NBA 2K15's MyPark Needs Traditional Lobbies and Matchmaking

11:20 AM - November 4, 2014 by RaychelSnr

The latest patch finally stabilized NBA 2K15's troublesome MyPark mode and fixed the frequent dashboard crashes that had been disrupting online sessions since release day.

But even now, with MyPark mostly working as intended, the overall experience remains more frustrating than fun.

Developer Visual Concepts seems insistent on distancing this mode from expected "competitive online multiplayer" norms like pre-game lobbies and identical team uniforms. Yet MyPark's inefficient match-finding system and style-over-function design fail to justify all these unnecessary deviations from online gaming's traditions.

hi i am a member of a Spanish crew. we love to play this game and have spent years doing it. The edition of this year resulting spectacular. The only problem beyond normal with this type of game is that you can not access servers and would like us to play against the best, plus the European servers are usually pretty empty. We would appreciate much any American player hereby added us as a friend to try to keep your server and see if we can also use access servers. Played my id is todasde3 ps4. Thank you very much.

I've been able to speak with teammates without having to party. Most people don't want to talk, but that's another issue.

Whenever I'm not inside a party, the majority of microphone icons that pop up on my screen will just sound like garbled static. I can't recall ever hearing someone speak clearly in a public Park game.

I'm not sure if that's just from people leaving their mics on without being aware of it, or if there's something legitimately wrong with how the mode handles public voice chat.

100% agreed. I won't play mypark because I refuse to waste time waiting for a game. That's a waste of my time. When you can get in a game, its fun, really fun. Especially if you find a couple decent players to play with.

Here are my issues with the Park. I enjoy the mode so it's not all complaints but these are the things I dislike:

1) Waiting for a game as mentioned can be frustrating. I don't have a lot of friends that play 2K so a majority of the time I'm playing with randoms. The worst? When you've waited out nearly an entire game with like 4 people, need just one more and a squad comes up and fills the spots to take it from you automatically. It's kind of biased to squads which really isn't fair in my opinion.

2) On top of that, one of the reasons it takes so long is because people are too overall conscious. I'm an 89 overall and I tried to start a game earlier by getting on a court. I had just about everyone in the rec center stop for a second, then quickly run off. Really? I'm not at all saying I'm great cause I can have my bad games but if you're not at 90, it's like people want nothing to do with you. I admit, I tend to overall watch too because playing with guys who are 90's can be a chore so I do the opposite and try to play with people in the 70's and 80's who seem more willing to share the ball. If there's one spot left though and I'm the only one of my affiliation there, then I'll get on the spot and play.

3) There's still a lot of cheese with overpowered players. I know a lot of people are mixed about this wanting high 90's players for their MyCareers but it really stinks for the Park or rec center because ti's very hard to defend them and that behind the back animation is ridiculous.

I really don't know if I want full out Crew because I wouldn't have anyone to play with but maybe you can let people have crew kind of like you did The Stage as their own mode for squads and then keep the Park/Rec Center as separates or something. That's my two cents.

Good Lord, tonight is dreadful. Waited forever to get in a court with four guys, game ends and the team who lost comes right around and takes the squad spots to get right back in it.

Then i see a lot of guys in the same faction as me running around this one court where four of another faction had the got next...so I tried to play dirty and invited the other Ballers to squad up...sent out a handful of invites figuring some wouldnt accept. For whatever reason it wouldnt let me in the squad spots but the others got on and filled them.

Looking for an athletic, rebounder PF or C... we are an unselfish team! our team = +/- pro 3 ... ratings +/- 88

We do that sometimes. Why? Yeah because we're 6 (3on3) or 10 (5on5) guys who want to play a private match against each other. There the matchmaking comes into play. Sometimes it's really hard to just play against your friends...

# 31 nc0ffey @ 11/11/14 08:57 PM

Got in some great games with two randoms today, finally might have some good guys to squad up with...just in time for me to start playing a lot less 2k with GTA coming next week.
