Live took critisisms of Park and turned pro-am into a great mode

Being able to play on all these legendary courts in a street style game is amazing

No ones speaking about 2k16 park. The premise of the thread is simple, that Live clearly made pro-am with the intent of avoiding the massive exploits park had. Everyone constantly complained about 7 foot small forwards who could do everything, so live implemented skill caps. They complain about zig zaggings, it's not even presented I'm live. Screen under the basket? 3 second violation.

How are we supposed to compare it against something no one has played? Even if you don't want to compare it against Park compare it against Jordan rec league. Same king of modes. However pro am has eliminated the majority of issues people had.

Lol everything said in the OP was in Live 14. I do admit that the various problems were avoided, but they were avoided before Live's Pro-Am was even a thing lol. Skill caps were since 15 and height restrictions were there from 14 on. Glad people are noticing this now though

Can't really tell if lives pro am is a great mode. It's been one day of a demo. Seen a few clips with OP spin moves and dribbling skills from centers. 3pt shooting success is pretty high too.

Pro-Am is just as bad as(if not worse than) the Park minus the wait times. Poor animations, lag(although less than the Park), easy access to the paint, poor rebounding, poor defense and there are still cheese tactics available; this is miles behind the Park.

And 2K just did the same exact thing...

Removed zig-zag cheese
Implemented positional height restrictions
Different scoring styles

I understand the need to compete, but I honestly feel like it was a bad idea for Live to take on a mode that is so heavily reliant on solid and balanced gameplay, when their gameplay is such a (perpetual) work in progress.

Its easy to sit back and learn from the mistakes of others, but when you are put under that same microscope will your own gameplay allow for those fixes to shine?

to that question i'll say that i saw a guy chain spin move down the court, and into the paint through a parade of defenders for a bucket...

...he didnt zig-zag tho.

The chain of dribble moves through the paint is FAR worse than zig zag. Guys were complaining about stringing together dribble moves with no consequence on 2K, Live has them beat by a country mile in terms of brokeness of dribbling.
