So are they gonna make rosters and working leaderboards to make it more esports?

I don't understand why people keep saying brought 99, you have to play game for badges and practice for upgrades

No, before a patch you could simulate games and get free VC, didn't have to play a minute and you could get 500 or more a game, and sim to a practice..all these guys did was exploit the game for free upgrade slots and attributes.

I'd be willing to say the majority of 99's you see did that and aren't legit.
It's not fair to people who aren't gonna cheat to gain these advantages, which is the whole problem with making the game competitive.

But what about badges?

Anyone else want to join? SMF or PF and must have a mic on xbox1.

I assume they will implement a new leaderboard and make it to where you have a "clan" and have a team of five only. Like all other eSport games.

It's going in the right direction. It just needs to be geared on skill more. Buying vc or cheating to get your myplayer to 99 is def a let down. Plus would love to see the old quick match become an Esports. The whole point of E Sports is for competition and based on skills. Which is why Myteam wouldnt work for it. Either way it's good that NBA 2K is looking to put a foot in the doors in terms of E Sports!

They gotta patch in rosters for this right?

# 30 Ray Vibes @ 12/22/15 04:43 PM

Cash Prize? Sorry to all of you other Pro-Am squads, but this one belongs to us lol.

Anyone looking to join our squad. Need a SG and SMF and need to be very active and have a mic. On the xbox 1 and we are only going to roll with 5 players since I believe the eSports league will make u do that.

I still don't know why people just quit out of the games sometimes. Makes it more difficult on everyone else.

# 34 KyotoCarl @ 12/22/15 06:57 PM

I don't play online but that's cool! That's a real announcement.
I'm just glad this announcement wasn't about digital clothes or shoes.

# 35 Ray Vibes @ 12/22/15 08:39 PM

Looks like they are talking about it on their stream tonight. Right now I'm at work and cant watch it. If anyone could post anything new that they go over would be great.

# 36 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 12/22/15 09:59 PM

2k needs to force ppl to use 5 players no CPU . Straight up

# 37 Steve_OS @ 12/22/15 10:07 PM

Added the archived livestream to the OP, for those that missed it.

# 38 Viking2855 @ 12/22/15 10:26 PM

Yeah this is a good idea in theory, but unfortunately when it comes to this game mode and myPark NBA dropped the ball because there are still players in the game that are 7'4 who can dribble, with speed that is just not possible. So as I said seems like a cool idea but this is not a game of skill its people who create ridiculous characters then buy the VC to have an unrealistic player.

# 39 Ray Vibes @ 12/22/15 10:31 PM

A lot of crying about this...

# 40 Jrocc23 @ 12/22/15 11:24 PM

I still don't get why people want REC center back so bad. 2K just needs to add rep to Pro-Am but I don't see why it's a demand for rec when it's walk on.
