NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere in this thread, but I might as well bring it up again.

Next year I hope they can implement matchmaking and putting people at the right positions. I shouldn't go into a walk on game with 4 point guards or 4 centers.

And I also think they need to start prioritizing grouping bad players with bad players. It's highly amusing when I see people say "I scored 24 points and I got a D+, how" and it's like they forgot about all the times they chucked up bad shots, didn't get back on defense, turned it over, didn't box out, etc. Or people who walk into these games and REFUSE to pass the ball.

But I'm guessing this is going to be damn near impossible to try and get in.

Still no official statement on the Pro AM server issues from anybody at 2k. This is getting ridiculous. PS4 Users have had that issue for almost a week now.

Can't believe it's not mentioned at all. To me, this is a far bigger issue than any of the game play balance problems. As well as the timeout exploit at the FT line.

All we ask is that we enter together as a team, finish the game as a team, and have the W/L count appropriately. Not the thing where when we win a mostly disconnected game, it doesn't count, but when it goes the other way on us, it counts.

... so can we agree that the Grand Badges are the most unrealistic and stupidest things ever? Boxing out a 7'0" Glass Cleaner with my 7'3" paint protector, and the dude literally goes over my back 5 times to get the rebound, with no fouls called. Just soars right through me and gets it.

It's not realistic at all and it's pretty frustrating to play against. I still hung with him in boards (he finished with 21, I had 19), but it's still such a dumb feature.

they warp to the ball. (you do have hustle rebounder right?)

otherwise that position would be useless.

remember when we worried about who "jumped first"

now it's

will somebody warp to the ball despite me being in the best possible position with a complete boxout.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

In my opinion the best thing that could happen to this game is to get rid of badges, period.

The archetypes alone should be enough.

Badges offline is fine. Online should be taken away.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Yeah I've gotten disconnected from 6 of my last 7 (5 pro am/ 2 walk on) attempts and received an L for each. The one game I didn't get disconnected the rest of my team did. My record looking trash af because of it.

Okay, glad to know it wasn't just me.

Am I wrong for feeling it might be wise to stay away from Pro-Am until the disconnects are fixed in the next patch?

A lot of people are. Some people are even thinking about doing a pro am lockout until 2k fixes the game mode lol. It's a complete mess right now.

Yea, for anyone with a good record it seems like a really bad idea to play. So I guess I'll join #NBA2K17Lockout

Grand badges online was one of the worst ideas ever.

A lot of the top teams have just stopped playing now, we haven't moved much at all in the last 2 days, despite only playing 1 game.

There's no reason to play team arena games right now if you care about your record at all. Anywhere from 1 to 4 people per team are getting randomly booted during the pregame intro screen in team arena matches.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

I asked before but got not reply: do you also feel your player like skating on the court?
There are some moments that my players makes a couple of more steps especially while defending. Agility is maxed! Is it because of archetype or due to lagging ???


ALSO:

What is the trick to play in a walk on team with my mates? I tried setting up a squad in the park and joining walk on but we ended up playing into different games

im only able to play walkon with my friends that are on my actual proam team. if we invite a random (or somebody who isnt on our team) to my court then go to walkon, they get lost. otherwise my whole team travels to the same walkon court. ive only tried it with 4, not 5 however.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Anyone know anything about this error? 2ba5d5d0...I keep getting it when joining team arena in pro am. I connect to every other game mode, including walk on pro am just fine

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Played 4 walk on pro am games with some friends last night noticed that there were no sounds during the games. Only thing we could hear was the fans yelling. Super strange.
