NBA 2K16 2K Pro-Am: Hit or Miss?

I would rather they remove this mode and my player altogether. Will never understand how someone can create themselves and pretend they are in the NBA. Only thing nice about this is the custom arena stuff. I wont be touching this mode at all but if it works for you have fun with it.

Why should they remove this mode because it doesn't appeal to you? There are plenty of other game modes that use NBA players.

1. Not everyone creates themselves. Those who do are usually the same people who create themselves in RPGs and other genres. I take it turn about, one year I create myself the next year I make a fictional player. Why do people do this? Well it's different for everyone. I suppose kids will be doing it because they're visualising their dreams, their ultimate goal. I do it for the same reason I play video games to begin with, for the same reason I listen to music, watch movies and read books. Escapism. I like to be immersed into that world and being able to make the character look a little like you can help with being immersed.

2. Some people just like the story mode aspect. Personally I've always been fascinated with what goes on behind the scenes in a sports franchise. So a story that reflects that is pretty cool. It's also more similar to other games. Sports games for a while we're just sports games. Now with these story modes they've opened themselves up to a large audience, any other genre you play has a story mode. Why shouldn't a sports game?

3. You're in the minority. End of. My Career is their biggest mode because it appeals to both the casual fans as well as a small chunk of the die hard fans (like myself). It's the most accessible mode because it has a story to play through which is a format people are accustomed to and you only have to control one player which makes the game simpler and easier to learn.

4. Playing online with a team of friends is the best part of any video game (since online was invented, I preferred having my friends in the same room back in the day but whatever). I love coop modes and anything that involves you and your buddies teaming up and working together to destroy an opponent.

5. Some people (like myselfs) are suckers for customisation. Making something unique and truly feel like "yours" is a big plus for me. I would rather have that than everyone playing on the same court.


I hope that helped you understand. If not, Gtfo, go to another thread and discuss quick matches or whatever game mode you're into. Fact of the matter is about 50% (if not more) of the 3k community has been asking for crew to return. It has. And the vast majority of 2k players play My Career in some way, it's the most popular mode. If you don't get it that's fair enough.

im not the feeling the name its self Pro-Am ? why?

[tru11]

depends on servers and if there will be caps on the ratings depending on height per position.

7`3 SF with 90 speed, handling and such gonna make it a mode to quickly forget about for me.

no shade thrown, but based on this screen shots of the players 2k still hasnt fixed up their skin textures. Their skin textures are kind of plastic like (not as bad as live 14 tho), but they definitely have an oilsheen look on them. I was hoping they would get their skin to look more like skin.

Because Pro-Am is an actual name for a pro amateur tournament. Look it up on YouTube.
