Wake me on April 17th

I'm personally waiting for May 7th...hoping against hope that this season we can have the ability to add/delete conferences and teams, and maybe even a playoff system.

Interested in hearing more about this.

Please be the return of something similar to the old Madden passing cone that KG thought up months ago.

[FirstTimer]

For reference of what KG thought about the vision cone.

My own take on passing..

Although EA/Madden abandoned the throwing cone I think that could have evolved into a more realistic passing system. Imagine you line up pre-snap, and are auto looking at your primary (with the cone) or at the line you can choose who you want to focus on first. After snap, you cycle through your targets by pressing their normal buttons, causing your cone to snap over to them, very simple yes? Then you have like LT or RT or whatever as the "throw" button. This eliminates the goofy RS mechanic that didn't work, but keeps the benefit of having "QB vision".

Bringing that back would eliminate the need for LB super jumps because the unrealistic ability to distribute the ball anywhere, instantly, would no longer be present.

Just my 2 cents on passing.

I posted this over at OS in the wishlist thread so maybe someone actually listened.
