    Pro-Am positions?


    Why do i get put at SF, PF & C as a SG. If i play with 3 people, PG will be SF, SG is PF etc, wasnt the point of this to stop SF's from running PG ? But what is the difference if the PG gets put at SF?

    I think it goes by height. If you're the fourth tallest on the team it puts you at PF. I played with my brother and our friends and I played PG (I'm a 6'0 PG), my brother played SG (he's a 6'1 PG) and our friend played SF (he's a 6'3 SG). We played with a 6'7 SF who played PF and a 7'2 C who played C

        This is getting ridiculous, im a 6'6 SG forced to play PF...Why not let us choose positions, and make it so each position can only move 1 position down and up, gets rid of SFs on PG and every1 play their position...

            Did you have 5 users or 3 users and 2 CPUs?

            If the former then you shouldn't have an issue.

            The OP was getting at this:

            Lets say you have 3 players and you go into Pro-Am you'll get 2 CPU teammates. The problem is the 2 CPU teammates will play PG and SG. My friend who was PF was 6'10" played C, my other friend is 6'4" PG playing PF and I was a 6'3" PG playing SF. We played a full squad, who had 2 bigs and as a result the rebound margin was negative for us and we were blown out.

            So if you run with a PF and 2 PGs, you're CPU teammate should be a C and SF, not 2 PGs so you have 1 big and 4 PGs. I understand they don't want overpowered CPUs but at least have different frontcourt positions and heights, not just backcourt players.

              Stop going out there with 3, then. Simple. You're just asking to get killed by a full team of 5.

                I've got a friend who is a 6'0 SG and I'm a 6'2 PG. Every time we play he is at the point even though he would rather play 2 guard, plus I hate playing 2 guard because I don't really shoot that much. There seems to be a bunch of people who are 6'0 or smaller SG's this year

                  I always play with 5 guess that's why I never play out of position

                    It was a one time thing, up until that I always ran with a full squad except that one game. I'm just saying for those who only have 3 people if they have the provision I put above it would be less painful.

                    I'm never playing Pro-Am unless I got my squad with me again or at least 2 bigs. I'll just settle for Walk-on otherwise.

                      We should be able to run 3s if we want to...If we play vs 5 ppl i dont care, but put us at our positions atleast..

                        Point blank if they said you can run with 3-5 people we don't need to be further "penalized" for having 2 less human-controlled players.

                        If I want to play Pro-Am with my 2 friends I usually run with and that's it? Let me have 2 AI who fill in our lineup, not make us play out of position because of crappy designing.

                        If people wanna say "Run with 5", cool, but that's a lazy response. Not everyone does that (I know I never ran 5's in 2K10 or 11).

                        If I want the "disadvantage", as 2K has said, of running with a 3 man lineup than at least keep it fair and give us AI that make sense. Not dudes who literally make it impossible to have a fair game.

                        .................................................. .................................................. ....

                        I hate being like this, because honestly I love this game as a whole. But certain things like this just annoy me to no end.

                        2K takes a step "forward" (we already had this mode) and 2 steps back.

                        No commentary even though it's a live arena, no play calling, now we got these ghetto lineups that'll ruin the whole game unless you got 5.

                        We had them things in a mode that's 5 years old lol

                        If it's a bug I'll admit I'm wrong, but if we're playing out of position by design, that's one of the dumbest decisions I've ever seen.
                        I don't wanna be Jordan, I don't wanna be Bird or Isiah, I don't wanna be any of those guys.
                        I want to look in the mirror and say I did it my way.

                            It appears that 2K only generates guards as CPU's. It would be nice if they generated a SF/PF instead if those positions aren't filled. I run with a center and a couple of shooting guards at times. I typically run with a 6'7" PG. I made him this tall so I could play the wing if need be, but it would be a LOT better if front court players were generated instead of pushing us to lopsided matchups.

                              This is the problem, they should match position first, then height. A 6'8 SG shouldnt play SF over a 6'7 SF.
