Upper deck of crowd on replays

[kittles7]

I noticed an issue and i was wondering if others have encountered it. i noticed that on certain angles of replays (especially with the camera positioned under the basket) when the upper deck is shown in the replay, the upper deck appears entirely empty. (even though the upper deck crowd is full on other replays and cutscenes during gameplay)

it seems that it has to do with the distance the camera is away from the upper deck. on replays where the camera is on the sidelines you can see the crowd in the upper deck and it looks fine, but on replays where the camera is on the endline under the basket, the entire crowd or most of it is not visible.

i know it's kind of a small thing, but i'd like to know if anyone has noticed this. i'd like to know if it is this way for everyone or if it has to do with a setting i am using. i have crowd on high detail so i don't think that's it. could it be a setting in config.cfg? or maybe it's something that needs to be changed in "Manage 3D settings" in my NVidia control panel. it obviously has something to do with the draw distance of the upper deck crowd and how it's displayed on replays and perhaps how far away the replay camera is from the upper deck. I've even seen some replays where you can actually see parts of the upper deck crowd fade between visible and invisible during the replay as the camera moves to view the sideline portion of the upper deck crowd, but most of the time on these angles the entire upper deck crowd is completely empty and all you can see are seats.

I narrowed down this problem a bit for anyone interested. This upper deck crowd disappearing during replays and some cutscenes seems to only happen on the really wide (deep) arenas. (like the Spurs arena, or 97-98 classic jazz arena)

In these arenas that are larger (wider) and there's a bigger distance between the upper deck on one endline and the upper deck on the other endline, in these arenas, the arena itself is larger and deeper and I think that's why the upper deck crowd disappears like that on some of the long replay angles (as if it's made to stay in view only to where the crowd is in the regular sized arenas) I'm thinking maybe this isn't something most people are aware of because they may not play in some of the arenas that have this problem. I can provide screenshots or video clips if need be showing this issue more clearly.
