Playbooks and Create Your Own Plays in Pro Am

[EarvGotti]

Hopefully this is something that is added in 2K17. It will heavily encourage the coaching aspect of basketball which has been missing in the 2K series.

We should have the option to choose plays in our pro am games. The indicators will come up and tell each person where they need to be in order to fully execute the plays. The option to practice plays should also be added.

Creating our own plays would be amazing. This would open up a whole new world for basketball minds and offensive strategists. In terms of plays in basketball, I believe everything can be countered so cheese plays shouldnt be an issue.

Especially since actual humans are on the court making defensive decisions. Adjusting and shutting down successful plays shouldn't be an issue. It'll be just like real life....adjust or die.

I believe we're on the same page. This is way overdue. I requested this some time back. Request #9 I belive.

QUOTE=Breakstarter;2048196975]Now that the Road to the Finals is coming to an end, I think that 2K should start focusing on what the the next step is for online myplayer entertainment should look like. Although i wasn't a big fan of pro am because of its limitations, i remember playing crew mode in 2k10 & 2k11, thinking to myself
"We had everything we ever wanted on that mode, why did 2k take this away from us?" Even with Pro Am mode, it's still a watered down version of crew mode at it's best. Even down to the way you qualify just didnt make sense at all. People just figured out that all you needed was to a have low overall rating and beat a higher overall team to qualify. 2K has to do better next year because what they basically asked every team to try and do was play against teams, and hope to god that the other team would sit there and get blown out and not quit the game. In a fight if someone doesn't wanna fight anymore, they tap out or quit. You have to reward people for making the opponent tap out. No one is gonna sit there and take a royal *** whooping just so YOU can qualify.

For 2k17 and beyond, i say we bring back Crew mode in its entirety. when i say that i mean everything we had back in 2k10 & 2k11 and thensome:

2K17 Crew Mode
1)5 minute quarters
2)7 timeouts per team
3)Games Played in Customizable arenas
4)Customizable sounds for each arena
5)Customizable shoes that can be worn for crew mode
6)15-20 Roster spots per crew
7)Detailed Stat Tracking & leaderboards for Crew mode
8)Detailed Stat Tracking within each crew to keep track of who's leading the team in pts, rebs, assist..etc
9)Customizable playbooks for crew mode(Being able to choose from any teams playbook current or historic.
10)My Player of the game
11)Play of the Game
12)Being able to show in the upper right hand corner of your screen which badges are being used while playing just like in mycareer.
13)This is Major..PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS SACRED,
Bring back commentary for Crew mode...it's been dead in the Jordan Rec Center, The Park & This year in Pro Am mode.

14)PA Announcer needs to able to be heard during the games. Half the thrill of scoring is hearing the announcer call your name after a big bucket. Try bringing in more than one PA announcers.

15)We also Need to increase the nicknames and the names in general that you guys have on file. We need more ethnic names than the ones that are on file.
meaning try more black names, and more russian names, and more asian names and more hispanic and more latvian names and more african names in 2k17. Its 2016...we shouldn't have to struggle with finding a name that identifies with the race or culture you come from.

16)We need to have it so that matchmaking can be set up easily. If you just came across a good crew and you want to set it up with them, it should be as easy everyone lining up in the same lobby and pressing start.

17)MyPlayer of the week, Myplayer of the month, Defensive player of the week,
rebounding champ of the week...hell, we need something to play for. Even after road to the finals is done, there needs to be an incentive for people to still play this mode. Come up with rivalries and bonuses for beating a rival.

18)Have the commentators mention at the start of the game if there are key players on the opponents team to look out for if they are hot/cold or if the oppenet has been on a winning streak or losing streak. If the opponent has lockdown defender whos been on a tear with steals or a Shot blocker who's manning the paint with his/her life, let it be known.

19)Bring back the Website from 2k10/11 we used to have that had the community attached with every crew thats been playing, their stats for every game, and who played in each game.

20)Have the leaderboards and qualifying for Road to the finals or whatever Esport game mode be based off of the quality of the opponent and also take into account of teams that quit. Quitting should benefit the winner, not take away from them.

21)Have The badge system work so that lets say if you play Mycareer, and you unlock dimer, you can only have it on bronze. Playing Crew Mode, based off the way that you play, if you average 10 assists per game for 25 games you can unlock the silver dimer badge online and then average 10 assists per game for 50 games you get gold dimer online.



22)Bring back The Catch and Shoot Badge as an Online only badge and make it so that the person receiving said badge is earning it based off of consistently coming of screens and shooting or always has their feet set when taking a shot and off those shots this person is shooting 50% and better from mid range and three point line in Pro AM mode.

23)Bring back Customizable shots like in the past so everyone can stop using the same tired old shots like LaMarcus Aldridge/70/22/MJ/Rudy Gay/Damian Lillard. Make the Ray Allen shot and the Carmelo Anthony work again. Those two shots used to be soooo water. Ever since 2k15 both of those shots have been broken. Hell, just make it so ANY and EVERY SHOT if timed correctly has the same chance of going in as the next. There shouldn't be OP jumpshots in this game. It should be strictly a preference.

24)Make it so that in Pro Am and every other mode that steals arent as easy as they were this year.

25)Multiple GM's/Owners for a crew so that if one isnt online your team can still play. The Original Owner of the team should never be able to be kicked by an admin.

26)MyCrew Online Leagues-This is something that is way overdue, just come up with a format where teams can join leagues and have seasons and championships and incentives to play for outside of just playing with your friends. I'll leave that up to you guys. Base it off of Myleague if need be.

27)Unlock Special layup packages and dunk packages(sprite dunk packages/Jamal Crawford/John Wall layup based off the style of Myplayer you have and how well you finish at the rack. All positions should be able to unlock all layups and dunks, but increase the amount of dunks and layups for centers and power forwards to be completed.

Thats all i have for now, but if anyone has any addition, please feel free to add to this list and hopefully the devs see this and make this a reality for us.[/QUOTE]

Re: Playbooks and Create Your Own Plays in Pro Am

Custom playbook for PlayNowOnline, MyTeam and ProAm are a must imo.

Re: Playbooks and Create Your Own Plays in Pro Am

This would be clutch if they added it, I'm tired of tryna run plays, telling everyone where to go. Speaking of ProAm I've been dying to play, but nobody wants to play it.

Plz just add custom matchmaking-plays-a bench-make stamina matter-change the upgrade system to individual stats-add all the stuff thats in teamup onto pro am and it would be legit

Perfect list... Adding to it

1. Private Matches
2. Ability to run a practice whether it's a mode or on MyCourt with a 5 vs 0 or 5 v CPU to practice plays.

Re: Playbooks and Create Your Own Plays in Pro Am

I don't think there is any point unless they really make some huge strides in gameplay. As the game is now even if they did have plays it would be more effective to just force and pump fake under the basket for fouls. if you don't get the foul or just make the shot anyway that's why you have another 7'3" center standing underneath the basket to get the rebound and do it all over again.

This needs to be in NBA 2K18... the pro am would look so much better with teams running plays... If players want to just run around the court bumping into each other let them do what they want but the teams running actual plays will come out on top!! Real sim basketball. I also agree with the announcers needing to be in Pro-AM. We don't need real life annoucers for Pro-AM just get some people that sound good to do it. It would make the immersion for Pro-AM so much better. It will make players more hype to play and do good.

Re: Playbooks and Create Your Own Plays in Pro Am

Being able to go to your pro am court with your 5 and run plays against bots in different sets would be lit!!! Just like how it used to be when you practice plays against the bots in scrimmage, we should be able to have plays saved and can customize the play however we see fit. Access to all playbooks new and all would be cool as hell. This definitely needs to be in 2k18 to.move pro am/crew moce to the next level. Oh yeah...we need full commentary and be able to record captures with sound in it...this silent capture stuff is ridiculous.

Get Rid of these HORRIBLE catch animations!!! They arent realistic and make the passer seem like they are incapable of making simple passes or make the receiver seem like they ha e butterfingers while having a stroke when they make the catch.

Totally agree!! I can't count how many times I had no defenders around me and I passed to some one thats damn near right next to me and it flys over there heads out of bounds. And YES I am a playmaker with MAXED out playmaking. Lets push this thread and make online Pro-Am better!!! Lets get these Pro-Am leagues and make it just like MyLeague Online so we could play a season and go to the playoffs to compete for a championship. These simple things are GAME CHANGERS!! But over everything we need the gameplay to be right because without it this would all be useless.

Re: Playbooks and Create Your Own Plays in Pro Am

I don't think it'd be too much to ask from them, it seems like the game already has the basis for it.

You can already do drills in MyCourt and in the Practice Gym. You can run entire games in MyCourt with your friends...

You can't do anything in the Pro-Am Team Arena, though. I hope they add some function to that gym and let us practice, scrimmage, create plays, etc.

Agreed!! Everything they need to implement this is already in the game except for the "create-a-play" feature. These things will force the casuals to learn ACTUAL basketball. That way it becomes a learning experience and a fun experience.

Re: Playbooks and Create Your Own Plays in Pro Am

If you're talking about Pro Am Team Arena matches, I don't see any need for a play creation tool in that mode since you and your teammates should already know how to execute all your plays before starting a match, and if that's not the case, then plays are already something that you're able to verbally communicate and physically walk through inside the team arena.

If you're talking about Pro Am Walk On games, you can have tons of arrows and lines telling randoms where to go on the court, but that still isn't going to make most people follow the game's visual instructions. Randoms are generally going to act random in Walk On, regardless of what the game is telling them to do.

It would be a waste of development time and resources to design, implement, and test a custom play creator for either version of Pro Am IMO.

I would much rather have the ability to play 5 vs. CPU scrimmages and unranked 5 vs. 5 exhibitions inside the team arena. That would be far more beneficial to the Pro Am community than having the ability to put some extra lines and arrows on the court.
