NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

finally off work and have had an opportunity to catch up on posts..

ive said repeatidly that id wish they'd remove badges altogether - but we have to understand that the 2k community is SO diverse. kids like 5, 6, 7, and 8 are playing the same game as 30,40,50, and 60 year olds (yea my uncle and i go AT IT and im in my mid 30s).

badges when not cheesed can be used to further individulaize players - but, when is ANY videogame not cheesed?

my suggestion is to separerate our online myplayers from offline play (as many have suggested here)

the only way you get an attribute bar is for 5 consecutive A- or better graded games. your progession bar goes down a bit when you have a D+ or lower graded game.

as for badges, when you do something badge worthy in an online mode park/proam you earn progress towards that badge. for example- corner specialist...if you hit a corner 3, you earn 5 points towards the bronze badge, miss a corner 3 and you lose 3 points from that same badge.

this way only the elite of a certain skill will have that badge in gold or silver and its earned through real competition and not making us all cheese mycareer ( not all of us do it, but the vast majority wanna max our myplayer out and give somebody the business lol)

just an idea that im sure would have to be vetted out - as i said personally, i dont want badges but i understand ppl like things to light up and feel a sense of accomplishment, im cool with it.
i just hope they continue to progress in terms of making a truly balanced online experience.

i got faith in you 2k! been riding the wave since the original 2k on dreamcast - and ill keep riding. just want things to continue getting better as they are - IMO.

I like this idea! Isn't this similar to how live does it?

2k needs to "borrow" it AND however they were able to incorporate different body types for our myplayer LMAO!!

It's not the archetypes. It's not the badges.

It's. The. Shooting.

Shooting is too easy, getting a green is too easy, and getting a green is a guaranteed basket like that god forsaken patch 4.

I'm a Lockdown Defender, my 3 caps at 60, I should be a 35% shooter, at best. I should hit 3 or 4 wide open corner shots out of 10. Shooting from the wings and, even worse, from the top of the key should be out of the question. Right now I'm close to 50%, and that doesn't come from good corner 3s exclusively. That 50% is also the result of "I'm 3-3 and we're up by 20, I'm gonna take this awful shot because who freaking cares if I miss... but it could also be green". I could easily shoot 60+% if I stuck to good shots.

So why shouldn't my friend with a Stretch PF an 90+ 3 hit from 35 feet? Hell, he should never miss.

Only that he should. No one should shoot 80% from 35 feet. Or 60%. Or 40%. It's a freaking 35 footer. But, you know, green light.

And I should miss a lot more corner shots. But you know, green light.

They should remove the shot meter from Pro-Am. Then it would take a bit more skill to learn your release point and thus would result in more misses.

Curry only shoots 44% from three and 47% overall.

I just hate the meter I wish 2k would just get rid of it. It should go back to the blue flicker that used to happen to let you know when to release(wasn't 100%) No shot in basketball is 100% not even the free throws.

The best shooters never look at the shot meter and know their release. So that wouldn't change anything

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

playmakers and point forwards need to be toned down also in this case. ankle breaker badge is op and 90+ speed with ball is op. you tone down sharpshooters then they become useless

I agree they should tone down the ankle breaker badge and their dunking and shooting ability. but I feel like the speed and play making of playmakers and point forwards is their specialty that shouldn't change.

7'' pf sharpshooter΄here shooting 72.4% 3pt in my first 20 games in pro am(pc). Its not the badges which are all hof neither the 91 rating. I was shooting lights out even in 60s-70s. Something is wrong with the meter its like playing on rookie . All my team is shooting near 60% btw and we are at 20-0 with 2 stretch bigs.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Has anyone encountered the shot meter glitch when playing pro am or park?

I'll post a YouTube video when I get home from work, but basically the way it works is that you hold your release til the meter fills up release the ball but the meter goes back to half the meter being filled up.

It results in a lot of bricks for my sharpshooter and is really annoying. It happens to me at least 3-4 times throughout a game and the only way I can fix it is by releasing the ball hella early.

Anybody else getting this glitch? And has 2k said anything about it?

Edit- went ahead and found a video showing exactly what happens to me sometimes when I shoot the ball

I feel like this is just a visual glitch, I shot fine even when my meter popped back down like this because I was watching my wrist for the release everytime.

I also seem to be having this problem as well, but I got to the pint where I just gave up on the meter and feedback and ended up shooting a little better now.

Watch the vid. He releases the ball when he is suppose too and instead of it being green, or being all white. It just pops back to the middle of the shot bar. He zooms in on his player, releases the ball when it should be a green, but it glitches and makes it brick. Same thing that is happening to me. I mean you could be right, but it seems like to me I'm releasing the ball when he needs to be released and it's bricking, like in the video.

The only way I've been able to get around it is by releasing the ball early, bc that makes my release green.

My friends keep telling me that quick shots like Aldridge glitch like this.

Just faced a guard + big shooting duo - stupid range - but my team just sucked at defending them for the most part
