What View Do you Watch the Match?

What particular view do you watch the matches from?

I'm keen on the Touchline view.

What other views would you welcome?

Referee?

Linesman?

3D Rotation?

Zoom buttons?

Any further ideas?

Personally I'd like to see that the Replays have the option of being from a different view. So you score a goal, and the replay is set to play from a different angle or something.

What say ya'll?

Touchline - the most realistic way IMO.

I'd like free-form camera. (Y)

P.S. And Nani's potential to be 180. :P

That's for another thread - thanks.

i have commentry only unless its a cup final

2D classic. I don't think 3D looks good enough yet.

That's for another thread - thanks.

Can't you recognise the joke???

Obviously not...

Damn people are nervous while waiting for the patch...

2D Classic tbh

Main Stand, good view of the pitch

Free Form camera would be great - rotate and zoom for replays etc. or during play.

I'd also like to see distance and speed for replays in free kicks you score from. That would be cool.

I know for what will Crouchy vote...

That's for another thread - thanks.

Jog on . .

2D classic all the way

How come people watch in 2D? Computer issue or just prefer it? Not a fan of 3d?

interesting thanks for the link

Im not a fan of 3D because its not realistic enough for me

I actually prefer the touchline view, I know I have a tall striker, and I know I have a fast striker. And in Touchline view I can see if the opposition has small defenders. I can then adjust my tactics to float crosses or not. If they're tall defenders they probably won't be that fast, so I can adjust to play through middle and try more through balls. My small striker with low center of gravity and great pace then wins.

I find the touchline to be great.

But I would love a Ref Cam, a Linesman Cam, and 3d Cam

Yeh it's very lame graphics. I agree it's pretty poor. But they're better graphics than the 2d? But I prefer 3D because I can see physical attributes that I'd otherwise have to individually check about the oppostion.

I'd welcome an enhanced graphics, but I'd probably need a better computer, it struggles as it is at the moment.

Now I was 2D classic until last night when I enabled found my laptop to be able to cope with 3D but with flickering every now and then but then stumbled upon just 2D with slightly rough looking circles but with better graphical elements of the pitch ie when a goal is scored the net rustles, pretty cool, now if I could have the smooth sleek nice looking 2D dots with this view id be happy, anyone know how to get this?

Maybe next years version will sway me towards 3D but for now im staying 2D

I'm surprised with the 2D votes so far.

2D Classic

Main Stand 3D. I get the whole view of pitch and can notice problems with tactics or players. I don't about brilliant graphics, it's not the reason I play the game, if it was I'd play Pro Evo instead.

2D Classic. I don't have any problems watching 3D, as my laptop is very good, but I just prefer 2D.

I just don't think 3D has good enough graphics yet, but in some years it'll improve and I'll start watching it in 3D.

2d is the best mode for analysing the tactics and players.

My laptop runs the 3D perfectly well (despite it being underpowered according to the minimum system requirements), but I watch in 2D classic because not only do I find it better for watching everything, the 3D is totally unconvincing as a football simulation.

I seem to be the only sideline viewer, but the reason why I use it is because aside from the end to end it doesn't move the perspective at all, and is at a better angle than either of the elevated views. Sorry I meant the vertical scrolling views when I said elevated. Thinking make brain hurt.

Elevated view is the only one I like. I have tried the others on numerous occasions but they just don't work for me.

I usually watch using zoomed vertical scrolling, although recently I've been watching commentary only.

Zoomed vertical scrolling was the one for me, but i got hacked off with the number of grounds where the bottom-end stand roof obscured up to 1/3 of the pitch.

So Main Stand now

what's with all the 2d?

I see nobody so far has voted for 'behind corner' which is hardly a surprise. Who in their right mind would use such a daft view?

2D. Decent.

I use behind corner as it means all my widgets fit nicely on the right of the screen without getting in the way. I like to swap between this and main stand just so i can see both sides of the stadium.

Main Stand.

hmmmm, and what about realisam?

I mean, why can't we watch the match from the bank, like real manager?

Of course, you will struggle to see everything, but the real manager do it too. I never saw Ferguson sitting in the lounge and wathcing the match to see the whole pitch. Or Magath sitting on the TV-island which is in the middle of Arena auf Schalke over the pitch.

In that way, you will have to struggle to see what is happening in the opposite corner, and only after the match you can see how you played the game in TV

I see Managers watching from Stands though.

Would like a bank view, but the touchline is the closest you can get. And sometimes the ball goes past the post and you think you've scored but it's gone just wide.

It's a class view.

Yes, but this view is still upper then the bank. I don't know how would it be, but, I would chose that view. Why? Because I want to feel like managers. To be able to not see everything.

Of course there are managers who are sitting on the stands, but the most of them are up because of a ban.

What an interesting idea that could be?

Choose if you want to sit in the stands to watch the match? Or at the bank?

When creating a new tactic i always use 2D,after a few weeks i start to use Touchline to enjoy my beautiful creation

I'm the same. Despite being the most unrealistic of match views it is great for working on your tactics.

2D for creating tactics, 3D for admiring them

I can't vote as I watch commentary only.

''Don't Watch Matches'' option for you???

Sorry the Poll system only allows 10 options

2d gives me more information, but I feel like cheating, so I always use sideline, a "manager" option with a limited camera mobility by the sideline will increase realism

I thought that Touchline is the ''manager'' view. :confused:

I thought that Touchline is the ''manager'' view. :confused:

no, it isn't. Because it is upper as the bank. It is like when you would sit in the stands. And it moves. What would be is a camera that is on the pitch. So that you see the player near you and something on the other side. And it should move left-right for 15m (dimension of the manager box). Then it would be realistic and hard

2d as well. Though i would like to see what they do when they randomly run to the opposition bench after scoring. I'd like to think they're sticking 2 fingers up, 3d would ruin that thought.

Until recently, I've used Elevated view. However, recently I've switched to Sideline. I don't feel I'm missing all that much of the wider tactical perspective and I'm noticing more things than previously. Also more enjoyable

Full match 2-D classic. Nothing else would suffice.

Great to see so many others in the same vein. Very refreshing.
