What's the default camera in FIFA? I have a feeling that the majority of people, far from a preference for 'broadcast' would just use what they are given.
The examples of Baseball games are enough to provide a counterpoint. You just get a more natural batting experience from the camera view behind the batsman.
As has been repeated frequently, the option is there, but it's not too much to ask that people give something a go before deciding that they liked it the old way in older games - just play the older games if you're not open to things being different. Playing two player batting from the bowling camera wasn't nearly as nice as it was playing single player behind the batsman.
A fielding radar is one point I think where hud is valid that the game doesn't include (to my knowledge). I think except for late movements of fielders, the game showing you the batsman's knowledge of the field is a good way of giving back the peripheral vision you lose from any camera.
An implementation I've always envisioned is that you would have larger dots on a radar for fielders who are outside your normal range of vision combined with your judgement statistics. So if you've got a good player and fielders are in placements that you can see them all, you'd have an accurate field radar; if you don't, the dots would become larger to indicate the batsman's uncertainty.
