Why does everyone quit in team up matches?

[cardinalbird5]

I've played 5 games out of 50+ this year where 4-5 of players on my team or the other team actually stay in the game.

Tonight for example, our opponents got the Pacers and immediately Paul George and Roy Hibbert users quit. Am I missing something? Is it not fun using a 6'9 SG BEAST?!? Or one of the better skilled centers in the league?

I could understand quitting if your teammates are being selfish, but why quit in the beginning? I only quit if everyone else quits and we are stucking facing the AI.

It is really fun playing this game mode, but once again an awesome online game mode can go to waste due to the awful community. There needs to be more punishment and consequences for quitting. If these same guys believe it is just a video game and it doesn't matter then they sure wouldn't be upset with a 30 minute suspension or a 1 day ban for excessive quitting within the first 2 minutes.

There should also be some sort of matchmaking in play where you can filter for the type of teammates you want. I don't want someone whose average teammate grade is a D+ and takes 28 shots a game. I'd rather have someone who has a B or higher that takes 8-10 high quality shots a game with 3-4 assist per game.

Anyways sorry for the rant, but this is just another example of 2k poorly implementing a potentially great online mode. You can't leave it up to the community as they will ruin any online game. Game developers need to take things in their own hands and start handing out suspensions/bans to minimize quitting.

What is everyone's experience with team up so far?

Too many people quit because they get placed on teams where they aren't passed the basketball I've had numerous games where players quit within the first 3 minutes of the first quarter because of the team they are on or because of the position they receive

I am talking about guys quitting right away. I've seen people quit with some great players too. Do little kids sit on the game all night and keep trying over and over till they Lebron or Kobe?
