60 overall AI in rec?

[Hannibal of Carthage]

Why would 2K do this? Why not allow AI NBA players to come in the rec? For example, if the average rating on your team is 92, (ai) Paul George should show up and hop in if you can't find a teammate. Having a 60 overall AI is completely pointless and everyone doubles off of him.

Right!

What was the thought process here?

Why are they being loaded in at all?

Speed up matchmaking. In previous 2k's you could wait up to 20 minutes. Right idea with poorest execution. I like the aforementioned idea of adding nba players.

Re: 60 overall AI in rec?

Yeah this was very poorly thought out. Rec is my favourite mode and even one of these 60 AI players basically ruins the game. They might as well not be there because you’re essentially playing a man down. I really hope they release a patch for Rec soon because these AIs along with none of the stats tallying or displaying correctly is super disappointing.

Re: 60 overall AI in rec?

If there's more than 1 AI on my team, I immediately quit. I hate doing that but I refuse to play like that. It's stuff like this that makes people question how much 2K is interested in the details and would rather spend time figuring out different ways to monetize the game.

Re: 60 overall AI in rec?

most of the community don't have next gen consoles this was probably necessary until there's more of a player pool

That's why I said add NBA players. 60 overall AI is completely lazy and a terrible solution to an easy problem apparently

Something has to be done until more people get their systems. These 60 OVR AI's ain't it. I like the idea of adding NBA players.

This is killing teams.

Had an AI go to the line this morning for game winning FT's smh.

Re: 60 overall AI in rec?

Yep, pretty much just have to echo what others have said in this thread, that it was a good idea at a base level (speed up matchmaking, particularly when the amount of people with the console is relatively small) but a terrible implementation. There are so many better solutions, from random nba players (within a certain overall range), to just putting in 80-85 rated AIs who are actually somewhat competent.

The 60 overall AIs just further punishes people who don't go in with full squads of 5 (who are already at a big disadvantage as is), and I don't get why 2k consistently does this when they should if at all possible try to lure those 5 stacks into organized Pro-am while leaving Rec more for randoms.

Re: 60 overall AI in rec?

havent we been at this point when they first introduced proam (2k15 or 2k16?)? at first you could Not Play with less than 5 people, then they gave you very Bad AI players incapable of everything and then they made it so that the AI players Were at least solid players.

Apparently they also took away rep from pro am so now folks really going to not play in pro am and instead go to the rec to now not only beat up on randoms but now more than likely randoms with AI who is brain dead

Stupidest idea ever. Leave it to 2K. Multi million dollar company with common brain farts. Like who signs off on these trash ideas?

Re: 60 overall AI in rec?

Yeah....I'm not sure how this was put into place without ONE person stepping in and saying how much of a bad idea it is. At the VERY least have them guard shooters?....they literally made them as incompetent as possible.

The gameplay is fantastic. There’s just quite a few questionable design choices. Some are things easily fixable - like the 60 AI teammates in Rec and a host of small stat bugs. Others, like the unbalanced Myplayer builder, we’re probably stuck with. Honestly, if they hadn’t created these ridiculous PF builds and had lowered the point spread in the builder, this game would blow any other 2K I’ve played out of the water.
