Appropriate Camera Angle for Competitive Gaming

[biglami]

So I went to a buddy's place last night to do some gaming, and he puts the cam on the default. I am not even sure if it is default. We were playing on a side scroll old school Double Dragon type view, that prevents us from seeing the paint until the guard has brought the ball to around the mid court. I said, "How can ya play like this?"

He said, "This is how the game is meant to be played. Beluba plays on this angle."

I said, "Ok one dev enjoys this angle, likely playing by himself. I can't see my dudes! Every competitive gamer plays 2K angle."

So, what is the appropriate camera angle for offline versus?

I play 2K angle, obviously.

Lol according to who, TNT? You know what angle that is? It's the angle of players who are bench warmers and never get in the game to see the court in 1st person view.

2K would be the obvious choice, but if he's addicted to that angle, just switch off every game.

I think broadcast looks amazing, and I still play on it, but yeah I'm way more effective on 2k Cam

No such thing as a "competitive angle"... It's whatever you like.

Said it before, but I play with a dude (C/PF) who plays using broadcast. Plays well and wouldn't know of he didn't tell me.

It's harder to be competitive on a side view especially in the more arcade modes. I know only a few guys who use broadcast cam and are good. Arob and Allstardadon come to mind but they're sim players.


Personally I like to switch cameras. I enjoy both 2K and the side views but I feel it's definately easier when I use the 2K cam. If I was playing online I'd definately use the 2k cam.
