Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

There are really no tactical options at all... you can't assign positions/match-ups either, which would help a ton.

You can more or less choose your position in Play Now All-Star - can't they just copy/paste that code and make it work?

The PG can do that but he has to have on court coach and MUST BE THE PG which is beyond stupid as I'm the only one on my team with t but because I'm not the PG I can't use it.

What kind of tactics are there available? Cannot find anything online or any YouTube video where they set a strategy

On Court Coach badge lets you call plays? That's interesting.

It will show the little dots/lines on the court too?

So is the PG in your proam team actually setting the tactics ??? Are you sure this is happening, because as I told you earlier I have seen it nowhere

I'm the only one on my team with the badge. So I do not know how it works but I have heard from many people that if the PG has it you can set match ups, call play, defensive strategies, etc. from some guy I play with. He is on one of the top 100 teams and says that that's what their PG does and how he does it. But once again I HAVE THE BADGE but you MUST BE THE PG to use it. Ik that is beyond stupid but that's just how it is.

I have also run with them before and have seen the play overlay appear on the Court. I don't know what else you can do with it other than plays as that is all I've seen but he tells me it can be used to do all the other stuff.

This mode still doesn't work I'm getting stuck on the Pro Am screen more than I used to

The "waiting for opponent" prematch disconnection happened last night in a team arena game on Xbox One.

It kicked all five players on our team out of the game before the tipoff and gave us a loss.



So that issue isn't completely gone, it just seems to be more rare than it was before patch 1.06.

Well at least it happens less. Walk on seems to be really good now. Almost every game is 5v5 very few DC's at tip.

Idk I've played 9 games on walk on since the patch and all of them had ATLEAST 2-3 people dropped before tip off. Two of them had all but one guy the other team not make it to tip off

Are you sure On-Court coach is necessary for play calling or is it irrelevant if you have an all CPU team? I played a Walk-On game pre patch and only two people made it in on my team and the other quit out leaving just me. I was able to call plays and in actuality, that turned out to be a major reason that I won (albeit in a very close game that came down to them missing a mid range game dinner) since they were focused on me and not enough on the CPU. Maybe with humans it's different but the only badges my has is Pick and Roll Maestro. As for the rest of the settings couldn't say with those since my team was all CPU's.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

I've been playing a bunch of walk on lately and the disconnects still happen. Routinely 2-4 people are kicked prior to the tip off and then the games end up quite laggy. Skating around/wonky shot meters and such. It only happens in pro am too. Park is fine.

Were you the PG ? How did you call plays? Was it like when playing in my career ?

Yeah exactly like that. LB/L1 to bring up the icons then choosing who you wanted to run the play with. I remember one play was a pick and roll with the two guard and a big. Like mentioned earlier, the icons showed up showing me where to go and everything.

I only ran point on Pro-Am that one game so I don't know if it's just because it was the CPU or not. If I run the point again on Walk-On, I'll give it another shot provided there's humans on the team.
