    This new lower camera angle from the midcourt with people walking back and forth in front of it is making me ill.

    It is just too low and moving too fast, anyone else notice.....any comments on it?

    I am about to puke....

    They go....hand held....to close up, to regular camera angle....getting me dizzy....

    If Fox is reading this....THAT CAMERA ANGLE SUCKS, PLEASE STOP !!

    Any clip of it? Is FSN doing it too?

    I actually wouldn't mind if they eventually start having a guy with a small camera running up and down the court with the players one day. Blair Witch style.

    all the experimental camera angles just make me feel sick inside and they usually obstruct the view.

    It's awful. Think I'm going to puke. I actually feel really really ill and dizzy. It's not freaking hard to cover a basketball game. Just go to that big camera up the top and stay there. No need to try and be clever with it ffs

    It literally gave me a headache.

    If this was a prototype, it has FAIL written all over it.

    I actually liked it, tho I'm in the minority here. It gives you a sense of what the fans are seeing, people's heads and all.

    I hated it when they did that angle on ABC a few seasons back and hated it here. Just wish they'd stop trying to create new angles and let us enjoy the game.

    The thing is there is NO way to work it properly from that angle, you you to jerk the camera too fast to keep up with the play because it is zoomed in so much.

    It was a terrible choice, hopefully a Beta run that will be dropped IMMEDIATLY.

    You can not shoot close ups and go left and right quickly it doesn't work...that is why Tennis doesn't do it....it just doesn't work.

    Nope. Horrible angle, People constantly getting up and walking in front of it, and at one point this idiot stuck his face right in front of the camera but the station switched cameras before there was a clear shot of him.

    The wire cam thing was horrible as well. Just stick to the old sideline high camera and the occasional baseline ones.
