I can't play with ball cam on

[JRS]

is that ok to play with ball cam off 100% of the time,i can't hit the ball in locked mode

I cant speak for anyone else, but i use ball cam 80-90 % of the time. Switch back to fixed camera for things like rotating back or grabbing boost. Though i am working on getting better not using ball cam so much.

ok so opposite of me, I miss the ball more than half of the time with ball cam on even the easiest shots on ground, I read somewhere than everyone play with ball cam on but I can't.

any good players here that don't use it ?

Ball cam is really important and you should be using it more than not, it helps you see where the play is going while moving around the pitch. Im assuming that you're newish to the game so id suggest using ball cam religiously from now on. The only real times you need to use it are for dribbling and lining up for boost, as soon as you're lined up with the boost you should switch back so you can see where the ball is and where you need to rotate to.

Then maybe is something wrong with your Camera settings or understanding game physics. Try to look on this video of average recommended settings:

And also when you should use and should not use Ball cam:

In my honest opinion Ball Cam Off 100% of time is nonsense. If you would play without Ball cam then i would say at least tapping Ball cam sometimes.

No not really, played 100+ hours with ball cam off 100% (at really casual lvl mostly with friends) and now i just can't get used to ball cam on I tried but it feels so wrong even for aerial stuff maybe I'm just weird cause no one else seem to play like that

No problem, by the way are you at least trying to look sometimes left/right (Swivel) and backwards?

Trust me its going to be kind of hard, but you just need to get used to ball cam on. You will miss a lot of what is happening on the field if you are not in ball cam most of the game. Just turn on ball cam most of the time in freeplay and in game, and you will get used to it fast.

honestly id recommend just putting yourself through the discomfort of playing with it cause it wont take long to get used to it and you get so much more awarness through it. I promise that if you stick with it for a while and get used to it you'll improve really quickly since your postioning will be alot better. Like i said just overuse it till your comfortable and then work on switching it up in specific scenarios

but also if youre not that interested in improvement or competitive then just play how you enjoy, but i doubt itd take long for you to adjust and you will see a huge improvement.

Do you want to play for fun? Or do you actually want to get good at the game. If it's the former then go nuts. If it's the latter than you seriously need to start using ball cam a lot more. It's weird for a while, most of us know because we've been there but you'll adjust.

My GF plays strictly with free cam despite my advice. She's Bronze 3 in doubles and Gold 2 in Standard(She plays like a mid silver though) and she's been playing for over a year. I'm a plat 3 in Doubles and I played her in a 1v1 free cam only. She beat me by a couple goals, it was embarrassing, but I guess I need to improve my free cam game.
