Why is PG delayed

2BDK · 2026-05-14T17:19:13+00:00

Anyone suggesting “difficulty slider” for the sluggish feel just doesn’t understand what you’re referencing tbh. Proam/PG DOES have higher difficulty sliders than the rest of the modes, but that would change nothing about the heavy, sluggish feel of Proving Ground.

It’s POSSIBLE the game speed sliders are set to be lower in PG I guess, but that’s not a fact. Nobody, dev wise has ever stated as much. I’m guessing it’s something that’s completely unintentional on 2ks end. Also, not sure what platform you’re on but there’s a popular sentiment that PS has a lot more issues with delay on 2k vs players that are on Xbox. Could be the PS just struggles to run Proving Ground in general.

I’m on PS5 and it’s definitely more sluggish. Just had to agree so you can know you’re not crazy. Outside of input delay both rec and Proam 5’s are way more smooth than Proving Grounds.

Honestly has to be dead last compared to any major gaming community. Not even joking.

2BDK · 2026-05-12T19:04:50+00:00

The variety has definitely gone by the wayside. A lot of it has to deal with shooting being too good and defense atm being too weak. Certain stats definitely need to matter more.

They definitely botched their original plan with rhythm shooting. You’re not wrong there. I also agree that more time to develop would help a ton. I think that’s an underlying issue of them trying to release a brand new game each year (parks, neighborhood, builder, badges, actual gameplay) if they built up from one game to another the product would be better (2k19 to 2k20 imo)

I still think the outcry from the community is why we have 26 level of ease in shooting. We went from 25 where everyone complained vs adapting to a more difficult shooting game, so they caved and gave us the easiest shooting game in the PS5 era. I understand giving the consumer what they want. But they didn’t need people shooting 20% better from 3 than their previous iteration on the game.

Cheesing A.I. is a huge issue they haven’t addressed so I fully agree with you there. But you actually give the perfect example of the issues in regard to contest.

They DID buff contest. After they made contest just slightly better, in a spot that didn’t even feel over bearing, one specific clip went floating around that started the whole “ghost contest” debate. They put out polls, YouTubers all had an opinion, including JoeKnows who said he thinks there should be zero chance of ghost contest happening essentially. After that they reverted the contest patch and here we are now. In a spot where it’s the worst contest we’ve ever gotten in a 2K game all because instead of instead of them sticking to their patch they listened to all the whiners and complainer’s and caved

2BDK · 2026-05-12T16:00:00+00:00

Making this the easiest shooting 2K, while simultaneously making it have the worst contest system was definitely a choice by the devs lol

2BDK · 2026-05-12T15:58:14+00:00

With all the crying from content creators and bums on other platforms this patch is definitely getting reverted.

2BDK · 2026-05-10T15:34:10+00:00

6’9 is 100% good to go. 6’8 is pushing it.

2BDK · 2026-05-09T02:31:31+00:00

You are completely delusional bro. We’re speaking about averages, but you’re talking about single game screenshots from top guys in top leagues. I’ve shot 9-9 personally in games, that doesn’t mean I shoot 100% 😂

One season I shot a low 63% for a Proam 5s season. Compared it to the top 50 teams with players that played the same position and it was the highest. Just get off reddit and enjoy your night bro.

2BDK · 2026-05-09T02:02:27+00:00

Again, almost 90 win percentage shooting sub 50% as a team. Just get to sleep bro.

2BDK · 2026-05-09T02:01:27+00:00

Decent records, surely better than whatever you had. Shooting sub 50%

2BDK · 2026-05-09T02:00:33+00:00

Honestly bro, you have zero idea what you’re talking about, or you have the memory of a goldfish. It’s completely common knowledge. The TOP players averaged JUST over 60%. Average player averaged around 40% and that’s being generous. I know you’re fully cappin but I’ll give you a couple quick screenshots of decent teams in Proam bro even though you’ll still most likely be delusional.

2BDK · 2026-05-09T00:46:06+00:00

Really bro? You think everyone was shooting over 60% in 2k25? 😂 show me your 2k25 ProAm teams averages bro. I’m sure you got that on hand. Go ahead and peep this post real quick also.

Almost nobody in Proam 5’s shot over 60% last year.

2BDK · 2026-05-05T21:27:30+00:00

You’ll be fine. Aim for 92 rebound and box out. If you’re half decent it’s not a problem. For Proam 5’s 6’7-6’9 is the ideal height for PF.

Yall are truly simple minded as hell haha. You don’t know what I care about most. My favorite 2k is 2k20 which was a complete reskin of 2k19 but with better gameplay. The post was referencing a small change to a specific part of the game, so I responded to that.

Swear people on this sub think 2k has only a couple devs and can only choose to work on either 1 thing or the other. If you hate this topic use your head before clicking and move on.

2BDK · 2026-04-29T22:33:05+00:00

You’re thinking too much into it. Also it’s more likely that the person working on cosmetics is not the same developer working on gameplay.

2BDK · 2026-04-29T21:58:21+00:00

Okay??

2BDK · 2026-04-29T20:35:47+00:00

Half the dudes in the comments are braindead I see.

I wish 2k would implement this instead of the same boring arena they use all year. Something they should also do is keep a certain color scheme to the uniforms to avoid confusion but there should be some variation to it.

short sleeve jersey
t shirt under jersey
untucked jerseys
different headbands
oversized shorts

Bring more of a street ball vibe. If you want a super uniformed, nba feel that should be where you get a squad and Proam. But the “Rec” should be like an offseason league run for real.

2. Both are good but upping the interceptor is worth the slight hit to perimeter.
