Who doesn't like the camera angle?

First off there was no attack the statement was contradictory, and if you are buying a game based on the camera over the fun factor then there you were never buying the game anyway.

Then again there is always that frustrating alternative with more camera angles

So per this then, you're fine with almost everyone who's ever bought a Madden game not buying Backbreaker, except for the vocal minority who have bought into BB and think that an overhead view is OP and 'cheating'.

That quickly becomes not 'the majority of people who dislike it' but instead 'the majority of people who would have bought your game'.

I want game mechanics to prevent from cheese and cheating, not a camera angle.

Whether this camera turns out to be the miracle that saved non-Madden football gaming is TBD, my problem with it is the lack of options (and information about the rest of the game), that's it.

I'm definitely intrigued by it.

What I'm saying is all you guys who like Madden may not be interested in switching because you can't continue your cheesing like you did in Madden, Backbreaker is realistic so real football fans will probably like it, but the guys I play when I play online in Madden won't like BB because it requires you to think more.

Dont like it. I will give the demo a good looking at but the camera angle is probably going to prevent me from buying it.. Wasnt a big fan of Superstar in Madden and this is too similar..

Seems like running will be a real chore cos you cant see some defenders because of the camera angle.. And please tell me the ball doesnt glow in the game..

The ball glows but you can turn it off.
I don't see how running will be a 'chore' and you can see defenders using the 'focus' button. But whatever floats your boat.

I'm open to trying it for sure, and interested to see the experience.

But they should have had the normal "over-the-top" view as an option. Anyone blowing a gasket over this statement is probably a little too attached to the game to be objective.

From what I've seen I dislike it, although I'm definitely going to give the demo a try though and see if it grows on me. I'm very intrigued by this game, but I don't know if I can get into the camera. I'll have to see though how it is while actually playing with it when the demo is avaliable.
