ESPN made a decision for a new camera angle for Michigan vs Ohio State on Tuesday and it’s not going over well.
Tuesday night we’re getting a huge rivalry game in the Big Ten as the Michigan Wolverines are on the road taking on the Ohio State Buckeyes. Whenever these two schools go against each other in any sport, then it’s always a big deal without giving it special treatment.
Yeah, well, on Tuesday night ESPN decided that they would try to spice things up a bit in the game between these two rivals, and to do this they decided to use a different camera angle. They’re using a camera angle that makes you feel as if you’re sitting in the floor seats, which I’m sure they thought would be a great idea.
Here’s the thing, though: It was not. The angle is really hard to look at and get used to, and folks around the internet are not too pleased.
The camera angle of this OSU-Michigan game is not ideal...

I never thought I'd want to turn off a Michigan-Ohio State game, but this camera angle is giving me a headache.

@espn Please go to the normal camera angle for Mich vs OSU. It's ok for a few trips down the court, not for the entire game. #hardtowatch

I just hope the highlights aren't from the same camera angle....

OSU is hard enough to watch as it is, ESPN doesn't need to make it worse with this awful camera angle

Yeah, maybe they shouldn’t try this again.
