Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Has anyone else noticed some suspicious network activity while playing against teams with high winning percentages?

I played against a team the other night that was 61-1, and a few seconds after our athletic finisher posterizer dunked on his matchup to put our team ahead by 1 point in the second quarter everyone on our team got this error message:



No one on our team had to reconnect to the 2K servers or reconnect to Xbox Live after buttoning through that message. And no one got the "waiting for opponent" countdown prior to that error message occurring. But it still booted us right out of this game without it counting on our record.

This is the only time in 30+ Pro Am games that I've seen this error message pop up in the middle of a game, which makes me wonder if people have figured out a way to make games not count if they feel like the outcome is going to be in doubt.

Honestly I wouldn't even doubt this happening. People will do anything to keep a record. You were only up by one though so that may not be the case here plus it looks like it's only the 2nd quarter.

all bets are off because xbox one pro-am is really broken. This wouldn't surprise me one bit.

If you dashboard at the end of games to snap the party, you get kicked. (10$ UNO does this, also. BTW for comparison)

If you get in, and win, it sometimes doesn't count.

Sometimes, you're randomly kicked at the start.

Sorry if already asked but is it win 10 games to get pro rank? Saw a youtube vid saying 10 in a row but the comments saying just 10. Thanks.

Is anyone having issues playing on their owned team? My friends and I can play walk on games no problem together, but when we all try and go to our team arena we get an error message. Any ideas?

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Do you get VC for walk on? I played one and had a B+ teammate grade with 22 pts, 9 rebounds, and 6 assist yet I didn't get any VC.

Also do you earn rep? I'm a Pro 2 at the park, but it showed me as a Rookie 1 for some reason.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

It really feels like they didn't finish develop pro am:

1) No box score/team stats after game played. I really loved to dig stats after games , completely gone now.

2) Can't join other team while being team owner. Huge problem when u with small 15-30 ppl community and want to run 2 teams drafted. At least team space could be 2-3x bigger.

3) No private games. No reason not to introduce without rankup/vc gain if they afraid of some farm abuse.

4) No idea on team's "rep" progress. My team is 4-0 and nowhere indicated on how much more games/wins needed to unlock custom jersey and arena.

5) Can't pick on players positioning on court and/or defensive matchups. Sometimes u have couple guys of same position and you'd really prefer to pick on who plays native position and who goes up/down position . Switching defensive match ups would be huge quality of life improvement as well with the archetypes we have.

The point guard can change defensive matchups on your team.

How can he do that ?

Really nice if he can do it, but it should be under control for team owner as well.

You hit L1 when you're on defense and pass icons pop up, then you select the player and make the changes.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Also have to point out the amazing camera angle for free throws, really get a great feel from this perspective, right stick and everything.
Also used when other team is shooting on other end of the court.

Dont have a pic, but we also shot free throws while camera is zoomed in above one player that is rebounding/boxing out.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

They should have never put grand badges in pro-am.

About 60 of those points were bad defense. Others were bail outs cuz LOLOLOLOL Grand Badge.

I'm not even mad. This is just how people are going to play the game now.
