Re: NBA 2K16 2K Pro-AM Interview with Jeff Thomas

Like I said dog that was 6 years ago. They added a 3v3 MODE CALLED PARK. The rec is 5v5 for a reason. They want you to use USERS.

Same with PARK. Its 3v3 USERS. I get you could start the other 2k crew with only 2 guys but considering pretty much every game is online now, ppl expect it to be USER v USER.

But it is what it is man. Obviously you're a crew guy and I'm not knockin u bra. I just personally don't think I'm gonna enjoy this like I originally thought. Unless they matchmake you into whatever you have on your team.

NBA 2K16 2K Pro-AM Interview with Jeff Thomas

And like I said, it was 6 years ago and that's what people wanted and 2K delivered lol. More people wanted this and why it's in because you're in the minority. It's also rec so you can play 5 on 5, right? Yay!!!

THIS! Exactly. Defeats the purpose of online HUMAN multiplayer. Defeats and taints the purpose of the Leaderboard that every Human will be trying to climb. This game sells like 6 million or something. Plenty of people will have full rosters. Why is 2K pandering to people who can't find TWO more people to complete a team smh. Play offline if you're incapable of picking up 4 guys to run with.

Some people have wife/kids/other outside responsibilities and don't spend a bunch of time playing online multiplayer games but 2k is still their favorite game and they want to play occasionally or with a friend or two.

Try not to be so narrow minded.

Well, you just said it. Plenty of people will have full rosters so it won't even be that big of a deal anyways. And for me personally, allowing people the ability to play is 100x more important than where someone is ranked on a leaderboard. I couldn't ever tell you where I was ranked on one of those things. Other than maybe my team's win/loss record, I really couldn't care less about stats/leaderboards. I just want to play.

Idk why people DON'T want to play against the cpu more often.

Hell if I get my sf or c in the paint against a cpu I'm backing them down every chance and scoring on em.

Only "inflated" stats will come from the OTHER TEAM'S computers tryna guard me.

I for one am glad they're bringing back the old style where you only need 3 to play...we're all older now, tryna get 4 other of my friends online at once when we're all out of school working jobs is kinda hard.

I met a couple cool dudes who fit in my offense nicely, so I actually probably got 5 whenever now but still...if I only got 3 or 4 on the team at once it's nice to know I can still play.

And contrary to popular belief I don't actually like talking to 15 year old kids all day tryna find some that are cool enough and mature enough to run with me and talk to me...hard to find older guys these days.

I love the X1 too much, man and most of my crew is here lol. And I am not sure, I am 50-50. I didn't do it for views last time, just because me and my crew loved watching old games and basically breaking down film. That's why the vids is always raw gameplay. You need to hop on X1 though. We got a spot for you.

On ps3 nba 2k14 had the choice to either play 3 vs 3 or 5 vs 5 i preferred 3 vs 3 for the fact being the game only went up to 21 it didn't have 5 min quarters. Crew is Crew, therefore you shouldn't be allowed to play crew with 3 myplayers and 2ai's if you cant get 5 players together then your only option with 3 myplayers should be to play a pro-am game as a walk on and be matched up with 2 other players. quitting a game in pro-am mode should have a highly negative effect on your ranking

This isn't Crew lol, plus TRUE Crew you could play with as many AI as you wanted...like we been saying, most good Crews you ran into didn't even run a full team and the same thing will probably be true now.

Re: NBA 2K16 2K Pro-AM Interview with Jeff Thomas

Sounds great just wish you could play with 2 people.

Me and my friend would own 3-5 man crews back in the 2K11 days as the PG and C.

No, the CPU aren't gods, but they're god awful annoying to play against in an online setting, especially considering they can react instantaneously in that environment, while users cannot because of input delay and bad animations that seem to plague users, but not the CPU. Examples being the CPU getting speed and lunging boosts on loose balls and passes, and can instantaneously box out the user as far out as the 3-point line, and somehow the user not being to fight out of it 90% of the time.

Re: NBA 2K16 2K Pro-Am Interview with Jeff Thomas

My thing is even if they limit the 7"2 demi gods and 7ft sf's, what will deter people from just creating the tallest height at every position. There have to be actual advantages and disadvantages of height and size rather than baid aid solutions like just blocking someone from making their player super tall.
Right now it seems they are probably taking band aid solutions by just limiting heights, but they should go back to 2k11 in terms of, the taller you make your player, the harder it is too level up.

Re: NBA 2K16 2K Pro-Am Interview with Jeff Thomas

Or like in FIFA, they could make some physical attributes dependent from height. The bigger you are, the slower you are.
