RTTF/RTTAG qualification is a complete joke

[Korrupted]

Cmon 2k...why even start the qualifying rounds knowing PRO-AM is still broken? It's make no sense. Qualifying comes down to pure luck of the draw...it's worse than last year. You have to pray you don't lagout and pray you don't play against comp to even have a slight chance of qualifying. We didn't play 1 5v5 game today. The very first matchup was against Effortless Talent (#1 team on Xbox) which was a 2v3. We got the W but only got 700 points for the game. The game that knocked us out was 1v5. Do better SMH.

2K should have postponed this event given the dysfunctional and unreliable state of their servers since Christmas.

Especially since that stupid scoring system 2K insists on using is dependent on the amount of CPU players that are in a game at the moment it finishes. Every AI player that's on the court takes away from your potential point total.

I remember seeing somewhere where they said that the scoring system would differ from 2k16 to 2k17...I think it was in a release stream maybe...

But then it was revealed to be the exact same thing.

Have a team in Elite, but this week's servers + confirmation of exact same scoring system makes us not even care as much.

The servers don't bother me as its was expected that they would be terrible but I'm so disappointed they blew the qualifier yet again with this bogus scoring system that is pretty dependent of how often u can draw a trash team that won't quit on you when you blow them out by 50. The fact that playing a team of like 3 guys all 55 ovr gives u more points than beating a top ranked team is sad and 2k needs to be ashamed they thought even for a moment it was a good idea to implement the system like that

I still think humans need to be involved, but it's really hard to figure out how they would make that work. I mean, it seems like it would take a lot of people to pull it off, but I really wish they could have some people who watched some games each night... and chose who qualified, or at least put them into a bigger pool.

Obviously, there are a lot of teams, but most are trash. It would be arbitrary, but they could weed out people who might be trying to game the system to qualify, and weed out people who weren't any fun to watch (people who do the same thing over and over, etc.) Could also have a few fan choices.

If they qualified you on mastery of the game opposed to record/pointspread whatever they do... it might actually lead to better e-sports. Not saying don't pick people who aren't so good at the game that they look cheesy, but not pick the people who all play the freaking same w/ the same team composition.

But I'm pretty sure it would be more work than it's probably worth...

They should've made it so that you had to be at least Elite 4 to enter the qualifiers.

That way it would've weeded out all of the scrubby teams and it would've meant that the top echelon of teams would've been competing against each other to qualify.

Having all elites being able to enter the qualifiers makes the whole thing a lottery.

The scoring system is good. The servers were the problem.

So...what would you do to improve the system? You've written out the issues but have offered no solutions or ideas in how to fix it (whether your idea is simple or complicated).
