I think broadcast cams wont do it. Like the other guy said. You just cant play a football game with that kind of view. Unless you dont know football. And for all you people complaining about gameplay, they created something called locomotion this year. I know yall have been keeping up with it. Come on guys. Its not like any other company is making a college football game. So suck it up and stop all the crying

We have a right to be skeptical. If you're that easy to buy into a nice little label "locomotion", that's fine. But until I actually play the game, I'm not going to go overboard and be screaming "WOW THIS IS GOTY!!!". People had the same reaction last year when Madden came out and said they had "Pro-Tak". But there still were other areas of the game flawed. So until I get my hands onto the game, or at least see some gameplay vid, I'm not going to be fully down. You guys can buy into the cute little taglines if you want, but until I see it in action, I'm not sold yet.

Like i've been saying, if you don't like the game or you're not sold, then dont buy it. Its as simple as that.

i like everything i'm seeing except for the shot of the florida logo and the south carolina logo, that looks very much like the begginning to the madden game, can't remember if it was 09 or 10 but i don't like that, that looks arcade like

Shoot CBS.....man I want Versus coverage! LOL

Seriously tho, this is tight, and needed to be in the game, regardless to whether it should have been there already or not. I'm not expecting brilliance necessarily, but maybe they can surprise me in that regard. Just a switchup from what we've been having is nice to see still, it was getting stale. This should at least freshen the game up a little bit.

It's not about liking or not liking the game, it's about having enough information to make a decision as to whether it's a good game worth paying $60 on day 1 for or not. I'm still reserving my decision, is all I'm saying. Show me some gameplay, let me see how the demo plays, then maybe I'll be sold. But all of this rejoicing is premature without even seeing actual gameplay footage. But of course I'm talking to the guy who already said this.

The ESPN integration is cute, but it's nothing revolutionary. The real change that needs to be made in sports video games is for commentary, TV broadcasting, and analysis to be more dynamic. No two games should be alike. As of right now, everything is just a bunch of prerecorded phrases or canned cut scenes and what not that become very stale after two games. Games like FN4 and UFC Undisputed have moved to taking actual commentary from live broadcasts and integrating it into the game. If they could do that with these football games, that would even be a huge step up.

I was the same way a long time ago. I had to adjust to the flow of the game. Surprisingly though more than half of the people who use it also play with the view. You're right tho as you have to make a pre-snap read. But at least you tried it for a while where as others just call it useless because somethingthat is hard for the first 15 minutes means it's not any good.
