Gameplay Improvement: Throwing Meter

Of course, his body angle would be controlled by the right thumb stick as you do your drop and move in the pocket.

I'd actually like to have the QB avoidance moves back in the game as well on the right stick lol. Being able to duck under a rusher or even just a quick sidestep in the pocket is way better than trying to stiffarm or juke.

Like golf and baseball, meter goes up for power then it comes back down and you hit it on the line for accuracy.

Yeah that was the one. My cousin and I used to play with me at QB and him at WR.

I imagine the meter could be placed by the receiver instead of the QB.

That would take way too long lol. You would essentially need to decide who you're throwing to 2-3 seconds before you actually throw it.

What about something like The Show's player lock/RTTS throwing system? Don't completely love the idea of slowing down gameplay Max Payne style though. Might actually be a better idea for FOF...

Yeah that's why I oppose it..getting sacked 20 times a game doesn't sound fun

I was a fan of the vision cone. I’m surprised I’m in the minority about that on here.
