    Using Different Camera Angles Depending On How Big The Game Is

    I want to utilize all the camera angles. So I think I'm gonna change up based on the magnitude of the game. For example for games that are no televised ill prolly use the Zoom b/c it's closer to the field. For regional games ill use the normal cam and for nationally televised and big time games the coordinator cam. Just to keep it fresh...

    Re: Using Different Camera Angles Depending On How Big The Game Is

    Have to say, I really like the Zoom camera. I just wish it didn't zoom in quite so far on running plays. I like the idea of getting closer to the field, and seeing the game the way the players do. It gives you a little more realistic perspective when passing, and it makes the running game feel brutal.

    But like I said, it limits your perspective a little too much once the ball is out of the quarterback's hands, and that can be a problem sometimes.

    Anyways, to stay on topic, this seems like an interesting idea to help give games a little different feel.

      Yeah I really am a fan of all three of those camera angles. So I might have to try it.

        I love cordinator cam but it makes the game a bit too easy for me being able to see everything on the field. Zoom cam is my fav right now. Loving it.

        Nice concept you got there

          Seems like an interesting idea. I probably wouldn't do it because I like to stick with one camera angle that's familiar and comfortable. I don't want to have to adjust to a new camera angle while I'm playing the national championship game or something like that.

            I'll probably be sticking with the default camera. I experimented with the new ones in the demo, and they are neat, but I'm so used to the standard one.

            I may sample some more once the game releases.

              Nice idea.

              Might also implement the idea into road games. Maybe play with coordinator at home then mix up the other cameras for road games.

                Isn't there supposed to be a 'broadcast' cam also? I read about it on the demo but it isn't an option to select in the game .... I wonder if it will be available in the full release? I assume it will be like the side to side broadcast option in madden, although I haven't played madden for a few years

                  Not a bad idea, then you could also turn off commentary for smaller games too, to make it seem that much more realistic, plus it wouldn't get so stale

                    Yep, that's a good call, too.

                    I like the idea of changing cameras a lot. I will have to steal it.

                    Zoom camera is really good, imo. For those that complain about offense being too easy, play on Zoom and you'll see a challenge.

                      Like with '13, the side view camera is only for CPU games. Start a demo game, then move all the controllers to the middle and you can see what it looks like (since it is in the demo).

                        How do you see the outside receivers? On Zoom you can't see them after the snap?

                          This is a neat idea to liven up the game!!

                            Wasn't broadcast cam updated for this version of NCAA? I remember OS doing a presentation preview and saying how the NCAA 14 broadcast cam is shifted to an angle to make it more playable.

                              I like the idea but I would reverse those cameras. The bigger the game the closer the camera in my book.
