PETITION: No more Got Next.

[bo.jangles344]

Need i say more? Match making.

I'm currently sitting in a rec waiting on the only court past half time. 10+ minutes is way too long to sit around doing NOTHING.

Just do a call of duty style lobby with different game modes. Problem solved.

Best idea ever right there. And allow for private lobbies!! Private games don't have to earn rep or anything, just let us play private custom games! That's where tourneys and competitive exhibitions are made.

I can't believe we can't do this already

My fix for the Rec is add a Squad spot on both the Home & Away side. Far too often there's 1 or 2 players in the Home side of 'Got Next' holding things up. I would also like to see the Rec fill up more evenly. Often times I go in as odd man out.

I don't like matchmaking for 1 reason. I for see way too many Quit Game Early's. If you are an All Star 2 or higher and you get placed in a game with 4 rookies or they play like rookies, I guarantee you're jumping ship. It's what ruined Team Match up for me. I'm anti anything that makes it user vs CPU while I'm online.

Plus you'll just be moving the wasted time from the start of the game to the middle of the game. You'll find 2 quarters in everyone leave a bad game and you'll leave or the game will tell you no more human players are left. So those 2 quarters you just played are wasted time.

I've said this before and stick to it. Don't bother going into Rec without a Squad. And if you do go into Rec without a squad, don't complain about waiting.

So what does 'don't come to the Rec without a squad' have to do with going into a Rec where each game isn't even past the second quarter? What does it have to do with waiting on the squad spot, only for everyone on the winning side to get off? What does it have to do with the atrocious lag because a game is currently going on across from your court? What does it have to do with the atrocious lag because too many people are in the Rec? What does it have to do with one or two idiots holding up the home side from starting on EVERY court?

Think before you post.

I don't enjoy bashing 2K...I mean, I've been playing since 2K3 and I love the series...

But why in 2015, do we lose features we had years ago?

Okay, okay, I understand they wanted to push the park idea and admittedly it seemed cool at first (once I got over the no crew announcement in 2K14) but the execution isn't there.
Courts always break, due to people lagging out or just the servers being bad. Sometimes you can sit there and pressed the button to get next and be waiting for 2 minutes to step on while someone walks over and gets on your spot instantly.

Also, we all know 2K servers aren't good..so why are we in lobbies with 50? other people? And I noticed before on Rival Days the game would lag like crazy against other affiliations.
It doesn't help with the connection.

Yea, it's cool to see win streaks and play against rivals and all that, but the downsides outweigh the positives.
Boosts are OP and the lag is never a good thing..if we get matchmaking back I would think their would be a lot less lag and it would be a lot faster to play game after game.

And yes to private matches, another thing we lost that we could do on last gen. Me and my friends would do it all the time to practice moves against eachother before we played 3v3 games against other guys.

Sounds like someone has many issues outside of this game not being exactly the way they want it.

1. Don't tell someone what or how to post. Just because it isn't your opinion doesn't mean it's inaccurate.

2. You can't be patient so the entire system needs to be rebuilt. You're so impatient you can't wait for a game to finish in 2 quarters? You can't speak with your squad to leave that Rec and go into another Rec? Don't blame your impatience on something that works for a large group of users.

3. Try not bagging on the winning team for losing. We all know it happens, but maybe they have other things to do. It sucks when it does, but be PATIENT and wait for Home side 'Got Next' to fill up. Oh wait, you can't because you can't be bothered with waiting. (If you read my post you'd know that a 'Squad' spot on the Home side would help with this very issue)

4. Everything you've posted is a YOU problem outside of the lag. Unless you count the part where you feel too many people are in the same Rec lobby you're in, then that's a YOU problem again.

Why don't you do me a favor and give me your point of view on why I feel a matchmaking system would lead to more 'Quit Early' users? But please, make sure I don't chew up too much of your time. I'd hate for you to get all grumpy again.

People can have bad opinions, and that is a pure example of it.

In your perfect world, you can sit on the squad spots for three straight quarters because you're 'patient', then the winning side jumps off after the game. Now you've wasted all that time waiting only to wait even LONGER for another game to finish OR staying where you are and hoping others jump on. That is, if some Rookie/Pro 1 doesn't jump on and refuse to move, knowing others don't want to jump on and play with him.

The 'squad spots' on each side still doesn't solve the problem of the spots barely working whatsoever. Or I take it you've never dealt with the problem of the Got Next/Squad Spots glitching out. You must have a special copy of 2k that nobody else has.

Guess what happens when people quit out in a Rec game? Oh right, it's user vs CPU, matchmaking or not. With matchmaking Crew Mode in place and a free roam Park mode, you're far more likely to run into full Crews, which are less likely to quit out than 5 randoms on one team.

And as far as the lag issue goes, matchmaking helps alleviate a good 80% of that simply because you only have to deal with 10 people in a session rather than 60+, which 2k has proven that their servers can't handle without serious lag issues.

In all honesty, I think you might be the only person I've ever seen that actually defends Got Next.
