I've seen lots of intro's get shown at the same angle as the one in the Madden vid of Ray Lewis, so I don't think they missed here. Plus, the example vid you posted, LB, was of course a fan-made vid; a network would at least typically only show that angle for a bit before switching to something closer and more field-level, like...

Here is an example I snatched from a Ravens broadcast:



Madden 10:



I captured both at the exact point where Ray does his high knee stuff to show the similarity in the amount of body being shown. The biggest difference is that the real life one is capturing Ray from the front and the Madden one is capturing at the back. The Madden one is a little more zoomed-in and lower for the purpose of being panoramic to include more points of scene (For example, you can see effects, the field, camera men, miscellaneous characters in the background, the crowd, the stadium structure, and the sky); it's an artistic decision that networks make pretty much on a shot-to-shot basis with some being more creative than others. I'd say NBC is starting to creep up into being as creative as FOX has been, so a shot with this many points would make sense with Madden's network theme being NBC-influenced.

I'd imagine that the intro's will have different shots randomly cued--some from the front, some from the back--so at some point we're likely to see it run the full gambit.

This is a great day, gentlemen

thanks a million buddy, it worked like a charm

NICE! It looks like Ray Lewis is doing the "Dirty Bird" dance on that video, but they could have made that a little longer and in different angles. Over all EA is doing a killer job!

Glad they added much more presentation, but doesn't it remind us a lot of 2k?
