Hold A to showboat.
You can't jump, players do it automatically when you get into position.
Not sure about the DL thing, but I don't think there is a faster way of doing it.

I believe holding LT (focus) on defense increases the chance of your player going up to make a play on the ball.

Before I watched that I was thinking there's no WAY that can be real! Nice work on Wave 5...I have actually beat every score on the first 4 waves but he wailed on me on Wave 5 !!!

But again, I just think people are use to the typical camera view...yeah it's awkward at 1st but like anything new & different you get use to it.

It's not even close to replicating it. I am sorry there's no way this cam is more "sim" or realistic than any other. You just can't replicate the things I brought up with that type of cam on a 2d medium. You simply can't.

That is like saying the behind the car cam in racing games is exactly the same as the in car cockpit cam since neither are realistic. If that was the case Left Tackles would not get paid as much as they do compared to other lineman in a predominantly right handed quarterback league.

It is called the blindside for a reason since you are unable to see the hit coming. I don't understand the persistent complaining when it is obvious the reasoning behind the camera. The 3rd person cam is without question much more "realistic" than the over the top cam by leaps and bounds. If neither of them are realistic as you say then why not argue just as vehemently for over the top cameras in all games including GTA, Medal of Honer, Splinter Cell.

Your dislike I can surely guess is not over realism but of ease of use. If the camera is too difficult for you to use then don't play the game. I think the camera is fine (not perfect) and does a great job at attempting to simulate the feel of being on the field with limited vision as it would be. No different than a game company coming out with a racing game and only allowing you cockpit cam. Would you be so vehemently against that as well. It's been done before and been very successful.

I disagree that the closer, on the field view isn't more realistic. Though not perfect. This type of camera in true 3D would be amazing though!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm kind of eager to see what some of these teams look like with NFL names/unis. I really think creating the NFL could kick this game up a notch.

I really really hope there's a reasonable way for us to share roster files. There's no way I'm putting in the legwork to recreate the NFL for myself.

It'd be AWESOME to have an "OS Standard NFL BB Roster" that we all can agree upon using when playing eachother online...

I can' dream can't I?
