So if you think that it's bad this year, just imagine how pointless it felt last year. The Franchise Mode has been around for many years, on the other hand, and thus is a lot more polished. Though I think the whole "concession stand" thing was just added a year or two ago. And yeah, that field-of-vision thing was added not long ago too. You use your right analog stick to position it, and it increases the accuracy of any passes made within it. It's really kind of silly, since it doesn't actually add realism like they said it was supposed to and it forces your thumb off of the passing controls.
