    I can somewhat confirm this.

    There was a bug that happened to me one time.
    I went into setting to change the difficulty and seen the many different settings.
    It was strange. There were things like human vs cpu settings, online human settings, online CPU settings, Pro Am human settings, and park human settings. In total there were like 6 different settings from the normal ones that we see.

    I don't have any visual confirmation, only my word. But, I seen them, ONCE. Either by an accidental bug or by an accidental button combination.
    But, they do exist.

        What positions do you have? I'm a SF slasher not a LDD tho but I am on the hunt for a team even if it's just to play casually every once in a while.

          To any really good point guards out there I'm looking to become a better one I have two playmakers one is 6'2 and one is 6'5. I'm pretty good at finding the open man and running the offense but I want to become a more consistent scorer. I usually end games with about 8 pts 8asts 3-5 boards and a few steals. I'm not looking to be a number 1 option but be able to produce to keep the defense honest and open up some passing lanes. My ideal stat like would be 12-15 pts and 8-12 asts with a few rebounds and steals. I really like to run the pick and roll/pop game with my bigs but I get in game s with people who don't roll or pop off the screen they just stand there the whole time. I also like bigs that work down low but the spacing in walk on games is so terrible I feel like I'm not being as effective as I should be. Any help would be appreciated.

            Against good defenses playmakers are going to be streaky tbh. They thrive in the mid range area and should only be taking 3's when they are hot or open off a pick. Just have to pick your spots can't just wildly shoot 3's with playmakers you should always be looking to create easier shots for your team by driving/passing. Otherwise you should make a shot creator or sharpshooter.

              We're currently looking for a Sharp Shooter or Glass Cleaner, if you can play both positions that'll be great as well. For PS4!

              We're currently struggling with our 3 pt game due to a lot of mid range scoring unless it's on a fast break for an open 3 since our team consists of shot creators with a lock down defender PF.

              Probably the only team right now without a designated 3 point archetype but still managing to win games but difficult when we don't have consistent 3's of our own.

              If interested add my PSN: SolMJ-

              Our team has been playing consistently since release of 2k17 and found each other from reddit.

                Yeah I only take about 2-3 threes a game. I'm not really the type of person that wants to be a the first option I really just wanna get the offense going. Assists and defense get me more hype than scoring in 2k and on the real court. But the majority of my scoring comes from transition pull ups and dunks but I should look to incorporate that into my half court game as well.

                  I know that feeling. Sometimes if I feel like things are stagnant I'll dump the ball off in the high post early on, try a give and go from there and if that doesn't work, go to an unoccupied spot and let someone else create and play off ball a few possessions. Remember if you don't play with awful teammates, you can get the ball later on in the shot clock in a good position of attack, cause whoever is defending you might have his eyes elsewhere for a second when you catch the ball. I do this when I play walk on games because what you mentioned, people who "stand there" might have a chance of being more active if they get chances to create. Unfortunately in walk-ons you have a good to great chance that 1 or 2 of your random teammates are terrible!

                    Yeah I modeled my game after D'angelo Russell offensively. Using the puck and roll to create scoring opportunities but I do like to get some passes in before I go to work lol. One of the things that my squad that I regularly run with does is sort of a motion offense where I bring the ball down and cut and it just moves around until I get back up top and turns into a double ball screen with I guard and a big where the bigs roll and the the guard flares oh to the corners really good play if anyone want to run it gets goods looks for all 5 players.

                          Ps4 squad looking for 3 new players. Not expecting you to be lebron james on the court but just don't do anything stupid like dribble pull up in 3 guys faces for a 3.

                          We're looking for a sharpshooter, Paint Protector, athletic finisher, or glass cleaner.

                            Xbox One Pro-Am team needs a PG, SG, or SF that plays team ball.
                            Must play good D, know the difference between a good shot and a bad shot, and know when to pass.
                            Looking for someone that can shoot the 3, but the archetype doesn't have to be a SS.

                            Most important is defense and IQ.

                            We are all adults, so please be the same.

                              Yo does anybody know how to prevent lagouts on Xbox 1? The minute we hit Elite 3 and crack the top 100 again folks started lagging out on our team..mainly our center. We've cleared reserve space and loaded directly into pro-am and still no luck. This happened with our first squad as well SMH.

                                Haven't played in 2 months and hopped into a walk on game surprise surprise couldn't hit the side of a barn with my sharpshooter smh.

                                Was forced to be a distributer at the center position and finished with 12 dimes and a W.

                                I really hate the way they made shooting and penalizing people who don't pull it straight down. Game breaker for sure.
