That's why we're trying to differentiate between My Park and this ProAm or even the Rec Center.

My Park is fun when you're screwing around. Go on a nice little win streak, learn your dribbles and shot, throw some oops, don't worry bout d; it's just the arcade mode.
Keep it how it is...I mean try to fix the double dribble glitch, zig zags, and screen cheese but that's obvious..don't expect to see "real" basketball in a 3v3 fullcourt game I guess.

But when you go to the Rec/ProAm (however it's going to be), why can't it be sim-oriented? Fouls should be called on-par with the real game. Shouldn't be able to dribble for 20 seconds every possession. Shouldn't be able to jack terrible shots and have them go in.
Basically nothing from the Park should translate as a viable gameplan once you come to these other modes.
Whether it be 2K nerfing playstyles or heights, or tuning the sliders better, whatever the case us guys just don't want to see this in these new modes.

And there's a lot of sim players who play My Career, I actually made a new guy and glitched an edited roster with sliders I got on here into the game just so I could play even more realistically. Scoring 60 a game gets old after a while and I think even the casuals want more of a challenge sometimes.

I agree with you the Rec or Pro-Am should be more sim. The gameplay should feel similar to team up. I just hope this mode is sim style basketball and feels like a real NBA or regulation game not a streetball pick up game. Give us ability to call timeouts make subs even if it's made up players.

To he fair if you've ever watched a pro/am you'll know it's not anywhere near the level of nba in terms of officiating or even competitiveness.

There's so much flash at those things it's ridiculous. Jamal Crawford regularly tears up the Seattle one. He usually drops 40 or 50+ and most of it comes from flashy one on one play due to the exceptional handles he has.

If I had to compare real life proam to a video game mode I would probably compare it to the park.

I hope I'm wrong and you guys are right and they aim towards sim style. But I have serious doubts about that.

Yea I know what you talking about I've seen some pro-am leagues that just puts on a show but I've also seen pro-am leagues were it's more about winning than being flashy. We used to have a good pro-am league here in Flint. It was all about winning and having bragging rights more than trying to be flashy.

Well we know nothing exactly about pro am so we are all just speculating things.

Spencer Hawes did the same stuff...but it's only because they're playing around against college level competition basically.

Hopefully they're just calling it a pro am because you build your team with random guys you meet online and travel to different courts and play other teams?

it will be fye if the 2k pro-am would be a offseason league in my career. a mixture of nba stars on different teams. a 20 game season with playoffs involved. just like in real life when the nba lockout occured.

I bet the info about this mode will come close when Live release their info about their online mode in August. But I hope ProAM is like fifa ProClubs.. WAIT ProAM....PROCLUBS???????????? 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀
