Madden 21 Broadcast Cam - A Scorned Camera Awaiting Its Time to Shine

Re: Madden 21 Broadcast Cam - A Scorned Camera Awaiting Its Time to Shine

I too have been asking for this for years and it always got some supporters but then died in a sea of higher priority posts. But the Broadcast CAM functions that I am looking for are very similar to the PES/FIFA Camera dashboard that quite simply lets every user customize the tilt, zoom, and perspectives as well so that way it can satisfy everyone's tastes

I dont know why we simply have never gotten customized CAM abilities in MADDEN, as the NBA, NHL, and Soccer games have had it...forever!


I will say this about the Broadcast CAM, for me, I truly enjoy Madden in this view (altho wish we had the above customization) because the game takes on a totally more realistic look and feel. And even the control feels different. There just seems to be more fluidity to the gameplay. Maybe it is because you dont see all that rubbery, robotic, & wonky movement between player transitions that you do at the closer views.

To me, I feel there is a more organic player spacing and separation to routes and angles from this view. I can pull off sweeps and inside runs thru holes, that for some reason, I cant complete from the Madden Cams. Watching and Reacting to the entire field and seeing it unfold from this perspective makes it feel so much more like an NFL game.

I just wish we had the ability to zoom it back a little further and tilt the field a bit more to see it more like the FIFA/PES fields to get an even more entirety of all the action unfolding.

Come on EA.....listen to the people

Would be nice addition to add sound to tackles on broadcasts as well.

uggh yes, I cant tell you how much that bothers me on both the Madden 22 and Broadcast Cams. These missing tackling sound fx just doesnt make sense....Its as if the designers are trying unintelligently to intelligently add spatialized sound that is louder the closer you get with the CAMS. but it feels more like glitched and missing sounds. From these angles you should hear all the same sound fx for gameplay enjoyment.

If the user wants to silence them, they can by just lowering the field fx.....but dont just completely remove them from the Broadcast and All 22 CAMS!

Here is some gameplay footage from one of my Franchise games. I'm not greta at Madden by any stretch; but just to show off some footage using Broadcast Cam and Rams workaround.

Some of these more recent suggestions are a bit off...

The simplest way to explain it is the you can't player lock onto the same guy twice in a row on the same play. You also have to start the lock fairly soon after switching on. But otherwise it can be a WR, TE, or even a RB and it'll work the same.

I go over it at the very start on this video:

Appreciate the navigation to the video! Can't wait to try this out again after your tips. You made it look so easy to get that view.

Side note - huge fan of all your work on sliders and maximizing our game experience. Grew up watching Barry too, and a lifetime Detroit fan!

I havent bought 21 for the first time in 20 yrs.Broadcast camera is the only way i play this game. I want a custom broadcast camera so bad and its ridiculous that its not included. We got to keep up the pressure for the developers to patch it in.

This workaround is amazing and might get me into trying an offline franchise. Great stuff

Background....I've been playing video game football for over 30 years (yes I'm old..lol) And I've always played the traditional behind the QB mode.
But tonight. Something happened. I had fun playing Madden!

You can check my history. I've been so critical of this game for the longest.
This month, I haven't been this depressed about football gaming since the death of NFL 2k.

I've bought Backbreaker. I've bought Maximum Football recently. Just to try to find some joy in football gaming.

I was ready to dump Madden for at least 3 more years. Still might if they don't fix some of the bugs and do something with franchise.

But tonight. I tried broadcast cam and I raised off up off the couch with amazement. It looks and felt so much better. I've seen the topic bounced around more lately so i thought I'd give it a try, attempting to save Madden 21.

The passing game looked crisper. The running game was great. The QB drops and animations were prettier. The lighting, the game as a whole just looked beautiful in motion. I didn't notice a lot of eye sour animations or things that lookd wonky. There were still some hiccups, but I mainly saw a beautiful game that reminded me of REAL football for the first time in a long time.

WHY ISN'T MADDEN DOING MORE WITH THIS VIEW? It makes their game so much more appealing to me now. I've been awaken. This might have just saved Madden in my household.

Like others said the passing game is difficult due, but it you are passing to the top of the screen or immediate middle, it is so much fun to see now to me.

If they can adjust the camera some, so you can pass with more consistency, then you might have just made a Madden fan, rather than someone that barely tolerates the game.

Please for the love of everything football EA....you screw me over so much with this game. It almost makes me more upset that you haven't allowed the camera to be adjustable now....
Please EA adjust the camera some so we can play it full time without workarounds to pass.

I think I could love you if you do this.

Broadcast cam is great. Thank you for the article.

Welcome to the club brother. It's what we've been preaching for a over a decade. P.S. once you use the workaround trick, all your concerns are put to rest.

Lol thanks.
I use the work around when possible.
I gotta get used to when to exactly snap the ball, because too far way, looks like a blimp mode and not a big fan of that.
So working on when to time it, to where I can pass downfield and still appreciate the view.

But yes. A lot more enjoyable.

Come on Ea Developers give us a custom braodcast camera. Please in the next patch!

Re: Madden 21 Broadcast Cam - A Scorned Camera Awaiting Its Time to Shine

All they simply need to do is add a Customizable Broadcast cam like FIFA so everyone can adjust the CAM sliders t o their personal liking...Done deal!


Oh and they should also fix the missing sound fx from the All 22 and Broadcast cams....its very annoying and unengaging to hear no tackle sound fx when someone gets hit from this view (only big haymaker hits are heard)

Re: Madden 21 Broadcast Cam - A Scorned Camera Awaiting Its Time to Shine

Does anyone know if the developers are going to add a custom broadcast camera? We should tweet the developers to add this. We got ian cummings to add it back in madden 15.

With all the options on watching instant replay you’d think it would be an easy add for development team. If had the ability to zoom in and center the cam a bit and get some views that replay has it would be a game changer.
