Panning back and up a bit I think can help in this area.

      I'm not sure if there is such thing as a perfect camera angle, and I like the default camera at times but others I don't. Also, don't you realize "real life" NFL players can see behind their heads? Their head may be facing straight ahead but their eyes are facing up looking at the live stadium TV screen to see who's behind them. You won't be able to do that in this game so by golly it's not realistic!
      Lol nice. But yea I definitely agree and I have no doubt in my mind they will make those type of adjustments in BB2. I just know when I played and got a little bit of open field, my eyes were mostly ahead. You are really moving too fast to look around. You trust your instincts and try to get the most yards possible. That is what I do in BB and I gain yards by doing so. Look for defenders overpursuing, wait for your linemen and only use RT at the right times.

      I just bought UFC2010 and currently wishing it was BB. I can't wait for next week.

        Doesn't everyone realize what SONY is doing. Something MS did. Only Gold will get it early. I know that will be Sony's reasoning behind why they will charge you soon for "certain" online services. Access to things that are free on PC and somehow charging people money equals early demos? What? How does that happen? I never understand why MS people put up with stuff like that. I guess I will wait for reviews first to decide if to buy it.

          Ouch. I feel bad for you PS3 guys... Tecmo first, now this. Do they hate football over there or what?
          The BB team is not exactly doing much to endear themselves to me. I was looking forward to getting some time to play the demo before the retail version came out, but I guess that it's just too much to ask that the PS3 fans be treated equally with the 360 fans. I understand that it's probably Sony's fault that the demo won't be out today and not the guys at 505/NM, but they were originally planning to release the demo June 8th anyway...

          Granted, I already have BB fully paid for on pre-order at Gamestop (traded in some recent games I've finished and got $60), but if I didn't I would be very hesitant to pick it up at this point. A lot of things that have gone on have given me the impression that the PS3 version might not be up to snuff with the 360 version.

            It was originally supposed to be released June 8th, but they finished quicker than expected and put it out there to be certified by MS and Sony. Its not Natural Motions fault Sony is lazy. Thats why its beneficial to have both systems so you dont lose out.

              Bad news. I wanted to try it on PS3 too to see if there were any differences.

                The quote below came from Rob, the associate producer of BB which was posted on the BB forum this morning (after someone asked when the PS3 demo would release)...

                "It's out of our hands now and with Sony. We fully expect it to release today."

                Sony dropped the ball, they were given the code in plenty of time to put it out before release. And this thread is for impressions, perhaps take this discussion to a separate thread? If not it's gonna be 30 pages of

                  So apparently you can block every single field goal attempt. Take control of the linebacker lined up just behind the defensive line and move him over a few feet so hes in between two of the linemen. You will be unblocked every time. Hit up on the RS to dive at the ball. Done it 10 times in a row now. Im sure this will be abused as hell online.

                            I still can't explode as fast as my other linemen, it's like I'm in slow motion. Also, when you go into aggressive mode it zooms the camera in so sometimes you can't see the ball. In that case the only way to time your rush is to watch the player next to you - so of course you still get off slower than them. Unless it has to do with ratings, I'm using the LE so maybe I'll try a stud RE on a good team.

                            Currently though this is ruining my enjoyment of playing a DL, which is what I played in High School football so I can't re-live the good old days of blowing up QB's .

                            DB's and LB's are a blast though...

                              Im guessing since we didn't get a Ps3 demo maybe it comes out June 1st on tuesday when the next Ps Store updates..I dont know but that would be dumb

                                Here is an example of what I was talking about regarding the defensive camera (how you can select your own custom angle prior to the play with the right stick.)

                                Here is the pre-play default camera for the CB. Not bad in long yardage situations if you're expecting a pass...

                                default1.jpg

                                And here is the post snap view. I don't like how the camera jerks to the right right after the snap, I think it's distracting...

                                default2.jpg

                                Now here is a custom set angle I made prior to the snap. It's got a nice view of the QB, RB's, TE and the camera still moves with the guy I'm covering nicely. The beauty is that the angle will stay in this position after the snap unlike the default angle mentioned above...

                                custom1.jpg

                                After the QB dumped off the ball to the RB I was able to read it and cut across the field without having to adjust the camera at all. I actually got in on the play and whacked the RB's head when he was tackled...

                                custom2.jpg
