What's best camera angle?

[Spanky]

Just curious what camera everyone uses.

In '09 I always used Ice, which is fine. Just experimented in the demo with both overhead and classic, which seem similar. But I really like in overhead how you get a big picture of the ice and can see things developing. Very fun.

Tried action cam, too, and while I like how close you are to the action, it's tough on passing and setting up plays since you only can see a small area of the ice.

Haven't tried broadcast yet because I'm not a big fan of broadcast cams (east-west cams) on any game (football, hockey and basketball) except soccer, oddly, enough.

I play Classic...Auto Zoom OFF

I can see so much more which makes it easier to see plays develop.

I play on ICE or Action views with Auto Zoom: OFF;

I really wish they would implement a manual camera feature where you can setup the height & angle, and setup the zoom factor on that angle. These views they've been having are too old.

Re: What's best camera angle?

classic is the best cam


when I'm playing goalie I use High cam though.

in NHL 10 i might use classic even when I'm playing goalie though now

This is what I use now. When I get back on an HD set I'll go back to overhead. Overhead is impossible to use on a SD set though. I can't tell who's on the ice lol

I guess it's just what I'm used to.

Its all about Classic, being able to see where your point men are and watch the play develop is close to impossible on action or ice cams.

I use the Overhead cam, Auto Zoom off, camera on player on D, Camera on puck when playing forward. To me, it just gives the best view of everything, although there are still blind spots and if the puck is off the screen, the marker they have for it is pretty much unseeable.

Re: What's best camera angle?

i wish they had a customizable camera or fixed the existing ones a bit. i use classic but there's a few situations where you can't see great. attacking into the zone you can't see behind you far enough and can have to guess if there's someone trailing behind you. but the most annoying one is trying to play skating downscreen. the camera is not panned far enough down. having a perfect view of my own zone isn't that useful when i can't even see my forwards waiting for a pass at the other blueline.

i guess overhead fixes these problems, but it seems like you gain so little additional ice coverage for such a decrease in zoom. there's gotta be better options available.
