Agreed 100%. I would strongly consider buying this game if I could have a more pulled out camera, ala Madden. It is simply way too close to the action and I get totally lost on Defense most of the time. I also hate that you have to be stuck looking behind the Defense (while playing Defense) instead of being able to swing the camera around to a more conventional view. It really makes me mad when companies try to get too cute for their own good, a simple set of camera options (with one option being a pulled out camera) would rectify this problem easily. The camera that we are stuck with ruins the game for me, and that's sad because I see a lot of stuff that I do like....oh well, maybe next year.

No offense, because you have a right to your opinion.....but I find it sad and disheartening that people are not giving this game a chance because of the camera. I think the camera in this game is more realistic then the god view in Madden. You shouldnt be able to see the whole field, because football isnt played that way.

What a piece of crap this is. After scoring all off turnovers (the first was a 109 Yard Missed FG return, second was a sack with the QB fumbling the ball way into the air and the NOSETACKLE picking it off and running past everyone for the TD), but now we block a punt (lol) and the punter picks it up. We tackle him, theres a HUGE dogpile (like 10+ people laying on him. He stands up and starts running in a circle and the play is STILL ACTIVE. We tackle him again, same thing, he just stands up through the pile and continues to run. This is so bugfilled and being so close to release you know its the final build.

Not to mention the blocking is terrible. And Ugh @ the camera.

Well, back to playing a game of dogpile the punter.

I like the camera angle personally in most situations. My only issue with it right now is the fact that tackle alley and the running game in game seem to have different camera angles. In game it wont let me see in front of my RB on outside runs and that really gets to me. I would rather it be more centralized behind the RB so I could look downfield and then make moves accordingly.

For personally the camera on defense isn't a problem at all, as long as I control one player throughout the whole play.

The only legitimate problem I am having with the camera is when passing in terms of it being hard to read deep routes correctly.

I really do like the camera overall though, just for the fact that is is entirely new and different than what we are used. Getting crushed from the blind side and never seeing it coming for example is incredible.

I haven't run into one bug in about 4 hours of playing the demo. I honestly have no idea what demo your playing to call it a piece of crap.
