Also wondering about this. Had people telling me in the main steam patches thread that the original was better?

What puts me is off is that on most front on camera angles, the camera angle changes just at the very moment the ball and bat make contact. Not only does this destroy the immersion, you don't get to see the satisfaction of playing the shot in full.

The only combo which maintains the ball bat contact as a steady visual is Bowling Far (as Bowling Cam) and Fielding 1 (as fielding Cam). Every other combo there is a jarring change of scene at the moment of contact. The issue with this combo though is that when the ball is hit near the straight boundaries, it zooms in so much to the ball so as to lose all perspective.

Any chance of BA changing this?

I absolutely second this...

Broadcast camera 1 (batting ) + Broadcast camera 2 (running) has the potential to become a real TV broadcast camera, but the perpendicular excessive zooming in on the ball totally spoils it...

I hope they can fix it without much of a hassle...(I dont know if this can be in the priority list of BA)

The broadcast cameras are not available in training mode under Batting Camera. Can anyone confirm it?

Since am new to DBC, I can't practice batting with them. Do we have this option in DBC 14?

 

[sdt16]

True that

Broadcast camera is missing in the practice modes...

Have raised it several times...

Hope they fix it in the next update...

I updated in the bug reporting thread. I can't believe you have the camera available in the game but not just in training mode. How difficult would it be to add that? @MattW - Lack of this simple feature ruins the total experience for me. Appreciate all the work done so far in other areas.

@cricfan90 @sdt16 fair enough the camera should be in the training mode, but is it really needed? Why can't you practice batting in a casual game, that way you get proper variation aswell

If you want to just practice batting for bouncers or fullish deliveries to perfect your skill, playing a casual game will not make much sense. You can also use markers in training mode and for specific delivery types. Also, adding an existing camera is not difficult based on my knowledge .. Maybe, there's a reason why BA chose not to include broadcast cameras in training mode. Unless BA comments, we will never know.

Its not really game breaking though is it...

Not really game breaking.. Despite some of the issues, DBC 17 is a fantastic product thanks to BA and all the beta testers. Could be much better with small tweaks.

If it isnt that difficult to include it then why not include it...

Its a different satisfaction to bat in the nets / open ground with while facing custom deliveries
