NBA 2K16: Pro-Am is Here, And It Was Worth the Wait

My walk on crew went on a quick 3 game win streak to my amazement. When the game was over, some of our teammates logged out and were promptly replaced with new users quite swiftly as we waiting on the court for them. As soon as I create a crew, I can't wait to try out the custom stadiums. Pro-Am is here! P.S. Does anybody know what the game speed and difficulty for Pro-Am is set at? I play on 50 speed in My Career but Pro-Am seems significantly slower. Is this lag or nah?

It did feel a tad slower. Players within my crew also noticed their ratings dropped several points within Pro-Am. I played about 7 games last night with my team and one of those games we actually played LD2K and we also played about 4 games as walk ons. Then we went back to the park and played about 3 games. The two modes( Pro-Am/MyPark) are different from each other and I enjoy that aspect.

If your squad is all from the same affiliation, then you gain some sort of Rep for repping that affiliation in a Pro-Am game. It's really that simple. A simple search shows that this is a wanted thing.

It's being brought up as this is the only mode out there that allows you to play 5 vs. 5 with your friends.

I like 4v4 or 3v3 in MyPark don't get me wrong. It's basically the same as last year. But it certainly doesn't have that feel that you'd get last year at the Rec, playing 5 minute quarters, 5v5 with your friends for rep.

The demand is out there clearly.

2K took out two things in MyPark from last year, Rec and High Rollers at The Stage. Why they thought it was a great idea to take out things from last year is unknown.

You already know bruh

I really need my Xbox One patch now. This is why people were so angry that this feature didnt work on day one. Too much promise and too much promotion to be broken on day one. I cant wait to get on the court and destroy folks in the 5 vs 5 again.

what do you need rep for? this isnt the park, where you are rewarded for playing ignorantly and flashy. Its a pro-am not And-1 mixtape mode.

I played about 4 games of MyPark last year but I get your point of having 5v5. I didn't even bother with the Rec Center. What's the point of having Rep though? Just for the simple thought of gaining something for playing?

Pro-Am 5 vs. 5 plays exactly how the Rec played last year (The Walk-On courts is literally the Rec Center redesigned). Nobody is saying they want it to play like it does in MyPark.

is this mode supposed to give VC because I haven't gotten any. I'm really disappointed that myLeague online doesn't give VC either. I feel punished for trying to play with my friends.
