But do you. It's about the player's preference not the team right. Just don't be surprised when you get kicked out of xbox parties lol.

You doing the most lol trolling at it's finest. You use what you like ain't no meta camera.. point blank period.

Every camera has pros and cons.

Broadcast angle was good enough on NBA Jam and NBA Hangtime, I can live either way lol.

1) The camera DOES give you the option to adjust zoom and height.

2) That's doesn't even make sense. It's the same game whether you play it on 2K or broadcast cam.

3) The NBA players play in a stadium. Therefore, if you play at your local YMCA or Park, you must suck competitively.

4) Made up statement based on nothing. In fact, I think it's easier to rotate on defense, because you can see spacing better. You don't have to hug up on the offensive player, and you can play the space between him and the rim better.

5) Unless you're using a player with a break starter badge, you're not going to be able to throw a full court pass anyway. Most likely, you'll have to dribble close to half court before you can begin a decent pass to someone cutting to the paint or flares out to the wings.

I don't join Xbox parties anyways, because I don't need to speak to anybody to play the game. Never had, never will. I've been playing the park games for a while, and I have yet to have a conversation about the camera angle I'm using...

Facts are 'trolling'? hmm. Exactly---> every camera angle has factual and strategic pros and cons, which entirely contradicts what you're saying that it's just 'personal preference'. 2K cam happens to have the most pros and less cons.

It's the same game whether you play it on 2K or broadcast cam. Do you really think perspective doesn't matter? 3) The NBA players play in a stadium. Therefore, if you play at your local YMCA or Park, you must suck competitively. So if I was 2 foot tall I'd see the game the same way as Yao Ming. Ok. 4) Made up statement based on nothing. In fact, I think it's easier to rotate on defense, because you can see spacing better. You don't have to hug up on the offensive player, and you can play the space between him and the rim better. Based on common sense. It's harder to rotate from top to side on broadcast cam. 5) Unless you're using a player with a break starter badge, you're not going to be able to throw a full court pass anyway. Most likely, you'll have to dribble close to half court before you can begin a decent pass to someone cutting to the paint or flares out to the wings. Not true, I have plenty of non break starter players who can make that pass. You don't think it's possible because you're used to side cam. I don't join Xbox parties anyways, because I don't need to speak to anybody to play the game. Never had, never will. I've been playing the park games for a while, and I have yet to have a conversation about the camera angle I'm using...

Not about the parties, more so that you're not going to find a lot of like-minded players to play with who are actually good. I've played hundreds of games of JRC and pro-am and camera angle 1000% matters. Your opinion is in the minority so I'm guessing if you're trying to find ballers it's gonna be an uphill battle. The best players in the world use 2K cam - nuff said...

This lol. Getting team chemistry or players with iq is hard enough, then you gotta try to sync up if one dude is 100% zoomed in and cant see crap, another guy on 2k, and another guy on broadcast. It's common sense.

That's your opinion.

Your opinion once again on based on assumption. I've never had problems getting games outside of people just being damn snobs.

At the end of day, it's still a personal preference like owning a Xbox over PS4 or using an Android over an iPhone.
