Custom Camera angles not showing up in games

hyperstork · 06-11-2020, 05:00 PM

I have a problem I have been unable to solve. I've gone to my team, 3D Park, etc, and created custom camera angles, saved them, all looks good. However when I try to switch to these angles in an actual game, they do not show up as choices. If I go back to that park after the game, the angles I created are there like they should be. Any ideas?

One thing to keep in mind is that cameras and angles are specific to the park itself, so you do need to be careful which parks you're looking at. For example, if you play in Dodger stadium, you can set up all the cameras in your home park, but if you're playing a road game at Citi Field, the cameras for that park will be different.

You will probably at least want to use the "copy cameras to all parks" function to make sure any custom cams you set up apply to all parks. If you're doing that and still not seeing cameras when you play out games, let us know again and we can potentially suggest something else.

Yeah, tried copying my new camera angles to all parks, still not appearing at ANY park during the game.

I should mention that not only did I start a game in 185, I erased all season/career records to start fresh with four-man starting rotations, and created minor leagues, some of them filled with fictional players of only low to average skills, to pick up the slack as there are only so many real-life players in those years. Then I took over Brooklyn as my team, renaming the the "Blues," and generated a new 54-game season (I've found that by playing a 1/3 length season you generally still get decent averages of how things would have turned out if you'd played 162). Considering my park camera saves are not working, could I have broken something by messing around like that at game's start? My next game was against the White Stockings, I went to their park and made sure my new camera angle was saved there as well, then went to the game... still no luck in-game.

What choices are you seeing in-game for the camera angles from the dropdown lists? Once you play out a game without some angles, it may reset the defaults, but if you're playing in a park, it should show them as options to be chosen.

The custom views display fine when I look at each park, but once I play a game, none of them are available from the drop-down camera selection menus. It's like they don't exist once the simulation starts. Of course at that point I have to finish the game before I can go back to try to edit the parks again. Still no luck.
