What position you play? Looking for a PF or another Center to run with 4 others I have.

Pro-Am finally works.. and it's pretty awesome.. It would a million times better though if there were team rosters. But still..

I don't know if it's too soon to nitpick, but the leaderboards are still screwed up, the 5 players's names and stats in the matchmaking queue do not show up, nor do the team records, ranks, and win percentages.

The patch was huge though.. It definitely saved this game mode, and for me, this game. I hope 2K keeps improving and expanding the mode because it has the potential to be the best thing frickin thing 2k has ever done (in my book)

Are you looking for a squad? Really looking for a PF that plays smart on PS4. We have 4 players. 2 of the 4 are on almost every night the other 2 are on maybe every other night depending on their schedules.

I was literally so hyped for this mode. But with the exclusion of gaining any sort of rep, it's like what's the point?

Who over at 2K thought this was a good decision?

^^^ I agree with you. They should of done it like the Rec from last years game. Gain rep for playing those longer games and getting real stats. Hopefully they consider it. I've been playing 4v4 on Sunset to make up for it.

But rep is for MyPark rewards. Strolls, clothes, some play boosts; NONE of which have anything to do with ProAm.

if you want rep, play MyPark. Those rewards do nothing in ProAm; so I don't know why you want rep in ProAm.

Because right now there is not an equivalent 5 vs. 5 court that you can play with your MyPlayer and friends for rep (i.e. Rec from last year).

That is why I, and many other people want rep for Pro-Am. If they can't add rep then at least add a 5 vs. 5 Rec in MyPark.

This game was so much about adding new features and new modes... but they took out one of the biggest (and most addictive) reasons that make people continue to play this game throughout it's life cycle.
