    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?

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

    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

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