2K18 Pro Am Accesories Gone? Why?

[Kodii Rockets]

I realize that the Pro Am/Walk On community only represents roughly 15% of the MyPlayer community, but hopefully this gains some traction. Why was our ability to accesorize our players removed for this iteration? Is it a server issue?

Not only does this help us better identify each other on the court, but seemingly it would generate a bit more revenue for Visual Concepts. In a game with almost flawless gameplay, this, along with the removal of a lot of shoes/clothing options seem to be a glaring omission in an otherwise stellar game.

After the patch was released yesterday, I no longer hold much hope that we'll see this option returning this iteration, and I don't expect to hear an answer from the devs as to why, but I know there are quite a few almost strictly Pro Am players who noticed this right away. What happened?

I was a bit surprised that it wasn't in the latest patch but I would be surprised if they don't add it eventually.

I believe they'll have the option added. Looks like it was something that was overlooked in the midst of them restructuring the mode. This feature is very important if you think about it. They host a pro am tournament every year. Without accessories, the variety in player looks would be too similar and take greatly away from the "flavor" of the mode.

I don't feel right unless my guy looks like a Swat agent in Pro-Am. I need my accessories.

I'm curious. What kind of restructuring have they done?
Pro AM seems to be the same as last year, with the exception that we can no longer even match up against others by searching for opponents at the same time since you don't see the opponent team name.
There is a better looking arena, but that's about it. All the issues I had with the game mode last year are still there.

I didn't even think of that, that actually gives me hope for 2K18 after all. Hopefully we see something in that regard when the mega patch comes out, I just genuinely expected to see this added w the 15 day patch.

Only realized after spent ~5k VC buying them from NBA store and Swaggs trying to get them work for pro am team.

Yeah man, add not being able to equip ankle braces in an NBA game to the list of peculiar things for this year. Ankle tape (the length of tube socks) is an option though... Why?
