I like that idea. I was also thinking that maybe actually allow the qb to read the defense. Maybe see if the corners are in man. Or if the safties are in cover two. Or if they are bringing the blitz. You wouldn't be able to see the whole defense, just part. And if you are using a qb with lower awareness, then maybe they make the wrong reads.

Nobody uses the right stick for the vision cone anyways. Keep the cone. Eliminate the right stick from the equation.

I agree, I rarely if ever use the right stick to move the cone.

Madden needs to implement a way for the QB to throw the ball away. Not out of bounds, but in the general direction of a receiver, so intentional grounding is not called. It would come in handy when the blitzes are as dominant as they are. It would also improve QB stats. I think it would be nice to be able to throw the ball out of the back of the end zone when the defense is after you. I doubt this will ever happen, and I doubt anyone outside sim gamers would really like the idea.

Amen.

I'm not sure how to implement it, but I'd love to see some sort of way to throw the ball away without it being intentional grounding. You want to cut down on the INTs? There's a way.

I actually kind of wish passing would revert back to the old days. Instead of every receiver having an icon, just have one icon for passing. Presnap you could set your progressions. Once the ball is snapped, the icon appears over your primary WR, you hit one of the triggers or something to move it to the secondary WR and so on - and X to pass to the WR the icon is over. I think that's a better representation of going through progressions.

Keep it like it is. The right stick thing can go, but I really like using and others don't so it is nice to have the option.

You can use it offline without a problem, but with all the blitzing online it is nearly impossible to use. I actually love it, but just offline. it is better than the Pokemon weapon icons.

I think that is an excellent idea. I can't tell you how many times I want to throw it away with a slow QB like Peyton Manning, but would get called for an intentional grounding if I am not outside of the tackles.

That is one of the best ideas for madden I have heard in a while. It could be done by using one of the triggers while pressing the button for the receiver. Like use Left trigger and B to throw near Marvin Harrison if he is covered but out of bounds close enough so it wouldn't be considered intentional grounding.

Different QB's could be better at this than others. For instance, Rex Grossman would suck at this, and possibly throw a pick!
