While the custom camera works perfectly when a user is controlled, the game ignores these settings and forces the default "Ballpark" or "Pitcher Center" camera the moment the game is being watched as a simulation.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Platform:</strong> PS5<br />
<strong>Game Mode:</strong> Franchise Mode - Play Full Game<br />
<strong>Frequency:</strong> 10/10 (Happens every time)</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Steps to Reproduce:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Set Custom Camera: In the main menu or within a game, set the "Pitching View" to any Custom Slot (e.g., Custom 1) or a specific non-default angle.</li>
<li>Enter Franchise Game: Navigate to a game in your Franchise schedule and select "Play Full Game."</li>
<li>Verify Functionality (Controlled): Select your team on the "Side Select" screen. Enter the game and verify that the pitcher camera is using your custom setting.</li>
<li>Enter Spectator Mode: Pause the game, go to "Select Sides," and move your controller to the middle (NONE) to watch the CPU vs. CPU simulation.</li>
<li>Observe the Bug: Resume the game. Observe that the pitcher camera immediately reverts to the default stadium broadcast/pitcher angle, ignoring the "Custom" selection in the settings menu.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Actual Result:</strong><br />
The camera reverts to the stadium’s default pitcher angle when no team is selected by the user.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Expected Result:</strong><br />
The camera should remain on the user's selected "Pitching View" (Custom or Preset) regardless of whether a side is selected or if the game is being watched in spectator mode.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Additional Notes:</strong><br />
This bug significantly impacts players who enjoy the "Broadcast Manager" style of Franchise play. The manual workaround of "controlling" a team just to see a specific angle is not viable for those who want to watch an unbiased CPU vs. CPU simulation of their team.</p>
