Cyanide DE Edition - optimal view for pitch?

Post by celticgriffon »

Hi everyone,

I seem to really be having a hard time adjusting to this game. I have played the board version for a very long time.

It seems the easiest way for me to get a good view of the entire pitch is by the direct top down view. But when I do this I can't easily tell which players are which.

And my gaming mouse has a center scroll button that I always seem to roll when I play and this further screws up my views.

I always seem to exceed the four minute time limit. I know practise makes perfect but does anyone have any hints/suggestions?

I use about a 60 degree to the horizontal view, sometimes have to go higher for tricky moves.

This is one of my biggest complaints with the Cyanide version. It's very pretty but it makes playing the game difficult at times. I honestly don't have enough experience with it to give you any quality advice here. I just want to express that I feel your pain on this issue. I stopped playing the Cyanide version for many reasons, this being one of the big ones.

Press n and you can cycle through labels for the players: player name, number, position or some weird-ass formula telling you how many SPP are required. The player number should help you out with the top-down.

I agree that some different views (and custom labels) would be beneficial though.
