The new kick off camera view is annoying. Go back to the way it was in 11. Madden just wants to take us even farther away from the field. Who cares about tv angles, I am not watching a game, I am playing one.

Um, there's a big icon on the kick meter that says "Classic View" which does switch back to that angle. It was the same way last year.

Just posting these tweets I saw today, these are from Scott O' Gallagher a bigtime Madden critic who was at Community Day #2. Talking about the commentary this year. He is not a EA Gamechanger. Says he hated Madden 12. When they say a lot of complaints about Phil Simms not talking in the webcast, they are referring to him not talking on screen in the pre-game.

Scott O'Gallagher @ScottOGallagher
@SimFBallCritic I hear ya fam. Not only that, it's the most authentic group you could have!Buck/Aikman only other duo ppl could want

Sim @SimFBallCritic
@ScottOGallagher I agree with that all the way. In terms of Chemistry Nantz/Simms and Buck/Aikman do a great job.

28m Scott O'Gallagher @ScottOGallagher
@SimFBallCritic it's way better than what I expected. Anything that authentic is great.

Sim @SimFBallCritic
A lot of complaints about Phil Simms not talking in the webcast, but is that really a big deal?

Scott O'Gallagher @ScottOGallagher
@SimFBallCritic there shouldn't be. It's the best commentary we've had in Madden football since Madden&Michaels period.sounds great.

As far as I have seen, only by user controlled teams, and you had to manual change it. You couldn't set it in the menu.

I like cut scenes, but I am one of those ones who prefer to be up in the action at all times. I don't mind a quick pan out or something if it adds to presentation, but personally I don't want to be forced into the broadcast cam even for a play.

I'd like the option of choosing multiple cams in the menu(like the show offers for pitching/batting/fielding/etc...)

This is one of those things that is only going to bug a minor few, but still would be nice to have a complete game for all. Years ago this would have been being picky, but since other sports games have offered this for several years, I think it's a must really. Madden has to stay current with other sports games IMO

Why do some teams have such huge numbers on the jersey??

That is what I hope...I do believe it's from an early version but man the only thing that worries me is the fact that whatever we have seen in a video around this time is what we got when the game came out.

And there hasn't been a hyping of a particular date in the past with this much epic proportions.

Sounds alright just hope they improve the crowd a lot.

Since you mentioned that, here's a tweet I got from another game changer today.

Josh Davis @jpdavis1982
@markusfrieske @Steve_OS Cool glad to hear that, how did the crowd sound to you?

@jpdavis1982 @Steve_OS I absolutely loved my screen shaking and the crowd going bonkers after a home score.

I really wish they would bring back the camera shake at the line a la NCAA 2005. It was awesome playing on the road and the controller would start to rumble. Then you look at your play play pre-snap and all your receivers routes are shaking violently. The best part was when you made a big play right after that and the controller vibration would tone down and the routes would become less shaky. It was awesome.

Preaching to the choir. Home field advantage -- or the lack thereof -- has been a missed opportunity for the Madden team IMO.

I've read from the Madden team over the years that they feel there is no home-field advantage, but rather just some intangibles from playing on the road (fatigue, change of routine, etc). So they've hesitated in bringing HFA to the NFL game. So I've stopped asking for it.

Even though some may think it's cheesy, I thought HFA was well done in the NCAA games this generation.

Good grief. Have they ever heard of Arrowhead? What about Seattle? Of course there is home field advantage. Crowd noise is always an issue. Just look at the 11 false starts the Giants had against the Seahawks in 2007. Unbelievable.
