NBA 2K16 Pro-Am's Gameplay Problems Need to Be Patched

[yonly1ME]

I have more to post on this, but I think another issue in this was before the game even came out 2K said there were no position restrictions in Pro-Am.

If you have position restrictions they could have been something like this:

1 C, 1 PF, 1 SF, 1 SG, 1 PG
1 C, 1 PF, 1 SG, 1 SG, 1 PG
1 PF, 1 PF, 1 SF, 1 SG, 1 PG
1 C, 1 PF, 1 SF, 1 PG, 1 PG
etc.

Basically, you can't put 2 Centers (7'3") in the same lineup and you can't have more than 2 players of the same position.

It is easy to adapt to the game...but when you play CHEESERS who just do the same unrealistic thing every single time, it gets boring, and rather annoying.

I win most of the time, even against cheesers, but that doesn't mean it isn't annoying. Things have to be fixed, or people will complain about it. That is all this is...don't hate the haters, or you become a ***** yourself.

I have a PF with nothing into playmaking...still makes those deep passes like he is a Heisman winning QB. The game is broken...those cheesers can try and say that they are 'all that', but it is a fact, this game is allowing the cheesing. You can stop it...that is a truth, but there shouldn't even have to be an option of trying to stop it. IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! You posers trying to defend yourself are just proof of how crappy NBA 2k16 really is. You think you are special, but really, NBA 2k16 just sucks, and you guys are willing to tolerate the bull crap that this game allows...unlike most of the rest of us, who aren't willing to put in the time and effort to learn a game that SUCKS! You are posers...just face it.

You're wrong...maybe 1 out of 10 times it is a turnover. This game has a bunch of crap like the long passes down the court that are so unrealistic that it makes the game crappy, even if it looks cool. NBA 2k16 sucks...but unfortunately for basketball fans and gamers all around the world, it is the best option there is, so we have to deal with it. The numbers of complaints is astounding though, and so obviously the noise will be heard and maybe 2k will fix some of their major issues (but that doesn't seem likely, considering 2k's reputation).

Right on...the animations take a long time sometimes, and they aren't always consistent, so you never know what is coming. You can learn to deal with them, but it is frustrating when you are trying to do something and your player is stuck in a dumb animation that prevents any chance for success. There are so many things wrong with NBA 2k16, people who don't see it are either ignorant or just lacking the intelligence to understand the difference between good game play and CHEESING

It's one of the more easy animations to steal from, you just have to press square when you see the animation and it's a rip nearly every time. This is especially true when small forwards and big men try to do it. If guards hop step it's harder to steal but they are also shorter, so you can just put your hands up on defense. If people are getting to the lane and activating the hop step that means you are not keeping them in front of you on defense. Doesn't need to be patched, people need to learn how to play defense.

Thats not true...even if you are standing right in front of someone, they can hop step you and get by you...and alot of the time if you try to take a charge, you'll get called for a blocking foul just by standing in front of them. There is no quick fix, just hope that 2k doesn't screw you over because it is all a coin toss on whether plays are successful. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont. Ability doesn't matter in A LOT of NBA 2k16's major issues.

I was like wow this is what people do? So I adapted. I've played some fairly high ranked people in various basketball games and while I am honestly getting worse each year (mainly because I can't take the game serious and purposely make players that are outside of the 'meta' like my 6'7 'inside scoring' sf this year), I still have a pretty great understanding of everything that is going to happen. Your statement is untrue. You don't need to understand basketball to cheese, you have to learn what works. So much of the game is unexplored and, as I said, earlier I had much fun killing people with strategies they had never seen and couldn't stop because everyone follows the same patterns. I can identify all of these patterns, too. I think you are giving yourself too much credit, and I'm not trying to insult you, per se. I think it's cool that people are playing the game... like they used to have in 2k feedback system "knows the game well." Throws full court passes to t-mac, catches them, dunks every time... yep, they do. Same w/ the people who are playing now. The difference is... well, it seems to be getting worse. It's more of a mockery. Maybe I'm getting worse. haha. I'll admit it's possible, but it seems like you used to be able to fight back against the cheese more than now. Two 7'3 guys and a bunch of pgs? That's really sad. I dunno if it's better than 5 7 foot sfs. The point is: for whatever reason 2k has really screwed up balancing their game from a competitive standpoint. Cheese has counters. That is what meta is. Exploits, I would say, don't have counters. Cheese is something over-effective that you can base your game off of, like repeated cross overs. You can counter it, sure... but not as a 'normal team.' You go in with a 1-5 balanced team vs what they have now, you are gonna get crushed. That's cheese. You shouldn't have to look at some guide before you build your team, there should be various ways to accomplish the same goal. 2k is v flawed in terms of 5v5. Park is, too, but park is meant to be arcade. I'm not really mad... some things made me mad, like people setting picks in the paint, but it's more of sad... it's like I also wanna compete in this tourney, you know, but I don't wanna roll a 7'3 dude or a pg and play the same 'cheesy' style everyone else is. Just kinda felt like typing an essay because the tone of your post made me feel like you were defending your play style. Post a game of top teams that is like real bball and I'll eat my words. In fact, I want to eat my words so I can find my 6'7 defensive stopper SF a place in pro am without knowing I am always at a disadvantage cuz I can't check some 6'2 guy who is moving side to side w/ crossovers until he gets free and fires up a 25 footer. -Smak

BINGO! Cheesers think they are good, but really, they just know how to exploit the problems with the game. You poser cheesers can try to defend yourself...but be honest, the only reason you are good is because you exploit the flaws in the game and go up against people who aren't willing to play a game that just isn't worth putting in the effort. ADMIT IT! NBA 2k16 is just a bad game.

Why is the power ranking system so flawed? My team was ranked in the mid 900s, got matched up with a bad team & won the game and the rank dropped (imo it should've just not moved at all; it isn't our fault we got matched up with them). Then earlier today we got matched up with a newly created team that was 6-0 and lost by 3pts and the rank plummeted to the 1500s.
