You guys should try the overhead cam

This game plays totally different with the overhead cam. You can see the holes open up and get in better position defensively due to being able to see your DB's. You can also see your WR's on offense.

I'm almost convinced that the game plays differently from this view, also. By that, I mean you can do things that you can't do on Classic or NCAA (run faster, etc.)

Re: You guys should try the overhead cam

I'll give it a try tonight probably. Do you play on a widescreen TV? Has anyone else seen what this looks like in widescreen?

Re: You guys should try the overhead cam

Is this basically the blimp view where all the players look like ants?

I won't like that so I hope not. But I'll give it a look-see.

No its not the "blimp" view. I always use overhead. I don't like the running game as much with the overhead cam just because it feels alot different. But the passing game and the defensive game is great with this cam.

Two downsides of it though...

1. you can not use it in a dome.

2. the new rotating screen at the beginning of a kickoff/punt do not work with overhead cam.

I still think its the best cam around especially on defense.

I really wish EA would add a quick switch button for views. That way I could switch to classic for kickoffs and run plays and then overhead for everything else. Without having to go to the menu everytime.

Though they also need to make it where overhead can be used in domes.
