Am i the only one out there that can't stand this camera angle? This might be a good angle to use on replays or when play has stopped, but FMD its terrible when the game is being played. Half the time you can't see whats going on because theres a player or ref in the way...what are they thinking.

Worst angle of all time. Half the shot is the backs of people's heads
Two words.
"HATE IT"
"THE PITS"
"MISSED PLAYS"
Well. Maybe more than 2 words

Judging by twitter during the game you are *far* from alone.
While I appreciate the willingness to try new things, it would be nice if they had someone trying to watch the game while the rest of the broadcast team did their "let's tinker as much as we can!!" routine, so that they'd realise for themselves how inferior that view is for following the game.

I don't mind it on the inbound passes and free throws for a bit of variety, but can't stand it when the game is in play as you can't see the play or action in general
How about Mitch Young cam? It was a minute or so to go in the game and he hit a couple of FT's, so the camera stayed focused on him for about 30 seconds, even while the Cats were bringing the ball up the court.

Nope, Your not alone. That camera was shocking. Gives a poor view of the game.

That camera angle is almost as bad as Tommy Greer's commentary

It's right up there with the league's uncanny ability to show replays over the top of live action ball, especially made baskets.
Stop being so negative! They have increased the %'s on the Standings to FIVE decimal places!!! Thats an 150.00000% increase on previous seasons!

Certainly the Cats were through a significant part of their offense.

The another annoying thing about the low angle camera is that it was not stable and constantly swaying.
