Vision and Precision as a concept is an outstanding idea because a Quarterback has to look in a particular direction before he makes a pass. That part makes sense. He rarely throws blind, except for maybe passes in the flat which ironically are taken care of by EA because passes outside the cone but into the flat are more likely to be completions than any other passes outside of the cone. A quarterback goes through a progression, beginning with his primary receiver but looking towards a second, third or fourth receiver depending on who is open. The cone is simply a graphical illustration of what an NFL QB puts into practice each Sunday afternoon. The other effect however is to give the defense some indication as to where the QB is going to throw the ball. We've all heard about defensive backs following the eyes of the quarterback. V&P allows you to do precisely the same since it gives you some indication as to where the ball is going to be passed and you can follow where the QB is looking. In reality, it has a third function which is hopefully to eliminate some of the 'drop back 20 yards and launch the ball downfield' cheesy gameplay which happens online, but only time will tell if that's the case. One thing's for certain, you'll need to hit the practice field and learn how to move the cone before you even take the field.

The cone can be moved from one receiver to the next in two different ways. The first is to move it using the right analog stick. I found this difficult however because I was either moving it too far or too short of the intended receiver. If the QB has a large cone of vision that would be fine because the receiver would still most likely be inside the cone but for a QB with a smaller cone it would be much more difficult. The second method is probably the most convenient and the way I would recommend. Pressing the R2 shoulder button (PS2) brings up the icon (square, triangle, circle or cross) for each receiver. You can then press the corresponding icon in order for the cone to switch straight to that receiver. One thing you will find is that you will need more time to perform both methods, whichever you try, and there is an automatic temptation to drop the QB further back in order to give yourself more time. The further back you drop the QB the less likely the pass is going to be a completion, so you need to avoid that if possible. It took me a few games before I started getting comfortable with the new system but once I knew which buttons I was pressing it started to feel realistic.

2. If you are using a great vision QB like Brady or Manning or even some others that have a medium cone. Try making your reads off receivers on the same side of the field. That way you have a good chance of another receiver you are looking at being in your cone of vision.
Update: I have found that with these great QB's the right thumbstick is a very good option to move the cone. Their cone cover a big area so adjusting it slightly is pretty easy with the stick.

3. Have a quick route that you can switch to quickly encase of a big blitz. Since it takes more time at first to switch between receivers people are going to bring the heat and you need to have an option to go to quickly.

4. Break the habit early of dropping back farther to get more time. It will not work for you this year. Early on since I was slow getting my cone switched around I would try to buy time by dropping back farther. Lets just say I had some ver long 2nd and 3rd downs to deal with.

5. Update: I have found that as soon as you drop back hold on the trigger that lets you switch the cone to a different reciever. Even if you throw to your primary target that the cone is already on go ahead and select him and then let off the trigger and hit is button again. The problem if you just let off the trigger is it will do a pump fake and you will get delayed. The reason I say hold it down from the beginning is it's somewhat hard to hit it and the recievers button at the same time. It's better to be ready. I am still working out what's better... to hold the button as soon as you hike it or try to do it after you figure out what reciever you want to switch to. I am in the habbit of holding it as soon as I hike it right now.

6. Go into practice mode. Offense only and just switch the cone around for a while in both methods. Then go to the mini camp drill pocket presence and use the cone in that even though your not required to as far as I can tell. Also do the precision passing drill. These are the first things you should do when you first boot up the game.
