	"As gamers grow older they see more and more responsibilities being added to their lives such as work, wives, and children. We are seeing more and more of these gamers who have aged, but not grown out of the habit or addiction of gaming. With that number of aging gamers growing, games need to find ways to help make the games more pick up and play friendly."

Well to start with bring back all the different camera options from last gen. Madden is the ONLY sports game that sticks you with ZERO camera options.

I would really like a user adjustable camera though.

I want the view to be closer in and more straight with the field instead of farther out and over head like it is now. This way you are a part of the action and view the field more like the QB does and it would still allow you to see your WR's. We have a trigger button to quickly zoom out when you need to there is no reason the default view is so far from the action. The over head blimp view we are currently stuck with is more a remnant of the 2d era.

That is my biggest issue with the camera, it is zoomed out to far and it takes you completely away from the action, makes the players look like little midgets and makes running the ball way less interesting.

Some of us absolutely love playing in the broadcast view. Some of us think its the only way to play. Some of us think that those playing in the vertical view are actually weaker players then those playing in the broadcast view. Some of us Coach. Some of us actual play. The Majority of the us watch football from a broadcast view, and I know we are in the minority, but some of us like playing in that broadcast view as well.

EA is patching in Accelerated clock, fyi

I agree with the accelerated clock issue at #1 because it's the only way to keep time of possession and overall playcounts accurate which greatly affect statistics...

Statisitcs affect progression, progression affects franchise...etc...

I had just heard that earlier this afternoon, that's fantastic news. It's tremendous to see EA actually looking at what people want in a game and making effort to get it in. It seems like over the last couple of months we've seen this more than ever before. I hope it continues since that's great news for gamers in the future.
