5on5 all humans vs 3on3 with BOTS Pro-Am


5 vs 5

pros:

- organic
- equal playing field competition


cons:

- dudes who are too lazy to find 2 more guys can't play


3 out of 5 with AI

pros:

- dudes who are too lazy to find 2 more guys get to play


cons:

- overpowered CPU
- users will just use CPU to double team every possession
- bloated user stats (affects leaderboard) due to stats being divided by 3 instead of 5. taints the leaderboard authenticity.
- unequal experience / inconsistent format
- some poor schmuck usually ends up having to guard the CPU




5vs5 & 3vs3 should be 2 separate modes. Seriously, who likes playing with BOTS in ANY online multiplayer game? It taints the whole experience.

I ONLY play rec and cpu is trash, sure it gets steals if u do stupid passes but the cpu cant rebound to save its life. I mainly play Center and everytime my opponent quits I get excited, thats usually an easy 20+ rebound game depending on how good the other squad is. Overall, the cpu hasn't been overpowered in years.

You're right. CPU isn't that good. Definitely wasn't in 2K11, but they are a lot better than they were now. But it's not a big deal, the only negative thing about the CPU is having them guard you because they can sometimes play psychic defense. But the CPU in 2K15, when a user quits in Rec or Park, the person that has a CPU defending him usually cooks them.

Once the game is released. You won't hear much complaining. It's much better to be able to start w/ 3-5 players. You rarely heard complaining about it in 2K10 and 2K11. CPU isn't that big of a factor and won't get the ball all like that anyways with users.

It worked fine in 2k11. We don't have to worry about the game being laggy from 10 people playing. I think it's actually better to not have to play with 5 human players but still play a 5 on 5 NBA style game. I play team up a lot with my friends and we usually play 3 vs 3 so you have 2 CPU players on each team.

Jesus, playing the mode without a full 5 was one of the most sought out features for Pro-Am.

Yet you still have people complaining...

CPU taints the game. Makes the leaderboard meaningless. If you got 3 guys sharing that stats for the whole team, it taints the entire leaderboard. Not to mention how fun is it to guard/be guarded by the CPU? Not to mention the mode is supposed to replicate real life. How many iRobots do you see running around at your local gym?

Sought for by guys who want to bloat their stats. Always been against that 'cause it diminishes the "manual-ness" of the mode. 2K14 crew was the least cheesy by far.

Who says this mode is supposed to replicate real life? Because to me this is the complete opposite of a real life mode? How many guys actually create an NBA court in their backyard and then find 9 other guys and run 5 v.5 games. And change the colors on those courts every other night. Also how many guys a jersey for them and their friends to play these games? If anything MyPark represents real life than this mode.
