Dear dudes having issues ranking up at the park;

[nry20]

You get more grade for pressing the pass button. Grade = Rank.

Seriously.


I've seen so many rookie 1's today that just went all kobe/melo and were total ballstops that it made me laugh out loud. You guys wonder why 2 weeks in people are jumping off the spots next to you? It's because you're 30 games in and you haven't established a good enough average grade to rank up.

Things that happen when you actually pass the ball that you get half a grade or more for:
Assist
Pass to Assist
Good Ball Movement


Things that give little grade but still happen off passes:
Pass to Foul
Alley-Oop Thrower


Things that can happen when you shoot and give tiny amounts of grade:
Good shot selection

That's it. Had a dude crying in one of my games because I'm allstar 1 that he "always got bad teammates and lost so his grade never went up", meanwhile I'm balling an A+ at the end and he said he had a D-. Can you guess what kind of player he was? Ball gets to him, he dribbles around for a few seconds, then he shoots right in that place or tries to drive 1v2, meanwhile there was a guy wide open 2 feet away from him that would've made an easy shot since he got both defenders jumping at him.


So please. Don't cry about your rank at the park if you play like garbage. It's not that hard to pass and no one is going to feel sorry for you if you don't.

Lol... ain't that the truth! Well put, couldn't have said it better. Be more like Jason Kidd than A.I. haha

While what you said is true, it wouldn't matter right now because park rep keeps resetting.

This ish right here. I swear I hate when I play with dudes who think they're Jordan.

I haven't had this issue at all or I wouldn't of gotten all star 1.

Wish I knew what people were doing to reset it, can't do anything to help people though. Maybe someone should stream themselves resetting their rep.

I should have been an allstar 3,on pro 1 right now. I "unlocked" pro 2 this afternoon, bought the signature walks, I still have the walks, but somehow I'm a pro 1 when I join my next game. After we win a game it gives me the rep shows me that I ranked up and by the time we set up for the next game, my rep goes back to what it was earlier. its a random occurence where the rep actually saves.

Does the park with now?

There's WAY too much "hero" ball going on in the park. A dude on my team was talking smack after he scored 7 of our 14 points...on literally 20 shots. 1 on 3 drives, pull up 3's...SMH.
