But all rationalisation aside, the answer to this question is deceptively easy. Will beyond broadcast angles benfit the game? The answer is yes. Then it is right for the producers to have these angles. But then again, thats just my opinon.

I agree with this 100%, but then again my sense of immersion is not tied to the mimicry of what we see in actual television broadcasts.

I wonder if all folks who are so insistent on actual ESPN camera shots and/or angles desire to play the game in broadcast angle only? It would seem as if they would, as the default gameplay camera would seem to me to be the most immersion destroying angle of all.

Now having to play in broadcast view would literally be a gamekiller for me, but otherwise it wouldn't bother me if people were actually able convince EA to use only "real life" camera angles. I'm just so surprised by the furor, this board is the only place I've ever seen so many people so adamant about this aspect of presentation. Actually wanting EA to do less than their "best" in this particular instance.(best of course, being a matter of perspective)

Russ and Ben are terrible at promoting the game on account of they say the same thing every year, they sound like politicians. Just show great gameplay and stop saying it is an early build. Just show it when its ready for the masses.

Page 1 and page 6 are such polar opposites....lol.

For me its about blurring the line of what I watch on tv and what I play. These "beyond broadcast" angles EA is doing have been done before in the PS1 era of gaming. It's not like it's something new. Then when Madden 2001 and NFL 2k1 came and started using cameras closer to the ones used on tv everyone marveled at how great the games looked because you could mistake them for actual games. IMO it's just the better way to go.

Either way with EA/Tiburon why does it have to be one or the other? Why can't they use both? IMO that would be the best way to do beyond broadcast. Have cutscenes and Pre-Post play cuts with authentic angles and mix the replays with beyond broadcast cameras. They could even give the camera angle a cool name since that seems to be EA/Tiburons thing.

As far as gameplay angles, It's not my thing to have broadcast angles on a football game, but I think they should have it for CPU VS CPU games.
