Best/Favorite camera angle?

[NYJin2011tm]

I haven't played this series much lately. Is there an angle that has all players on the screen?

IMO

BROADCAST CAMERA
POSITION LOCK

Re: Best/Favorite camera angle?

While I personally love broadcast cam for offline play and classic when playing online competitive, the most popular camera within the whole player base is probably overhead, because that does show the entire width of the ice and thus every player in most instances.

I've tried them all… BUT, Action Camera while Player Lock 🔒 is the ultimate for immersion… Nothing on the HUD, only the beautiful game 😀

But yeah, I'm a freak apparently, lol !

I don’t get why playing hockey out of the sky with puck shadow 4 times as big as the puck is a thing anyway 😳

I like playing on Classic Camera

Thanks! I think that’s what I’m looking for. Whatever default is I can’t see D men and sometimes when I go to pass to them they are not there and puck ends up going all the way back on my end of the ice. I should note I’m terrible at angling the sticks, especially my left hand.

Classic camera.. I was shocked that's the default now instead of dynamic medium.

Re: Best/Favorite camera angle?

Dynamic High is now my fav.

I use a few of the cameras but I do enjoy true broadcast and action cam. Most would find it unplayable but I like it. To me action really brings out the size and speed diff of players. I also play with the real puck size and no shadow. Let’s you see the puck roll and bounce instead of just seeing a black halo moving around. I totally get using a higher up cam when playing online but I only play franchise and some play now games

That's my man ! 😀😉

I use to dislike that action cam before, but while player locking it is the best camera bar none !!! Like you said you see different size and speed way better and even when you go for a line change, you can sometimes see your teammates from afar attacking… A thing of beauty 😀

I was just coming to post about using Action cam. I was waiting for the blues game to start last night so I decided to test out camera angles to see if there was a surprise one I liked.

Not player player locked, but Action was an absolute blast. I feel it balances how well a player does not what is around him with what he can't see or sense. It can get frantic.

But it was also surprising playable and fun throughout. I wish the neutral zone did not get zoomed out so far, but it also really help see the flow of the action down the ice, while still keeping an eye on your backend.

The play around the nets is a blast, as the game lives up to tight scrutiny than I would have assumed. I wouldn't want to play competitively this way, but I'm pretty much down to do a season that way. It's so much more up and close with the players.

The action camera is by far the most immersive like I’ve said in the past, but when I used to control the whole team, didn't like it as much, it's on Player Lock that it really shines IMO…

Like you said, when you control the whole team, that's where it gets a bit out of whack for me 😉
