People are more prone to buy an arcade game for 2.99 then spending $40 on an unknown sports title.

This is how the franchise should've started out on consoles to begin with. I think they jumped in too quickly to try and do a full fledged game from this perspective. They need to break people in to this view slowly. Get them used to running from a third person perspective. Then when they come out with an 11v11 game again, the learning curve won't be as sharp.

As much as I want someone else to take a stab at making a Football Game, I'm also realistic in knowing that this is "The One" sport you can't tinker with.

We're at a point were the game must nail down the Football Immersion from what gamers have experienced themselves and see on TV.

If there 2nd release is similiar to the 1st, don't expect much.

I know they need to do something different to prevent any Legal infringement, but trying to introduce playing from a different perspective obviously didn't work

I hoped they've revamped the whole thing because I desperately want to give someone else a shot at bringing some Authentic Simulation Football into my home, but it seems like Simulation is not the Focus for this game.

I'm sure Tackle Alley will bring in some gamers though!!!

I agree with you this is what they should have released first, and waited until they had a complete game to release BB1. However, I still don't think many people really want 3rd person football. Its a nice OPTION, but to force people to use it was a silly move if the goal is to sell copies, and make money.

Well then, Madden shouldn't force me to use god cam. What if I want to play 3rd person football with them? What if I want first person football?

It's an artistic decision, and I like that they're forcing me to use it. I know if they give me a god cam option, I would use it because it would be easier, but frankly I like the third person feature more for this specific game.

I'm not saying they shouldn't give a god cam option, but it should certainly be an afterthought if they want to keep their artistic merit with the default third person option.

Actually, Maddens had a zoom cam for 2 years that I use. However a custom cam is the answer. My main point was, if they want to sell much more copies, loose the 3rd person only cam, and offer what the majority want too. If they are happy with 200k sales, then they could stick to there vision.

No one wants 1st person football. Have you played NFL 2k5?

Uhm, favorite game ever? I'm actually sad they canned the FPF experience instead of growing onto it.

You do know that is regarded by MANY serious gamers as still the best Football SIMULATION out right?
