Will be rooting for Throwdown on Xbox1. Played against them atleast 5 times and they were cheesing just like everyone else before the patch but after the patch they started spamming the pick and roll with shooters in corners and inside point guard.

Is this a win and move on bracket like nfl or will there be multiple game series.

Why would you root for them then?

I personally hope all these teams lose and no one wins just because of how stupid the qualifications were to make it this far, it took no actual basketball knowledge whatsoever.

To dominate in game like 2K16 against human opponents and i am talking about modes like MyPark, Pro-Am or just online head to heads you need ZERO basketball knowledge or skill. You only need to exploit certain areas of game, with that being said it's stupid thing to even organize eSports championship for such game.

Totally different thing is eSports tournaments in counter strike or starcraft where you actually need to think, have certain tactics and good reflexes (CS) and even though i don't play those games, tournaments makes sense because Koreans are really into that putting so much effort into strategy and execution of the same.

For this 2K sports championship is really a 'who can cheese better contest'.
When 2K becomes skill-based basketball game then we can talk about eSports championships & tournaments but until then is just who can cheese better and more successful.

So what, if people can create dozens of threads to ask for headbands, accessory colors & correct jersey collars i can ask for better gameplay.

Those threads don't exist though.

It's spamming. It's not feedback at all, just paragraph after paragraph about how you feel about the game. There's a wishlist threads even threads at touch on specific things. You don't have to invade every thread with that same spiel.

Cool that you can stream, but the whole thing still stinks.

I'd rather have smaller prizes with more accessibility to those of us that aren't bed-ridden 2k players to feel like we at least had a shot at something.

I'll be watching just to see what these players play like.

Anyone else wonder if these 2k patches were geared to help certain teams win over others? There could be a whole conspiracy goin down

One could easily argue that cheesing is a skill, even if it is one that should be minimized

Dozens of accessory complaints? Now that's just bull**** right there....there hasn't been a thread about accessories since Beds took helm with the roster updates.

That same beds can't put headband on Drummond, took out Otto Porter Jr. glasses, can't put headband on Willie Cauley Stein and many more examples. So there may not be lots of threads as i said but i saw numerous times posts like 'why Drummond doesn't have headband' or 'why you changed D. Rose hair but not other players'...list is too long.

Conclusion: Stuff like that beds can't control, it's graphic/art stuff and yet people will ask these questions as long as they play this game.

Because they are actually decent guys and not some internet thugs spamming n word after every 3 words like you usually come across in this game.

I would hope the same as you but that's impossible so might as well root for someone that i played against and communicated with.

And I agree with several others here, this whole tournament is a huge fail in my eyes. The qualification requirements were a total joke and patch 6 just threw a wrench in everything.

I feel like the whole tourney was absolutely trash since the jump.

I read the rules and was like...nope.
Didn't play once. Not a single second.

...why should anyone care, you ask?

Well I been the dude on here crying for this mode to come back lol, and saying how cool it'd be if there was playoffs or titles you could win against other teams for the past like 5 years...

I had a top 50 ranked team, just stopped playing. Found myself literally having to use exploits just to beat other "top" teams and once that happens my vibe's killed. I like winning off real ball. Real strategies you see team's in the playoff's using. You can still do it now, but before this patch it was an absolute mess.

So that alone shows who's playing in the tournament. Cuz guys like me who actually missed the competition ain't even in it. It's the new guys who just started playing.

I mean catching the stream is a cool feature..but not to watch the fake ball that's gonna be on there.
