Vision Precision ?

[Pared]

And what happens if Brady has taller linemen than Brees...?

That's all I'm sayin'. I was only asking! Can't recall ever seeing you post in the Madden forum. That's why I asked... no harm intended, bro...

Height does make a diffrence. You have to be able to throw and see over your linemen.

I agree with Pared here. Height does make a difference in reality but it shouldn't in Madden. A height difference of 6'0 vs 6'4 (Brees vs Brady) isn't big enough for it to be practical to implement into a video game.

I've been thinking about this myself, not so much the issue of QB height (although that's part of it), but whether or not the vision cone should be affected by where the quarterback is standing in the pocket. In reality, a pocket creates passing lanes where the quarterback can see the play develop downfield. So the cone should reflect the times when the quarterback is standing in those lanes by being wider than when he's not. Unfortunately, putting that into practice would likely result in users making even less use of the pocket than they do now and instead choosing to scramble backwards and/or roll out to clear their line of vision.

Now this I completely agree with.
