NBA 2K16 Pro-Am's Gameplay Problems Need to Be Patched

01:58 PM - January 25, 2016 by RaychelSnr

The NBA 2K series' longstanding issues with floor spacing and player movement have become more exposed by this year's 10-player Pro-Am mode. In this mode, your 99-rated, 40-badge MyPlayers can sprint across the court quickly enough to double team a big man on the block, then swerve back out to the three-point line just in time to contest a kick-out jump shot.

A team I played a few days ago was exploiting that to the max, I think it even worked a few times on the user big I was running with too.

Id like to report that an efficient sim style can be quite effective at least on the offensive end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOpDp3tx4PY here a link of our team ACTUALLY RUNNING plays. Any 1 else do this or are we alone out here

# 84 City_foxx @ 02/28/16 04:42 AM

So cheese to win? Errr let me rephrase cheese to get 1111 score? No thanks id rather hone my skills and IQ and lobby that the game changes so that it matters. What happened to o's #arcade nation running rapant. Its unfortunate the way rttf is set up. If you notice our opponets had low scoring to its because of our tempo and efficientcy. Break starter dont mean **** when your taking it out the net.

Well I think the game has definite balancing issues. I mean how do you properly and realistically represent basketball with real players AND fantasy players without the breaking the game engine in either instance.

I just don't think the game is ready to be considered a legitimate esport yet. The game engine still has glaring issues. Also, in every other major esports game every user is working with the same character or resource that is available to everyone else. This makes the user's skill and knowledge the determining factor in who wins. You don't have to play hours or pay money to make Ryu's shoryuken do max damage. Same goes with ssmb or dota 2. To even compete in 2k you need a maxed out or near maxed out player. Then it comes down to whether or not you want a 7+ft center or a super fast pg.

The tallest person almost always gets the rebound.

Lol.....keep thinking that....stats say differently...7'3 vs a 6'10/6'11, my money is on the shorter guy every time. The shorter you are the higher your verticle leap is. That is all..

Now with this meant to be mostly a user vs user environment, don't you think this is kind of exploiting the (severely dumbed down through a patch) CPU and taking the game out of your opponents' hands?

But hey, whatever, do y'all.

You deserve whatever you get for bringing out the Deion Sanders, Calvin Johnson of CPU's.

I've said from the beginning that Pro-Am should've been forced to be 5v5, but nothing can be done if someone gets lagged out.

And as far as the CPU goes, everyone knows they were dumbed down severely early in the year. The only good thing they're good for is jumping pass lanes, but they have absolutely zero situational awareness. But hey, like I said, do y'all. Just don't get mad if other teams begin to do that to you, is all.

Somebody loves lead passing into the paint off turbo cut. Smh as a sim play i have no problem at all with a cpu out there. They tend to go under screens so we get alot of easy jumpers off of them.

I have a 6'11 guy with maxed rebounding and athleticism . Don't bet on me vs no 7'3 guy lol .

# 91 City_foxx @ 02/28/16 08:36 PM

I can out reb 7'3 c's with my 6'7 pf as long as i can dedcate my self to boxing out (not haveing to make alot of defense rotations)

Can you out rebound against "yourself" as a 7'3 center with your 6'7 pf?

Man, you must be going against some crap Cs.

# 94 City_foxx @ 02/29/16 07:02 PM

Or BOXING OUT try it some time.

# 95 City_foxx @ 02/29/16 07:05 PM

Probaly im much quicker so its easyer to keep rebounding position. If i was playing against my self the winner of the reb battle would be the guy on the team with the highest fg% since offenseive rebs would be a moot point.

Those positions are far from obsolete...and dominate when used properly...Id love to see 3 5,10 Pgs lol theyll get locked up all game.

# 97 KingofGyps @ 03/03/16 01:12 PM

I'd like to see you try and out rebound my 7'3 inside C..

Everyone knows what boxing out is.. And unless it's timed flawlessly it's an easy thing to get around - and right as you make the pass you tell your wings to pop. Boards all day. Just had a 28-25 pro am game.

What if your front court mate isn't 7'3?

# 99 Rockie_Fresh88 @ 03/11/16 03:49 PM

Not walk on I'm talking about against the top 100 teams in teamup
I have a 6'7 SF that rebounds well . Doesn't mean I'll use him against the top 10 teams

I can get 10 rebounds in walk on with my guard

Yeah walk-on is easy pickings.
I see tons of guys around here saying all you need to do is know how to box out, etc., but what happens when you go against a 7'3 guy who's just as good as you?

"Just gotta know how to get position," yeah that's easy, but when you're going against someone who's taller than you and has skill equal to or greater than yours then you're gonna have a bad time.

Anyone can perform well against someone of lesser skill.. They're not as good at the game as you lol.
