If this were basketball I could even understand it more, but football you must see most of the field.

Exactly...

Video looks good, but can they please fix the names on the jerseys? They're way too small and skinny. They were near-perfect the last few seasons. I don't understand why they'd get worse when everything else seems to have gotten better.

Just to play on the other side of this, Id like to say that while it appears tough to play with a lot of those angles, I still firmly believe that well thought-out innovation can overcome a lot of hurdles. For example, I played a PC action game about 15 years ago where the angles kept moving on the fly but it was intuitive to the point that you never lost sight of what you were doing. I played another game years later that did similar things but the camera shots were cut up into scenes and was very cinematic. It was like playing a movie but you had complete control of your guy. Things like that brought to a football game would be revolutionary. Some will love it, some will hate it. It goes with the territory.

For now, I would like to see just the ability to choose more than one angle. The question in my mind is, how many people would use the different angles as opposed to a niche feature like accelerated clock? Are cams a niche feature? And how many requests have both features gotten? Everyone will see it differently depending on what faction you belong to.

I would personally take multiple and adjustable angles over accelerated clock, but would trade both for custom soundtracks... but in the pre-Madden-is-the-only-NFL-game-in-town world, I wouldve been more upset not to get all three...

Was this video intro footage? or replay footage? It wasnt in game right?

The game looks good, but the music is still horrible. EA should start using music by good bands instead of 3 chord crap bands.

It's in game but just from replay angles.
