NBA 2K16 Pro-Am's Gameplay Problems Need to Be Patched

[Rockie_Fresh88]

Technically you could get practice and VC boosts to get it . Some of them might not even have level 14 playmaking . If I'm not mistaken that's only like a 60 pass rating anyway . That's not high enough to make those passes . And I don't think every badge should max out at gold .

I was unclear. I was referring to Jyoung's team who couldn't make the simple pass.

We don't play around we do this, and there a lot of teams just as dangerous as us

Yup. You only need 11 playmaking + VC boost.

I think Pro-Am is exactly what 2K wants it to be.

The problem is that it's packaged in NBA 2K16. The game that they champion as a "basketball sim". They hire one of the best basketball minds in the gaming community to oversee the different strategies, sets, & plays used by all of the teams in the association in most, if not all, of the given basketball situations & portray that in the digital arena (don't play video games, play basketball), then they drop Pro-Am into the same package.

This is just the digital version of "can streetballers hack it in the league?" except 2K isn't concerned if the ppl who want it a little more "NBA reality" are satisfied or not. (I won't use the word "sim" since it's completely subjective).

Pro-Am is exactly what it's meant to be. "Cheesers" would only be "cheesing" if they were doing something untoward, but it looks like 2K is giving "them" everything they need to do what it is they're doing. That's not cheese.

Now if the question is, "are 2K being negligent and allowing this by not paying close enough attention?" my guess would be "nah", but I dunno that for sure.

I am looking at a whole bunch of crying out here when it comes to the subject of cheesing. Personally those are ridiculous claims at best. Me and my team have played against all of the top teams in this years 2k pro am. There is a level of focus and a certain level of knowledge that you have to have (yes I said the word knowledge) when playing against a top team in the game you cannot just cheese the heck out of them. Cheesing implies that the move being referred to as cheese is completely unstoppable. That is clearly not the case by a long shot. Break starter can be stopped easily, you just get the hell back on defense. it just so happens that in this video the lesser team played against probably the greatest leak out artist in 2k was playing in that game. I can't stress enough to the operation sports community that the team we were playing against on that video is trash. ( i am not a harsh person at most times but in this instance the phrase applies) This team had no chance of beating us because they knew absolutely nothing about the game. The reason a lot of the plays look the way they did is because we were all playing around when we saw that we were playing a team that was not ready for what they were facing. It gets literally boring when you play a team that can't stop you from doing anything that you wish to do to them. So we play a game, who can leak out the fastest and beat twoonemac down the floor for the fast break dunk. Their bigs were absolutely terrible, they couldn't out rebound our big men, why the hell wouldn't we leak out and destroy them so they would quit and get the game over with faster. They were the ones who stayed for the complete annihilation of their souls in that game . Long story short, if 2k really wants to fix this problem and have a competitive experience then give us what we all want. Match up the top teams with the top teams during a game. there is no way that we should have to message other team leaders and invite them into a party so we can hit the A button at the same time to get a match up. (That is stupid as hell right there) You shouldn't place the number 2 team against the 8 billionth in the world. what the heck do you think is going to happen in that instance. when duke plays a team outside of the top 25 in college basketball what happens to that other team? They get twisted and lose by 50. for jason young and his team of terrible players ranked 25000 in the world or probably worse to think they had a snow balls chance in hell at beating us or competing in a competitive game is ridiculous and asinine. watch a game with top players and top teams before you judge the state of 2k, there are a lot of people who i know at the top of the food chain and we have nothing wrong with the game because everything that you people complain about can be stopped and is not an issue for the people who know how to play the game at a high level, this video paints an unfair representation of what the game is and is only from a perspective of a team that was outmatched from the word go

A lot of people have their own definitions of "cheese" I guess. I don't even really say that because first off it sounds corny. But I disagree with it being something that's just unstoppable. I don't think I've ever seen anything in 2K that was unstoppable ever. But that full court passing ish you know is gimmicky.

That's what I am sure he means by cheesy. Of course you could be smarter and adapt and get back ASAP but that doesn't mean what y'all are doing isn't gimmicky or cheesy. It's 2Ks fault firstly, but 2K can't stop all the exploits.

I haven't seen y'all really play but based on that video. I have no issues besides the full court passes and like I said you can tell this isn't a good team. It honestly shows how balanced 2K has become. It's not much "cheese" anymore in this game like previous iterations. 2K11 top crews had people hop stepping, tendencies hacked to 100, some 8ft players, uncapped doing spin dunks and etc. While all of that could be stopped, it definitely was cheating and exploiting some "cheesy" things.

But I disagree w/ the matchup stuff. I think it should be completely random like it is. If you're a super low rank and meet up w/ a Top Ten team, so be it. For me, I wouldn't just want teams on my level. I want the highest teams as well. They might think it's a cakewalk but they might not know they running into some players that's really better than them team wise.

Our C makes those passes with 0 playmaking though.
