[BUG] Custom Pitcher Camera Reverts to Default in "Watch Full Game" / Spectator Mode
-
In Franchise Mode, custom pitcher camera angles fail to apply when the user is in "Spectator" mode (Side Select set to NONE). 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.
Platform: PS5
Game Mode: Franchise Mode - Play Full Game
Frequency: 10/10 (Happens every time)Steps to Reproduce:
- 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.
- Enter Franchise Game: Navigate to a game in your Franchise schedule and select "Play Full Game."
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Actual Result:
The camera reverts to the stadium’s default pitcher angle when no team is selected by the user.Expected Result:
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.Additional Notes:
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.
