Defensive RTG camera still needs work, it's in way too close. To give an example, on one memorable play I was trying to play in a DE dropback zone. The QB rears back and throws one my direction, and I think he's throwing to a deep receiver so I start to drop back in anticipation of turning and chasing...at that moment a WR sprints in from off the left side of the screen into my zone, catches the ball right in front of me and starts to turn upfield. I had no idea he was even there because the camera was so engrossed in letting me see myself to give me a decent view of the field.

Speaking of views, the fields look really pretty, though I'm disappointed to see that player names on the back of jerseys are still laughably under-sized. Madden's jerseys look so realistic from the rear, so it's especially jarring to still see that super-skinny font on the back of my NCAA guys.
I agree, though I will say the endzone text is very pixelated, depending on the length or the word(s). A five-letter word is very large and pixelated.

As for the camera, a similar play happened. I ran a go route with my WR and ended up beating the CB, safety nowhere in sight. The QB threw the ball, I saw the target location, I thought I was home free. The camera had other plans, as it wouldn't allow me to see the ball trajectory. Basically, I thought it was a lob, when it was in fact a sort of bullet, so I mistimed the button press. I will say, it seems like sometimes animations react late, especially catching, but other than that it's fun.

I think it does seem like the offense avoids you. Even as a dafety, I'd drop to the left half. The QB would throw to the other side. I say, ok, lets see what happens when I have to drop opposite field. Qb throws into coverage on the right side. I ended up dropping to the middle, and I tried to bait the QB into throwing what looked like a open post route in the endzone. The QB just threw into the flats.
