Next gen 2K angle is not good. On last gen 2K view was better. This or last year they messed with it and kinda screwed up. Actually I'm using HIGH camera. Similar to 2k but more dynamic and can see stuff better.

A clarification: in MyCAREER, I'm actually playing on the "Turbo" camera angle, which is always behind the player, smoothly rotating as necessary, and there's no "flip". In 2K Pro-Am, I'm using 2K cam (though I'm going to have to see if Turbo is available), which is behind the player on offense, in front of the player on defense, and has the "flip" at halfcourt. In all non-player locked modes, I'm using Broadcast Stadium (the authentic broadcast angle). In MyPARK, I'm using a broadcast-style sideline view (I'm guessing the generic one).

I feel like all of that switching camera angles could throw off playing consistency, no?

As in, I'm guessing it takes a small amount of time to adjust back to a specific camera angle after playing on others.

I'm a big user of all the moves the game has to offer, and being able to see the baseline and distance from the hoop/distance from defender to execute. I am so used to how the dribbling/other moves feel on broadcast.

The 2k view seems the same to me now as it did on last gen 2k, but maybe that's because I don't like it and seldom use it.

Yeah, I use high also. It's better than 2k.

Nope, not at all.

Nice.

One thing I do from time to time (Like TGsoGood said) is look at different camera views for a better view of graphics/mods. I use the nosebleeds one like him to look at the whole court.

I should also note that my controller configuration is set to Absolute, so on top of different modes and playing styles, there's no adjustment on the sticks going between camera angles. Of course, that would be my preferred setting even if I was just using the one camera angle across all modes, as I don't like the Camera Relative approach.

I think that's a whole other topic that could be covered by itself, or its relation to camera views.

I use camera relative, I dabbled once in Absolute, and it wasn't right for me at all.

Again, it's probably the whole " I've used camera relative my whole life, therefore it fits me" situation.

It's definitely that way with me. NBA Live's right stick dribbling has always been Absolute, so that's what I've been accustomed to since 2002. I prefer to have uniform controls regardless of my position or camera angle. As I said, it's probably one of the reasons why I don't have any trouble going between different cameras in different modes.

Another part of the camera discussion, is Key Zoom.

After one of the early patches, 2k fixed the key zoom feature, allowing us to actually turn key zoom off on broadcast view.

Because I use the original .exe, I don't have that ability anymore. But, whenever you watch a broadcast on tv (watch any game), they have key zoom ON, so I don't mind.

However, it was quite nice to see a bit more of the floor without it, and, watching the ball travel through the air on a shot looked pretty sweet.

NBA 2K16 never patched the key zoom option for broadcast, leaving us with no option to turn it off.

When I play competitively (Online/Park/Pro-Am/MyLEAGUE) I use 2K cam. Someone called me out during my blacktop series on YouTube that I would only run my offense on the near camera side when playing with Broadcast-type cameras. I looked at some of my shot charts and realized they were right....so I switched.

When I'm just messing around or playing Blacktop, I use Beluba, I love the closeups that camera has during gameplay.

Always Absolute settings for controls because of Live 2003+.
Opinions are my own.

It's funny, I used Beluba a bit as well with 2k14, and I enjoyed it.

In regards to shooting more on the close side, I've also looked at my shot charts, and they are even on both. But again, I think it's because I've just used the view for so long, that I'm comfortable everywhere on the floor.

It would be cool at some point to play against someone on here online, with one person using 2k cam, the other using broadcast cam, and see how it pans out. Also, with one person using camera relative, and the other using absolute. We could broadcast it as well.

In the past I would favor top of the key and side closest to the camera on broadcast view but now I just let it fly.

I wouldn't be surprised if I've had a similar habit playing with broadcast angles over the years. I think I vary it up more these days, but I'd have to check the shot chart and see.
