oh yea, thats why theres a entire team with no vision who won a championship. Thats why theres a thread with hundreds of replies in the main positional build called 'vision is useless'. thats why theres a dozen threads with a dozen dozen replies in the WR threads alone saying how vision is the most overrated stat. Thats why every guide on the d-line thread lists vision as the 4th or 5th most important stat, to be trained occasionally to 30 while you spend all your time getting str and agi to the 3rd soft cap.
I wasn't reffering to the WR's Vision, I was reffering to the D's vision when stopping headfake. In season 3, whem Headfake was most successful, most D never put points into vision. They may have trained it occasionally, but no one ever capped it or put points into. With respect to your assumption of the D-line forum, have you read Miked33 DE guide? The most successfull DE in GLB puts vision as the 3rd most important attribute, ahead of strength and tackling. However, that's besides the point. Maybe the difference between D's vision in Season 3 and their vision in Season 5 is, say, roughly 10 sp (I think they would have a lil more). Now, Headfake is MOST effective against defenders with low vision. Maybe that extra 10 points made the difference? I don't know for sure, you don't know for sure, only Bort does. Now don't go pointing fingers and complaining about a Nerf when the game may have just evolved and players have realized that Strength and Speed arn't the keys for success. Moreover, you forget that, I would say at least 25% of defenders, have their Agility at least to the soft cap. I know many DE's have it to the second cap aswell. That puts the average RB with, say 65 Agility (again being generous), against a D-linemen with 60 Agility. The lineman isn't going to get the pants juked out of him as frequent anymore. Lastly, there are some RB's out there that still have success with headfake, so clearly it has not become completely useless.
