ESPN camera angles and goaltending? 

Post#1 » by celtics792244 » Wed May 21, 2008 2:01 am

I wish ABC and ESPN would dump the side along the game camera crap that the game started off with. It sucks. Can't get a good feel for the action and see the play happening because it turns as it moves as well. Stick to the traditional camera. Thank You.

To me, the play at the end of the half (when Rondo tried to flush it on Prince) watching live I thought it was a goaltend on Prince. Sure enough I played it back it looked like Prince came under the rim, and sure as hell got his hand on the rim. Correct me if I wrong but I called it as it happened.

I also recall in the '88 shootout between Bird and Wilkens, Ainge went in for a lay-up with about 30 seconds to play, but Doc Rivers touched the net which shook the backboard and got called for goaltending.

Totally agree about the camera shot. I can't stop yelling and swearing at the tv even if they go to it for a moment.

Deffinitely agree about the camera angle, that angle kills me every time.

I do however love the slow motion replays. Those things are wild to watch and makes it almost look like a poster in motion.

Yeah the slow motion camera is amazing. It was funny as hell when Van Gundy was describing Posey's dunk and he went too fast and had to pause for like 5 sec so the camera would catch up with his final word,"flush."

That's why you have to change the camera to 2K mode :D
