The news comes from Ronnie2K. No major details yet, but Pro-Am is a major focus.

Since NBA 2K16 released on Friday, September 25, one of its major new modes, Pro-Am, has been broken for a vast majority of players. Most players are unable to even begin a game, while others can't join in with friends who live on opposite ends of the country.

We'll keep you posted when we get more details on the upcoming patch.

Can we please patch my favorite team and nothing else thanks ctfu. 99% of people who complain about colours need to calibrate their tv. Fix gameplay and modes and maybe do a likeness update midseason like how madden does

How were people supposed to know the ProAm mode didn't work before they bought it? The "Can anyone play ProAM?" thread was put up on Sept 28th by Steve, the day before the street release of 2k. Had people concerned with online play decided to wait until even the actual release day to purchase the game, they would have been tipped off that there was a ProAM issue before they even bought it. It's not like 2k hasn't had extreme issues with online play before this year. If people were concerned that 2k might have online issues again, then they should have waited to buy the game to make sure it was functional.

All I'm saying is that people can wait to buy a game to make sure everything works correctly before they purchase it. That's it.

I bought 2k last year well after launch, so I'm not familiar with whatever problems they have. And just because they have problems at launch doesn't mean people should just go "oh well" and move on, this is BS.

I just assumed since you've been coming to OS since 2003 that you would have known that 2k had online issues prior to this. I apologize. Next year I recommend you do not purchase this, or any other game, until you have been convinced that everything is 100% working properly. In case you were wondering: Most AAA games that have online components do not work 100% correctly at launch. I have also never seen a sports game that works online 100% correctly/smoothly at launch.

Hope they fix this for you and everyone so you can enjoy the game.

Please Fix Muidays inability to Dunk

# 25 kuo24 @ 10/08/15 12:02 AM

Playing from a 3rd world country, I've come to terms that I'm buying the games more for the offline modes rather than online. MyGM and MyLeague are more than enough to take up my time.

Looking forward to future patches. =)

anyway the jordan rec center can come back in a pacth would like to get faster rep

Fix the lack of sweat in extended-minute quarter games

It's bad enough that halftime/postgame highlights don't work properly after a certain quarter length on PS4...but obviously that's never getting fixed.

# 28 Smallville102001 @ 10/08/15 02:11 AM

Interesting that it will be around 2-3 weeks because the NBA season is about 3 weeks away so this could come out right around then. I wonder what will be fixed in this and I never start franchise modes in sports games in till like after the season starts any way because it takes like 1-2 months messing with sliders to find good ones any way and want start of the season rosters.

They need to fix the tattoos in nba 2k16. I can't equip any.. My game keeps crashing when i try to put some on. So annoying.

# 30 Hagar03 @ 10/08/15 05:28 AM

OMG How I hate this guy (Ronnie)!
'Talked about it yesterday', 'as said yesterday', yeah maybe somebody missed the broadcast??? smh

# 31 Kully @ 10/08/15 08:38 AM

How about the PC patch? That doesn't need certification.

# 32 ackonish @ 10/08/15 10:21 AM

I hope that they will address the problem where i am a point guard in MC, and after 6 seconds of the possession i get bad grade for holding the ball too much.

I Call the play, stand on the blue circle and puff, i am holding the ball too much.

Adress the guy in the stand that yells every time, "pass the ball it's taking too much" or what ever. He is like a stalker, he atended all the games since high school, College, home and away nba games... it is creepy to play when you have a stalker.

Agreed. Pro-Am is the only mode that does not work as advertised. However, what did shock me was the flawless My League Online. From some test runs through a full season with friends every aspect seems to be intact.

I can give you a reason why you should've at least considered the mode wasn't going to work properly. It's 2K their servers are ****, to put it bluntly. They always have troubles with their online modes, whether it be lag or something else.

And don't give me the same line I quoted because no 2K employee would bad mouth the company they worked unless they WANT TO GET FIRED!!!

# 36 Thadon89 @ 10/08/15 11:47 AM

HOPEFULLY THEY WOULD IMPLEMENT NORMAN 0OWELL REAL FACE INTO THE GAME INSTEAD OF THE CREATED ONE THE RAPTORS STILL LOOKS GOOD THIS YEAR

You mustve not played 2k16 becuase online play is FLAWLESS. There is absolutely no lag and it feels like a offline game. Even when i was finally able to get into Pro Am it had Zero lag and my team won in overtime

Because they want to keep their Twitter feeds full of glowing positivity about the game, and minimize any talk about the game not working.

So they mention it off hand in a stream instead of issuing a real statement on it.

"We talked about it in the stream, you didnt see it?"

As if their Twitter mentions haven't been getting flooded with Pro Am questions. Sure thing, guy.

I haven't played, you're right but it's irrelevant to my point. Because we didn't know how the servers were going to be this year. Prior to 16 there was always problems with the online servers of the game. As lag was a major problem last year. Go back and look at all the threads about it. PRIOR TO RELEASE we had no idea about how the servers were going to be.

Every time any news comes out about an update/patch/tuner, this board becomes a Wild West saloon...chairs start flying, bottles broken over heads, etc. High comedy!
