Broadcast camera

Is it possible to get the broadcast camera back that you had in pre patch in nhl 23. This one is way too close in most arena and the game looks terrible. Or the ability to zoom out. The Las Vegas one is good in nhl 25 but the other ones are way to close.

    If you're talking about true broadcast legacy, that camera is meant to represent the actual real life TV broadcast view of each team, thus the term, true broadcast. So the zoom distance will always vary according to each teams actual home broadcast camera view. EA has been pretty accurate in replicating that over the years so Vegas, similar to Vancouver and probably some other teams, is more zoomed out, just as it is in real life. TV broadcast coverage style varies year to year so it likely is different now than you recall from a few years ago, pre NHL 23 patch. 

    It would be great to have a custom camera but changing the true broadcast view kind of defeats the whole purpose of having the authentic TV broadcast, especially for sim players who like immersion close to reality. I just approach it as a home ice advantage when I play at a team with a challenging broadcast view, either zoomed farther out or in, such as New Jersey where it's so close the crowd makes it tough to see the action at the near side boards.

      I was talking about the legacy camera it is way to close in some arena it would be nice to have the option to move it b but not as far back as true broadcast. It would be really nice to be able to customize like in nba 2k allows you to adjust the tv broadcast camera as well. It’s too bad ea had it right in nhl 23 before they removed it.
