With that being said I do wish 2K would add a match making filtering system where you can filter by dnf%, skill level, difficulty, maybe even time range, for example-
Opponent
Less than 15% dnf
Within 10 points of my skill level
HOF difficulty
6-8min quarters
Old fashion? Just cause it's old doesn't mean it's bad.

Lobbies in 2K8 for the xbox 360 wasn't dead. It was pretty active and I didn't have any problems finding games. After 2K8 they made changes in future 2K games where they hid the lobbies so people didn't know where to find it and that's when it became dead.

Actually I was talking about their contest a few 2k's ago. You couldn't have a contest like that with lobbies. People would cheat.

But I'm going to tell you up front... This topic has been knockout of the park already.

I know but I feel that this deserves it's own thread seperate from that because the one in the park discusses other issues and not just lobbies. People have to go through pages to see discussions about lobbies. This thread has potential to get to the point and address what we want. I am also talking about lobbies in general and not just for the park..

Oh... I wasn't talking about Park....I haven't touch that mode. I'm talking about in the past. This topic goes way back. There must be about 3 years worth of bring back lobbies thread. I'm just saying. But fight on the good fight my friend!

Thanks. I'm probably in some of those threads. Been fighting for this to come back since they took it out. Haha

I'd like to see them personally return as well.

That said, they have to make sense and there are major pros and cons for them - some of which I cannot get into here. But it's definitely something discussed with the dev. team's.
