I just don't understand why everyone is up in arms over it when the 5 or 6 guys I play this game with cannot for the life of us figure out what the benefit to the camera is.

Because it is playable after some practice and offers a more authentic experience in terms of presentation. Guys like me want everything to appear on the game like it does on TV. Replays, cameras, dreads, etc. Those matter big time to us and really add to the experience.

Off topic, but while typing this I had the idea of in real life, they had the camera view placed like it is in game via sky cam. Would that not be cool?

yeah, I don't get it either. I thought the whole point of the broadcast cam was for coach mode(or to spectate the cpu vs. cpu). I find it hard to believe people actually want to play the game from that angle.

I can see it for basketball, soccer, or hockey, but not for football.

The same reason people who play NBA 2K or MLB The Show from broadcast cam. Some people just like it that way because it looks the way it does when you watching a game on tv.

I don't think I could play a real, AA or Heisman difficulty game with a broadcast cam

I'm pretty sure either ESPN, or CBS has begun to do this. They place it behind the QB, and either slowly pan out, or go back to the broadcast camera. It definitely looks neat when they do this.

I forgot about that. It must not have shown anything worthwhile.
