How many of you stick with Broadcast camera?

Re: How many of you stick with Broadcast camera?

Your issue is control.

You should probably consider people have put time into learning how to control their players using the broadcast cam. It's not impossible - but if you're stubborn, then you'll never see it. Hell, all those videos you see on youtube? Yup, you guessed it - people controlling from the broadcast cam.

I can play the game using the 2k camera but it's terrible. Not immersive at all. I don't sacrifice control when playing on the broadcast cam.

The only arguments for the 2k cam are what you posed AND "I can't see down the court." Well, stay aware of your players and learn how to control the game. It would make any arguments null and void.

As an aside, that flipping around the camera does during a turnover? Might have been cool on the dreamcast but I'm not playing 2k2. I look at it this way - I have evolved as the game has.

If you don't get it, you don't need to. That's why there are options.

i'm not saying you can't be effective at using broadcast after some practice, but my feeling is that: why should i spend extra time to get effective on broadcast when i can just be effective right away with the 2k cam?

i know some people actually prefer the control from broadcast, but others say the control is better on 2k, but they use broadcast anyway just for the graphics...my points were more directed towards those people.

Broadcast cam all the time everytime..... I hate north/south cams.

Because once you get the controls down in broadcast, the sense of immersion is much deeper. I agree with Pared that the flipping camera after turnovers/rebounds/inbounds in the 2K cam is a total immersion breaker. 2K might have a slight edge in controls, but something is most definitely lost in the presentation department.

the flipping thing just doesn't bother me...sure, it might hurt the immersion a bit, but the control advantages and ability to see the floor better far outweigh the camera flipping for me.

getting more "immersion" or making it look like i'm watching TNT just isn't important to me. I really just want the camera that allows me to see the angles and passing lanes best. to each his own.

Re: How many of you stick with Broadcast camera?

I used Broadcast cam up until 2k10 and switched to 2k cam in 2k11. After playing My Player and Team-Up alot i switched to Turbo halfway in the year. I hope the Turbo cam is still in the game this year because it just feels right to me. Its like i'm on the court as the player and i can see just enough around me. With a little zoom adjustments thats my favorite camera playing wise. Now if i'm watching someone play of course Broadcast is cool but i like to play from the player's standpoint on the court when i play and 2k/Turbo cam brings that greatly for me.

I got you brother, like I said in an earlier post - it all comes down to personal preference. I'm a big post up guy, and much prefer to post up in broadcast. It would be interesting to have a Broadcast vs 2K cam playoff, to see how both sides fare against eachother.

Re: How many of you stick with Broadcast camera?

I prefer broadcast but I always use 2k cam online. Makes it easier to see if the dude is trying to cherry pick and I find it easier to play defense and stop backdoor cuts.

I play with the 2K cam. I liked Nosebleed on College Hoops but the view isn't as far on NBA.

Re: How many of you stick with Broadcast camera?

2k view feels a lot better to me because its like I'm really on the court and I can see every player animation better.

The only way id play a different cam outside of broadcast is if they implemeted a first person cam.

Re: How many of you stick with Broadcast camera?

I used to switch back and forth between 2k and broadcast. I changed to broadcast once I started rolling with the Warriors.

My issue with 2k was that the camera flip killed how quickly I can convert from turnover to fastbreak as the controls are muddled when spining, up becomes down etc. So you practicaly have to wait for the camera to spin before initiating a turnover, or quickly switch from down to up but you lose a bit of speed even like that.

2K adjusted. Just feels best for me as I learned to play the game on 2K from the day one.
Also, every1 should use camera angle they think it feels the best.

Re: How many of you stick with Broadcast camera?

I can pay either 2k cam or broadcast. I prefer broadcast and have no problem seeing the whole floor. You can aslo zoom out if you're having trouble seeing. The funny thing is crossovers and lay-ups are way easier for me on 2k cam.
