So, I asked during the Q&A about Superior Vision.

Super vision has been described as it only applies when playing defense - not offense or special teams. Yet, it's strangely absent from all the exclusion SA lists, unlike things like blitzing SAs that are clearly defense only and only available to defensive positions.
Is this an oversight on the exclusion list, or is it going to do something on offense/STs now? Can it either be added to the exclusion list or can we get a description of how it affects offensive positions?

I'm pretty disappointed in this answer, for two reasons.
1) I specifically pointed out that Bort has been quoted in the past as saying SV does not work on special teams. He rather casually answered that it does, so that's a set of conflicting answers that someone should resolve at some point.
2) There are plenty of SAs that would be useful on special teams for tacklers, but they're still on the exclusion list for most positions. Big Hit, Monster Hit, Wrap Up Tackle, these would all be useful as tackling STers. But QBs and OLs can't have them - they're excluded. I maintain that if Superior Vision is in this category of SAs, then it too should be excluded from positions like OL, HB, TE, WR, QB and left in defense and STOPs.
This is the sort of minor issue that I'd think could be fixed really easily by just saying "Oh, yeah, you're right, we'll add it" as long as it's before implementation. Otherwise, just go ahead and get ready for the never-ending stream of questions on whether Superior Vision works for QBs and what it does. It's a confusion point for players new to the system (which we all will be when it implements, and any new player to the game will be when they join) that should just be eliminated before it's created.
