.
When I use the Vision Cone, you never knew who I was going to throw to until I actually threw it, because I would make a concerted effort to look all over the field, but not at the person i was gonna throw to until the last second. For me it was easier to just sway the cone around with the Right Stick. After years of FPS gaming it was as natural as breathing lol.
