Watching your Mut 25 coins broadcast cam (known typically informally as Coach Cam) is simultaneously gorgeous and painful. It's amazing and jarring. It's a bit annoying but also magnificent. In a larger sense, for me, it's simply a pity. It's come very close to being well for so long, yet it's remained unnoticed for a long time.

Madden is going through the ringer at present and a large part of the discontent is due to the general lack of progress in many different areas. Legacy issues have remained issues, and some features that haven't been fully developed remain undeveloped or have been passed each year.

There are a few obvious under-developed zones that've seen the majority of the media attention this year however one area that is often overlooked pertains to cameras like the Madden 25 cameras for broadcasts.

It's a well-known fact that on OS that the camera broadcast within Madden is a weapon. It completely alters the game's gameplay and opens up the beauty of Madden which isn't noticed too often. Madden isn't described as an "pretty" sport in all circles. The default camera as an "behind that QB" camera doesn't offer an ample opportunity for the game to look and feel like a TV-style broadcast. The best chance to showcase your skills come from the pregame cutscenes, pre-play scenes and other times when you're not in charge of the game's action.

If you do rotate the camera to the broadcast view and take out the HUD components I would imagine you could trick people to believe that Madden 25 looked like the real thing, if they looked at it for a moment. It's not something that is unique to Madden. Madden, Madden, Madden, NHL all can look like a photorealistic image at a glance however, all of them come with a fully-functional "broadcast" camera in a manner that Madden isn't yet attempted to adopt in the same manner. This is a missed opportunity.

NHL adding a broadcast camera in the game was among the greatest changes the league has seen in recent years. It was placed in the same spot that it was in cheap madden coins and featured an "behind what happens" view. Providing viewers a broadcast camera gave viewers the chance to be observant and think "okay it's a good thing this game actually looks quite good" and again without talking about how it plays only as a matter of graphic.
