Camera Angles ?

[ODogg]

we only need ONE camera angle......... a user defined camera is all we need

[SteelerSpartan]

yeah its garbage and any excuse EA comes up with is BS...There is no reason for this, other then the fact that they are greedy mofos testing how far they can push their bottem line.

For a company big enough to buy Take-Two on the side, you would think they could spare some $$$ to get things like this into their games


Please Pasta or cdj..someone get some answers from them on things like these and put em on the spot and embarrass them a little

I don't get it either. I've always preferred the NCAA cameras (I think they had 4 options) over Madden on the PS2 but Madden did have a user defined camera. I like the camera to be zoomed out a little more and I used to play Madden on the super high camera as well while I liked NCAA on Classic.

Unfortunately, I think the vast majority of gamers are happy with the default camera angle and EA doesn't see this as an area to focus on in order to improve sales. The default camera is something you get used to and isn't bad but I would definitely like more options.

That's easy to say from behind a keyboard but a lot harder in person. These people have done us a favor by inviting them to play the game. Everyone has pride in their work even if it has problems. I'm sure they can ask diplomatic questions and still get answers without having to bust their balls and try to embarrass them.

Haha. Ok. But that would really be multiple angles because you could make any angle you wanted. Then they could advertise it as unlimited camera angles.

Semantics, I know.

Yeah. This I realize. If it's as easy as the one poster said though I don't get why they wouldn't take the day and set it up. It seems like it is something that's not extremely hard why not just add it so their is one less thing for people to complain about.

I am not a programmer so I can't say how easy or hard it is but it seems like a pretty basic thing to implement if thye have done it for so long and still have it in the code on the PS2.

I second this...please push them on this topic. The one camera angle drives me crazy

It would be nice to have an angle to see more of the stadium, to make the game feel more emersive. Right now, you pretty much only see grass. I'm sure the lack of stadium view equates to keeping the framerate from slowing.

I like in 2k5 you could set it low enough to see the whole field and a lot of the stadium.

I'm sure the frame rate is a big issue. The Show used to have issues with the frame rate in certain camera angles. The frame rate was already low for NCAA last year on the PS3 so I'm sure they wanted to get at least one camera angle up to 60 fps before they worked on the others. At least I'll have 60 fps this year. It would be nice to know the exact reasoning though.
