In EA FC 26, your camera angle matters more than you think it does. The angle you pick may decide whether you catch that winger sprinting across your defense or completely fumble those easy passes you should’ve secured.
For competitive play, you need all the edge you can get over your opponents. Most of the competitive community and pros have practically narrowed down the best camera angles to two real choices: Co-Op and Tele Broadcast.
Both of these bring different trump cards to the table. So dive in with me below as I help you decide the best angle for your playstyle.
Co-Op Vs Tele Broadcast — Which One To Choose?
The deciding factor in picking between the two is simply your playstyle. It’s basically a tug-of-war between seeing the wide-open field or getting right up close, zoomed in on the pitch.
Honestly, it just comes down to what annoys you less: missing crafty runs off the camera view or squinting at miniature-sized players. It’s all left up to personal preference.
Why Co-Op?
The Co-Op angle practically has you coaching from the skybox, offering a wide, elevated view of the field. I mean, you can spot overlaps, those sneaky through-ball runs, and where the defense is weak even before the ball strikes close. It’s perfect if you’re one of those players who love pulling off constant passes and building on solid ball possession play.
However, the tradeoff of zooming out has everyone on the pitch looking like a couple of pixels. Which means that those tight, cheeky dribbles and quick, close-quarter touches become much harder to read.
Why Tele Broadcast?
Coming over to Tele Broadcast, it’s the total opposite vibe. You basically live through every touch, every nutmeg, and every calamity. The action is brought right up in your face, and those 1v1s? Much easier to read when you can actually see the game happening. It’s perfect if you prefer building your game through tight spaces and 1v1s, since the camera view is zoomed in on the pitch.
However, avoid zooming in too much or lowering the camera height too much as if you’re aiming for a cinematic shot. Otherwise, switching sides becomes slower since the ball moves out of the frame often.
Oh, and don’t forget about those off-ball runners and wingers that hug the touchline searching for a flank, because you’ll probably not notice them either.
Best Camera Angle Settings For Competitive Play
These are the recommended settings that serve the sweet spot most competitive players use:
- Co-Op: Height = “20”, Zoom = “0”.
- Tele Broadcast (Dribbling-Focused): Height = “10”, Zoom = “10”.
- Tele Broadcast (Balanced): Height = “10”, Zoom = “0”.
And don’t sleep on the universal toggle settings that most competitive players prefer:
- Power Shot Zoom: Off (Even though it’s for dramatic purposes only, turning it off helps with defensive moves and overlap runs by not blinding you when you need to see everything)
- Ball Tracking Speed: 0 (Stops camera from spazzing out, following the ball in a way your brain can actually process)
- Far Side Focus: ~10 (Helps you with visibility for those wide plays by making your distant view clearer)
Tip: Players on smaller monitors can lower the Far Side Focus slider to reach their comfort level.
To be honest, most of this is for comfort, but you’ll rarely catch a professional player running with the default presets. And it only makes sense, right? In competitive play, you need all the edge you can get over your rivals. Because more often than not, that little edge is what makes constant results possible.
