QB vision:

[Purple28Pedestrian]

I understand how people didn't like the QB vision cone. Although I find it annoying and unrealistic that you can stare down one receiver. Then proceed to throw a strike to the opposite side of the field without "looking" at the receiver.

there should be some attempt to move the QB's head to at least make it appear he looks at the target before throwing. Since there is no way to change who has the Orange route as opposed to the yellow ones during the play. [i know you can prior to the play, but nothing during the play]

this is what i liked about the vision cone is that it actually made it appear like u were looking for the receiver.

thoughts?

Re: QB vision:

uhhh you could change it during the play. You could use the right stick or the double tap method. With the double tap the QB would look at the receiver and then throw the ball to him. It was a very good feature and I wish they wouldn't have gotten rid of it.

Re: QB vision:

People who weren't good at it moaned and complained so they got rid of it. I enjoyed it and used it. I wish they would put back in Madden as well.

Re: QB vision:

I didnt try it much i didnt think i would like it but when you think about it, would of made the qb alot more realistic on looking at WR's.

Didn't people cry out that having a bright colored cone was unrealistic too? I liked the feature but I doubt it will ever be back.

as well as looking off the safeties....that was my favorite part....looking one way...pumped faking...then moving the cone to the intended WR and throwing a bullet....oh it felt sooooo good.

and of course you had all those Mike Vick gamers with their little little cones....haha

but this is what I like about the upcoming BackBreaker game...they are basically having a cone feature, but without the cone...its just that the camera is up close over the QB's shoulder and you can control where he is looking at....its basically the same thing.

i mean now sorry for the confusion....you can't change now, or I don't know how

Re: QB vision:

It will be harder to bring back since they assigned the right stick as the maneuver stick, ala 2K series.

Re: QB vision:

I really liked this feature, but with the new graphics, a cone would be an eyesore and I understand that. However I would like a double tap system. It could be required for ranked games or just optional for offline. I wouldn't really care, I just want it in the game.

It would be very simple, require no real learning curve, make the orange primary receiver route mean something, and could make it so the QB would turn his head to look in specific directions.

It also leaves the right stick open too. The only negative is that you couldn't have your QB looking at a spot on the field, and that's not really a huge problem.

Re: QB vision:

Why should I have to scan the field with my QB when I am scanning the field with MY OWN FREAKIN' EYES!!! lol

Also, the controls weren't intuitive enough. It was an ok idea that failed in it's execution.

Wrong. I was quite good at it, but I didn't like it.

What is the point of squeezing all of the graphical juices out of the current consoles, only to cover it all up with a flashlight lighting up a gray screen? Doesn't make sense to me.ce

Another thing that I didn't like was the feeling that I had to move my eyes twice. My real eyes, and my QB's eyes. It just felt weird.

I liked what QB vision tryed to do, not how it did it.

I know they have a double standard. They should take out the circle that tells where the ball is going to land too since that's unrealistic too right? I loved the cone because it made the QB's Awr mean something. Instead we have Alex Smith seeing the field like Peyton Manning and Troy Polamalu reading the QB's eyes as if he were a DLineman

Re: QB vision:

I thought this feature was dumb as hell and I was so happy to see it removed.


If there was any sort of pass rush it was too unrealistic, if your dropping back looking for the WR on the left and the DE happens to get loose on your blind side, how are you supposed to move out of the way of him under pressure, and still line up the QB vision properly on the WR you want before you throw it?


It was just too much going on, sometimes they would miss wide open players in the flat especially if a QB had low awareness, you were screwed if you had any sort of pressure.
