I agree with you. I'm just saying that everyone, even EA, has a limit on resources. I'm just wondering if what ever DCAM is costing, will be worth the loss of resources that could be spent elsewhere. Will it be better and add to the immersion? It has to be. Can't help but be. I'm not disputing that. What I'm saying is that will the cost of doing it in the grandiose way that EA typically does things, even if they are essential things, be worth it?
Could they have made an immersive presentation upgrade without spending "X" amount of dollars on DCAM? Considering 2K did just that, I'm going to say yes. If Tiburon had been even remotely trying to recreate Football broadcast before, and were unable to do it, I'd say yeah, they need this whole DCAM thing. But they haven't, so all I'm asking is will the delta between DCAM and hiring NFL film crews and just actually trying to do broadcast angles by approximation, be so great that someone who has never read the blogs would really notice and say "yeah, that's much better and worth what ever it cost"? I don't know that, but I would tend to doubt it. And if, IF, that is the case, then how could I not at least ponder whether SOME of the reason why EA went this route is because, like I said, they like to get their bylines of how they "changing the industry".
At the end of the day, I do feel that something is a little different this year. Probably because I'm an idiot. And I do think that they are showing signs of acknowledging that they may not have been doing a lot of thing the right way, but the company has given me reason that at least make my suspicions plausible. That's all I'm saying.
