If I'm not on 2k cam I just can't read the court. Hard for me to judge blocks , steals and fastbreak are out of the question. That one yeah 2k cam was down online I used the blimp zoomed in some not bad.
Why do people say the 2K camera makes the game look bad?

Re: Why do people say the 2K camera makes the game look bad?
The game for some reason does look a bit worse visually on 2K, but I simply can't understand how people deal with broadcast cam.
For some reason I just don't think it looks like it would on ESPN or TNT even though 2K claims they mimic the real life stadiums. The camera doesn't move in and out and side to side as much as it should when the ball moves, and fast breaks are absolutely terrible when trying to move the ball quickly.
With 2K cam I can see the court as though I'm actually out there.Comment

I really have to go to 2K if playing someone online though if they leaking out every possession and turboing crazy especially last year's transition defense. I actually think this year I might be able to stay on broadcastComment

If you're playing solo as a big man broadcast helps you see all the angles out of the post. As a guard you're almost forced to use 2K because you miss out on lots of open players down the floor.
Using a whole team vs another user? Broadcast is basically a handicap. You can't take advantage of guys down the floor and other players will definitely take advantage of you.Comment

Re: Why do people say the 2K camera makes the game look bad?
I've been using 2k since NBA2k in 1999.
Almost every year I try broadcast but I end up switching back to 2k because I can't get past not being able to see down court when fast breaking.
Also, I almost exclusively play ProAm and MyPark (MyCareer) and I am always the PG of our crew so I need that vision.
Just curious, anybody run point for their ProAm team in Broadcast? If so, do you not have issues on the break?
One year I did cozy up to the Turbo camera for single player MyCareer games. That was pretty cool.

Re: Why do people say the 2K camera makes the game look bad?
I use to play broadcast because of Live back then.
I hated playing with the 2K camera because of the angle rotating due to a possession change however over time, I've gotten use to it and now it doesn't bother me.
I switched from broadcast to 2K because, more often than not, I found it quite difficult to play the passing lane or to pass the ball at certain angles. The 2K view gives me a much better vision and reduces the amount of bad passes I make.
It does take time to get accustom to the camera but once you get the hang of it, it just makes the game a lot easier.Comment

Re: Why do people say the 2K camera makes the game look bad?
I feel like 2K cam encourages players to be constantly be holding up towards the basket, where broadcast gets players to move around the entire court more.
This is of course just based on noticing how I play on both modes, I tend to push the break way more often on 2K cam whereas on broadcast I will wait for plays to develop and use the floor space a lot moreComment

Re: Why do people say the 2K camera makes the game look bad?
I've been a Broadcast guy for years. Strange to see folks so defensive of their respective angles; to each their own.
That's probably the answer to the original poster's question, too. If you're a Broadcast guy, the game's probably going to look more appealing when it's at that angle. Then again, there may be a case for Broadcast looking best to some regardless, since it most closely matches a real life broadcast and doesn't have a jarring 180 camera twist after every change of possession.
I watched a high-def gameplay clip on Broadcast today and I was actually pretty impressed. Then two minutes in, the user switched to 2K and I realized that maybe all the 2K cam views I'd been seeing was why I wasn't really feeling the look of the game at first.Comment

Re: Why do people say the 2K camera makes the game look bad?
I'll never understand the stance some have about how broadcast is sim and 2k is not. Like if you are playing as the players you should have a view of the court like the players, not like the one you have sitting on your couch watching a tv broadcast. You're controlling the action on the court, not watching it! But everyone's got their way of playing and that's great, it's just the ones I've seen berate 2k cam players in the past make no sense and even call us unsim when that's certainly not the case using any logic. Broadcast cam makes more sense for watching cpu vs cpu, or coach mode if that ever returns. And even then I'd prefer a bench sideline cam.Comment

Re: Why do people say the 2K camera makes the game look bad?
Honestly, as a broadcast cam player the 2K camera is much better. I only still use the broadcast cam because it looks just like a TV broadcast.
This year I actually had to switch to the 2K camera to defend the basket and to stop the nonstop lead passes and it really took my game to another level. Racked off a 39 game win streak in online ranked and was damn near unstoppable when I used the camera. But like I said I'm stubborn and I like the fact that the broadcast cam resembles how the game is played on TV so I stick with that.Comment

2k cam doesn't look like a broadcast nor does it represent how basket ball look in real life. It encourages people to stand at the top and spam dribble moves as well as the camera turn breaks immersion.
Ever seen a real game shot from behind. Probably not, because it looks kind of ridiculous.

The 2k camera just looks like cheap seats. Besides that its a great camera. I prefer the broadcast camera but would really like for it to pan out in transition to address the blind spots.Comment
