Press Box view

Postby NYK9327 on Sat Jan 01, 2005 4:57 pm

Does anybody here actually use this while playing against the CPU? I use it for my Dynasty sometimes, it's a nice change every now and then. When I play online I always use the default view though.

The Press view makes it harder while throwing alley oops in a half court set but the fast break is still the same. I really don't have trouble with any fast breaks on Press, I keep the camera pretty wide and in my opinion you can still see just as much when it comes to where the players are.

I think rebounding is a little better in some situations on Press view because the angle shows the depth of where the ball is going. I've mostly noticed it for offensive rebounding.

I am just asking because whenever I want to play with friends they never want to use it. I am fine with both the default view and this view, I don't really have a favorite.

For consoles all the cameras suck for me... PC cameras are better. You cant even see the Players face and stuff in game.

I just use default with Auto -Zoom. For Console. I have my Camera zoomed in to the full and i sitl can barely See. And no my shiat aint jacked up.

Eh, I could care less about the players faces. I just like the overall TV presentation feel of the Press Box.

You guys and all of your Dynasty's are looking sweet on PC. I wish my computer was up to par so I could play Live on the PC, so many possibilities.

I use press box all the time in my dynasty and I never used anything different. It gives you an overall view of the court and its easier for me to see things alot better.

Yeah i like the TV style of the Press box...

i find baseline turns too slowly on fast break on Live... and its not like the game suspends to wait for the camera like the way it used to on NCAA on supernintendo... you have to keep playing while the damn camera is turning... so you could be running in like a curve instead of straight line... maybe its not that bad but its a tiny bit annoying...

on PC i think Press box was the default so i learned to get used to that before i tried any other view so my loyalties are to my first experiences with Press Box

IMO press box is the best view in the game, it looks just like the tv and gives a greater feel to the game.

TheGuRu's right about the graphics on the consols compared to the pc, the detail is by fair the best on the pc adding an even better feel to playing the game.

used it for every live before that, and march madness as well, but now that i've been playing with the default view (never realized it until like 2 hours of playing) i got used to it and press box feels weird all of a sudden

I have played on Press Box view a couple of games but not too many. I liked playing on it but I like Center Court & Basline Low since they are closer in, and you can see the court perfect on Baseline Low. But there is nothing wrong with Press Box i dont guess
