The issue in 2K16 isn't that 5'7" guards can throw down huge dunks over 7 footers, it's that they can make those dunks on top of being the best outside shooters in the game.

That's a balance issue.

If you want to be a great outside shooter in 2K16, you should have to sacrifice other areas of your offense besides height.

Right now, height is the only offensive disadvantage to being 5'7". Because you'll still have 80 layup and 70 dunk with 93 vertical, plus access to tons of good dunk packages and the gold posterizer badge.



It's also way too easy to block shots at 5'7", but that's another issue entirely. It's laughable that you can get the gold eraser badge on a player that short.
This video pretty much sums up why i didn't played park on 15, don't play it on 16 and probably won't play it on 17 (highly doubt that park will become more sim) plus throw in 7'0'' Kevin Love's that dribble like Rafer Alston and block like Mutombo while throwing it down like Kemp/Nance and you got yourself 90 % of myplayers out there. Yuck

The badges, ratings, and animations that you're allowed to use on your MyPlayer definitely need to be more restrictive next year in the competitive online modes.

Offline, I think 2K should stick with their current MyPlayer system and let people use as many badges and animations as they want to use. If little Johnny wants to make a 99 overall 60-badge demigod that can dribble like a little man and finish like a big man, I say go ahead and let him cheese the CPU all day.

But online, 2K17 needs to have a more restrictive system to keep the MyPlayer gameplay competitively balanced.

Re: 5'7" outside point guards

I normally run a 6'4" PG and I have like 65 badges. I made a 5'7" PG and got just about every badge I think I'm at 63 and the dude is WORTHLESS compared to my 6'4" guys. I set them up exactly the same. There's something they do with the left stick dribbling to limit speed, but he's trash
