Camera Settings and Running Game

[toss the rock]

Ok so I will be the first to admit that my running offense is just flat aweful. And that is on a good day. I average about 500 yards of offense per game (not lying, check my stats if u dont believe me), and about 35 come from running. And most of this is because I just can't do it. I can't make the reads on the blocks and just miss holes and don't follow blockers.

But just recently I switched camera's from the normal NCAA to Classic view for labbing purposes, and after forgetting to switch back, I once again found myself looking at running plays. But this time I was able to run 100x better than before. I can see my perimiter blockers so much faster and see if they are going to lose their block and I will have to cut it up, or if they are holding their block and I can bounce it.

I was wondering if others notice any difference in the cameras and the affect on their gameplay or is it just me? For those of you who run the ball very well, do the different cameras make any difference on your performance? Maybe I'm nuts, or maybe this little change could jump my 35 yards per game rushing to maybe 50 or 60 :).

I think it is very important. When I played in 04 I played a lot of overhead. I could not see the depth of the lanes to run up the middle. Now that I play more at the NCAA view, I run more inside, and can guess how the lanes will be. I also look at the distribution of Linemen to defensive personnel. If I see where my line would have an advantage, I would try to run it to that side. You really have to be patient when you are running also. There may be plays that you get nothing, and then plays when you will break it for 5-7. So you have to be patient with running game.

I use overhead because I like to see as much as I can of the field.

It makes running harder though.

I wish there was a way to zoom in a little on running plays after the snap.
