2K Pro-Am in NBA 2K16?

[abcfinest]

I thought 2k was gone implement pro am in 2012 with 2k13 because of the lockout that happen the year before in 2011. In 2011 most of the nba players were playing in pro am games. This got me excited. Hopefully we can play offline with our my player and nba players. Online it should be 5v5 with all myplayers. We should be able do a quick match with randoms or create a team and play other teams. Hopefully it's like crew where it takes 3 real players to play but we can use 2 cpu nba players if we dont got 5 of out friends online .

Not quick fixed. Properly fixed. Hence why it's been 4/5 years and it still hasn't been brought back.

Just because a mode has problems does that mean it needs to be gone forever? Lol don't get me started on MyTeam.

But Ima stay on topic, I wouldn't mind a Drew League style league online with our myplayers and CPU NBA players to make up the rest of our teams.

I just notice on the pro am pic that 2k tweeted. It shows 5 guys. 3 faces they show and the other 2 faces on the ends are blank. So my theory is that it takes 3 my players to start a team and you can add 2 cpu players if you don't have 5 myplayers online ready to play

I was thinking something along those lines but idk they always leave us speculating and wont ever say what it is.

I believe what Jrocc is saying is in terms of myplayer online its a lot more cheese now then before, which wouldn't be a false statement at all back then really only had to deal with hop step in paint and hacked players, wasnt any zig zaggin, no step back corner 3s, no traveling, no dunking on someone 50 times a game, no abusing behind the back. Game play is better now yes but what came along with that is a lot more cheese stuff in terms of my player online.

Right. A tweet out to millions for a re-skin. Makes total sense considering the high amount of utter stupidity that runs rampant there...

Almost all of those things you mention were absolutely possible in 2k11. They just weren't used as much as the lightning rod tactics of the time. There was traveling. There was OP dunking. There was the baseline cheese. Offball defense was big point of discussion. The behind the back cross was just as effective - just harder to pull off because of responsiveness. And wasn't there a shot that was treated as layup, making it money from any distance? Or was that 12. Frankly, zigzagging is not as effective now as it was earlier in the cycle. Most of this stuff is negated by good defense and are not impossible to stop as the tactics from 2k11. Those were completely unstoppable.

People looking at 2k11 with rose tinted glasses. I'm sorry but it's the truth.
