This meaning that Broadcast Camera will not be available for us "Casual Sim Gamers" that actually work the thumbs. Did I hear this right?

Totally unacceptable. Why take the time to make the camera and then stop at the snap.

That broadcast cam better be playable, I was banking on it being so. It's been in Madden now for 2 years, no excuse for it not to be in NCAA. Otherwise, everything else seemed like old news. Coach mode sounds great for the simulating guys though.

Thats terrible on EA's part no doubt but I think that that it would be equally or more terrible if there wasn't an inclusion of any other playable camera angles announced..now that would be inexcusible...Has anyone heard of any new camera angles yet?...Ahh forget it it I forgot if it was included it wouldve been announced already...things that aren't included aren't mentioned until right before shipment...LOL..

Straight garbage. Why in hades do you cut out YOUR BIGGEST NEW ADDITION in online and OD Play???

That is indescribably awful. Sucks all of the atmosphere out of playing your opponent.

It's available in OD games. Just not in ranked, and random online games.

The rationale is valid--forcing gamers to sit through intro's during random ranked games will lead to nothing but problems.

If this is so, I finally understand why the game is not at the level it should be at by now.

There is this disconnect between how the Gaming community defines things and how the Dev's defines things.

According to Ben, Hardcore Franchise Sim's are those that play from a Coach/Watch point of view. (not an attack, just pointing out the way he defined HFS)

I can't find one thread/post by those (me included) who have been asking for this playable point of view since Madden added it, to be injected in this manner.

Not one post asking for this view to be injected in this manner.

If you're going to inject this camera view in a manner that is totally opposite from those who've actually been asking for it, why include?

If it's in, that means "Somebody" chose to Locked it so that the Thumber's can't utilize it.

UNLOCK the camera view for all!!!

What's so hard about making injections Optional for gamers to choose?


Also, what's up with the questions they choose to ask/answer?

3 questions about maskcots
Help me to see the point of these questions!

The game looks good, but to choose which gamers get to enjoy Broadcast Camera view, and exlude the others.... (after 3 years of community begging!!!)

I'm trying to comprehend how an agreement, could come to inject it this way.

are you sure? the entrances weren't in user vs. user games in OD in NCAA 11. In games versus the CPU(which are offline, even in OD), yes they are there.

it sounded like he was trying to say the issue is with sync/connectivity problems, although I could have misheard it.

Well said.Maybe just maybe we will be able to switch the camera in controller setup to a user and still have the angle. This actually worked for NCAA 06 and for NFL2k5.
