NCAA Football 12 Video - Brand New Coach Cam Discussion

[SkinsBoYee]

To not make this an actual playable camera when we have been screaming for this for the past 5 years is simply a slap in the face? Not Playable???? Wake up!

I'm not sure how you expect the broadcast cam to be remotely playable... You won't be able to see all of your receivers, You won't be able to hit holes correctly while running the ball, and how exactly are you going to make field goals?

I HATE the broadcast cam style they put in RTG on field goals/punts. I don't know why anyone would want to play an entire game that way. The main camera used now has its faults, don't get me wrong, but I just don't understand the frustration for not being able to play with the broadcast cam angle.

Oh wait. Didnt catch the nuance: this view is only available to you in Coach Mode. In other words: not a playable mode where you control the action.

Better than nothing, but would prefer full playability from BC cam.

Sounds like another feature being held back until next year.

Yet its playable in Madden. While this may not be your preferred angle of play, why not give the users more options? The fact that after 5 or 6 years on current gen, there is only one playable camera angle, is a disgrace.

Hell, Joe Montana Football on the Sega Genesis, had multiple playable camera angles.

For me, its playing it as if I were watching a TV broadcast. Simple.

Granted, it's not for everyone. There are alot of guys (those who post and I would imagine those who dont) who enjoy playing from that angle. To each his own.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Video - Brand New Coach Cam Discussion

OT: About the watching real games via those wire cams... Anyone remember like two or three years ago when ESPN showed a UNC vs Duke basketball game on ESPN and on ESPN2 they had like 9 different angles (exaggeration more like 5)? I'd be curious why they never did this for anything else, like a slow Saturday when The U isn't used for another game and do that?

I get having the option to play with BC. I hope they do implement it in the future for those who prefer it.I did sound kind of like a jerk, wasn't trying to be or flame.

And wow, I watched a video of someone playing with BC.. It would take me ages to get used to playing football sideways..

No it wouldn't. Chances are if you're a member of the OS NCAA community you're probably a die-hard NCAA gamer and have years of experience playing the game. Took me no time to learn. You'd be kicking tail in no time

No worries, bro. Didnt take it that way. We're all game fans @ the end of the day!

You might be surprised if you tried it. All I know is that when they had multiple angles available, that was my favorite to play from.

Well, for one it makes you rely more on timing your receivers routes and makes you do your defensive reads in 2-4 seconds like real QB's.
I found playing this angle:
1. eliminated the "30 yard drop" and "scramble from sideline to sideline" type of
gameplay. I know madden players who hate this angle because of the fact that you cant just drop back and heave ho.
2. makes the passing game more fun and realistic to play. Instead of just "drop and pop", now you have to really rely on timing.
3. Makes the player learn how to read defenses better.

To each his own though..

This +10. It's called preference. It's the same reason why not everyone drives the same type of vehicle or wears the same type of clothes. We want to enjoy the game with a different camera angle.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Video - Brand New Coach Cam Discussion

Good point voodoo.

One thing that was a feature in one of the PC games back in the day (I think maybe it was Operation Sports Football or something like that) was a picture-in-picture feature. You would drop back, hit a button to cycle through receivers to see how open they were (or weren't). It was a small window in the corner of the screen that would pop up. Made it an awful lot like reading receivers and deciding where to go with the ball.

Now THAT would be a great feature for the future. Would really ramp up the realism factor when throwing the ball.

Food for thought...

Re: NCAA Football 12 Video - Brand New Coach Cam Discussion

it's very easy to throw deep passing routes on broadcast cam. u just have to watch whether or not the receiver has a step on the DB 1st 10 yards. at the same time, locate whether S will come up or play deep. it's very simple--not hard at all. it's great playing human vs cpu.

In other words, what happens in real life.
