    Believe me, we've broken it down many times with the dev. team. They're very aware and I'm confident this should be the last year you see this type of thing.
    What about the 5'9 PG that posterizes everyone on the park? What about the the fact that if someone is already in an animation you can't attempt to block the shot(dunks and lay ups)? What about people just tapping steal and stripping the ball when you get a rebound? What about a game mode for people who like to join up with their friends and play with their MyPlayers but want to play a real game of basketball but don't have a full five to go to the rec center with and don't have half an hour to wait to get two randoms to come join only to have them hog the ball and try to dunk every time down the court without playing any defense causing the experience to be absolutely horrible?

      Your thinking is spot on too. I prefer the rec but hate that it's 5v5 and can't have any 3v3 or anything. I hate that my friends are flyers and I'm a baller - (allstar) and can't play anywhere but the stage or I lose my stats if i switch. Affiliations aren't great at all. The attribute bonuses are ridiculous, give a bump to shooting when you're already a 99? or athleticism/defense/etc at 99 already? Crew coming back would be great where you could take on other 3v3 guys, 4v4, or 5v5 instead of having to wait or find randoms.

        Re: NBA 2K15: The Park's Scoring Needs To Change

        Nice article but really if the score is 15 play we play all 1s...

        If its 21 we play by 2s but if you did 2s & 3s it would serve both inside and outside players. Especially against these teams who only shoot 3s.

        There just needs to be an option to have custom games by 1s/2s/3s

        And maybe some courts or parks with different scoring rules but I don't feel every game should be to the same score by the same set of 1s & 2s because even tho it's fun, it gets repetitive.

          Exactly.

          If my 7'3 center (or even my 6'9 pf for that matter) would be able to dunk after an offensive rebound i would do just that, unless of course we need a 2. However, in this game the presence of one 6 footer next to me is enough to make my guy go into a weird/unnecessary contested layup that usually misses. THAT is why most rebounders kick it out.

          Also, about posting up. Most don't do it because they immediately get stripped/doubled when they attempt it. Not because they don't want to score...

          Finally, not every rebounder stands under the rim cupping his privates. Personally i move around a lot, setting screens and flashing to the basket. I even post up from time to time. Either way, as much as i dislike those who do it, it's 2k's fault for not implementing def/off 3 seconds and making that screen animation impossible to box out against.

          And for the love of all that's holy, please 2k give us the ability to box out people who are standing behind the backboard to avoid the 3 sec in the rec.

              I don't play in the park so it wouldn't affect me, but I'm stunned that anyone anywhere in real life agrees to play 1's and 2's. I know that it happens many places, but still it is mind bogglingly inane. No one, at least I don't think anyone would, but you never know, would agree to play 2's and 4's, so that people agree to play 1's and 2's is ridiculous. Basic math skills for the loss.

                I wouldn't refer to you as the Dr. James Naismith of tracking pick-up basketball points.
                You're not tasking anybody with responsibilities of score keeping in a video game, though. The game will do that math for everyone. And if the community can't comprehend simple math and point differential, then wow.

                But someone else said it, the score and point values are far down the list of problems with the park.

                  I'm a 7 ft Center on 2k15 and played in a rec game earlier where I was playing shooting guard! Most of the time I never actually get to play Center because everyone else is taller than me, I can't shoot or dribble so it really frustrates me when I have to play small forward or shooting guard.

                    In games to 11 or 15 we always played 1's and 2's, in games of 21 or more we played 2's and 3's; it also changed depending on if we were playing full/halfcourt.

                      I wish 2k would bring back the clear out/elbow swing from the old dreamcast days. Back then, you could swing your arms after rebounds to clear space and avoid rips. I don't know how many times I have gotten a timely defensive/offensive rebound and 2-3 defenders reach in spamming the steal button repeatedly before I can even gather myself after coming back down to pass. They would have to balance that with animations. You don't want great offensive rebounders in the game to be able to automatically move you out of the way to pull off easy dunks at the rim and you don't want guys being able to reach in at will and not suffer any consequences..
                      EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                        I hope the an in-detail explanation of the changes will be made available for the public; how the system has changed, how caps will work, consequences of different choices, what are the limitations, etc.

                        It is very frustrating than getting 100+ hours into something only to find out it doesn't work how you thought it did and it's because the game creators were vague on the explanation. To be clear that's not meant to be accusatory, it's just a concern I have as a historically loyal consumer.

                        Completely agreed, I get a lot of rebounds and I kick almost all of them because safe putbacks aren't always as safe as they should be.

                          just to be Capt Obv. here, IRL pickup ball, places with 3pt lines usually play 1s and 2s, without the line it's just 1's. It does change the game a lot. Yeah I hope position-balance, zero in-game boosts online, an equal playing field, and realism are some things 2k16 will put in. I like a little Sim with my MyPark. When someone decides to make a G F or C, they should feel the benefits...and limitations / weaknesses of creating that position. I think height avg per position is a good thing instead of taking the once a generation freaks like Durant and making that common place.

                                Why does 2K make stuff that is so simple be so hard? Whoever came up with the waiting in the rec should be fired right now. The wait times are ridiculous! And if you do wait for that 30-40 minutes, the team on the court usually gets off and you're STILL waiting. The charge cheese is still on the game, just not backcourt. You get to half court and you're sucked into a charge even if you're going the opposite way. No one should be 7ft and moving like a two guard. The rebounding sucks. The playing for upgrades suck. The shooting sucks. I can't make a wide open jumper in a hotspot, yet someone else can make one fading away or hopping behind the line in the corner? Step inside the 3 point line it's an excellent release, behind it it's always slightly early, slightly late. It's so much BS in that game. Soooooo much animation. Every year the same thing. Corny my player story. Buying vc shouldn't even exist. I get you want extra money. And who wants to play as a mascot? Putting stuff like that in a game is why 2K is what it is. Focuse on gameplay and not stuff like that. And why isn't standing out of bounds in the paint 3 seconds? It is in the NBA. People just abuse it. I don't even know why I typed this, none of it will change.
