    New camera improvements in 2k18?

    I play on broadcast (for life!) but hate that I can lose track of my guy when I run off-screen, such as when I have to sprint my center back to stop a turbo cheeser.

    I assume 2k18 will still have turbo cheesers. Did they add any new cameras or features to help keep the player I'm controlling on-screen all the time?

    A simple auto-zoom out when my guys runs to the edge of the screen is all it would take. Help me obi-wan beluba...you are my only hope.

    The 2K cam has been needing a fix for a while too. When you're on one wing the camera moves to the side too much.

      Try Broadcast Zoom and post your thoughts when you get the game.

          Any news on a VR mode where when we spectate games we can use a 360 degree perspective?

            I just wish they'd make all camera angles available in all modes. Drive camera is my favorite but you were unable to select it in online play for some reason so it always defaulted me to broadcast in MyTeam Online games or Blacktop which almost always led to an easy bucket for my opponent to start off.

            It makes no sense why I can't have full control over my camera angle against a guy who isn't even looking at the same TV as me. It was one of the more frustrating "nag" issues for me last year.

              Appreciate the feedback as always Mike! Are we ever going to get an auto flip option for the Parametric cam? I love how close it brings you to the action when facing the basket, but I don't like how you don't have an option to always face the basket. This is much needed for all camera options.

              Also, I like using the 2K Wire cam but I find that the shot clock on top of the basket blocks your view too much when inbounding the ball or after a change of possession. My suggestion would be to make the basket fade out/disappear a little more so the the basket & backboard are barely visible when inbounding or after a change of of possession. Any thoughts?

                The camera type that parametric uses doesn't support flipping. But I created a new camera called 2K Low that you should check out.

                    I really wish there was a way we could save 1 or 2 custom cameras as an option for online play. I pretty much exclusively play All Star Team Up, so getting to fine tune a couple custom cameras and use them online would be awesome when none of the preset cameras are quite right.

                      Thank you for the replies! Is there an option to control the field of view on the player lock camera?
                      Apparently you can't change your username.

                        Broadcast Cam guy here (arena specific - still love this is a thing since 2K12!)

                        One that's always irked me slightly for years is when I call timeout then come back to inbound from half court.

                        The camera is too centered, in that too much of the back court is visible and I can't see my entire front court. Tough at times making a play because I can't see what's happening 100%.

                        Hope Mike sees this and can adjust.....

                          I'd just like to be able to zoom out the 2K camera view far enough so that I can see the entire half-court at all times.

                          Right now, whenever your player has the ball in the corner or anywhere below the free throw line, you can't see what's happening on the wings or at the top of the key because the 2K camera view zooms in too tightly, even on the minimum zoom setting.

                            Took a stab at fixing this. PM me or start a gameplay camera thread when the game comes out and let me know if more tweaks are needed.
