    NBA 2K16: Pro-Am is Here, And It Was Worth the Wait


    At long last, NBA 2K16's highly anticipated Pro-Am Mode was made available yesterday thanks to the game's latest patch. And I must say, it was worth the wait.

    For those unaware, Pro-Am was completely broken when 2K16 launched on September 25. Players were unable to join a game and try out the mode. In addition, players on the east and west coast could not join each other's games. Operation Sports knocked the game's final review score down a notch due to the issue.

    It's work fine now, but when My squad loads into games it gets out positions messed up. We're shooting guards and it matches us as SF,PF, and C. Every time.

      The cpu we had were rated in the 50s and wouldn't guard his guy even after hitting 4 straight 3 pointers. I'm on Xbox one so hopefully the patch will fix this

        I tried for over 2 hours to join a game last night and couldn't get past 8 players in the waiting room. Very frustrating!

          Yea, I'm on East Coast and around 9pm it was no problem getting into a WalkOn game.

          Making an 'Interior Defender' PF finally has meaning. Even if people don't pass to me, I live on the boards. Setting off ball picks so good random dudes are messaging me on how sick a PICK was. Just properly spacing the floor for a 98ovr guy in an ISO gives me joy. A+ teammate grade all day.

          Love it. Make me have a reason to play MyPlayer. Still skipping all cut scenes though.

            Man! this mode alone is worth my $60!

            had the best moment i can remeber in a videogame, maybe 2nd to first playing GTA Online.

            I play Center, we were down 1 with 23secs to go. Told the squad GIVE ME THE BALL at 10 secs and let me work!

            Got the ball, ready to hit my fader and it got blocked (shoulda passed out the double team)!! i was sick! then the other team tried throwing a full court pass and it went out of bounds (shoulda called timeout!).

            we call 2 timeouts back to back to get our inbound play together. i set a mean pick for our PG he came around the screen for the open mid range and hit the game winning shot!

            i havent felt that much excitment in a sports videogame ever. you couldnt tell us we didnt just win game 7 LMAO!

            Thanks 2k for getting it fixed, absolutely LOVE this mode. MY ONLY knock is we cant pick a team we'd like to play. say if if theres another team of we cant just set it up and play.

              Man, this mode is ridiculously fun.

              I love that there's legitimate defense in the mode...it forces guys to give up the ball...

              Got into 4 walk on games with my longest wait being 3 minutes.

              Now all I need is a squad!

                  What position you play? Looking for a PF or another Center to run with 4 others I have.

                    Pro-Am finally works.. and it's pretty awesome.. It would a million times better though if there were team rosters. But still..

                    I don't know if it's too soon to nitpick, but the leaderboards are still screwed up, the 5 players's names and stats in the matchmaking queue do not show up, nor do the team records, ranks, and win percentages.

                    The patch was huge though.. It definitely saved this game mode, and for me, this game. I hope 2K keeps improving and expanding the mode because it has the potential to be the best thing frickin thing 2k has ever done (in my book)

                      Are you looking for a squad? Really looking for a PF that plays smart on PS4. We have 4 players. 2 of the 4 are on almost every night the other 2 are on maybe every other night depending on their schedules.

                          I was literally so hyped for this mode. But with the exclusion of gaining any sort of rep, it's like what's the point?

                          Who over at 2K thought this was a good decision?

                            ^^^ I agree with you. They should of done it like the Rec from last years game. Gain rep for playing those longer games and getting real stats. Hopefully they consider it. I've been playing 4v4 on Sunset to make up for it.

                              But rep is for MyPark rewards. Strolls, clothes, some play boosts; NONE of which have anything to do with ProAm.

                              if you want rep, play MyPark. Those rewards do nothing in ProAm; so I don't know why you want rep in ProAm.
