The camera is the epic fail for me with this game. I'm sure it will work for some but I'm not into it.

This game has a lot going for it graphically, but because of the camera it's very difficult to see how good the Euphoria engine works in a football game.

This first person never works in sports games especially football games because "feel" and peripheral vision are extremely important. Without that the camera is useless IMO.

I give them credit though, they went out and tried something completely fresh. A couple of additions and the game could be enjoyable.

The camera is taking a lot of heat but I love it. Working through a progression as the QB instead of seeing the whole field is awesome. Not to mention this is the first football game to have true blindside hits. Great scene I saw earlier, made a tackle with the LB and as he celebrated the tackle he tripped over a downed DT. It made me laugh out loud. Absolutely amazing demo.

You have to get out of the mindset of other football titles and going all aggressive / turbo mode to run. Instead of holding down the right trigger, hold down the left one for much better control of your runner. I too was using the right trigger too much and found I had no control over the runner because he was in aggressive mode. If you do the left trigger you will find you have a lot more control over your runner.

Game play is unbelievable

No camera options not so much

Still finding the defenses to be too dominate though. Once I got used to the camera on defense, the CPU now can't move the ball on me at all even on hard with a worse rated defense than their offense.

CPU AI QB just isn't cutting it right now no matter what team/qb it is.

seriously, everyone stay away from aggressive mode on defense....until you get the hang of the game....heck even then you might still rather stay away from it...

I look at it like the Power Swing in MLB The Show.....you have to know what you are doing or nothing good happens.....where as Contact hitting in MLB The Show is like Focus mode on Defense.

stay away from Aggressive mode, unless you have a clear shot at someone.....until you get the hang of playing different positions on Defense......and I generally stay using one position, instead of switching during a play.

also use your team to their strength and not their weakness... I like using Chicago..but I know that in a 2min demo, its hard to really use them properly and I'm forced to pass more...which isn't how you want to use them...

if most of you want to pass around, use Indy....and mix up your plays....the CPU is pretty smart.....

I know it is hard with this view and you don't know who will be double covered or what....but what you can do is

pay attention to the Safeties.....pre-snap and post snap.....remember your original play and where your secondary WR will be....as well as Rb/Fb going to the flats....

try not to take sacks, and get rid of the ball in 2-3 seconds, each time.

What are you seeing AI wise...are AI controlled players playing as they should be?

Love the game has great potential just think having just the one camera angle is going to turn a lot of folks off and could turn this into more of a niche type game.
