NBA 2K15: The Park's Scoring Needs To Change

[RaychelSnr]

Five feet, ten inches has been my height since junior high. To make up for my lack of size, one trick I often employed in pickup games was to ask the other players if we could score the contest with one-point and two-point shots, instead of the standard two-point and three-point shots. Most people would accept that rule change without any pushback, not realizing that they'd just agreed to give a smaller, perimeter-oriented player like myself a statistical advantage.

We always played 1-2 point, regardless of height advantages or disadvantages. I find it funny that you think you "tricked" them...it was just always the standard where I played.

So NBA2K is doing the standard I think most people are used to.

What they need to fix is the 7'3" C that are the best at everything, dribbling, 3pt shooting, etc. They should have a cap limit of what each person can do at each height. I'm tired of playing with or playing against 7'0" SF or 6'7" PG, etc. These guys just cheese their way to victory and there's hardly any skill involved. The park hasn't even been fun since like the first couple weeks cause people realized they can make 7'3" C that are 99 overalls and can get every badge. Where is the fun in that?

1's & 2's is all I know for pick-up basketball. I can't even recall many the times I've played 2's & 3's. But I do remember the reason we never played 2's & 3's is because that's too much math for some people. Keep It Simple Stupid helps a lot of people in pick-up games.

I wouldn't refer to you as the Dr. James Naismith of tracking pick-up basketball points.

Don't matter either way people will play the same way... Go for more points lol! Get the win faster if you can sink shots, the difference between 1 & 2 is the exact same as 2 & 3... Mentality will not change In my Opinion

Coming up Playing 21 It was 2s&3s, but any Team ball was 1s&2s

21/ tip is way different than team ball, but I get what you're saying. The original thread was about team ball.

Man, what if 2K make 21 tip & up to 5 people could play? And only put back dunks knocked the shooter down to zero or 11. That would be fun. Make free throws mean something again.
