10**. A simple solution would be to put the remaining upgrades back in MyCareer rather than have people play 7k games in the Park to earn them. I have no clue who idea that was from the start but it was a horrible one.

last year was epic leading into the tourny. now we have more flawed gameplay, buggier servers and the glitched 98s? WITH THE POINTS SYSTEM?

This is the only gaming tournament I have ever seen where stat padding and blowing out bad teams is rewarded over beating good teams in close, competitive contests. Plus any team that likes to play basketball at a slow, methodical pace instantly has no chance of qualifying in a system that favors high scores and high margins of victory. That same issue hurts teams who like to take 2 point shots over 3 point shots; you are inherently at a disadvantage in this system if you're not fastbreaking as much as possible and hunting for a three pointer every single possession. The thing that disappoints me the most about this tournament structure is how 2K used to have a much better qualifying system on the Xbox 360 with games like College Hoops 2K8 and All Pro Football 2K8, where your advancement was only based on winning, with no weight being put on margin of victory. Collusion also wasn't possible in the old College Hoops/All Pro Football tournaments, because players were put into a March Madness style bracket instead of the blind matchmaking system that was used for 2K16 and is returning for 2K17, which can easily be abused if two team captains with similar rankings and a similar geographic location get into the same party chat and press the search button at the exact same time. The fact that 2K still hasn't done anything to penalize all of the 98 overall glitchers who have 15 extra attribute upgrades compared to people who've played the game fairly just makes this tournament even less legitimate than last year's debacle.

The majority of weight is still placed on winning. It wasn't listed in the post but its in the rules on the website. Once a team loses they are done for the day (they can try and qualify in later rounds). This should A, cut down on collusion and B, assure that teams who win the most games, qualify.

If you expect this to run smoothly or work as intended in any way, you've not been paying attention since NBA 2k17 released.

Not one single thing they have tried, promised, claimed, fixed, worked on, or patched has even come close to working.

2 months and 7 patches and we're still playing a broken game.

I wish 2K would focus on fair competition

1) Get rid of the double team and intentional foul glitch (hella annoying legacy glitch). Pressing LB = defensive awareness boost glitch. Part of the reason CPU has such sticky hands on defense.

2) Get rid of CPU PLAYS in a MANUAL MODE smh

3) Attribute boosts allowed?

4) HOF Sharpshooters are OP

5) 98 OVR glitchers



With $250k on the line, you'd think the #1 priority would be to make the competition fair.

You're wrong. The game is great and has gotten better since launch. Claiming it's 'broken' is ridiculous.

PRO-AM is still broken if you don't know what you're doing. Elite 4 and higher games continue to have random lagouts. That's a huge issue heading into the qualifying rounds for RTTAG.


On another note I'm thinking the Skill Based Matchmaking system will be turned off once the tourney starts....? If not comp will play comp and it'll be hard as hell to qualify.

Less tournaments and more fixes for this broken game.

We have enough with the cap atributtes for not separate online/offline modes and with VC more and more expensive every year.
