What I envisioned was something like NFL 2K5's first person football when I heard 2k was going VR.

Seems pretty entertaining for what it is though.

I love and own psvr but this looks completely lame.

I totally agree.
This looks really stupid.
It is laughable the way the hands are on the ball in the 3pt shootout.
One hand behind the ball? WTH?

So begins the akward VR phase, wonder if anything will come of this in years to come (not hopeful) I buy 2K for semi-realistic ball and not...whatever this trash is (Mario Party-2K?).

Oh actually saw it's a standalone thing (still looks duuuumb). I wish Park was standalone instead of this almost basketball-inspired Wii sports clone.
