I wouldn't call it a monopoly. It's not about that. People don't realize that, by itself, this game more than doubled the size of the audience for video game basketball. Meaning, it's success went FAR beyond being the only option for a couple of years.

People really don't pay attention to this stuff. Even when it was Live, 2K and Sony's NBA series out there on the market the total sales numbers weren't hitting 5 million or they just barely got there. 2K is routinely doing 5 million+ on their own now and they're still doing it, even with Live re-entering the picture snagging some sales.

Exactly why I've always said the excuse for college basketball games' demise wasn't good enough, because you can grow that market if you put the time and effort in and properly market it.

Too amped for this mode... If it's sim-based, then I'm all over it.

It's not going to be sim based...it's an online mode. No online modes are sim, except for association and that depends on the league you are in.

I don't see any way they wouldn't have the customization options applicable to other gameplay modes.

Pretty easily actually, if they don't want it there. The Show has some nice uniform customization options with a logo editor (which appears on the field), but it's only applicable to Diamond Dynasty.

Player models look terrible what an embarrassment by 2K

NBA 2K16 2K Pro-Am Tourneys

Is it possible for 2K to implement a 64 team NCAA style tournament for the Pro-Am to add extra incentive for players/teams to actually play serious sim basketball?



Let's say they let all teams play through a qualifying period (maybe a couple of months or so) and invite the top 64 teams with the best record/win pct. and have them play in a one and done type tournament during the month of march for the 2K Pro-Am championship trophy.



Treat the qualifying months as a regular season and issue individual awards at the end of that season, and issue a MOP award at the end of the tourney.

There won't be any middle ground on this once its released out into the wild. It'll either be the best experience ever or an unmitigated failure. I can't imagine them creating something this server-side labor intensive without having a solid base to make it consistently perform at the level of their competitors. Making large sections of your game dependent on back-end infrastructure that isn't up to the task is a mistake you only make once, if you make it all.

I would honestly be shocked if they can't now deliver the online consistency that other titles have been delivering for a few years now.

Man alot of what i see is scary close to what lakers24 wrote in the greatest post in gaming thread he made. The creator sounds eerily similar and if 2k didn't already have that in the bag, kudos for listening to him.


Customization wise i mean. When is the next batch of info?

im not taking full credit but they were listening it seems

Honestly, though, I am not sure that the market is there for college ball as much as I love it. I love what 2K is doing however. NBA 2K is a smash hit, and now (hopefully) there will be a college aspect to it. College ball could get the exposure in the videogame space that it has never had before. Hopefully that peaks enough "casuals" interest to the point that 2K sees it as an endeavor to get into. If anyone can do it, 2K can.

NBA Live is about to roll over and die. We might see a delay release or possible cancellation again. This is GREAT NEWS. I haven't been this excited since I first got my Sega Genesis for Christmas.

Mike Wang said they were doing something big to make it the best game they have ever released, and its driving his gmaeplay engineers crazy.. so i not really worried about it in that section.. Gameplay can always improve, but their gameplay is already great, its not as bad as people make it out to be

They also said we had alternates in mycareer see how that worked out

It's still a possibility that we'll get that.

Man I am praying that we do. That would be a huge win for offline gamers.
