Not to mention balancing two different economies, which is bitch enough as is.





    It never had anything to do with technology. But it is true that SOCIETY has gotten more lazy and impatient though. :P
    Ok knew it sounded easy but wasn't sure how easy the execution would be. Thought maybe they could keep them separate like the PVE and PVP games are. Play hard cap on go here where everybody deals with the same rules as you, play hard cap off way go here where it's the same.

      i wonder why its not handled like team up and they just place you on a court that's empty.

        Your argument would be valid if 2K wasnt just a game.
        Some of us work and have a family.

        Its not worth it to wait 30 minutes to play a game.
        A game in an hour is not worth it.

          Agreed^

          If I have an hour to play a game with a friend(s) and half of that time is spent watching someone else play it becomes very tedious.

          I understand what they're trying to do and the concept makes sense. I like it. But the execution is terrible.

            My argument is valid because I come from an era where you had to go outside, and wait for your turn to hoop. And if you didn't hold court, you'd have to wait some more. Did a lot of that, and we didn't mind. Only thing I wish they would add is a heckling feature.

              No offense man but who the heck wants to watch others play a video game for a turn on their own system?

              My game time is limited due to family and to even think that's okay is mind boggling.

                Lmao at valid argument. Dude. Please don't be narcissistic man. Argument holds no weight in here my guy.

                This is a VIDEO GAME first of all not real life. 2nd you never had to wait/watch the quick game you joined before playing 5v5 with NBA teams.

                It has nothing to do with ppl being lazy or impatient dude. Like others said, things are going on in life. Ppl play games before class, work, bed, showers, eating, dates, their fav movie/tv show comes on, their kids wake up, etc. SOOOOOO many reasons. None of which have to with them being lazy and impatient smh.

                The 'era' you come from doesn't even matter because no matter how old you are there was NEVER a video game where you had to literally wait to play when you turned the system on at your own house with nobody else playing with you. When you turn on Ataria you shoot aliens down. When you turn on Mario you pick a level and play. Not to mention if you did turn on a game where you had to watch the CPU play before you could play you definitely wouldn't just do it and say you could afford the time wasted.

                Having to wait 1 hour for a game and to literally have the entire team get off then extend that wait time isn't even realistic to how ppl play in the park. If anything you find out who's gonna be running. 2nd there are no affiliations in real life lol. If my friend was at the park and we just go there and their team won, I would run with 4 ppl I saw play, or pick up a new 4 as I wait. But nobody just got off and if they did there was always 5 or SOMETHING to do IE play 21/33 etc. Your logic makes 0 sense but everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I guess...

                  I actually enjoyed watching other people play.

                    If the gameplay wasn't so cheesy and arcadish then I wouldn't mind watching other people play

                      I don't "mind" watching people in the park finish a game...because them games are like 10 minutes each. Still would rather just get into a game and play but you know it's the park it's whatever and it actually ain't too bad when it works.

                      Now rec, that's a full game. And if there's no courts open, like we said, you could wait a whole game just for the other team to get off. Then what? Go watch another game finish and have the same thing happen? Or better yet, you got your five and the other team has 4 and NO ONE will get on with them...

                      It's flawed. Waiting 20, 30, 40 even up to 60 minutes to even get into a game is absurd. Then your friend gets dropped for whatever excuse 2K has and he been waiting that long just to get kicked lmao

                      Got next in Pro-Am and Rec is such a terribly implemented thing.
                      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.

                        The only thing I hate about match making, is it feels like an endless stream of randoms. With the rec and the park ideas I tend to join my friends parks, even if I'm not playing with them, which by the Kevin bacon rule, means I'll end up seeing and playing against some of the same people multiple times.

                        This is nice because it builds a community feeling, rather than an isolated feeling.

                        With match making I have no idea how I would have ever met the people I have in this game, that I watched on the sidelines and then decided to step on the court with.

                            the experienced will be lessened with removal of the ability to walk around the park of JRC and spectate other ballers, teams, nba pros, etc etc. 2k will have to take away alot just to add matchmaking. The currenty system is good but needed to be edited to make it more team oriented like the "C" mode was. By the description of Pro-AM it seems people are jumping to conclusions before actually seeing the execution. Leader borards, team branding aka customization, and concrete teams of 5 myplayers will be available. Its what everyone wanted. On difference from old mode is the location the game takes place.

                              I know it is. That's why I put the smiley in there. :P

                              But it would still be cool. Why not have some fun in a game?

                                No, my point hold plenty enough weight. What you fail to realize is that playing the game is a CHOICE! You are NOT going into it ignorant. You KNOW you're going to have to wait. So why in the hell would you still choose to fire up game, go into the Rec Center knowing your time is so precious, and have the nerve to wonder why you're waiting on a court to open up in a mode that is DESIGNED to be persistent? If you don't like that mantra, that's fine. But it's that way because that's the choice they made. You don't have to play in the Rec Center! You have like 7 other modes you can play. You can even go into the Park if you just have to play online with your MP. But for God's sake, don't come in here with this entitlement that every single video game has to cater to certain rules. If a game chooses to mimic real life more than you would want it to, then YOU have the choice of not playing it. It's that simple. MY point was that, people have to wait for things all the time. Important **** and useless ****. The difference is that at the end of the day, you stay in line, or get out of it. Do you REALLY think they couldn't make lobbies? How is that breaking any new ground in the genre? It's clear they are going for new experiences here. Some will work, and others will not. I, for one, would love to see how this paradigm evolves. And I sure as hell don't want them to stop trying to innovate in the genre. This company is KNOWN for this stuff. The Crib, First Person Football, Weekly Prep, a TRUE Shotstick (not just mapping a button directly to a direction - true gesturing), and now The Park. Some last and some don't. If you ask me, I say keep that **** coming. But if you don't ask me and my "argument" holds no weight with you - so be it. It matters to me, and that's enough.
