Re: Madden 18: Target Passing Blog

It sounds and looks good on the surface. I hope that controlling the reticle is relatively easy; it would be nice if stick sensitivity was adjustable in game, but I doubt it would be; though this feature reminds me of targeting an enemy in a First Person Shooter (FPS), and I believe users who are good at the FPS games might find this mechanic easier to grasp and run with.

People just lack understanding to the "functionality and/role" of Ratings being used in the game misinterpret what should/shouldn't be happening.

The AI doesn't need to trigger an increased "L-Stick Sensitivity" on passes, so the usage (User only) is correctly applied in this case.


Yeah, the WR ratings matter, sure. But, Rex even said in an interview somewhere the QB accuracy ratings won't matter with this. Wherever u aim is where the ball goes. He didn't mention any speed of movement or anything.

I think that's what most are talking about when differentiating QBs with target passing. It's the QB accuracy ratings that are lost. QB throw power should still factor, I believe. But, a qb's accuracy is kind of important in real life. With target passing, it's just not there.

Again, if they change the speed of moving the target or something, that tied specifically into accuracy ratings, that would allow for separation of difficulty for tom Brady and Joe Shmoe. But, as it's been explained thus far, it sounds like if Joe Shmoe has a stronger arm than Brady, if he uses target passing, he'll prob be better than Brady.

Re: Madden 18: Target Passing Blog

They should just make the default ball placement better (less correction you have to make) or maybe have like an aim assist mechanic the higher your accuracy rating.

Re: Madden 18: Target Passing Blog

I don't understand how you implement this but don't take into account ratings. Once your good with this all QBs are exactly the same. I really don't get why they would think that's a good idea.

Re: Madden 18: Target Passing Blog

I have 0 interest in this if ratings aren't taken into account. That kills it for me. Why draft or develop or sign a great QB in Franchise if they will all throw the same?
