There's two mistakes EA made in regards to the cone. The first one is not being able to turn off the CPU's cone and the second one is forcing you to use the cone in ranked online games. Don't tell me I can turn it off if I can't turn it all the way off. I enjoy playing ranked games, but I hate the cone so EA has pretty much run me off of Xbox Live.
I don't mind people who like the cone, but their arrogance towards those of us that don't want to use it for whatever reason is a little annoying.
