Also depth perception in a camera angle like this particularly throwing the ball downfield is problematic. Maybe it's just me, but I really don't have a great feel for distances down the field in relation to where players are from each other. I think that's due to the lack of depth perception from this camera angle. While I understand people like it, I disagree it's more sim like. I've played the demo quite a bit this afternoon. While imo, there's a lot to like to the game, and I am for sure picking it up on release day, I am not a fan of the camera at all. Feels like I am playing football with one eye closed from a sensory perspective.

Absolutely agree with this statement. The sad thing is I would probably buy this game if it wasn't for the camera angle and I don't think I'm the only one. It just makes more sense from an economics points of view to appeal to as many as possible and I just get the feeling the camera angle is really going to turn some people off. I kinda felt the same way about AP2K8, because they didn't have a franchise mode and they included generic players. So close, yet a couple little things completely screw it up.
