1) Lag
(by the time you are 10 points in, the game gets laggy)

2) Too easy to beat down
(Would be nice if they added some sort of comeback system where the ratings go up for teams losing, making more close game, and funner games)

3) Cages

4) Lack of variety.
(In 2k17 and prior, I liked the different looks and feel to the different affiliation courts. Ballers on the beach, Flyers on the board-walk etc...)

Just think about it, more than ever (especially because of annoying youtubers), people only care about keeping their silly records “clean” in the park. Record snobs have ruined the park. If there were not any public records in this game, you would see purples even playing in squads with brownies all the time because if you lose the lost doesn’t go on your public record. Everyone would have fun constantly playing with each other (without record worries), regardless of what overall their teammate is.

As long as records are public, this beautiful unity will never exist.

Led to people ducking comp and cherrypicking opponents they think they can beat to manicure their record/win %. Youtubers and other “elite” players creating a false perception with this and too many people chase after it. It’s a vanity record, it doesn’t tell how good someone really is This generation is scared of losing and building character/getting better through losing. Unrealistic expectation that they should win every game, hit every shot etc. If they don’t feel like they are completely dominating or might lose, they just walk off the court

EXACTLY. This explains it all. This is what the park has now sadly become. I hope 2K reads this thread and think of new ways to make the park more unified for everyone in 2K20. People have become way too obsessed with public records. It’s beyond silly and killing the park.

What’s the purpose of even having a park if everyone is scared to play with one another?

I think it's more about the showing of overalls than the records, but yeah I agree that both play a huge part in how many games are being played
