    * Updated: Madden NFL 10 Blog: Creating "Next-Gen" Quarterback Play

    EA has just posted another Madden NFL 10 blog. This one talks about creating "next-gen" quarterback play.

    "Two days ago we added a new blog detailing the addition of a lot of new sliders and options to Madden NFL 10. This was met with a seemingly luke-warm reaction by some, as most were expecting a much more juicy feature or more in-depth gameplay information. So after talking with our marketing partners, we were able to all agree that we could release one feature that we are really excited about to try and appease those that may have been upset with the customization blog post.

    What is the new feature?
    Madden NFL 06 debuted one of the most controversial features in the history of the Franchise – QB Vision (aka the Vision Cone). The concept of this feature was simple: in video-game terms, replicate the vision of a real life QB and force/encourage the gamer to go through real-life progressions that a QB would do. You could use the cone to “look off” safeties, or follow different receivers as they ran their routes and made cut moves. If you threw to a receiver that wasn’t in your field of vision, you would expect a much more inaccurate pass. Better QB’s had much wider vision cones, emulating the concept that they have a better inherent knowledge of where all their WR’s are at all times."

        the line must play better and the colors hide the players.

            I missed Vision Cone, but I'd rather have the old method than my vision causing a rainbow of colors to be cast on the field.
            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

            I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

              Ian, I just want to say thanks to you and the Madden team for implementing the GREAT feature. This will be a game changer. I just preordered my copy.

                As much as I liked the original cone, the screen for the new one is UG-LY.

                It seems like a good concept, but the casual fans are going to flip.

                  Am I off base for thinking this is a joke?

                  Ian said several months ago that QB Vision was a feature that most in the community didn't care for and that he didn't see fit for it to return.

                    Bright yellow
                    is the most accurate range, while green is the second most accurate range. There has been a lot of debate on whether this should be switched, but being that the previous cone was yellow we all figured that it was more intuitive to keep that the same color as what people know.
                    It has honestly been so long since I used vision cone (I hated it on Madden 06) that I initially saw the mock up and thought Green meant the most accuracy.

                    I hope this is yet another option that can be turned off (on all difficulties).

                        It makes the game more realistic so I'm all for it.

                              Another reason this might be a joke, is Ian was just lurking in the madden forums and he didn't make a thread himself.
