PARK/PRO-AM remove opponents archetypes being displayed before game

[nyk_fatboy]

Anyone else feel games would be alot more interesting if 2k removed the type of archetype your going to be matched up against? why show what your going up against? its something you should have to figure out on your own by scouting them play while you watch the game or something you learn while playing them and adjusting to it.

it shouldn't just be given during introduction.

in IRL at the park if somebody new showed up to the court and you have no idea how he plays... theres no random sign thats gonna pop up and tell you what kind of player he is and i highly doubt he's gonna tell you how he plays. YOU yourself have to play this man and learn what he does or watch him and learn what he does.

I 100% agree.

Remove from park. Keep in Pro-AM. In a real game situation, you're gonna have an idea of what kind of player you are going up against.

Yeah, but it's not hard to tell how someone plays. At least as a slasher I'd get a couple possessions of fair play. Then if i splash a 3 he's not going to dare me to shoot the whole time. Any non-shooting archetype could appreciate this. Matter of fact, until i see him hit 2 back to back a pure sharp is going to have a nice first few possessions.

Yeah...This is a terrible idea. Especially considering a lot of ppl play with randoms so you’ll never know a player on your team build. This makes 0 sense. GG

you can just inspect them and see there archetype while on the squad better yet your team mates archetype should be shown while standing on the squad spot together

Because the games are short and it would take a series of games to see the strengths/weaknesses of your opponent.

Rematches aren't guaranteed.

Definitely not for ProAM. In real life you have coaches and staff to tell you how to play someone. Maybe Park but idk since the games are so short

They'd have to remove it from player cards too, otherwise you could just hop on the got next, scout your opponents by looking at their player cards and have a unfair advantage and if you remove it from player cards it creates a problem when you want to pick up new team mates

I personally do not want 20 "what's your build?" messages whenever I enter a new Park.

You guys make it sound like this has ever supposed to have been in the game. It takes half the fun out of playing defense. Idk about you guys but i think this would ADD to my enjoyment of the game. Not only are they guessing mine, but i have to guess theirs.

I'm actually OK with not seeing my opponents' archetypes, but having it there doesn't do any harm. You can (rightfully) see them when you're walking around the park. 2K actually needs to do a better job of telling archetypes in pro-am (especially teammates). I think in (walk-on) pro-am, you see just your direct matchups archetype and there's no way to see anything else

I'd say keep it for park too. Yes, people don't walk around with an archetype plastered on them in IRL. But there's other ways to tell how they play which can't be emulated in a video game. I.e. you see people shooting around before the game, or you can just ask him (hey, how's your jumpshot).

This is an awful idea and you should feel bad.

i honestly am ok with either way but if they do choose to show them i think it should show the archtype when ya look at box score so ya can know everyone build, cause if im a slasher i like to know if there people with good rim protector down there cause then i have to be crafty down there, but like i said im cool either way if they remove scouting oh well ill adapt is way i'll see it
