It's sad how much this inner battle consumes me haha.

But the game is difficult and I feel I'd be a fool for not taking the cam where I perform best at the game.

Always has to be something...

- The difference in bad/average/good/great is extremely noticeable. In practice I was the Nuggets vs Celtics. I'm running my plays and thinking the game is too easy (AS/Sim) and scoring at will. I go in-game and I try to run some plays for Gallinari and Wiggins is guarding him. LOL @ me. I'm trying to dribble around a set screen and Wiggins just cuts me off. I had no counter. I never saw that in practice.

A couple things I personally want:

#1 - The ability to set freelance outside of the game. Let me set it in my coach settings. If it's already there please let me know!

#2 - The ability to create a custom PB outside of MyLeague/MyGM. I love the run plays feature in the main menu. Scrimmage is cool and all...but I enjoy run plays better. Let me build a PB outside of a game mode. Plus, let's say you build a PB and you decide to restart after a patch: you have to re-create that PB.

#3 - Please give us an option for "traditional" sub method. I just don't enjoy the current format. I will probably get more used to it but in all honesty it takes too long in its current state.

I'm sitting here at work excited to go home and practice plays to improve my game and get a better feel for the squad.
Amen on practice. Learning more and more. Had Gortat on Thomas switch and just laughed as I drove by. So much fun

Can't believe you guys still playing on broadcast lol. Making passes around the court and dribbling are things I need to do. It's sooo much easier on 2k cam.

What is your twitch account?

One my favorite things to do is swing the ball from strong side to weak side with touch passes. It's by far the most beautiful thing in basketball for me. This years touch passes actually look really great.

Also just add to my on going impressions lol.... I love when the CPU drives the lane and then kicks the ball out for a jumper. I never feel cheated. Does anyone get the same feeling. And for the life of me... IT'S ON PRO....lol...

No doubt it's easier. But the view is bland...

I agree... I remember those long threads of 2k vs Broadcast. They use to pop all the time (They still do). But those were the main things that always came out for me. Playing like I'm watching basketball. Or playing basketball like I do in real life left is left and right is right. It's the same reason I have trouble doing moves/skills in FIFA.

Re: NBA 2K16 Available Today, Post Your Impressions Here

I will always play broadcast. 2K could be the best game on the planet and if it didn't have broadcast, I would not buy it.

I like to play as if I'm watching a live television broadcast. It's why I still hate many of the camera angles used during the game. A lot of them are impossible to capture during a live broadcast.

It's still my opinion that broadcast should mean broadcast only camera angles. Unless the camera is actually in the arena, shooting the shot, the shot shouldn't be used.

There are angles that would require a camera man being on the floor next to the players while actual gameplay is going on. That takes me out of the experience whenever I see it. You see a lot of this during starting lineups and replays.

It also really bugs me to not see the actual camera man. For example, half-time and post-game interviews. Burke walks away alone. Where's the camera man she's speaking to? I can't be the only one that finds that odd.

Also why does Doris Burke change her outfit between halves? Does she do that during live games? Little odd things that catch my attention. But mostly the camera angles are my issue.
