Which passing feature was introduced in Madden NFL 06?

The passing feature introduced in Madden NFL 06 was QB Vision. It represented the quarterback’s field of vision with a cone-shaped spotlight extending from the passer.

To make an accurate throw, the intended receiver generally had to be inside that cone. Players could rotate the cone with the right analog stick or focus it on a particular receiver using the controller. The cone’s size depended largely on a quarterback’s awareness and passing-related ratings.

Madden NFL 06 also added Precision Passing, which let players influence whether a throw arrived high, low, ahead of, or behind a receiver. That is a common source of confusion: Precision Passing was a companion control feature, but QB Vision was the headline passing innovation introduced in the game. The system was eventually removed after many players found it difficult and unpopular.
