      I love Drive camera with a slower game speed (42).

        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 more
        But isn't this because you can't see up court in Broadcast?

        I have a SF on my crew that plays broadcast and he always says stuff like, "I couldn't see you, but I thought you were open" when passing the ball over the mid court line.

          I mean to some extent it's just whatever people are used to. I try out broadcast cam a little every year but I just end up getting frustrated with not being able to see down the court in transition and switch back to 2k.

            I personally dont like 2k cam; but there are benefits playing on that cam. Its easier on the sticks as far as dribbling and passing. I personally think the dribbling mechanics were made to play with that cam. Its also easier to run pick n roll with 2k cam. With that being said, i prefer Nosebleeds cam.

              I hate the 2K cam. And I hate that I'm forced to use it because if I don't it'll be used against me.

              If the AI weren't so utterly incompetent in transition D I could play broadcast like I wanted but apparently we can't have nice things.

                Ahhh, I hate that I've come across this thread haha. I'm a full time Broadcast Cam player that only uses 2k Cam in MyCareer. A couple days ago I decided to use 2k Cam in the standard exhibition games. My defense has suffered some & I don't like how it looks visually but my offense is very very good. My offense opened up much more. So now I'm stuck trying to decide which way to go. I'm thinking I'll just use 2k Cam in Play Now mode & in my Online Leagues. I really like the feel that I'm watching a game when I'm playing MyLeague/MyGM.

                  I play on broadcast cam exclusively. 2k cam makes me sick and just feels unauthentic.

                    I mean even when I'm playing I don't see the back of my whole body in a 3rd person view. If that's the case you should be asking 2k for a first person mode.

                      2k cam is like putting mayo on French fries ppl either love it or hate it. For the life of me I can't play like that at all. The weird thing I've noticed though the animations and overall graphics look better in 2k cam oddly enough. Not a huge difference but def noticeable.

                        Ever seen a real game shot from behind. Probably not, because it looks kind of ridiculous.

                        I agree w/ you. I haven't read to the thread but I am sure someone said its about how someone looks at the game.

                        Me? I look at the game as if I am watching it like a real broadcast on TV. Some people like to look at it like they are actually on the court. And some do it just to be able to spam crossovers easier and take advantage of the spacing it seems 2K cam provides.

                        So it's all a personal preference. Can't really knock anyone because I used to play on 2K cam basically back when NBA Live was hot.

                          But that is why they give us options.


                          LOL. They're not mutually exclusive though. I am definitely playing to win more than anything, but I can do both playing on broadcast like I am watching a real game and also winning most of my games.

                          IMO. Broadcast looks better and plays better for me. Only thing I like about 2K is you seem to have more space and when you're not passed the half court line you can see what's going on at the other end because someone might be wide open that would be a easy pass.

                          But other than that I can't play on 2K. Especially as a PG. I can't see the corners as easily as I can on broadcast.

                            I play on broadcast and have been since 2k5. I'm use to it. I don't favor one side of the floor over the next, iso moves are money for me on either side of the floor, and I can judge spacing much better than 2k cam. The reason i run with broadcast over 2k cam is mostly because it makes the game look realistic. 2k is a 3rd person game, so even if you're controlling the guys on the floor you still view them in 3rd person. Kinda wish my career had a first person cam though.

                              2K cam creates tunnel vision IMO, guys far too often begin going one on one.

                              Broadcast gives you the ability to play the game as you would watch it, its much more authentic.

                                This is a total agree to disagree issue. Stating ones preference is fine, but trying to prove someone else wrong is beyond pointless. The only people who are wrong in this thread are the people who actually think that their opinion is objectively correct.

                                Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

                                Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.
