EA could be on to something big here. What if they base the view on the runner's 'vision' rating and apply it to running plays as well. Good runners would have a wide view of the field similar to what we have now. Low vision runners would have the tunnel vision we see on kick off returns. That would finally give us a reason to use a slower runner with great vision (i.e. Emmitt Smith) over a fast runner with no vision.

This could potentially have a very profound and realistic effect on the running game.

I don't think a swiveling camera is the answer. The only thing you'll accomplish is increased sales of headache medicine. Peripheral vision could be accomplished by giving a wider view of the field like they do now. Good kick returners could have a huge view. See above post for details.

When you are running down the sideline, the lack of peripheral vision is lousy. I can't even see the tackler coming from the side to stiff arm or anything. Wider views or the option to turn it off would be greatly appreciated.

yeah, this is a good idea. I would be on board for this with running backs and other positions. As long as you have the option to turn it OFF.

I agree with you. The view we currently have is way too narrow but I like what EA was trying to accomplish. I like knowing that on kickoff returns I don't have to worry about cheesy loop d loops online. Hopefully they will refine it next year.

I remember the 2k series had "1st person football" with 1st person views a couple of years ago. It may still be in the game, not sure.

In any case the 1st person view is a great idea, but as Pared hinted at, the technology is not up to snuff just yet.

The idea presented earlier is a pretty good one... a wider field of view based upon your returners ratings...

HOWEVER, you set it up for cheesers to put the person with the highest rated speed and "vision" in at Punt/Kick returns... *sigh*

The person with the best vision and speed probably should be in there. For guys that don't play special teams, don't give them a good special teams vision. Madden has a kick return rating which this game needed on current gen.
