These new camera angles are awful. Stop switching in live action-- how many more plays do we need to miss because this dude (Jeff Curtin, or whoever the fuck it is now) likes to stroke his ego by experimenting with us?

Who the hell likes this shit?

 

[illmatic99]

Goddamn, I can't handle this tonight. Absolute garbage. Totally ruining my game experience.

@THE HCP PLEASE PASS THIS FEEDBACK ALONG

It does seem rather... aggressive.

On ESPN on opening night it felt like the main camera was zoomed way in and it was constantly shaking as the camera operator struggled to keep the ball in frame. It was giving me motion sickness, but I thought maybe it was just me getting old

we can't see any weakside action at all with this garbage.

I think the camera angles are different because of covid. You notice there are no camera people on the endline.

A stationary camera showing the entire court like they have been using for the past 50 yrs would be better than this. They have those.

 

[Natebishop3]

I would be 100% happy with just a normal side shot of the court. I don't need your fucking fancy angles. I don't need to feel like I'm on the court. I don't need to see a long shot from down the court. Just show me the fucking action.

 

[Scalma]

Take that sideline camera and shove it up your ass Blazers broadcasting.

 

[MickZagger]

I hate it too. If you’re going to do that on replay that’s fine. But honestly it makes me dizzy

 

[Natebishop3]

These dudes are always trying to get fancy. We don't you to be fancy. I just want to watch the game.

 

[barfo]

I want a GoPro strapped to each player's head. And also on the officials, so we can see if they saw what they say they saw.

[Driew]

I don't mind the courtside camera. It's a nice new angle that you don't get with fans in the arena.

 

[JoshuaHall]

I love it — at times.

 

[calvin natt]

I would never have even thought about it if people weren’t complaining in here. I love being lower and closer to the game. To each his own

 

[handiman]

They're probably just trying to draw attention away from the empty stands.

The next iteration of mic'ed up?!

 

[Orion Bailey]

Agreed. Only use the floor camera for replays. Not live feeds. Keep that simple with the half court elevated camera that sweeps from hoop to hoop for live play. That is the best way to see off ball action.

not sure it has anything to do with egos though? Cant gauge fan reaction without trying right?

 

[Hoopguru]

They should use drones that hover about 5' above players and follow them all over the court.

Hold my beer!

 

[Natebishop3]

We should just sim every game in 2k. So much easier. Nobody gets hurt. No refs fucking us over. Easy mode.

 

[kjironman1]

I don't seem to have a problem with the angles as much as the fake crowd noise.
But it was pretty obvious the crowd noise to an extent is needed to bring at least a little life to the production.
I did notice they started getting it timed a little better.

Maybe the camera angles and content they provide will improve as the season progresses also? A work in progress like the team itself.

 

[THE HCP]

Wait til you hear the Staples Center crowd noise...... BRUTAL! Sounds like a fan or you are on an airplane! Never changes!

They do it through home team free throws? I watched the Clippers game and some of the Mavs game but don't remember. You can either remind me or I'll wait an hour and a half.

I know for sure it stays on during Laker games. I should have said that instead of Staples Center.

When we play the lakers at home will it be realistic audio with Lakers fans cheering??

 

[Orion Bailey]

Oh and will someone please let me know when HCP changes his Avatar?

I'M turning them off until then. I cant look at that Laker ring any more.
