NBA 2K16 2K Pro-Am Interview with Jeff Thomas
 

We recently had an opportunity to interview Jeff Thomas, vice president of sports development at Visual Concepts to discuss some more details about the new 2K Pro-Am mode in NBA 2K16. While we had many questions from the OS community, most of them could not be answered at this time, due to details on other modes yet to be announced. With that said, enjoy the quick interview and let us know what you think.

Nice interview, thanks Steve..

Appreciate the info! I'm glad you don't necessarily need 5 human controlled people. Scheduling can be difficult when depending on a group.

Really wanted to see confirmation on if you can use the customization in other modes. Guess we'll keep waiting on that...

OS: If I only have 3 users in my team for Pro-Am, can I still play and have computer players as the other two players on our team, or do you need to make sure you have your team of 5 players?

JT: You can play with 3 players and 2 A.I. players.

Man, I was never a crew guy. But it's looking like all of those who were pining for are getting what they wanted and more. Now I'm excited about it.

EDIT: Aaaand just like that, I'm done again...
No thanks.
OS: Will teams be restricted by position? Example: Three 7-foot SFs and two centers? Or is it two guards, two forwards, one center?

JT: No there aren’t position restrictions.

I can play in my custom arena with only 3 people and 2 AI players? Can't wait lets go. looking like crew more and more

That's great to hear you can play with AI's. I know they'll have a cap on how tall/good you can make your guy by position, so no more monstars as 7' PG. Pro-AM definitely sounds a lot like Crew. Let's hope it works, and has no lag like the rec center currently has.

There will be restrictions on size per position and attribute caps. LD answered that months ago for me, so no more 99 overall perfect 7' PG or 99 ball handling C's.
