If anything needs to be nerfed it’s the animation that causes slower players to stay with way faster ones by just riding their hip it’s super annoying at the center position bailing out theses slow 7’3 centers

Standing dunks under the rim may need to see some type of nerf. I’m seeing countless centers sit under the rim and dunking over great D.

Both of those issues definitely need to be addressed soon.

I'll add two more items to the list of paint problems in Pro Am:

1) Three-second violations aren't called accurately. The game gives people closer to 6 or 7 seconds in the paint before a whistle finally blows.

2) Big men can hold down the "set screen" button in the paint to become invulnerable; you can't touch them or box them out without bouncing off them like a pinball whenever they are holding "set screen."

Honestly I think the more they tinker with this and that the more something else gets messed up 2k should just leave the game alone

Shot percentages are too high. Shots shouldn’t be this money.

I agree, but we are in the minority, unfortunately.

The majority of this game's community wants to "green" every open three they take just because they "know their release."

I'd much prefer to play a game where 50% three-point shooting is the ceiling for the best pure sharpshooters. But in 2K18, you're a mediocre player if 50% is your shooting percentage. The best sharpshooters are hitting 70% of their threes right now.

Even my shot creator with with his 74 open three rating and no shooting badges but bronze corner specialist is hitting 60% from three so far this year. If you just go by my character's ratings and badges, I should probably be making more like 35% of my threes.

I'm just resigned to accepting that online 2K is an arcade game by now. Hoping for any kind of realism just ends up being frustrating, this series is clearly being designed for a different type of community at this point.

In my mind, Pro Am is the exact kind of online basketball game mode I always wanted, however the easy and cheesy gameplay that's actually in it kills that dream completely, with the ridiculously high shooting percentages being the main reason.

The occasional Play Now Online game is all I'm touching at this point; Tekken 7 has become my new PvP fix for actual balanced online gameplay.

Its sad that I'll have 3pt shooting games where I shoot 40% and in my teammates eyes I had an off game. 40% 3pt shooting is a bad game, like come on. The meta of Pro-Am is so messed up, I really hope they turn it around and make this more sim and let the park players have their 60% shooting and stuff.

Your team seriously got on you for 40% shooting??? Wow.
