Front-page article is now live, first post in this thread re-directs to it, and the article itself links to this thread now.

Appreciate all the hard work by y'all on this one.

Thank you Chase for your attention to our cause. So many of us have championed this feature for over a decade. Former Madden producer Ian Cummings once PATCHED the broadcast cam into M10. He also went on to say that our original thread requesting the patch was "the greatest OS thread ever".

For those looking for a unique and new Madden experience, I dare you to try this camera.

great article.
like the author/writer of this article I use the broadcast for run plays.. then I switch to wide view/all 22 for pass plays.

That work around where you press the stick twice to widen the view also triggers some sort of interception bug. Ive thrown 5/6 pics in a row using this work around.

EA just needs to back the line of scrimmage more to teh far left or far right pending which direction the offense is going. EA wastes too much real estate with teh current broadcast camera.


Another thing the could do is with broadcast cam is zoom out after the ball is in play . the deeper the pass play the more the camera zooms out. like TEcmo

or EA could just bring back the old school madden feature where you'd have little pop up screens of the receivers as they run their routes. (would get annoying though)

What a magnificent article Chase...the detail is top notch. You've managed to capture the ENTIRE essence of what we've been crusading for. Thank you for quoting me as well...I've extremely honored.

I miss when they had the stadium specific broadcast cams in Madden 12. Don’t know why they’d remove them.

Bring back the passing windows! They could even make them dynamic depending upon how open the receiver is

It's like bizarro world here. If you mention broadcast cam on 2k forums it turns into a big debate lol Is there a new broadcast cam mod for Madden 21 PC?

Great article. Along with sliders, camera angle is the biggest factor in trying to recreate a sim experience within the limitations of the game engine, that goes for any sports game. Perfect example is FIFA, which becomes a completely different game altogether on Pro cam.
My preferred camera in Madden Human vs CPU has been Zoom cam (Passing Cam ON). Unlike Madden, Classic, All-22, etc. where games turn into big-play fests full of 80 yard TDs, the games on Zoom cam have a real "10 yard fight" feel to them where you're building drives and scrapping for every yard. That said, all the Madden games (at least since Frostbite) animate so poorly and look so ugly with the behind QB cam, Zoom or otherwise.
I've never even given a second thought to Broadcast cam in Madden, but I'm gonna give it a try. Once again, great article!

GREAT article....not sure why i never gave this much thought. really got more into 2K once they changed their default camera to broadcast view. not sure why madden never made the switch. heck, even tecmo super bowl made this work beautifully. i'll give it a try and see what happens. this view also came to my mind back in NFL 2K5 because of their wonderful halftime highlights would be shown in this broadcast view and it's much more realistic.

"However, there is no doubt custom cameras should exist by now in Madden."*

Well there was a time when the custom camera did exist.* Suspended memory is what is holding this game back.

"?These companies talk so much about how to engage and bring in more people to a game and not scare them off. I would argue new users who come in and play Madden for the first time will see a game that does not look like what they see on TV.*"

Why must the primary efforts be focused on the new user and mollifying their experience? This is ridiculous.

Great article. I completely agree with tv screen's now rectangular vs square that Broadcast view should be the way to go. Where the solution is with the old Tecmo Super Bowl games. Essentially it's Broadcast view, however, tilted.
They would also have avoid any zoom in feature which would minimize the field. Players still look too small even with modifications people have made to Madden camera angles.

Just take a look at the old Tecmo Super Bowl games on YouTube and imagine that camera angle on Madden. The only modification that would have to be made are the downfield blindspots when throwing the ball deep. Again since the tv screens are now rectangular this shouldn't be a difficult issue to fix.

why is madden's cam SO zoomed out? comapred to 2k football which isn't so far - to me that's one of the bigger issues - Idk why, maybe the FOV is wider in 2k? I hate seeing 1/2 screen as backfield.

broadcast looks way better

[sheredia]

exactly, hamburgerpimp97.......the TVs now are widescreen, USE IT!!!! if they can let you customize the broadcast view, it would be great.  i tried all the cameras. all-22 is nice, but a little too far away for me. but it works. would work  better if i could customize it. broadcast didn't work for me since i couldn't see down the field for passing and defending pass plays. BUT if you could have somehow all-22 combined with broadcast view, it would be perfect.?

[sheredia]

here's a suggestion EA, include a tecmo super bowl mode, where it has an old-school graphics option AND up-to-date graphics option (sort of like MLB the show did). fans would eat it up. the yard is no NFL street, that's for sure. just another cash grab for microtransactions and NFL blitz (even though loads of fun) won't be touched by the NFL anymore due to the violence.

Great article Chase! Love it! Now if we can get EA to at the very least add this as a camera option and hopefully give us custom cam!

Re: Playing On Broadcast Cam

I love the broad cast camera . I just learn the tours and the timing . If they are out of picture , I time it and let it rip. Sometimes you get some nice animations this way. I try to play on pro.

I do too I tried to find some sliders on pro that make sense anyone got ideas
