iPad aspect ratio prevents me from seeing same view as opponents
So, I’ve been playing since January and I’d noticed that there were times (e.g., on an opponent’s corner in the bottom left of the screen when I couldn’t see the full field of play (not the WHOLE field but, rather, the area where the action was occurring). Well, it finally dawned on me that the aspect ratio of my iPad is different from most mobile phones in that it’s not as long relative to its width. So, similar to watching movies on an old TV where the widescreen “cinematic” view would get chopped to fit a boxier screen, I think those of us on iPads are experiencing a “chopped” view of the field. It doesn’t matter too much 75% of the time, but it matters a LOT that other 25% of the time when I can’t see opponent’s players (or my keeper) on a counter-attack or corner kick.
I’d love for someone to check me on this, but I absolutely know it causes me big problems on those bottom left corner kicks (which is why I’m almost certain I’m right about the “chop”). I’ve looked to see if there is a way to adjust the aspect ratio of the display (the way you could choose “widescreen” on old DVDs), but I don’t see anywhere you can alter the view. Again, somebody fill me in if I’ve missed it. And if I haven’t, could somebody at EA please pass along to the developers that this is something that really ought to be added so that iPad users aren’t playing with a hand tied behind our backs?
