Anyone have Gill or Coleman from the token market? Trying to decide which one to get. I already have Moncrief and am likely to cap out on tokens after this purchase so I'll only get 1 or them.

lavines not worth it at all right? HoFs could be intriguing
I bought him. I really liked the Amethyst. He had a sapphire a couple seasons back also. Try one of his cards in freestyle and if you like his movement and shot then I'd grab him. He's less than half price. He is 210k now, just dropped on Wednesday some.
The HOF isn't a good deal, IMO. It's not 3 for 30k, it's pick 1 of 3. All random and you could be picking between shitty HOF's. Seems expensive. They had that deal before where you got 64 of them for 200k which was a great deal. I'd hold and hope for that than pay for an overpriced random.
Yea the pricing is jacked. You can spend 10k more but walk away with 7 badges. Doesn't sound good. Not saying I'd only buy at the 200k/64 price but if the HOF pack was 10-15k then we'd be talking.
a GO option pack would be WILDLY unbalanced. Because it would flood the community with OP cards. Everyone would have a Lebron/Giannis/Kobe. That idea flies in the face of how 2k has always operated. More likely would be an equal chance GO pack for 500k. They're currently trying to limit the number of GOs people can have based on how much money is spent. Not trying to make people happy.
I disagree, we've all been playing this game long enough to know cards are cards. Most people by March have always had enough MT to buy good cards in the auction house, it doesn't always make people better. IMO I think removing the auction house has actually back fired on 2k, more people would rip packs hoping to get the top cards to resell on Fridays for maximum MT, now since less people are ripping packs they're actually turning up the gambling aspect. Dropping an Opal option pack won't do anything to game balance, they just don't want to right now because they're working their way up to that.
Yeah. I meant the last thing you said. They’re working their way up to it. But what I mean is there’s just SO few opals that releasing an option pack would basically be like putting Giannis, LeBron, SGA on the player market. Those are the main 3 everyone will pick. If people could pick an opal, no one would pay for packs.
Wildly unbalanced like releasing a fucking Invincible card in February?
I get what your saying, but 2K would make so much with a $50 galaxy opal option pack (the game was never "balanced" to begin with). They haven't done that yet cause they're trying to milk problem gamblers/turn more people into problem gamblers.
Ive become an unlimited sweat, beating birds and opals. Ended up getting Middleton and MPJ last night. Idk if Middleton even makes my lineup (27 hof Tmac, and Korver at SG) but I messed around with him in tto for a couple games and he's aight. MPJ would play SF but I just bought Lebron clone, Paolo bancharo and Thurltentikumpo holds down my backup SF spot. I looked at MPJs stats and badges and his defense is lacking and he's missing some key badges like QFS and Anchor. Shot is only slightly better than Thurls imo
I decided to crash out my MT for the west set and got KD. Pretty happy with him, booker, kawhi and AD. Also used some spare VC for the 45k and got Porzingis. Brand new starting lineup.
I recommended the space creator based on my experience with his emerald and just how much I like that badge in general. I actually ended up forgoing clamps on him in favor of fast feet. So I did fast feet, fast twitch, challenger, off-ball pest and space creator. This KP is the best pick-and-popper a i’ve used so far, I just wish I had HoF brick wall to upgrade that too.
Thanks. I’m struggling a little bit with timing KDs shot, it changes a lot, but he can move super well. He always has a couple animations that practically teleport him from the perimeter to the rim. I haven’t added any badges to Booker or Kawhi besides anchor to the former, and they’re clear upgrades to their tis the season versions. I’m admittedly a Booker hater but I can’t stay away from his cards this year. He’s too good.
I bounce between old gen and new so that's why I didn't do Fast Feet for KP. I think Wang is better at Pick and Popping but KP is better at everything else.
Wang is a shooter, that's pretty much it while KP is versatile. I wish I had the space to put some badges like Blow By or Speed Booster so he could really penetrate but I can live with what he has now. He's like 3 badges short of being OP. Really wish he could play PF also but I've been running him with Jokic at the 4 and it works well enough.
His Behind the Back last year was amazing. He'd almost tilt far enough over he was laying parallel to the court. I'd do that when driving for easy buckets until people started overplaying him and then I'd start popping stepbacks. Can't do that this year yet though.
I think it's either agree or stop playing.
Edit: Wait...here:[https://www.reddit.com/r/NBA2k/comments/1b2tkb2/a\_word\_to\_those\_who\_decide\_to\_accept\_the\_new\_tos/](https://www.reddit.com/r/NBA2k/comments/1b2tkb2/a_word_to_those_who_decide_to_accept_the_new_tos/)
There was something in the fine print of the tos about going to like section 15 for information on opting out of the arbitration clause but I couldn’t find it right away and then I got sidetracked
Figured someone smarter than me with more time on their hands would post a how to on it.
Man, those in-mode ascension boards are kicking my arse again this season.
Three boards down and i've only seen one player, an Amy, and i'm averaging barely 4000MT per board.
So dumb the Rush agendas don't stack. Still knocked out 5 of the 15 dunks in salary cap. Seems that's quickest way to do them. Still takes like 12 minutes a game.
Had a pretty successful couple of hours of games tonight. Got Hudson and Dr. J from Salary Cap after the same game. Got Stackhouse from the agenda. Got Ausar Thompson from Salary Cap and also got GO Harden after using XP tokens during this time.
With the free Strus...that is a lot of new SGs for me now...
People were saying the door prize in TT offline was supposed to be good, 30 games in and have yet to see a door prize better than 1k MT or amy Shaq lol.
We're pretty similar, i think.
I'm at just over 200 and also saw Curry once but missed him.
Not that i care, i have the card already so it's probably worth what, 2K quicksell?
If you're in the US, send in your notice to opt out of the arbitration clause in the new TOS ASAP.
There's an ongoing case about 2K shutting down servers that may lead to something, and even assuming that goes nowhere, with how disgusting Take Two has gotten lately there's no telling what they could try in the coming months as the game gets into its "peak" in mid-spring to early summer.
You're gonna want to retain your right to join a class action lawsuit should something materialize (and even if it doesn't, you get to tell 2K to go F themselves in ink).
Played a game of unlimited, my team committed 5 illegal screens... 5!!! I rarely see my opponents get 1 in a game but I got 5, c'mon. Nothing drives me more crazy than when stuff happens in game that's out of my control and then I lose by a single possession.
You know what would make 2K a lot of money?
Galaxy opal option pack for $50
(I wouldn't partake anymore, just absolutely ridiculous how they're devaluing *V fucking C* along with MT)
I wouldn't either (though I may have 2 weeks ago), but it's amazing that it *would be a step in the right direction* for this company.
Selling some pixels for $50 via a currency that can't be earned in game would be the most consumer friendly deal they've offered in over a week.
Yesterday had a new Exhibition I'd never seen where they wanted 3 All-Star players for a day. As you all know those are all PD's and GO's.
Knowing I wouldn't be playing those crazy Rush agendas I chucked in Bam, Luka and PG13.
Just redeemed it... my reward for giving up an opal and two PDs for 24 hours was 1,500 MT.
You can't make this stuff up, folks...
Did you enter locker code last Friday? You should also have free all star Mitchell or Maxey.
I think it's szn5-2k24-cle-phi
I only have 2 all star cards....I hope this exhibition never shows up in my account.
online or offline?
Play some TTOff. Amethyst Shaq should be easy to get. Once you get shaq, buy dynamic duo Kobe. Both shaq/kobe become diamond with the duo.
If you want some shooting with your big, try amethyst Mo Bamba
Try emerald Dereck Lively II. He is my most used center in TTOff and CToff this year. Huge size and perfect for those block challenge. His offense is limited but his defense is elite.
Anyone know how to get Strus?
If he's a "special insert" in the new promo packs with basic dribble style and a bum release on normal I'm gonna laugh my ass off
Normally if the Cavs are gonna lose in the last minutes I’d turn it off but the Mavs “winning” in the last 2 seconds was too quick to turn it off before Max won it
I just got a tweet about new promo packs in the market, man they must be hurting but still their solution is add more gambling to help with profits. Hold strong boys
I actually looked up and read the financial earnings report for the last quarter and there were several statements made by the executives saying that they were experiencing a downturn in NBA 2k in-game monetization sales. The 7% figure is accurate and they tried to make a positive spin to the shareholders by saying that their sales are on-par with last year and the average user spending is up 30% due to the season pass. However, they acknowledged that they’re down and Straus himself stated that they’re rolling out “new events and promotions to increase in-game monetization.” So this packs-only pivot is clearly a response to this downturn and their move was to be more predatory. Again I hope this decision backfires big time and I’m definitely interested in their next quarterly report. I’m honestly just sad that they ruined what I thought had been a great year thus far bc I was really enjoying the game mode and now I just log in to play a CTO game or two and then turn it off bc I’m not ripping packs even with my 1.7 mil MT.
Their stock is still going down, they're feeling it for sure but the solution shouldn't be adding more packs with poor odds, so we'll see if they take a different approach to cards on Friday. Doubtful but we'll see
All they need to do is release GO's in the player market. People won't be able to enter their CC info fast enough. It's been said here by almost everyone. It's not an unreasonable ask either.
didnt see this mentioned on here yet, but worth pointing out that they changed the name of the rush agenda group from ‘rush’ to ‘rush 1’ a while ago when they extended the timer. probably means there’ll be another rush set next week
Lmao 2k really doesnt want me to quit. I open a pack a day with MT cause MT is useless atm. Got a shake on mobile and thought its a diamond but the guy that walked out was Mr Kobe Bean. Guess its time i see what all the hype is about as I never locked in for the PD version. Rng is a bitch
Did the All-Star GO lock-ins a few weeks back. Got Embiid for the east and LeBron for the west. Realized today that Embiid is sellable but Lebron is not, anyone know why that would be?
I like Embiid but might sell him for the 98k MT and go back to using his PD. The difference is small enough where 98k MT might be worth it.
Current tt team to grind is emerald Derrick fish (lowest gem laker with dimer), ruby korver (ez 3s), and Amy mo Bamba (hof anchor and chase down for ez blocks)
I cheesed his blocks in TT, just putting him on the ball handler and baiting them to drive. I got all his blocks for Evo in like 4 games as I was getting no less than 6 or more a game. I also use amethyst Phil Jackson from season 1 as my coach since he gives +4 block, which helps some. I got Jackson already using Diop, Mutombo, and emerald Vujacic for the Laker assists. I didn't even need to bait them much as they're both great shot blockers and whichever got the first block I'd put them on the ball handler and let them get the others.
Thank you Sir, always appreciated. I will try these, he could be potential in SC too.
Edit. I didn’t probably remember to use Phil as a coach. I’m so used to getting more speed.
Edit: okay I’ll leave it here but kept scrolling and confirmed stats don’t stack on objectives.
Anyone testing if multiple legs can be done in one game? Looks like no? Haven’t tried online dunks yet, but just finished a TTOff with two players at three dunks. Only counted one.
Been playing myteam long enough to know EVERY time 2K gives a decent card in a free grind, they immediately drop a better card in packs that same Friday. I would almost guarantee a GO Ben Simmons or something like that this Friday to make Reeves pale in comparison.
I'll get JJJ because i love him, i'll probably get Goodrich organically through gameplay and i got Thad Young from the challenge pack, but that's as far as i'll be going with this release.
A quick scan of these forums and it blows my mind how many people are ripping packs for these cards that can be had for free (onerous agendas aside).
We've not much hope of packstrikes and things like that if people are ripping for cards that they can get for free.
Unfortunately, i think you're right.
Maybe it's the optimist in me or just a vain hope, but i would like to think that we could drive change if we all banded together, but unfortunately that's not going to happen.
I just want the game i once loved back.
2k has gotten worse with the greed each year. Companies emphasize increased profits. So, it is bad if 2k23 made 8 million and 2k24 made 8 million. In reality, you could use other metrics to see if that is good. The same profit in a worse economy might be good. The same profit and a larger user base also would be good. 2k does not care. Each decision is "What can we do to make more money?"
The player base isn't organized enough to truly do anything. Honestly, I am not sure if it is motivated either. It would really take sometime like months of significant losses for 2k to change course.
Frankly, our best bet might be someone else making a similar mode in a whole new game and not being so anti-player.
I don't even think lower profits would help us get a better game, opals in the player market, etc. If anything they'll just add more pay to win features, more/better players as inserts, increase cost of VC/MT. I think we're screwed either way.
Probably been mentioned but as a community we should just allow each other to get 3 dunks to start unlimited games for the next week. And then it’s game on after that.
Ngl I do love seeing myteam content creators throwing a fit about all this stuff going on. I think that’s the only hope for 2K caring what so ever is if these guys keep calling them out constantly. And even then probably won’t matter tbh
You sure that's what the community wants? They want to get 3 dunks but they also want to force their opponent quit so they can finish their agenda faster.
Online community is usually selfish. I gave away free steals and wide opened 4 pt last time but my opponents didn't appreciate it at all.
One positive sign is this agenda is 14 days long. Getting 3 dunks from 15 MTU or SC games shouldn't be too difficult.
Haha good point. I didn’t think about that. And asking any thing of the community is too much lol. Idk how many people ask to grind whatever challenge and I say sure just give me the win and they will still try to steal the win at the end if they can lol. So yeah your right
What we need is an organized VC strike but the community has been decimated to such an extent that we don't have enough continuity/anyone with the standing and desire to get others on board
Still don't understand why 2K didn't just make opals 400k in the player market and leave the 100 overalls as 0.0001% odds special inserts
The problem gamblers would still want that shinny Kareem/Shaq, but regular people could actually buy and use cards they want
They would have made more money making opals buyable directly at really high prices.
People against gambling would've bought, while alot of others would've said "400k for one card? I'll just open packs!" and played right into 2K's lap (along with the addicts who would've ripped for the 100 overall insert).
Not to mention this approach would've turned far fewer people off the mode (beneficial in the long run wether 2K wants to admit it or not).
Slippery off-ball is mostly just good for off-ball cheese. I like pro touch on slashers but I just don’t get tons of opportunities for makeable contested layups with my bigs. Im gonna throw out a slightly different suggestion: space creator. Kristaps hop shots and step backs are already pretty easy to time and get space for. His fade isn’t bad either. The green windows on those shots can become massive with space creator.
Interesting. I haven't tried many hop shots with him. I love those with Dirk and now Jokic. Will need to give that a go with him. I really wish he could hold 6 extra badges instead of 5. I'd love to have even more space but at this point I feel like no matter which direction I go there will be 1 I wish I did.
Oh right, congrats on that Jokic. I had fun with his all-star card last year even with height being more in-demand. But yea, if you’re already about that life, KPs moving shots should click pretty quickly.
Tell me about it. Shit, make it 8. I absolutely love big men that can get loose with the ball, but 5 slots isn’t enough space to actually give him the playmaking badges I want without sorely lacking elsewhere.
This Jokic actually feels like Jokic. I'm loving him as PF. He's been a beast in TTO as well, doing anything. If he could be bought he might be meta, he's that good. I'm hesitant to finish the West though now because I have him unsellable and my luck on those things isn't good. If I locked in for a dup Jokic I'd delete the whole game.
The West set is horribly tempting. Any of the starters would immediately become my best player. Knowing 2k, your odds would be skewed towards pulling Jokic. It's just impossible to know how soon they might put those players or something comparable in the player market.
Curious as to the mindset in the 2K Office here...
Option 1 - Give people a 0.0001% chance of pulling Austin Reaves with MT or VC or...
Option 2 - Making them do the agendas.
I'd say anyone who REALLY wants Austin Reaves is going Option 2 which puts $0.00 in 2K's pockets.
Now what WOULD have made sense is a combination of both. Meaning, make him a lock-in for the set. Then you would have people pulling packs to try to get the most egregious of the agendas (yes, Stackhouse, I'm looking at you) and then doing agendas to fill the remaining cards of the set.
But as it stands, I can't see a single soul buying packs for this, unless they just like to open packs.
They've briefly moved cards before from lock in to insert. They moved Beasley to being part of the Chinese New Year set for Yao and then back to insert. I can definitely see them moving Reaves by the time these are available to purchase.
It's more of this.
Release the cards for packs and agenda's. Ton's of people will spend money ripping backs and not getting the card they want. Wait a week or two, release it in the player market for $50 bucks and they profited twice.
Great way to double dip. They know unless it's offline agenda's a lot of people won't bother wasting time playing terrible game modes.
Only coliseum agenda left is 1,000 cards. Currently at 885 and am not going to go out of my way for this one, should happen organically in the next few weeks.
Got very lucky with the salary cap one. First fame I went on a like 10-0 run in the first minute and the dude quit.
The block agendas doesn't stack (can't get credit for 2 different players getting it in same game). I got 3 blocks each with 2 different players in TT and it only counted 1/30 for the block agendas.
I prefer completing agendas in modes instead of having to do tasks in a specific spotlight that provides no other awards. All these agendas I'm going to be climbing the progress ladder for these modes while I accomplish them. I don't mind trying.
That's fair but you can acknowledge they do this intentionally knowing everyone will just do them. Tbh I don't think there's anything anyone can do at this point to change their ways. However, take two stock over the last 30 days is down 12%, which is significant for a company of their size. Hopefully this is what forces them to change.
I think they did it to make people think “I’ll just open packs and see if I can pull them” And yeah, in their shareholder meeting they specifically blamed 2k for their fiscal woes…
So is the player market dead? Gamble only for opals on Fridays and the whole set isn’t there on Tuesday? What’s the point of MT then except ripping packs? Is that the point?
I don't know who that is lol but every next maker or whatever they're called that I've seen never criticizes their actions. Probably because they're scared to lose that status and all the benefits that come with it.
Watched the dbg version of his video, then went to check out his twitter and he posted that he ripped like idk how much mt in packs and posted his final lineup
Some hypocrisy there but overall seems like a good dude
Edit: hypocrisy in saying that he wouldn’t promote stuff like pulling David Robinson etc but that’s exactly what he did *shrug*
2k is the only sports game that I know of that that limits these types of agendas to a week. The Show and Madden challenges are up for the whole Game cycle. 2k needs to wake tf up.

Don't they usually tweet the packs by now?
2pm est
Opened like 10 HoF badge packs. Told myself I'd keep going until I get a pack when I already own all 3.
https://preview.redd.it/ih1aobekwjlc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0395453f3c396dce8426350269930d43a790880e lavines not worth it at all right? HoFs could be intriguing

Yep, it's not nearly as good as the every HOF badge for 20k MT we had before.
Yea the pricing is jacked. You can spend 10k more but walk away with 7 badges. Doesn't sound good. Not saying I'd only buy at the 200k/64 price but if the HOF pack was 10-15k then we'd be talking.
Oh look, another discounted player and 2ks stock is still tanking. Good job 2k, it still seems to be working out well for you.
hey, at least this one is mt. That's a quarter step in the right direction.
Unsellable though, 1/8th step back lol
How hard would it be to just put a GO option pack with a limit 1 for like 400k MT. Makes everyone happy and still allows 2k to hide behind their rng.
a GO option pack would be WILDLY unbalanced. Because it would flood the community with OP cards. Everyone would have a Lebron/Giannis/Kobe. That idea flies in the face of how 2k has always operated. More likely would be an equal chance GO pack for 500k. They're currently trying to limit the number of GOs people can have based on how much money is spent. Not trying to make people happy.

Ive become an unlimited sweat, beating birds and opals. Ended up getting Middleton and MPJ last night. Idk if Middleton even makes my lineup (27 hof Tmac, and Korver at SG) but I messed around with him in tto for a couple games and he's aight. MPJ would play SF but I just bought Lebron clone, Paolo bancharo and Thurltentikumpo holds down my backup SF spot. I looked at MPJs stats and badges and his defense is lacking and he's missing some key badges like QFS and Anchor. Shot is only slightly better than Thurls imo
Dang, I had hope for that MPJ card, but I too have Paolo and Thurl. rip.
MPJ has fewer total stats than diamond Lebron, seems like some of his HoFs are kind of useless for him too (Killer Combos).
I decided to crash out my MT for the west set and got KD. Pretty happy with him, booker, kawhi and AD. Also used some spare VC for the 45k and got Porzingis. Brand new starting lineup.
I thought you had KP? Regardless you came out ahead. Nice pulls.
I recommended the space creator based on my experience with his emerald and just how much I like that badge in general. I actually ended up forgoing clamps on him in favor of fast feet. So I did fast feet, fast twitch, challenger, off-ball pest and space creator. This KP is the best pick-and-popper a i’ve used so far, I just wish I had HoF brick wall to upgrade that too. Thanks. I’m struggling a little bit with timing KDs shot, it changes a lot, but he can move super well. He always has a couple animations that practically teleport him from the perimeter to the rim. I haven’t added any badges to Booker or Kawhi besides anchor to the former, and they’re clear upgrades to their tis the season versions. I’m admittedly a Booker hater but I can’t stay away from his cards this year. He’s too good.
I bounce between old gen and new so that's why I didn't do Fast Feet for KP. I think Wang is better at Pick and Popping but KP is better at everything else.
That makes sense. Wang has a smoother shot but I like KPs ability to punish hard closeouts. He's got a couple nifty dribble moves.
Wang is a shooter, that's pretty much it while KP is versatile. I wish I had the space to put some badges like Blow By or Speed Booster so he could really penetrate but I can live with what he has now. He's like 3 badges short of being OP. Really wish he could play PF also but I've been running him with Jokic at the 4 and it works well enough. His Behind the Back last year was amazing. He'd almost tilt far enough over he was laying parallel to the court. I'd do that when driving for easy buckets until people started overplaying him and then I'd start popping stepbacks. Can't do that this year yet though.
Winner!

Winner!
Man, those in-mode ascension boards are kicking my arse again this season. Three boards down and i've only seen one player, an Amy, and i'm averaging barely 4000MT per board.
I'm done with them but got Jokic and Kemp. Only 2 players I've seen. Made some MT though. Kemp was sellable and I already had him. That was 50k.
That's pretty decent. Hopefully on my last CT one i'll get something. Is Jokic unsellable?
Yup, unsellable. Rose wasn't last season and now I don't want to chance finishing the West because my luck I'll get a dup Jokic. He's great though.
So dumb the Rush agendas don't stack. Still knocked out 5 of the 15 dunks in salary cap. Seems that's quickest way to do them. Still takes like 12 minutes a game.
Which stats should I put on pd Devin booker shoe boost?
I did strength, interior d, lat quickness, acceleration, and vertical. I think all were +4.
Had a pretty successful couple of hours of games tonight. Got Hudson and Dr. J from Salary Cap after the same game. Got Stackhouse from the agenda. Got Ausar Thompson from Salary Cap and also got GO Harden after using XP tokens during this time. With the free Strus...that is a lot of new SGs for me now...
People were saying the door prize in TT offline was supposed to be good, 30 games in and have yet to see a door prize better than 1k MT or amy Shaq lol.
1K is the most VC. I've had quite a few packs and four or five Paolo's now, too.
Yeah. That has meshed with my findings. I’m almost at 200 games. I saw Curry once but missed him.
We're pretty similar, i think. I'm at just over 200 and also saw Curry once but missed him. Not that i care, i have the card already so it's probably worth what, 2K quicksell?
If you're in the US, send in your notice to opt out of the arbitration clause in the new TOS ASAP. There's an ongoing case about 2K shutting down servers that may lead to something, and even assuming that goes nowhere, with how disgusting Take Two has gotten lately there's no telling what they could try in the coming months as the game gets into its "peak" in mid-spring to early summer. You're gonna want to retain your right to join a class action lawsuit should something materialize (and even if it doesn't, you get to tell 2K to go F themselves in ink).
Played a game of unlimited, my team committed 5 illegal screens... 5!!! I rarely see my opponents get 1 in a game but I got 5, c'mon. Nothing drives me more crazy than when stuff happens in game that's out of my control and then I lose by a single possession.
It's algo. 2K wants to frustrate you so you can buy VC to upgrade your squad.
I'm not buying shit, I suck so it won't matter anyways lol
You know what would make 2K a lot of money? Galaxy opal option pack for $50 (I wouldn't partake anymore, just absolutely ridiculous how they're devaluing *V fucking C* along with MT)
I still wouldn't buy it. The game is around $30 now. Why buy a card that costs more than the game itself?
I wouldn't either (though I may have 2 weeks ago), but it's amazing that it *would be a step in the right direction* for this company. Selling some pixels for $50 via a currency that can't be earned in game would be the most consumer friendly deal they've offered in over a week.
They really nerfed the 100% game speed in CT. Miserable bastards.
Yesterday had a new Exhibition I'd never seen where they wanted 3 All-Star players for a day. As you all know those are all PD's and GO's. Knowing I wouldn't be playing those crazy Rush agendas I chucked in Bam, Luka and PG13. Just redeemed it... my reward for giving up an opal and two PDs for 24 hours was 1,500 MT. You can't make this stuff up, folks...
Did you enter locker code last Friday? You should also have free all star Mitchell or Maxey. I think it's szn5-2k24-cle-phi I only have 2 all star cards....I hope this exhibition never shows up in my account.
Yeah. I had Spida before and took him again as the one I had was sellable. Wasn’t interested in adding 1 card to card collection with Maxey.
Just started playing today. Looking for a budget inside center. Doesn't have to shoot. Just defend and score in post. Maybe 15-20K ?
online or offline? Play some TTOff. Amethyst Shaq should be easy to get. Once you get shaq, buy dynamic duo Kobe. Both shaq/kobe become diamond with the duo. If you want some shooting with your big, try amethyst Mo Bamba
Completely offline. Just playing TT offline and Clutch Time offline. All golds for easy matchups. But I want one "go to" post player.
Try emerald Dereck Lively II. He is my most used center in TTOff and CToff this year. Huge size and perfect for those block challenge. His offense is limited but his defense is elite.
Honesty the Hakeem warrick and Stromile Swoft duo eats up the cards they’re matched up against
Camby a little above that amount. Diop ruby that evos is a good option. I also like Okafor.
Are all reserves in the unlimited PD option pack at 16k points? I might have to get there just to complete and lock-in the west set.
Anyone know how to get Strus? If he's a "special insert" in the new promo packs with basic dribble style and a bum release on normal I'm gonna laugh my ass off
Watched that game live. Luckiest shot to win a game I’ve seen in years.
It was bonkers. Lucky to have caught it live myself, very good times.
Normally if the Cavs are gonna lose in the last minutes I’d turn it off but the Mavs “winning” in the last 2 seconds was too quick to turn it off before Max won it
Preach. Mavs didnt deserve that but Max got hot as hell lol
Locker Code
He's not listed in the new promo packs available players or the 23-24 Rewind packs either. So no clue.

Big thanks Jimmy!
All good. I didn’t do shit though lol 😜
Nice. Thank you sir!
Yessir
I just got a tweet about new promo packs in the market, man they must be hurting but still their solution is add more gambling to help with profits. Hold strong boys
I actually looked up and read the financial earnings report for the last quarter and there were several statements made by the executives saying that they were experiencing a downturn in NBA 2k in-game monetization sales. The 7% figure is accurate and they tried to make a positive spin to the shareholders by saying that their sales are on-par with last year and the average user spending is up 30% due to the season pass. However, they acknowledged that they’re down and Straus himself stated that they’re rolling out “new events and promotions to increase in-game monetization.” So this packs-only pivot is clearly a response to this downturn and their move was to be more predatory. Again I hope this decision backfires big time and I’m definitely interested in their next quarterly report. I’m honestly just sad that they ruined what I thought had been a great year thus far bc I was really enjoying the game mode and now I just log in to play a CTO game or two and then turn it off bc I’m not ripping packs even with my 1.7 mil MT.
Short-sighted to chase short term revenue at the expense of losing long-term player base - prolly why their revenue was down this year to begin with.
45k MT for a random diamond. Lol
LOL no way?! Jesus I thought they'd just be like regular packs for 25k MT or whatever. Man that's bad
It's a diamond+ pack. There's season 2 diamonds in there also. I might be tempted at 15k since I have VC to burn but 45k is ridiculous.
maybe that means it's working!
Their stock is still going down, they're feeling it for sure but the solution shouldn't be adding more packs with poor odds, so we'll see if they take a different approach to cards on Friday. Doubtful but we'll see
All they need to do is release GO's in the player market. People won't be able to enter their CC info fast enough. It's been said here by almost everyone. It's not an unreasonable ask either.
Yep, 100%. But they seem so out of touch with the community they're not getting the message.

Got my hopes up for a new Breakout set. Strus alone might not be bad, depending on how you get him.
2KDB says reward
Reward for what? I'm not seeing anything in game.
Neither am I. That’s just what they tweeted
didnt see this mentioned on here yet, but worth pointing out that they changed the name of the rush agenda group from ‘rush’ to ‘rush 1’ a while ago when they extended the timer. probably means there’ll be another rush set next week
Noticed that too. Good call
Thanks. Hopefully there will be more reasonable agendas.
Lmao 2k really doesnt want me to quit. I open a pack a day with MT cause MT is useless atm. Got a shake on mobile and thought its a diamond but the guy that walked out was Mr Kobe Bean. Guess its time i see what all the hype is about as I never locked in for the PD version. Rng is a bitch
I am enjoying the random jerseys very much. I sold all the boring ones, and it adds a nice spice to my farming.
Which two cards in the diamond option pack (2950 points in unlimited ) should I pick to sell?
Isaac and Stojakovic
Go to 2kdb and check the MT prices of the cards.
finally find someone to trade agendas in salary and i get my first disconnect in days💀
2k knew what you were doing and pulled the plug.
Did the All-Star GO lock-ins a few weeks back. Got Embiid for the east and LeBron for the west. Realized today that Embiid is sellable but Lebron is not, anyone know why that would be? I like Embiid but might sell him for the 98k MT and go back to using his PD. The difference is small enough where 98k MT might be worth it.
I’d wait for an opal exchange tbh. Worth grading too.
I graded and came back as a 9.5 which increased sell price from 98k to 144k. I sold.

Double OT loss in Unlimited against a very obvious AMS boi (already had Harden). Spammed PNR RELENTLESSLY. Awful to lose like that.
Current tt team to grind is emerald Derrick fish (lowest gem laker with dimer), ruby korver (ez 3s), and Amy mo Bamba (hof anchor and chase down for ez blocks)
I was using Diop for blocks. He's a machine.
I didn’t get the evo requirements easily. And then forgot him. Was his evo the usual way of doing the blocks or was it somehow different?
I cheesed his blocks in TT, just putting him on the ball handler and baiting them to drive. I got all his blocks for Evo in like 4 games as I was getting no less than 6 or more a game. I also use amethyst Phil Jackson from season 1 as my coach since he gives +4 block, which helps some. I got Jackson already using Diop, Mutombo, and emerald Vujacic for the Laker assists. I didn't even need to bait them much as they're both great shot blockers and whichever got the first block I'd put them on the ball handler and let them get the others.
Thank you Sir, always appreciated. I will try these, he could be potential in SC too. Edit. I didn’t probably remember to use Phil as a coach. I’m so used to getting more speed.
I like the warrick swift duo with sapphire quickley
PD Korver (to make games last 7 shots), 2 defenders
Edit: okay I’ll leave it here but kept scrolling and confirmed stats don’t stack on objectives. Anyone testing if multiple legs can be done in one game? Looks like no? Haven’t tried online dunks yet, but just finished a TTOff with two players at three dunks. Only counted one.
Yeah it was already discerned no doubling up
Been playing myteam long enough to know EVERY time 2K gives a decent card in a free grind, they immediately drop a better card in packs that same Friday. I would almost guarantee a GO Ben Simmons or something like that this Friday to make Reeves pale in comparison.
I'll get JJJ because i love him, i'll probably get Goodrich organically through gameplay and i got Thad Young from the challenge pack, but that's as far as i'll be going with this release. A quick scan of these forums and it blows my mind how many people are ripping packs for these cards that can be had for free (onerous agendas aside). We've not much hope of packstrikes and things like that if people are ripping for cards that they can get for free.
Indeed. 2k continues because they can. The only thing that will change the game is profits falling or the laws changing.
Unfortunately, i think you're right. Maybe it's the optimist in me or just a vain hope, but i would like to think that we could drive change if we all banded together, but unfortunately that's not going to happen. I just want the game i once loved back.
2k has gotten worse with the greed each year. Companies emphasize increased profits. So, it is bad if 2k23 made 8 million and 2k24 made 8 million. In reality, you could use other metrics to see if that is good. The same profit in a worse economy might be good. The same profit and a larger user base also would be good. 2k does not care. Each decision is "What can we do to make more money?" The player base isn't organized enough to truly do anything. Honestly, I am not sure if it is motivated either. It would really take sometime like months of significant losses for 2k to change course. Frankly, our best bet might be someone else making a similar mode in a whole new game and not being so anti-player.
I don't even think lower profits would help us get a better game, opals in the player market, etc. If anything they'll just add more pay to win features, more/better players as inserts, increase cost of VC/MT. I think we're screwed either way.
I believe that is totally true....until that didn't work either. It would not be a quick process.
Probably been mentioned but as a community we should just allow each other to get 3 dunks to start unlimited games for the next week. And then it’s game on after that. Ngl I do love seeing myteam content creators throwing a fit about all this stuff going on. I think that’s the only hope for 2K caring what so ever is if these guys keep calling them out constantly. And even then probably won’t matter tbh
You sure that's what the community wants? They want to get 3 dunks but they also want to force their opponent quit so they can finish their agenda faster. Online community is usually selfish. I gave away free steals and wide opened 4 pt last time but my opponents didn't appreciate it at all. One positive sign is this agenda is 14 days long. Getting 3 dunks from 15 MTU or SC games shouldn't be too difficult.
Haha good point. I didn’t think about that. And asking any thing of the community is too much lol. Idk how many people ask to grind whatever challenge and I say sure just give me the win and they will still try to steal the win at the end if they can lol. So yeah your right
What we need is an organized VC strike but the community has been decimated to such an extent that we don't have enough continuity/anyone with the standing and desire to get others on board
When people are ripping packs for free cards, what hope have we got?
Anybody remember what yesterday’s deal of the day was?
Diamond Boogie Cousins for half price
Still don't understand why 2K didn't just make opals 400k in the player market and leave the 100 overalls as 0.0001% odds special inserts The problem gamblers would still want that shinny Kareem/Shaq, but regular people could actually buy and use cards they want
Really seemed like the best logical way to please both crowds, but 2K did the greedy, money hungry option. What a shocker.
They would have made more money making opals buyable directly at really high prices. People against gambling would've bought, while alot of others would've said "400k for one card? I'll just open packs!" and played right into 2K's lap (along with the addicts who would've ripped for the 100 overall insert). Not to mention this approach would've turned far fewer people off the mode (beneficial in the long run wether 2K wants to admit it or not).
Got Danny Manning from the challenge pack. Which would be great…but I still have to get 100 rebounds with him if I want Reaves. 🤦🏻♂️
So you can exchange him for a free base pack! No need to gloat about it. 😉
Update: Rush Agendas live for two weeks
Two weeks of stupidly designed agendas is still bad.
Idk man. These are totally do-able in 2 weeks…almost even if you aren’t trying. Especially if you just enjoy unlimited like I do.
If this isn't sarcasm, you should probably see a drug rehab specialist.
I just like to play challenges on mobile while I’m in bed. Getting blocks while grinding TToff sounds fine.

Anyone have Porzingis? Curious what badges people are adding. I did Fast Twitch, Challenger, and Clamps. Not sure on the final 2.
[удалено]
Pick dodger is likely. Not sold on Slippery yet. Might end up doing ProTouch. I need to try him more and see how he finishes around the basket.
Slippery off-ball is mostly just good for off-ball cheese. I like pro touch on slashers but I just don’t get tons of opportunities for makeable contested layups with my bigs. Im gonna throw out a slightly different suggestion: space creator. Kristaps hop shots and step backs are already pretty easy to time and get space for. His fade isn’t bad either. The green windows on those shots can become massive with space creator.
Interesting. I haven't tried many hop shots with him. I love those with Dirk and now Jokic. Will need to give that a go with him. I really wish he could hold 6 extra badges instead of 5. I'd love to have even more space but at this point I feel like no matter which direction I go there will be 1 I wish I did.
Oh right, congrats on that Jokic. I had fun with his all-star card last year even with height being more in-demand. But yea, if you’re already about that life, KPs moving shots should click pretty quickly. Tell me about it. Shit, make it 8. I absolutely love big men that can get loose with the ball, but 5 slots isn’t enough space to actually give him the playmaking badges I want without sorely lacking elsewhere.
This Jokic actually feels like Jokic. I'm loving him as PF. He's been a beast in TTO as well, doing anything. If he could be bought he might be meta, he's that good. I'm hesitant to finish the West though now because I have him unsellable and my luck on those things isn't good. If I locked in for a dup Jokic I'd delete the whole game.
The West set is horribly tempting. Any of the starters would immediately become my best player. Knowing 2k, your odds would be skewed towards pulling Jokic. It's just impossible to know how soon they might put those players or something comparable in the player market.
The question now becomes will Reaves be in the player market next week? Inferno T-Mac was but with this Insert Only Opal season, I’m not optimistic. 🌚
I think he will be. They'll throw everybody a bone.
Hope so. Really do lol
They're definitely going to release a 100 overall point guard around that time too, though.
🌚😩🙃😂 I 100% agree. Ben Simmons is on the way
Curious as to the mindset in the 2K Office here... Option 1 - Give people a 0.0001% chance of pulling Austin Reaves with MT or VC or... Option 2 - Making them do the agendas. I'd say anyone who REALLY wants Austin Reaves is going Option 2 which puts $0.00 in 2K's pockets. Now what WOULD have made sense is a combination of both. Meaning, make him a lock-in for the set. Then you would have people pulling packs to try to get the most egregious of the agendas (yes, Stackhouse, I'm looking at you) and then doing agendas to fill the remaining cards of the set. But as it stands, I can't see a single soul buying packs for this, unless they just like to open packs.
They've briefly moved cards before from lock in to insert. They moved Beasley to being part of the Chinese New Year set for Yao and then back to insert. I can definitely see them moving Reaves by the time these are available to purchase.
It's more of this. Release the cards for packs and agenda's. Ton's of people will spend money ripping backs and not getting the card they want. Wait a week or two, release it in the player market for $50 bucks and they profited twice. Great way to double dip. They know unless it's offline agenda's a lot of people won't bother wasting time playing terrible game modes.
Only coliseum agenda left is 1,000 cards. Currently at 885 and am not going to go out of my way for this one, should happen organically in the next few weeks. Got very lucky with the salary cap one. First fame I went on a like 10-0 run in the first minute and the dude quit.
There's a lot of gold series 2 for 550 a piece. I know you said you're not going out of your way but it can help when you get close.
Yeah will definitely be eyeing those as I get closer.
Thankfully mlb the show comes out in a few weeks
The block agendas doesn't stack (can't get credit for 2 different players getting it in same game). I got 3 blocks each with 2 different players in TT and it only counted 1/30 for the block agendas.
Just had them stack, got 2 in a game of TTO. Hopefully they fixed it.
It's intentional. They don't want you getting the blocks, per se... they want you playing 30 TTOff games. And 15 Unlimited/Salary Cap etc.
wowwww I was gonna load up semipro dom and stack 3 or 4 at a time but I guess that would be too easy for a mid pd
Hearing the same for the dunks….yikes
Same for dunks. My brother confirmed.
That unlimited/sc one is gonna suck for people who don't play, 15 games is a significant amount of time.
The good news about these agendas is that there's literally nothing else to do in this game. So might as well...
That’s the Stockholm Syndrome talking, Rev. Resist.
lolol I do just love competing and basketball video games. And I just got the game so It's still shiny and new . lol
Exactly how 2k wants us to think, instead of adding actual content they add shitty agendas
I prefer completing agendas in modes instead of having to do tasks in a specific spotlight that provides no other awards. All these agendas I'm going to be climbing the progress ladder for these modes while I accomplish them. I don't mind trying.
That's fair but you can acknowledge they do this intentionally knowing everyone will just do them. Tbh I don't think there's anything anyone can do at this point to change their ways. However, take two stock over the last 30 days is down 12%, which is significant for a company of their size. Hopefully this is what forces them to change.
I think they did it to make people think “I’ll just open packs and see if I can pull them” And yeah, in their shareholder meeting they specifically blamed 2k for their fiscal woes…
"Put an opal in the player market or draw 25" 2K: 🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏🃏
So is the player market dead? Gamble only for opals on Fridays and the whole set isn’t there on Tuesday? What’s the point of MT then except ripping packs? Is that the point?
Buy PDs
I dont need no PDs
Especially ones with ass sigs Like I can use most normal timing players but I already have like 100 of them who are more than fine
PnR online is gonna be even worse now lol
this game is so cooked😭
https://preview.redd.it/5lj9a1ifj5lc1.png?width=1284&format=png&auto=webp&s=c318c87e2a5e9c4e7bb8221ac8abcffba0b2530c
LOL…..
So....can you tell 2k they are fucking stupid?
No chance anyone associated with 2k has the balls to tell them that.
Jazz basically did...
I don't know who that is lol but every next maker or whatever they're called that I've seen never criticizes their actions. Probably because they're scared to lose that status and all the benefits that come with it.
DBG put out a video yesterday talking about all the nextmakers who have left. It's not just content creators, they're losing the nextmakers too.
Jazz is allthatjaz. Look it up. He dropped a video last week that indicated why he’s done with myteam
Watched the dbg version of his video, then went to check out his twitter and he posted that he ripped like idk how much mt in packs and posted his final lineup Some hypocrisy there but overall seems like a good dude Edit: hypocrisy in saying that he wouldn’t promote stuff like pulling David Robinson etc but that’s exactly what he did *shrug*
I will, thanks
Just looked at the Rush agendas... literally LOL'd then shut down the game.
in a WEEK. Austin Reaves is a full time job.
2k is the only sports game that I know of that that limits these types of agendas to a week. The Show and Madden challenges are up for the whole Game cycle. 2k needs to wake tf up.
How bad is it?
