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

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)

I noticed that on the PS4. Ten minutes after the patch release we were loading instantly into games. No got next like being a walk-on. However, that leaderboard and the stats displayed had us in the party angry. Even the overalls were screwed up and we all played the correct positions. At least the win-loss is correct?

Aside from one or two gameplay boost, you spend hours grinding just to brag, take your shirt off and activate goofy dances. The reward does not match the effort required to reach it. However, for those of us who want a more sim experience, Pro-Am is the way to go. I don't care about "rep" because my version of it is the leaderboard.

Spot on man. Pro-Am is exactly what it was advertised to be. 5v5. No cheese. Sim Basketball.

I'm playing as a walk-on right now since my crew is more concerned with My Park right now. I was able to get into games super smooth and quick. 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?

Nah it is setup a bit slower. Your player feels heavier. I would blame lag but at the same time if you have the speed, height, etc. advantage this mode is the place to use it.

And you can still have that. But implement Rep. There's a perspective that somehow if they implement Rep that it will become "cheese". That is absolutely not the case and I cringe everytime I hear somebody say that. Gameplay determines cheese, and right now the gameplay in Pro-Am is perfect. Having people gain rep for playing won't change that.

It would be very simple to implement some sort of Rep system. If the players in your squad are all from that same affiliation, then you gain some sort of Rep repping that affiliation in a Pro-Am game.

I'm just happy Ronnie2K and LD2K said on their stream Tuesday that they'll talk to the devs about implementing rep in Pro-Am, as it was much requested by the comments. Because as much as people say they are two complete separate game modes, they are not. You are even wearing your Park clothing right there in Walk-On games!

Hell, they even have a Pro-Am billboard in MyPark.
