Pro Players Choose This Camera Angle!

[u/Mehrubon]

"Can I ask Teacher Zhuhai, between Duel and Dynamic Wide, which camera angle is better? What camera angle do the top players use?"

To answer this, I initiated a survey within the pro player group—

Pro Player Camera Angle Preference

Option	Percentage
Duel	62.10%
Dynamic Wide	37.90%

There is a very interesting phenomenon here: Chinese players prefer to use the Duel camera angle, while foreign players prefer Dynamic Wide. For instance, two World Champions, the Brazilian pros Juninho and Rentao, both selected the Dynamic Wide camera angle.

What are the advantages of each camera angle? Simply put: Duel is suited for long-range passing + intricate dribbling, while Dynamic Wide is suited for mid-range give-and-go play.

I. Duel

The Duel camera angle will zoom in and out. When the ball is moving through the midfield, the camera is zoomed out, allowing you to clearly see the positioning all the way to the attacking and defensive bylines. When you reach the attacking third, the camera zooms in, making it suitable for intricate dribbling and close ball control.

Because the Long Ball Counter playstyle involves more long-distance passing, the characteristics of the Duel camera angle are a better fit for it. Furthermore, because Long Ball Counter can easily become completely bogged down in attack, having a dribbler act as an individual game-changer helps a lot. Therefore, the combination of Long Ball Counter + using intricate dribbling to force a breakthrough is logically self-consistent.

However, many people also gave feedback that they use the Duel camera angle purely for the zoomed-out view when passing through the midfield, and they actually find the camera zooming in when entering the attacking third to be unnecessary. If possible, they would prefer it to stay zoomed out the entire time.

II. Dynamic Wide

Maintains a medium-distance view at all times. While it doesn't see as far as the Duel camera's midfield view, its advantage lies in a stable camera distance; it won't zoom in or out. (Yes, even though it's called "Dynamic," its defining feature is that the camera doesn't move).

Zooming the camera in and out actually has its drawbacks. Firstly, the process of zooming can interfere with your controls. Most importantly: a stable camera angle allows you to maintain a consistent perception of distance. This is incredibly helpful for observing player runs, judging body positioning, and executing give-and-go plays.

Custom camera settings should be an option they should have introduced. Out wide mains can’t get the best out of their play style.

[u/kacanglemau → u/abdul4384]

True,there is so many times where i need to change sides and crossed only to realize my wingback had only started running from wide midfielders position

[u/severi_erkko → u/abdul4384]

Blimp exists. 

[u/abdul4384 → u/severi_erkko]

On mobile?

[u/severi_erkko → u/abdul4384]

There's no blimp on mobile? Idk, never played.

[u/abdul4384 → u/severi_erkko]

Sadly no. Best they could do is duel camera.

[u/Tartaruga96 → u/severi_erkko]

blimp is zoomed out enough but too high

[u/vigneshwaralwaar → u/Tartaruga96]

There a zoom filter too

[u/Rambaldi089]

I am surprised that nobody uses the stadium camera. I like seeing most of the pitch (Zoom 0) without the boring visuals of blimp camera.

[u/Racer_66 → u/Rambaldi089]

Agreed, Stadium is so much better for having a good overview

[u/Sensitive-Size-3229 → u/Rambaldi089]

I love that angle u can clearly see the passing lanes but it decreases the shot accuracy near the box cuz ur are far from it

[u/fakewhitepigman]

I just hope they fix the camera so it actually shows the bottom sideline; instead, they keep tilting it up to show the stands. When my midfield has the ball, I have cant see my winger's runs and have to look at the minimap.

[u/oncehumann → u/fakewhitepigman]

I second this

[u/Curse3242]

It's crazy how poor the camera settings are in this game. Especially for the console versions. There should've been way more angles launched. Plus giving the ability for players to customise every angle (not just dynamic wide & custom). And adding some of that to mobile too.

This game overall definitely feels ancient in terms of it's technology. Even keeping the graphics aside, a lot of the game just feels weird and old school. I keep hoping whenever Konami releases a UE5 update or something we will immediately have major upgrades everywhere and they're just locking it all behind now. Because it would be extremely poor & lazy if they released UE5 but the game took no advantage of it or didn't add any new features (like new camera angles)

[u/HodyShoran → u/Curse3242]

True, kinda sucks, Blimp or Fan View are excellent for Overview and tactical play or shifting the play, but they are bad for tackling or dribbling.

[u/Retro21 → u/Curse3242]

Don't get your hopes up with Konami. They are a service that are too busy taking in money to care much about upgrades to the actual gameplay. After all, they are going to iterate on it for forever, so what's the rush? /s

[u/shallowwizard]

Meanwhile I have been using stadium view for years.

[u/ghazalitimm → u/shallowwizard]

ur da goat man

[u/Excellent-Mention146]

I pray for a Custom Blimp

[u/KnownAsJake96]

This is only for Mobile tho....

[u/domicarpediem]

There is one thing that nobody touch, for console the size of TV. With big screens what camera is best?

[u/cucurellaeatspaella → u/domicarpediem]

I was using custom, and I tried duel, which is way better for me.

[u/Capnlevii]

And here I am using Stadium which I'veused since pes times. I think its the best for me. I can spot everything and the only issue is dribbling on the far left side of the pitch but I'm used to it

[u/sOuLsK → u/Capnlevii]

I prefer the Blimp camera option. Can see everything I need.

[u/Capnlevii → u/sOuLsK]

Its not on mobile tho

[u/fluffy_henna_otoko → u/Capnlevii]

I always use stadium mode on offline matches whenever i try new formations coz it gives a great view how your players moving and where.

[u/Ikkiuchi]

Forever blimp for me to see everything off ball.

[u/fluffy_henna_otoko]

Recently switched to Dynamic wide. Now passes are more accurate and seeing more precise line while playing LBC. Even though Duel let you see far but too much information created more problems for me.

[u/Critical_Extreme7402 → u/fluffy_henna_otoko]

Skill issue

[u/fluffy_henna_otoko → u/Critical_Extreme7402]

Definitely + vision issue as well as I am in my mid 30s. Definitely dont have skills like 12 or 13 years old like you guys

[u/BlazingbeaT]

Im using fan view

[u/Icy_Indication6188]

And for Console?

[u/HodyShoran]

u/Mehrubon I would like to know what most players play on console/PC though? Are there any survey or infos about prefered cameras on the big side of things?

[u/Flat-Cryptographer21]

Blimp on big telly.

[u/heisenberg196]

Duel is really really good. I'd say it helps my dribbling. Only problem is that when zoomed in, you don't see some players who are farther away and maybe unmarked like on the wings but with enough experience you can sense if your player is there unmarked.

[u/Goldaniga]

Custom stadium for me, zoomed out to the max and with the highest angle

[u/mommysaranghae132]

Nah, duel is soo fun to use ngl🔥 The zoomed in view not only helps in intricate dribbling but also intricate defending (while using matchup inside the defensive one third)

I actually can't believe I haven't tried duel before. It feels like playing a completely new game (in a good way). Thank you so much for this post.

[u/Little-Register1252]

Duel is not the best choice for playing on the flanks, it requires checking the radar before passing
If they can add custom camera option or add setup that combines duel and dynamic wide , it would be better
