The way the servers of 2k works no way this can be succesfull.
For the near future i don't see it sucessfull but for the long term if servers are located a lot of the places in the world then maybe why not..

I like the idea, but 2k isn't a game of skill. It a game of chance and random moments. If people give cod a hard time , Idk how 2k gets a pass

Can't wait to see the casts from this, its going to be depressing watching the high level cheesers go at it.

Wow! So many negative comments. This is actually good news! 2K Sports will more than likely have rules and guidelines like they did when they USED to run tournaments for the PS2 and original X-Box eras.

Damn shame I live in a state where you can't win prizes in "skilled" tournaments though.

My hope is that seeing the elite cheesers pulling out all the stops will help the development team tighten some things up for 2K17.

Waiting to hear more news. If it's setup good, I might have to start playing Pro-Am.

Huge cash prize and trip to NBA finals, you think these guys are going to try to win by fundamentals and team basketball?

All the stops will be pulled out to ensure a win

My record on Pro Am is 61 and 25....I swear to you I've lost 2 games.

The other 23 losses are people lagging out and the team just backed out because it's no fun not having our guys with us.

So that means about a quarter of our games are dropped. That's not a good thing if you're trying to compete for something. Our rank was in the top 500 down to 2000 just for "losing" a game we left after 2 guys dropped.

I like the direction they're going in, but the connection won't allow it to be fair. And having these guys who exploited and bought that 99 overall is a contradiction to competitive gameplay where it needs to be skill not pocket size.
Take VC out of online competition first, then I can really get behind this.
