    Drive cam with camera zoom at 1 and no key zoom is the absolute best experience IMO.
    Agreed on drive cam. But, its not an option online.

      I like to feel like I'm watching a real game so definitely broadcast.
      I don't have any issue regarding fastbreaks or passing lanes, I only use icon passing so that might be it.

          Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad broadcast cameras exist--the more options, the better.

          I'm just wondering why I keep seeing in threads that the default 2K cam makes the game look worse. I don't see it.

          Yeah, I only use 2k cam, its just easier for me to see and move around the floor with my players. I enjoy watching others play Broadcast cam on youtube, but for me it just throws me off for whatever reason.

          I think its the action cam, or something like that that moves around, its kind of neat to use, as it feels your on the court playing, there is a few cam I think that work like this, and I use to play CH2k8 at times with this cam, but even back then I still was almost all 2kcam.

            I dont like default 2K cam, I lower it all the way down and zoom it in to about 5 or 6.

              To me the point is to win; not play a game that looks like I am watching TV..

              But that is why they give us options.

                Broadcast looks better, 2k cam plays better.

                  If I recall correctly in old 2ks while playing online both players shared the same camera. Imagine that today.

                    I've been playing nba 2k since the dreamcast era and I used the broadcast cam until the game became so animation-heavy, especially in iso, and than I switched to 2k, which works well but totally ruins the aesthetic of the game.
                    At that point it became kinda hard for me to get proper spacing in broadcast and I hate the limited court vision in fastbreaks. I alwasys hope for some fixes that make me come back to broadcast.
                    Especially, they should make the zooming more dynamic: once the posession changes, the zoom quickly pans out and cover every inches from the ball to the opposite basket, and slowly zoom in while the player with the ball approaches it, until a user selected maximum zoom.
                    In this way wherever I get the ball, I'd always see the basket and every player in front of me, and when the CPU or my human opponent has the ball I could see him and all my defenders as well.

                      Personally I like my video game basketball to mimic that of the real thing (when I watch NBA). I love looking at the screen and mistaking it for an NBA broadcast. 2K excels in this area.

                      So for me (especially when watching footage) - viewing it from the same angle as a TV presented game is nicer on the eyes.

                      I totally understand the practical side (from a 2K cam) but broadcast is still user friendly for basketball (as opposed to say, NFL for example).

                      I'd gun Madden from a TV view aswell (soooo much nicer to look at IMO) but its simply not practical for Gridiron.

                        I like both camera angles to be honest. I usually use broadcast but I like 2k too.

                          Competitively, 2k cam is he ideal camera. It is also the camera 2k most likely intends to be llayed at. People are right though, it doenst represent real life basketball but if you like playing head to head and online games, its best. I personly prefer the realistic angle of broadcast but the relative control and the lack of view down court make it terrible for competitive purposes. Its easier to play on ball defense in 2k cam vs broadcast. While in 2k, you really on have to shift left right, down up. In broadcast, yo do all of this play shifitng diagonally.

                            I despise broadcast camera. It may not look like an actual game, but I don't think there is a single sports game where I've ever played in the broadcast camera. Madden's behind, baseball is behind batter for offense, NHL up and down etc.
                            You play up-down in soccer?

                              I cannot play in broadcast, must be 2k. I don't control things in a broadcast I watch them, so playing it and controlling movement in broadcast makes no sense.
