Exactly, I bring up APF because this discussion is about possible Madden passing game improvements. R&L is the main point of discussion, but I (and yourself) know max passing is more advanced than the Madden passing system. So, both styles are fair to discuss in the thread.
I stated that max passing could produce the same results as R&L, I never said it was "identical" to R&L. I agree, calling them "identical" would be nonsense.
Maximum passing can overthrow receivers in every direction. Trigger passing works similar to a timed button pass. Both techniques can throw lob/bullets; the trigger is just more precise with which type of pass is thrown.
I think this idea for passing directly relates to baseball video games. Some people love to use "cursor batting" others love to hit without a curor, like in MLB 09: The Show.
