I hope DEFENSE matters in PRO-AM

I'm honestly afraid that Steph Curry's performance last year will influence 2K to make 3pt shooting and offense overpowered........

I feel the more VC can impact a mode, the cheesier it is. 2k tries to encourage the user to purchase VC so they can up that auxiliary income. That's why MyTeam has super teams and the Rec has "demi-gods". If Kim Kardashian can make $200 million off of a free to play app there's no telling how much 2k made off VC. So not only will there be super teams and 7ft pg, these modes will also be on a lower difficulty (where defense is nothing) so users can be great from the get go. This is all so the users that shell out all their money for VC come back and spend even more money.

Impossible to make his 3pt shot overpowered. Best. Shooter. Ever.

true, but he still did not shoot 100% last year.
defense should matter this year in all aspects of the game.

Agreed. And even if most is 99, I don't see how that messes up the balance. Seems like it makes it balanced to me since everyone is about on the same playing field and that's when teammates, chemistry, stick skills and etc separate players like it should. Not ratings.

Playing defense is not hard because of 99s or even zig zag, its hard simply because its not favored on a balancing aspect. Look why can't you stop/shutdown a zig zager, because your too slow add delay on top of that and you have very bad balancing issues. 2k must favor offense and defense equally, gameplay for offense should have a counter on defense and the same for defense versus offense. players that put in the time to learn how to defend properly and know how to read offensive set ups should be very valuable as defense should be something that you have in mind since day one of creating your player. Those that dont like/want to play defense should have a very hard time even scoring 20 against defense superstars and defense teams.

its not about defense being easy or hard. its about the game rewarding good defense when its played. how many times have you had a hand right in a shooters face with a defender the same size or even bigger than the shooter, yet he still makes the shot? thats the kind of stuff that needs to go.

and we need better post animations(for offense and defense) and better shot blocking mechanics.
