4 of the 5 Pro Am tournament qualification events for 2K17 were marred by frequent in-game lag and lots of prematch/midmatch player disconnections.

Plus multiple players from multiple teams got lagged out of the Pro Am tournament games last weekend, even when $250,000 was on the line.

And 2K's in-game Streamcast feature was bugging out most of last weekend, making it difficult to watch the tournament games live.

The technology powering Pro Am still has a ton of improvement to make before it's ready for big-money esports.

2K has gotten away with a lot of technological blunders in Pro Am this year because no media outlets are covering the mode right now beyond reposting the occasional press releases that 2K sends their way.

If people like ESPN are going to cover this mode, though, and actually shine a spotlight on it when things go poorly (as has been the case many times this year), then 2K has a lot of technological refinement to do if they don't want this venture to blow up in a bad way.

Yup, hoping this isn't just some marketing ploy, or I don't think it'll work and teams will get exposed. Bball iq can't be faked. And so many popular youtubers are trash at the game, they just entertain.

Re: NBA and Take-Two partnering on NBA 2K Esports League

I wanna be hyped but I can't see this working well. I guess I'm just having hard time getting past the letdowns we have already had. And I'm pretty sure even if this does work like someone else said it won't be for the average guy it's most likely a marketing ploy where all the players are gonna be streamers and YTrs

I'm assuming these games will be in person on LAN so likely no server or network issues.
