Considering the Playbook was about presentation and mentions visual upgrades to the uniforms cleat talk fits in. There is a huge section of NCAA and Madden fans who want perfection from a visual standpoint which includes every aspect of the uniform.

I do agree that the gameplay needs serious overhaul, this was not a gameplay post.

Did I say you can't talk about cleats? I said no cleats vs gameplay posts. Meaning, some people get mad about other people posting about how much they want new cleats thinking they don't care about gameplay. And the other way around. This isn't the thread for that. Its been happening in multiple threads.

I wonder if Broadcast Cam will still be available for Coach Mode and CPU vs. CPU mode...

Actually that quote comes from Deion Sanders.

I actually know that but that's from EA's blog about the up coming title. So when you quote Kenyon Barner as an example that's been around for years and you finally acknowledge this sentiment, you'd think they'd completely follow through.... Right?

Those are the angles from the new game.. he's asking for comparisons of these screenshots with similar shots to last year's game.

I would like to see that, too. If the field is indeed bigger, that is great news.

In my OP I tried to explain what I meant.

The player size vs field size ratio changes depending on how far or close the cam is.

As the cam is pulled further back, the player size has to be adjusted (smaller) also, which in many ways expands the field within that camera view (not that they actually made the field bigger).

This may also account for why some of the write-ups have noted more fluid movements/play, as much of the gliding/shifting is removed/hidden at the angle and height of the view (we can't see).

The adjusted ratio will also allow movements/plays more space to run through vs being cut off (guys just standing there waiting).

I would say that this is what may be contributing to the "Fluid Play" that has been noted.
The view doesn't make every animation occur within a small box (close view).

Can't wait for the Demo to see for myself, but it's still a rent before buy for me.

When they say Coordinator Cam, I think of it as like the coordinator during games from the press box. So im guessing they mean coordinator cam as in watching film. Idk.

I guess 'coordinator' camera is better titled than 'Director of Football Video Operations' camera.

Very skeptical on how the zoom in feature of the coordinator/wide camera angle will work. This is essential to whether or not the camera will actually be able to be used in the game or just another great looking screenshot.

I don't think that the wide camera angle zooms in and I sure as hell hope that it doesn't.

It just bothers me when they ignore something as if it doesn't exist and then boast about something related. So if you're going to have the Art Department spend time on getting new uniforms and accurate uniforms but then don't follow through all the way, it makes no sense.

So instead of this


We get this


Instead of this


We get this


If they are going to show off and brag about how the Art Department put in those gloves that form a logo when you put your hands together, why not improve something people will actually notice outside of a cutscene?

Who else would buy a cleat package?

It severely pains me to say it but if the gameplay is as good as its potential this year, I would do it.

i don't know if cleats are something i'd pay for. A game like NBA 2k updates cleats without charging people (plus they allow you to create your own and edit colors). But if i'm buying a new uniform that in real life has a specific cleat that goes with that uniform, i'd expect those cleats to be included as part of the uniforms.

For example, i know these uniforms are already in the game now but HYPOTHETICALLY, if we had to purchase these uniforms in the store, i'd expect those crazy looking cleats to be included as part of the uniform.

That's a great point, they didn't do this last year did they? With specific cleats?

Those cleats are horrendous, but yea...they should be an option

2K does it the right way, they don't make you pay for all of the new shoes they have available or anything like that. They do so much updating it's unreal. They do a heck of a job.

Back to the topic, that new wide camera view is awesome! You can see the whole field now. It'll be nice to see the depth of the safeties and linebackers for a change.

Re: New Presentation Blog #2

Thats actually the coordinator cam.

That's the wide cam according to Pasta Padre's article.

According to EA this is the wide cam:
