Why the obsession with broadcast cam?

Anyways good luck to you guys.

Oh I agree. Like I posted in the other thread, If I could only have 1, the editor would be it. Since we can "wish" for multiple things though I'll keep "Wishing" for the cam.

I don't get where playing football on a video game and watching a real game on tv have anything to do with each other. When you play shooters do you wish you had a wide view of the battle field instead of being down in the middle of the fight? Makes no sense to me at all and it's a big reason I probably won't be able to get into Madden this year. I know everyone is enamored with that presentation, but to me those static boring shots will get old real fast. Having said all that I do agree that there should be options for everyones preference, but I just hope it's the kind of thing that they can implement once and then not have to spend much time on from year to year.

Thank you and congrats to u guys for getting roster edits in dynasty mode Options are good for all!

broadcast camera option should already be in. it's ridiculous to have several versions on next gen and still have zero camera options.

As far as I've understood, bc cam won't even be an option this year, I mean in caoch mode or cpu v cpu you are forced to play in bc cam, you can't switch to a vertical view, every game mode has its own cam. Is this true?

I'd rather have a first person camera than broadcast.

LOL , give it up Sky, just tell people you want it and let them worry about the rest...

Are there actually a lot of people wanting broadcast cam or is it just a loud minority?

To be honest I don't really understand it either but it seems important to a lot of people so I"m hoping those who want it get what they like. And I'll also chime in that if it's there, although to me it looks unplayable, I probably would try playing with it and hell, who knows, maybe I'd even like it. I do know one thing, this will make a nice addition for when I've had a few cold adult beverages and just want to play coach mode!

After playing ESPN football that had that first person camera I really thought it ended up being more of a gimmick than anything. Fun to play for 5 minutes but impossible to use on a regular basis. I will say that first person mode would be immensely fun if they had the option to view it as a replay camera so after the play is over you could step into a players shoes but other than that I just don't believe with today's technology a first person playable camera will ever work.
