Re: NBA 2k16 PRO-AM Discussion/Advice Thread

You get 1 attribute upgrade every 5 practices (so 125 total needed).

The best way to do it is to play on Rookie Casual, get at least an 11 point lead by half-time (or later) and then choose "Ask Out" to sim the rest of the game and still earn VC and Practice time.

I'd recommend working on earning badges while you're getting that 11 point lead, which is pretty easy to do on Rookie/Casual.

Those 25 attributes and Badges will help you out a lot in ProAm

Thanks for the tips. I really appreciate it. Can you give me some examples of what I have to do to earn badges?

This is the kind of stuff we should be able to find out in the game itself, really wish 2k would just let us see every badge we could earn and show us our progress (like every other game that requires you to grind).

Here is every badge and what you have to do to earn it:

Also, it has to be done in a single season, the playoffs count too.

I honestly have never seen deadeye pop up in mycareer . I think shot creator /fade ace is more important .

It probably doesn't work or need a certain condition to work. I never seen it pop up in 2k15 either. I'm guessing fade ace would help a lot more with those late contested shots. I thought shot creator only triggers for shots where you create space dribbling, or on stepbacks and spin jumpers.

Either I am not meant to be a shooter, or my player is a streaky shooter. I just miss easy wide open shots, while my friends make contested 3s. This is where microwave would come in handy.

You never seen deadeye popup in 15? I've seen it a good but lol but i guess it wouldn't hurt to get . It's a whole lot easier too.

Microwave and unfazed definitely help . Also shot creator works for pull up jumpers of the dribble too. Kind of like Westbrook does. I try to get going by getting easy layups/dunks and a few steals . Corner threes are your friends lol

I never seen it pop up, but I beloved it did help a little with my shooting. I'm definitely going for Deadeye, Microwave and shot creator.

If you change the name of the PROAM team do you lose your record?

I want to change the name but we have 90-10 record and ranked 227, i just need confirmation before i proceed.

Re: NBA 2k16 PRO-AM Discussion/Advice Thread

It matters how you play more than anything. As long as you play your 6'8 C different than your 7'3 C you can be effective. If you are an inside pg and know where to pass its ok to have 75 outside shooting.

Just play to strengths of your build.

Re: NBA 2k16 PRO-AM Discussion/Advice Thread

Our team was curious so we created a stretch PF, only 6'10 though and my god the difference in play is real. The PF is a 68 overall but it opened up the offense so much

I like using my 6'10 outside SF for stretch 4. Thats why i have 3 inside C.

Alright thanks for the reply. I'll restart with 7'3" center.

If you suck w a 7' C you will prob suck at 7'3.

What? lol

I was never displeased with my performance with my 7' center, I just wanted to build the ideal center specifically for Pro-Am.

Thats my point. Dont change up your whole game just because someone thinks itd b easier if you know youre good with it. Just play on a team that suits your play style.

Fair enough. I usually play on SF, I wasn't far into my center. Maybe 12 off days. I figured even if there is no 'ideal' I'd still be building what's specifically in demand given the information was coming from people with far more Pro-Am experience than me.
