Defensive Camera - How Many Of Us Are Still Using It?

[Senator Palmer]

This was a feature that was long on the wishlist and finally made it in with Madden 15, but I was just wondering, after 5 months, how many of us are still playing with it.

I gave up on it pretty quick when the game came out. I thought that there would be an option for the camera to be a little farther back i.e. the "god perspective" we were accustomed to on offense, only reversed for the defense. My big issue was the way the axis of the camera would be placed based on the positioning of the player you were controlling.

I play almost exclusively as the MLB, so if I'm in a 4-3 stack, the camera's axis is centered perfectly down the center of the screen. But if I'm in an under front, or nickel, then it becomes a little disjointing trying to hit the gaps directly in front of you.

A few weeks ago I gave it a second chance. I still don't like the way the camera moves once the action starts, but I don't think I showed enough patience with it. It is pretty reaslistic in the way you're forced to cut down what you're looking at and focus on your keys, and be disciplined when you drop into coverage.

Thoughts?

Not me. After the 1st week when the game came out I was done with it. I am too use to seeing the entire field.

Puts you at too much of a disadvantage. Plus if you don't player lock the camera gets all out of wack

I want to, but the player movement is too sluggish this year and it puts me at a big disadvantage in my online league trying to play safety

Its very entertaining for me. offline and as FS . you get used to it after while

If it was the same camera as on offense, just behind the defense I would use it. As it is, the camera is unusable imo.

i love it...can get a little wonky if play goes to exact opposite side of field but overall it's a new way to play Madden on defense...i dig it

Do you ever use it at the linebacker level? That's why I'm going back and forth with it. I imagine if you're playing as a lineman, while the movement may be disjointing, your responsility is at the LOS, so it's a little more simplified. And if you're playing as a FS, nothing is behind you. That linebacker level is kind of the no man's land with it. You are responsible for so much run and pass, and a lot of times it isn't all in front of you.

KGun, do you use it competitively, or are you playing against the CPU?
