Madden 09 Mondays Week 5: See All of the Action With the New Cam

[blackngoldfan]

I really like how the hash marks and numbers are faded on the natural grass field instead of being bright white. It gives it a realistic look IMO.

I am going to reserve judgment until I see the camera in action.

Well, the last paragraph says that there will also be "classic camera angles" included. So either the writer of the article does not know Madden has had only 1 camera angle on next-gen systems, or there will be classic camera angles, meaning multiple angles from last gen. I dunno. What do you think?

Looks great to me, very impressed...especially love the rumble cam when Moss takes off..that's awesome.

After seeing this... I'm not sure I like it, because it's kind of disorienting. The 2K series has the option where you can have the camera rotate for the QB and/or the ball carrier, and while it's not quite the same thing it doesn't work too well.

I think a better solution would be to have the right stick control the where the QB looks, and it could also serve as a way to look off any safeties trying to read the QB. Basically it'd be like a simplified vision cone, WITHOUT the ridiculous cone. It'd work like this:

-The field would be divided into three areas: left, center, and right. Flicking the stick once would would switch to the adjacent area, while holding it would allow you to switch from left to right and vice versa.

-For an out route to the left, a quick flick to the left with the right stick turns the QB's head and rotates the camera slightly... Just enough to see the route, but not to the point of swinging the camera so that it's hard to keep track of the action.

-For a streak play down the right hand side against a cover one, you flick left to throw off the safety, then hold it to the right until the camera rotates to make the throw.

-If you're looking left and throw right, your accuracy will drop, but if you keep the camera center then your accuracy will remain the same regardless of what area you throw to... In other words, keep it simple and don't penalize people unless they try to do something totally unrealistic.

Eh... Just a thought.

edit: And keep the movement with the left stick in relation to the field, and NOT the camera... Because that'd definitely throw people off.

"Since you can't see him, you're not quite sure if the corner is barreling down on him, if he fell down, or if you're completing a pass to the guy holding the down marker."

I have never seen a player "fall down" due to EA never putting something like that in the game.

You have a great idea IMO. Too bad EA will probably never come up with such a system.
