    Will 2K8 have BETTER CAMERA settings?

    One of the things that drove me crazy last year was the lack of a good ariel view came after the ball was put in play. Is this year's version address that with more customizable camera settings for Batting and Fielding views?


    One of the things I love about the MLB The Show series on the PS is the ariel cam seems to always follow the action from an old school style video game cam without being too intrusive. MLB 2K7 was just all over the place with their in cam cut angles that tried to hard to put you in the game and on the field and it had no fluidity or flow to the gameplay. At least that's how I felt. Perhaps there could be an option to just keep the action after the ball is hit in play to just keep the camera at one set position?

    AM I crazy...or would some of you also like some more configurable camera options to play your game?

    Yes, they will have this similar cam for fielding, as well as new batting and pitching cams.

      I hope the chase cam is gone.

            Are you saying similar, as in similar to last years camera or the one the OP would like to see. I hope its the later because I really struggled with anything hit to the outfield last year.

              Like the OP would like to see. Kush and BB said the camera is a more overhead one, like other baseball games.

                Nice to hear that. I actually have some hope for this game in 08. It's looking pretty darn good right now. I can't wait to get my hands on a demo.

                  I agree... hopefully this week like people speculate. But I personally think next week for the whole pitchers reporting to Spring Training marketing spin.

                  Seeing how the demo will have the pitching tutorial built in.

                    Last year's camera angle sucked. I couldn't even enjoy the game because of it.

                      Did you try it after the patch with the "pole cam" they added?

                      It was much more like baseball games of the past. And they tweaked it more with a more overhead view.

                        They report on Thursday, though.
                        Of course, if Dawson gets hot, and
                        Sutcliffe comes through, and....
                        Pa, see what you did to me?
