2k Promotes Selfish Online Players

[HowDareI]

If they put all of 2K17's focus on defense it may just wind up being the greatest basketball game ever.

As much as I get mad, frustrated, disappointed and all that while playing I still know deep down the game's solid. Not the best they put out but it's still on top, obviously.

I been playing 2K too long (since 03) to be losing to kids who just started this year. I been watching basketball since I was 8 watching Iverson on my Sixers and let me tell you my knowledge of the game could school 99% of anyone I play online...

So when I lose to people stepbacking over and over hitting fading 3's in my face I can only get so mad before I just stop caring or playing.
It gets old after a while.

It's predictable, win or lose...and it's not fun most the time.

But it's what the community (not us) loves. Outside of a select few, most the youtubers who play 2K cheese just as hard whether they know it or not.

I think 2K is terrified of losing too much money by making a great (again to us) game.

But even if that HUGE community of cheesers, casuals, and guys who know little to nothing about the game and think Steph is better than MJ get mad if the game's too real for their taste...they'll still be playing and have to adapt unless they're willing to go to EA's game.

Any game is going to have selfish randoms, play with friends instead. My proam team is like 100-10 and whenever we did park we'd get on huge win streaks and we run a pass heavy offense. The stepback moves in park are way less cheesy then it was last year and adding 3 seconds helps. We do have 2 huge stretch centers for proam though who both have outlet passer which is the most OP badge in the game for fastbreaks

I think the best way to prevent some cheese in park is something in the 2k code that can see the user is spamming the same moves over and over. It should tire them out and make them fumble the ball on like the 3rd or 4th spammed hesitation stepback

Society went wrong.

That's the primary reason why I don't take ANY online games seriously or use my microphone when I play. Online gaming ethics are so bad that people will try to find ways to cheat in Uno if there are cheats to be found.

Game developers will always make honest attempts to stop players from cheating or exploiting the game, but players always find a way. We're just at a point where game developers AND console makers need to come up with ways to genuinely punish players for using game exploits and cheats. But then you start dancing that fine line of gamer rights (I paid for it, so I should be able to do what I want attitude) vs community miscreants.

When you combine low IQ with a ranking system, you will spit out selfish players.. If they had any form of IQ they would realize that assists and rebounds help with the teammate grade more so than points.

I had to quit 5 pro-am games in a row because of the foolishness that was going on in them. Teammates jacking up shots for no reason, shooting contested shots, not passing the ball, and not guarding their own man on the defensive end.

I'm a 96 overall rated center and I've been getting stuck with a lot of low overall players going up against teams with high 80's and 90's, so the last couple games when I see the match up screen, if I see those low overall rated players on my team, I'm outta there cause I've been getting nothing but silliness.

The BBIQ in Pro-Am/MyPark is severely lacking.

I've had moments where I'm wide open under the basket yet my teammates will decide to just jack up a contested three instead.

It's quite scary, almost as if these guys have never seen an actual basketball game before.

Did you try NBA Live 16 free proam?

They put a green text over your player whenever you set a screen, get an assist, etc.

I feel like it promotes teamwork because players are forced to notice that they dunked it becuse their teammate set a screen for them.

We already know 2k can put txt over players in park (they do it durin those wednesday house rules) and i bet it would help
