5 Things I'd like to see in 2k17 Walk-on Pro-Am (REC Mode)

[de5m0n]

Good ideas all around and this mode can be a whole lotta fun if they put some effort into it.

2 Things to addd...

1. Fix the damn STATS or don't bother releasing broken ones and not attempting to fix it.

2. Limit 1 or 2 time out calls per player. I'm sick and tired of babies calling all time outs in a row because they didn't like something.

Yeah, i actually bought live when it was on sale for 20 or so. The courts do look nice but unfortunately the gameplay is awful (i gave it more than a fair shot) and if someone thinks the ballhogs on 2k or bad, it's nothing compared to some (a lot actually) of the people on live.

Matchmaking is great for servers that are full.... Here in Australia we really need a rec centre, so you can literally see if there are people looking for a game.
You can sit there for 20mins waiting for a game before giving up..... would be nice to know if there are other games playing, people looking for games etc.

Someone from 2K needs to check the stats on how many rec centre games got played on the Aus servers last year compared to Pro-am games this year..... They will find a huge drop off..... all due to forcing matchmaking onto servers that are rarely full.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

NO...

NO.

Do not promote computers in this game.

Play with or against computers is NOT FUN in the slightest. You want to play with computers in your private game? That's fine.

Please don't bring your computers into my matchmaking.

It sucks they separated different continents/countries a couple years ago. I personally didn't experience more lag before they started doing that. Maybe they could give the option to play against people from other timezones. "Search for game: worldwide or EU/US/africa/(whatever applies)". If you select worldwide, make you undergo a quick download/upload/(ping? I honestly don't know) test before starting to see if your connection is good enough. I'm no software engineer but i'm guessing that would be possible?

If it makes you feel better, I sometimes have to wait 20min too and I am in California.

Lol I hear you, computer does suck... but it seems hard to get (and keep) 10 players to start a game.

I like how Rocket League does it, which is to choose 2v2, 3v3, etc. could let people decide if they want to play full 10 or not

More options is never bad. Pro Am Team currently only requires 6 btw... it fills the rest in with computers

I wish there was a way to search for teams that have 5 players in pro am. Being at the 4, I always get stuck guarding a computer.
