    Pro-Am West/East region lock, any fix soon? Any update at all?

    Hello,

    I don't post on this board much, I'm more of a lurker to see if any issues I have get fixed cause they usually seem to get a response from actual developers or people involved with the game here. Anyways I've been looking around a little and I haven't seen much if anything on this Region lock issue for West/East coast players trying to play in a pro-am TEAM together (not just walk-on, the actual pro-am teams that you create and invite others into).

    I've had this game for nearly a month now, pre-ordered and everything to get it early and the main mode I happen to play is pro-am team with the team I've had since last year, we have a few players from various parts of the world (Ontario, New York, Miami). The problem happens when we try to get into our arena together, the guys in the east coast can join the same arena, me and the people on the west coast get into the same arena, but we NEVER get in all together. We're definitely on the same pro-am team, we've even tried meeting up in the same session, all joining a squad invite, and trying to walk in together, same result.

    I'm super curious first of all, how this became an issue because to my knowledge this wasn't a thing at all last year and other than the occasional issue with the servers, we never had an issue joining the same arena just to start a game, now a month in I haven't even played one game with my team and it's extremely frustrating because I really don't play much otherwise so the game is just on the shelf right now.

    Is there some sort of update or potential fix for this coming up? I'm sorry but it's seriously ridiculous that it's been a month and (I think) three patches into this game and they still haven't fixed something that LITERALLY makes it not possible for me to play a mode that's meant to work in the game. I tried looking all around and when I do see something about it, just a small post and people trying to tell them ways to fix it without completely getting the issue that WE LITERALLY CAN'T JOIN IN PRO-AM TEAM UP WITH OUR FRIENDS FROM DIFFERENT COAST, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US.

    Can someone please let me know this is ACTUALLY being looked at or that it's known this is a huge problem?

    I'm hoping this is fixed in the next patch.

      Same thing I'm wondering. Happened in 2k16 and for whatever reason I think it missed 17. It's unfortunate because I live in the mountain states and the rest of the people I play with live out east. Basically been playing Walk-On.

        Does the region lock also apply for All star team-up?, i can rarely find 6 to start a game.

          Doesn't appear to have been addressed in patch 4
          I used to put important things here

            Yeah, I just saw the patch notes so it looks like at least another month before this is fixed if ever.

            I've really lost faith with 2K, this is beyond ridiculous, even Mike Wang said they were working on it on twitter but it's all talk.

            It sucks because the gameplay is legit the best in 2k IMO, but everything else is seriously worthy of a 0/10. We're a month and 4 patches into the game and a huge mode is still completely broken.

            I really wish I hadn't blown $60 on this.

              The game feels better, but its foundation is worthless. To many ways to break this game, along with the fact rebounding is broken,traveling is aloud, and your cpu team mates seem to have a lack of awareness when playing on the court.

                It's ridiculous this hasn't been fixed. It should of been a high priority over shoes or other stuff in the previous patch.

                  Not a peep. Really disheartening to know this is at least sticking around til November. Sure wish I could actually play the modes in this game that are supposed to work. I literally wouldn't have bought this game if they let us know they were region locking the servers but instead they quietly do it without telling anyone and decide not to provide a fix or even an acknowledgement of the problem at all.

                  I'm certainly never pre-ordering another 2K game in my life.

                    My group has way too much difficulty getting into the same team gym (all located in the same state/time zone). 5 of us, all squaded up and entering the gym at the same time doesn't even work. On average it takes probably 15-30 minutes to get all of us in the same gym. If we're lucky enough to have that happen, the matchmaking is equally awful.


                    What should be a good time, normally ends with one or all of us getting fed up with entering and leaving the team gym just to find out, we made it into an empty gym yet again.

                      Having everyone load into the same neighborhood and doing the countdown thing doesn't even work anymore since patch 4. Everyone gets glitched at the door and doesn't load anyone in.

                      Then in walk-on it literally takes like 20 minutes to load into a game. By then a whole hour has passed and everyone is disinterested in even playing anymore.

                        The first hour after the patch we were able to join the Pro-AM with no trouble. Now nothing works, we can only get 3 or 4.

                          The process, yes it is a process, to get a pro am game going this year is unbelievably frustrating.

                            2k added new hair and beard but not fixing region lock. What a dumb idea?
                            I mean we all can’t hoop with our friends from other coast since day1. And they had fixed the region lock 2 years ago. What make them so hard to fix it this year?
