About the new Camera Angles
The 3 views for the camera that follows the action - we can customize these I understand. Will we be able to use our custom created views as part of the or all of the 3 views?

You can use your custom created views for any of the 3 views.

After seeing it in action last night on Twitch, I wondered if the camera could zoom to the action - OR if that might be possible in the future.

It does zoom in a little, and for some things like plays at the plate, we do get in a little closer than the few demo videos we showed on stream.

One thing I am a bit concerned about was, and maybe it was just the video, but on the First Look broadcast, the transitions between views looked a bit choppy. Also, I noticed that when the camera rose to follow a fly ball, the camera itself seemed to actually rise; that is, the background beyond centerfield rose and fell which would only be realistic if the camera was moving up and down on a pole or something.
EDIT: But I think I heard you say, Matt, that I can turn off Camera Angles and go with the version 20 view as a default. This is probably what I would prefer anyway because I like it. Options are always great.

Is "follow the ball" a specific view or will it work with close up views?
I tend to play with the camera zoomed in behind the plate (not quite as close as the built-in HP view), but will sometimes lose sight of the ball in the outfield corners. I don't really want to suddenly zoom out to a distance view to follow the ball. My hope was follow the ball would function from whatever view you set up, but I have a feeling that is not the case. |

The demo we saw does not show that. It shows switching from a pre-pitch view to a zoomed out "follow the ball" view once the action starts. |

The current model you can choose 3 camera angles - one for "pre-pitch", one for during the pitch, and one for the action. You can have all 3 the same, or all 3 different. And you can turn on or off the "follow the ball" for any of them.
So if you like to play with a zoomed in behind the plate angle, you're more than welcome to use that for all 3 cameras, and then it will simply stay on that camera but move around in the action. I will say that behind the plate views do occasionally have trouble when the catcher moves in front of the camera, but it should still be able to pan around and follow the play. And certainly, we will keep working on ways to improve things after release and for future years. I'd certainly love to be able to swap between multiple cameras in the action to dynamically adjust for the action on the field (ie. if you have a throw from LF to home, you'll get a different camera angle than a throw from RF home), but I obviously cannot guarantee when that level of control will be available in-game. And you can also change cameras to watch the replay of the action too. So if you have a cool play at the plate that doesn't get caught by your camera, you can swap out your action cam to the one down the line and watch the replay from there too |

On a side note...
After looking at the "follow the ball" sample in the video a number of times, I LOVE the idea but the way the background moves during those actions is really disorienting. My suggestion - if that can't be easily fixed - would be to drop the background either during camera movement of do away with it altogether. Thoughts? |

With the new angles, i'm wondering is there any changes to how much detail is captured from custom uniforms etc, or more uniform slots per team etc.

I don't want to harp on this, though. So far, it's the only aspect of 21 that is less than pleasing and it is a minor issue as well.

I am having an annoying problem of having the default camera angles reset for each ballpark for each series. Maybe I missed a button or option somewhere. Is there a way to lock the preferred camera angles for each ballpark?
