2K Pro-Am in NBA 2K16?

[24ct]

Yeah IDK why they took 5v5 out of park considering that's where I made a lot of friends. Just from playing the way I play. Which is good shot selection and good passes to open guys. Or basically fundamental BBALL guys would always chat like 'you got a mic dude' then we would run 3v3 or get a better 5 but having that 5v5 in the middle was perfect.

I wouldn't even be mad @ a 4v4 to be honest. We need more choice TBH. We spend a lot of money on this game.

People that want to play basketball are going to buy the game either way man. There are #ArcadeNation and #SimNation modes. MyPlayer and Park are not realistic modes of basketball. They will never be because they are for the casuals. Get over it fellas. That is their realm. Those are the people that are willing to spend the $, not us hardcore fans.

The end of the day, the goal is to make $. That is what they will do.

We, realistic basketball video game players, have our modes. Let the casuals have their modes.

They might buy the game but will they continue playing the game through January if the game is too difficult? Absolutely not. And if the game is too difficult, will that same person buy the game next year? We can't guarantee that.

We are being short-sighted here.

Buy VC and you're better than MJ or Lebron wished they coulda been their rookie year. The game will never be balanced in these modes until 2K creates some HARD caps: NO centers with over a 70 shot, speed, or ballhandling. NO pfs with over an 80 shot, speed, ballhandle, and a max of 6'11. .... Small forwards need major work. If you got a 95 speed, you can't have a handle like AI and a block/rebound like DeAndre. And no way you're over 6'10.

You do have a point, but there's the other side of it:

Will he keep playing if he's getting worked by 100 other Jordans? Will he keep playing offline if it's just too easy and becomes boring?

I say you have as much, if not more, of that risk of boring people, than those that get frustrated with a challenging game. All I know is that chess is not easy and people LOVE it because of that depth and variety.

Agree 100% on this .. I have pretty much stopped playing 2k15 months ago cause of boredom cause playing with 7 foot jordans in the park and even before they was around it's is just the same game everytime with zig zagging, shoot a 3.... repeat, and offline against the cpu is stale and monotonous.

WE enjoy the challenge.

WE enjoy the dept and variety.

A LOT of people just want to play with their 95 speed 7'3 SF and dunk on folks. A LARGE number of people want to do that.

2K knows that, and that is why those modes are catered to them
