I get to play in good solid games online every night. It's funny that you call out MyPark/Pro-Am about catering to kids, yet in those modes, to be successful you have to be a good teammate, or be pretty insane on the sticks, sometimes you need to just be a role player, whereas the 5v5 online, it's catering to someone that constantly needs the ball in their hands. I actually have a teammate on my pro-am team, that is content with being a true role player, he gets 1-3 shots a game, and plays defense. We told him that's what we needed, not everyone is getting 20 shots a game, and he accepted it and tries his best within that role. Create a legend is lame in my opinion, why would I want to play as an overpowered legend? It gets boring in MyCareer dropping triple doubles nightly, I want a challenge which is where the Pro-Am and Park come into play. Due to people having to work together, very few times you play against a team that can cheese you, on 2k16 with 1000 roughly Park games, I've only felt like I've been had a couple times due to **** mechanics, and over 100 Pro-Am games, maybe 5-6 times. I will never find that in 5v5 online.

Gold Star. Awesome post. I'm 31, I love park. I loved Freestyle Online Basketball when I was in my mid 20s, and park is absolutely the same feeling with more controls.

I'll be the first to say Park can be a cheese fest. In reality, any mode that has children playing in any game that's even semi competitive will have that. The difference is that with children, you might lose in reflexes at my age, but out thinking them is very doable. If you have 3 guys that constantly move while moving the ball, it's a wrap on offense. That ball starts whipping around the court so fast that it's like 3 card monty. Doesn't matter where it stops, you lose.

This is why I never complain about attributes and am the guy who harps on balance. I'm fine stuffing different stats each game. The Win matters more than my ppg. If I go 2-3, drop 4 with 5 rebs, 5 ast, and some defensive numbers, that's a fantastic game. It means as much to me as dropping 21 by myself.

I think you should be able to create any player you want.....offline.

Online, balance. Diversity. Individuality and creativity. That's why you need caps for that.

Someone said already it'll be a bunch of balanced players. Cool, as long as I can trump them in the areas I specialize in, that's fine. 6'10 glass cleaner SF? Going to burn you off the dribble. Or out post move you. Or maybe get a glass cleaner PF and out rebound you. If everything has a counter, the game turns into a chess match. That means you actually have to put thought into what you're doing. That makes matches a struggle or difficult, which in turn makes it fun.

Doubtful my dude. I've gotten a cheap PS4 to play the game there because it was really hard to get games on PC last year. I might get it for cheap on PC later on the year.

There's going to be a lot of testing for me now [emoji24] we've been preaching this for years and the day has finally arrived!

I can't wait to see Glass Cleaner's, Post Scorers, and Lockdown Defenders on Pro Am. ****, I'm excited to see them on the park too. My hype level is at an all time high.

You know what would be interesting with how each myplayer is more of a specialist than in previous 2ks is having subbing available in proam games. Say you have 2 sfs, 1 is a sharpshooter and you have another that specializes in defense and during timeouts you can sub your sharpshooter sf and bring in your defensive sf maybe due to needing defense at the time or because your shooter needs rest.

This would work like all star teamup I guess. Just a thought, would make proam more realistic and of course mean more use of your multiple myplayers and of course it doesn't have to be the same position, maybe you and a buddy want to change positions or whatever. This all hinges on what improvements they made to proam of course.

That would be the dopest thing.. I can't tell you how many times I was on my PG, and our C was getting killed I wanted to help so bad.
