My first impression is that the buttons display (X,Y,B,A) seems a bit too big. 2nd, LOVE the new field texture. 3rd, worries me a bit that the outside part of the field won't be noticeable, say my X receiver is running a quick out route, according to this photo, it would be quite hard to see him on the screen.
Please, oh please tell me the camera changes for defense. If it does, than this will be an absolutely amazing new addition to the game.
If not, than this was a half-done cool addition to the game.
I know it is not traditional to play defense looking over the players shoulders but with a view like this, it is a must. Playing a safety or linebacker would just be a nightmare with how far away your player is.

If the camera changed for the DEF then it would be almost impossible to switch control players on D, as you can only see what's in front of you and not what's happening with WR/DB etc.. + after the qb throws the ball or the rb advances past the LOS the camera would have to make a spin (which would disrupt the flow of the game imo)
Or maybe I'm not understanding what u mean by "changing the camera for defense"
i think it really needs to be moved closer to the qb at least a little. there is too much unused space between the camera and the qb, its 10 yards behind him. it would feel better to me if it was moved in to about 5 or 6 yards behind the qb. but then you wouldnt be able to see the flats i guess.
As somebody mentioned earlier, the reason why it's so far back is most likely because otherwise we wouldn't be able to see the flats. I'm more worried about not being able to see the outside receivers from the LOS.
I'll play w/ it for sure (at least for a little while)... But they really need to bring back custom camera angles.
thats what im saying man..bringing back customizable, playable camera options is like an "EASY" button for any sports game....its a done deal an everyone is happy
as for this screenshot it looks good but looks may be deceiving ... is this the view if your on defense??..if it is, its a fail... because its way too far down field in back of the action to be able to negotiate depth of the players/yards ...ill give it a try though for sure im sick of the standard camera
me personally i liked the zoom camera in madden 12 especially on D..it really got me into controlling my d-lineman and working for sacks...on offense i thought if they zoomed out just a little bit more on pass plays it wouldve been sweet because it was hard to throw any sideline routes...hell its hard to throw sideline routes on the standard cam w/ physic DBs but that should be fixed this year
overall i think this NEW zoom camera needs a little nudge forward upfield just a little bit closer to the action on a pass play
I loved my custom hybrid Zoom Cam for 2k
Really letting users set their own would be best but heres a few musts
1. You should be able to zoom out to see the whole field pre-play on both Offense and Defense
2. When you Zoomed it Out with the trigger for your pre-play adjustments ...I want to see the frickin names of the WRs and LBs/DBs!(Like in the vid above)
Bring this over from the other thread...
Obviouslyeverybody wants to have the ability to edit their own cams...
But if they can get it close to my vid for the Zoom cam then Id be happy enough
Its a little hard to judge the cam just from a screen alone....Really want to see how it looks in motion pre-play(Ability Zoom out all the way with trigger), running plays ( Zoomed In), Passing Play(Zoomed to see the majority of the field)
We need to get someone whose going to attend E3 to get us some good footage of it
