I don't like a visible meter much either, but if you can switch the visibility of it off, the mechanic could be good

I feel like I did everything a meter could do in a much more realistic and immersive way with my initial idea for this thread.

Pursuit needs a complete overhaul, i am so tired of turning the ball carrier in a direction only to watch 7 defenders completely and perfectly mirror that direction change like they are all mind melded together in some sort of "hive mind"! Same with blockers, and even more so here, because there is no way a guy who cant see the ball carrier should perfectly mirror what turns he makes... You can put in any passing mechanixs you want, as of right now, because the pass rush is non-existent. Bunch of paddy cake animations, no "struggle" or even attempt at faking a struggle...looks horrible and plays even worse... Not to mention that blockers who are beaten never even bother to "chase" the man that gets by them, they just squat down and stay motionless as if they are now blocking air which leaves you feeling irritated - and looks like dawg poo. No passing system can insert any "sim" feeling while these few issues remain...

This is the most honest assessments I've seen of Madden in some time.
