I wish they had an actual plan for Awareness after this feature was taken out because after this the stat just became a way to artificially lower the overall of players

Back when Madden used to in innovate

@fballcoach447 2 years ago

I actually really liked the vision cone a lot. It made Awareness actually matter on QB's. even 20 years later if you find a high throw power & high throw accuracy QB it doesn't matter if his awareness is a 40 and his overall is a 65 he will play just as good as Peyton Manning. I think the learning curve turned people off but I think it was actually a good idea that made the game make more sense. Just because a QB has the physical intangibles doesn't mean they necessarily have the mental intangibles and the vision cone actually made that work.

The QB vision cone made Mcnabb the best to play with cause his Awareness was decent and he could run

@johnreams3182 2 years ago

Okay, I liked the cone... however... it was more because of the defensive play. I enjoyed playing safety and reading a worse QB's eyes to ball hawk them. And I always liked playing pocket guys. I agree the size differences were a little ridiculous though. But reading a backup QB's eyes to jump a route and return it for a touchdown... I had always sucked on defense but this kinda gave me the help I needed to do something right

Vision cone separated the boys from the men.

@BranJ89 2 years ago

Cone literally changed what teams you wanted to play with. Everyone went from using Vick to playing with Peyton Manning

Shit was fire. When "get good" madden people had to be about that life.

The vision cone was the greatest madden innovation ever created

Genius idea. Loved it. Desperately needs to be brought back. The fact you can’t look off DBs, target WRs based off coverage is INSANE. It’s football 101!

There’s no sight adjust, there’s no WRs trying to find the soft spots in zones. High school football teaches this-it’s never been in a EA title. That’s why they get the heat they do.

This vision cone was one of the best features on the game. It worked in the qb's favor if you manipulated it correctly

Kofie, use the Wayback Machine for old articles. There are 15 captures of that article.

It’s sad they took this away because it was TOO REAL

@johnfoster2584 2 years ago

Never liked the cone until I started playing PS2 Madden again recently. Love it now. It's like the zone hitting of passing.

@kbshowtyme 1 year ago

The vision cone forced you to move the qb's head to find the open receiver. In real life a quarterback have to look at his receivers before he throws the ball and Madden without the vision comb the quarterback doesn't have to look around, doesn't have to find the open man he can just throw the ball. it's almost like a cheat so the vision cone brought a certain realism to the game.

@MegaBearsFan 1 year ago

Something that people seem to forget about the Vision Cone is that you could hold a shoulder button and press the icon of a receiver to instantly lock the QB's vision onto that receiver. You didn't have to sweep across the field with the right stick. Using the lock-on button allowed for scramblers and gun-slingers (Brett Favre) to still be able to hit receivers in different parts of the field, even while running.

I enjoy Kofie From The Couch. If you ever drop a podcast that's the title. You can have it, you're welcome.

Having the vision cone be controlled by gyros would be really cool I feel like

Anyone else hear Navi's "Hey! Listen!" at 10:53?

@RodmanTackleAdvisor 1 year ago

I loved the cone. I'd draft a scrambling QB and just develop his awareness. Once he got the full cone, it became broken. It's unfair. You become Superman.
