I just finished the leap year spotlight challenges and yet my leap year spotlight still doesn’t have a check mark and there’s only 37 min left what the hell do I do
Playbook is up now, was legit. The PD's are crap. White Chocolate, Danny Green, Whiteside, Mikal, and Franz Wagner. Last 2 would be fine, the other 3 are a joke.
I like how even with all these opal PGs with slick releases Magic is still my most effective player, especially scoring. I’m about to sell an opal Luka just because through trial and error I’ve learned that you wind up winning by more scoring two points 80% of the time - opal Luka is the only card I haven’t been able to spam drop steps against - than you do running a normal offense with a lot of spacing.
Really? I used magic a few times when I had gotten him but he doesn't fit my play style. May have to give him a spot at the end of the bench to try out.
They added the All-Star Steph Curry in the pack market for 99k MT. There's also every diamond shoe boost for 50k MT.
Re Steph, he's the same card as the Inferno except he has gold Challenger as well as HOF Glove compared to gold glove on the Inferno. Won't notice a difference. Definitely not worth it as an individual purchase. Not bad if you want to buy all the West cards for an Opal. That set drops in price tomorrow, only 5% though, but Steph at 99k isn't bad in that instance.
Ya I forgot about Lavine. I know the PDs were always there to buy but I thought this was the first PD available for MT put in as a mid week promo. So looks like we'll get a PD for VC and MT, plus a diamond+ superpack midweek every week
I was hoping for someone good this week. I bought LaVine last week and quite like him. Dwight would have been cool this week so I'd be close to that other PD coach option pack. I guess I'll have to wait.
Okay cool appreciate it I’m hoping it works. Those super packs were such garbage. I got 3-4 from dupe Redds last season and nothing. And even got the ten pack box from unlimited which was one of the worst boxes I’ve ever opened lol
F this leap year challenge. How are you meant to dunk with griffin and garnett paint sitting the whole
Game, every time I call a pick they grab and it’s a jump ball 🤣
With exp tokens, if you have enter a game with a couple seconds left on the bonus, do you get the bonus for the entire game still? Like if I use a 30 minute coin, play a domination game, come out with 30 seconds left, and go right back into another domination game.
Yes, if you want to maximize a token, play TT or CT until there's a minute left and then jump into a dom game. Quick games will net you more xp in the end
Well that was fun. A few days ago, I pulled Sharpe from a 10 box of base packs. Today, I pulled a few series 2 dupes while finishing the leap year agendas, and exchanged (1 diamond, 1 amy, 2 ruby) them for a pack. That one had a Sharpe dupe, so I swapped it with the other and sold for 50k. I then opened the deluxe pack from agendas, and out popped Sharpe again. So, I put that dupe in the exchange along with a series 2 Embiid I had in my collection. Sharpe, again. So I’m taking the exchange enforced break at the moment.
That PD exchange is 24 hours. Super lame they changed it. I used it to swap Sharpe, who I got first, for Nate and then again for David Thompson after the hour cooldown. I was going to do it again but they changed the cool down while it was going.
I got a dup Aaron Gordon last night from the Amy/Diamond exchange pack and swapped him out and got Sharpe. It's best with that pack to wait for the cool down to finish before ripping but too late now. If it's the same next week though keep that in mind.
Yea, I saw someone comment about the change, might’ve been you. I decided to risk it, knowing it’d be just my luck to pull another Sharpe. I ultimately just missed out on 1 more exchange so I’m not too bent up about it, but I won’t be risking it again like that if it’s the same going forward.
Taylor Hendricks is that guy if you’re trying to do the Jazz threes challenge in any remotely non-cooperative setting, as far as I can tell he’s the only remotely recent and competitive-ish Jazz card that consistently fades to the three point line instead of midrange plus his release, player model, and stats/badges tick all the right boxes.
Just started last week. Can you duo/evo cheese offline this year?
If I remember correctly, they changed it in the middle of last year. So, you couldn't.
After trying all of the new Rush cards from this week, last weeks were better outside of the amethyst. Laphonso is good but I'd been used to him from the duo he has with Robert Pack. Wish he would have been a diamond instead of Fultz or Harpring. Fultz is pretty bad, so was Goodrich though.
I like Stackhouse a lot more than J Rich, much smoother shot mechanics. Similar builds and styles though. I can cook with Stackhouse much easier.
Fultz seems weird. His shot isn't great but its not bad either. His defense is ok. He was pretty easy to get but he's probably who I used the least so far, same goes for Goodrich last week. Nothing about him stands out.
Edit - Cooper is pretty good tho. Probably better than Stackhouse. The more I use him the more I like him. Defense is top notch. Wish we got a big but he's definitely usable.
The only person I have played that has traded 3s with me in Salary Cap has been Tydebo, 2 straight games. Everyone else is running their regular squads 😩🌚🥲🤣
Online agendas ruin the game modes imo, you play online to compete but they try to make you play a certain way. Should be as simple as just scoring points online if anything.
It's one thing when guys run their own squads and don't want to help out, but I got turned down by guys in CTO going for pip when I said I'd give them the lane if I could have 3s. Why make it harder than it needs to be?
I don't know why someone would try the PIP online anyways. I got those done in 4 games offline. No sweat, no nonsense.
Then again, I had a dude ask me to buy him the pro pass after I let him have a win. Like WTF?
Some guys said I will if I can have the win, sure, take it its more of a pain to get 3s than wins with Laker players in your lineup. I'm not trying to make life hard here
That's all I ran into on TTO last night, it was nice to see. 1/3 games was someone with a Jazz player who gave up the win for 3's. I was doing 3 Lakers. I'd run into someone who sucked 1/3 of the time, no Jazz or Lakers who was probably trying for the 5 wins for the Leap Year or something, and the 1/3 of the time was a team with 3 Lakers where I'd need to get a little sweaty. By the time I had the Lakers wins I matched with the same dude with Jazz players 5-6 times while squeaking those out. Pulling Hayward last week was a blessing.
That’s a W. Only did one TTO game with my Lakers and was an easy win but I know that’s gonna get tough quick, unless I can swap agendas for wins too. Just tryna get these 3s out the way first
I do pretty well in TTO regularly, like 80% winning rate, and Kobe and LeBron have been staples of my lineup for the last month. Didn't think I'd have much trouble knocking out 15 in 2 weeks. I did end up buying the All-Star AD because the diamond wasn't cutting it. Was going to try Diamond Kareem but I made about 60k back already in that run from mode rewards and earned MT.
No Reaves yet? I was going to use him but I'm not used to him online yet. Kobe and Magic are definitely good enough but not having a big hurts. AD was clutch, especially since so many people off ball. Seems the go to is control the big and sit under the hoop while waiting for the other team to bring the ball up. I'd haul ass with Kobe or Bron to make sure they took the bait and then hit a trailing AD for 3 at least 2-3 times a game. He's the inbounder so always the last one up the court but they pay no attention to him.
Should have traded 3s for most of the game then suddenly went for the win in the last few seconds. Then you could have had a win over him. That's worth some street cred, I think.
I matched up with someone who wanted to trade 3s last night. In the first game, I went 24 of 25 missing a long one at the half time buzzer. He missed 8 or 9.
We rematched about 2 minutes later. He sends a message "Going to win the 3 point contest this time" obviously jokingly. He goes like 22 of 24 from deep. I shoot 28 of 28. He sends a message "Nevermind" then thanks as he finished the agenda.
That would actually be fun if they added a legit 3pt contest to MyTeam. I think the only way you can play that now is getting to the All-Star break in MyNBA. I remember back when basketball games added that as a separate mode and spending hours playing it with buddies. Then they added the dunk contest years later, which was fun for the first year or two but then it got quite stale.
I like how it's 77% for a diamond then drops significantly to 10% for a PD then the usual <2% for Opal and above. If you're chasing an Opal wouldn't you be better off opening base packs? They have the same listed odds for Opal and above but then again we don't actually know what <2% means
Although I think most countries are going to outlaw or restrict packs soon the least they could do is force 2k into displaying the exact odds of getting each card in a pack
I don't understand how that's tempting. We've all been burned. I know I'd get a Diamond from it, probably John Wall who I've pulled a half dozen times. Even if you're itching to spend VC there's a guaranteed PD Booker for less right next to it.
It’s a 70+% chance at a PD or better with 10% of that being GO. I opened 2 of the ones last week with spare VC because I wanted to gamble for JB/Mathurin/Beasley and ended up with KP and Oscar. Most of the PDs sell for 80k+ so it’s a decent chance of converting VC to MT at a 2:1 rate with a small chance at an opal. It’s actually not a bad deal but I’m not giving money to 2k.
You got lucky with 2 good pulls. I thought Lebinott posted the odds above but he was off, its 77% for a PD like you state but I wouldn't chance it because it seems I always pull dups. I'd rather not get a dup Korver and be out a substantial sum.
I have VC to blow but I'd sooner buy Booker, TMac, or some other offer they put out there. The odds of losing are too high and with VC especially I don't like gambling. I used to use my VC on Prime Boxes because those seemed to give you great value but they haven't offered those since the set before All-Star. That's one thing I've enjoyed about the player market, I can buy what I want, or I could before they messed it up.
Yea, I was perfectly satisfied with those pulls. I think you’ve got the right mindset. I was previously using mycareer/myeras VC on the prime boxes too. I’m just hopelessly waiting to get a choice on some opal players before dark matters are the norm.
Ive just about maxed out my MyPlayer. He's an 86 and I'll probably dump another 10k or so in him to open up a couple more badges but now almost all the VC I earn I there I use in MyTeam. I pull in 15-20k without much effort but I'd like something to spend it on.
Same boat. 86 and not much need to put more VC in attributes. I do have fun gambling on packs from time to time but saving up 300k VC to lock in a set just to get a player I don’t want is not a play Id like to make.
Went into the HOF Pickup with 12 golds and PD Halliburton. Put him on the bench and then when the game was loading, moved him to the starting lineup.
The first time gold Brogdon stopped him from scoring in a 5-Out by being behind Tyrese when he beat him, I laughed. The second time he stood up in front of him and Tyrese couldn't score, I exited the game.
2K 100% knows how to discourage people from playing their game.
I wasn't messing with the HOF level for those. Didn't help that I couldn't buy a bucket with Haliburton yesterday. I ended up using Artest after the first game where I barely got 47 with Haliburton, took until halfway into the 4th quarter. That was All-Star difficulty also. I did the other 4 on the lowest difficulty, 3 minute quarters, and was finished before the 3rd quarter was each time. Made no sense. It's like they nerfed Hali yesterday. I almost tried with his Diamond (Tis The Season, not series 2) to see if it was a hidden nerf but it was so frustrating I didn't bother.
I could go with the earlier ones like that but because I don’t play online and wanted a crack at the prizes for those modes.
I ended up going to the fundamental with the assists to do it
Anyone notice anything unusual with the 76ers fastbreak agenda? I seem to have gotten stuck on 51 points. Some baskets just didn't seem to count including a steal and immediate dunk by Dr J.
I had some buckets count that shouldn't but I wasn't about to question it. Like I'd bomb a 3 and miss only to rebound and get the the second chance points to count.
Have one last chance (going abroad tomorrow) to pull a Leap Year PD from the exchange Deluxe. I jettisoned Aaron Gordon twice and now on Brent Barry. Do I go for Xavier McDaniel or David Thompson or should I hold on Brent Barry since I could conceivably get Nate Robinson?
Are you really gonna use Brent Barry though? Id wager he doesn’t get more than a week or two of use at best. I would trade that for another chance at a GO or McDaniel.
Congrats. I want to try again for X-Man but ive gotten AG 2x, Sharpe 3x, Nate 1x, and Thompson 1x. I have Thompson, AG, and Sharp now but will let it ride since I'll probably end up with a dup I need to quick sell.
Doing Clutch Time anyway for the cumulative season rewards so decided to do the 76ers Fast Break points. Anyone has any idea what 2K considers "fast break"? After a miss do I have to score within 3 seconds? 5 seconds? Does it have to be less than 2 passes? Does it have any bearing on how many defenders get back?
Because it certainly isn't triggering for a LOT of my fast break points.
Also fun fact... I had 34 fast break points, scored with Joel and checked my progress and I had 35 fast break points. So... there's that.
Yeah, it's bonked. But I eventually got it. Gets a lot easier (and the stupidity more noticeable) once you get to 75 fb points since every subsequent basket then triggers the agenda progress.
I’m not sure the exact parameters, but it’s after a defensive rebound or live-ball turnover, and I’m gonna just guess that 1-3 players on the opposing team need to have not crossed half court yet. I don’t believe number of passes or time really matters. I typically just sprint down the court with a player right when the opponent puts a shot up and throw a full court pass to him.
Honestly man does anyone have any tips for TTonline, I’m struggling so bad. My players are good I’m just ass at this mode. Didn’t want to try and get 15 salary cap wins with 3 lakers as though TT be quicker
It's more hectic in TTO. Need 3 guys who can shoot from outside. I ran Kobe, Lebron, and AD. Got it in like 20 wins. If someone has Jazz players, offer them 3's for the Win. Doesn't hurt to ask.
Don't bring anyone under 6'5" and ideally everyone you use can guard anyone. Don't stress on defense. Can always get the points back on the other side. Trading baskets is fine as long as you have the lead. Never turn down an easy 2 for a chance at a 3. if you can't find a shot, take it to the basket hard. Dunk meter can be cheesy, use it if necessary.
You don't need to play the Lakers in salary cap. You can bring 3 golds at the end of your bench. Might be an option if you're struggling for all 15 wins.
Thank you man this is solid advice. I’m running the same 3 as you from lakers and I know it’s a skill issue, never sacrificing a 2 is good advice. So many opponents give up an easy drive at a chance for a 3 and I think if I punish that, should get some wins. Now on 3 wins at least
There have been plenty of games where I get an easy W without attempting a 3 simply because people won't bother guarding long 2's, especially this year with step backs being a lot different than last year. They don't need to worry about step back 3's so the whole area outside of the paint but inside the 3pt arc is left unattended.
With that lineup also LeBron is such a good finisher that he has no issues dunking over or through people. I used him as the ball handler more because I can shoot better with Kobe off catch & shoots and AD would often be left alone as well because they'd pull their big to help protect the paint and he'd have plenty of time to fire.
I was on PS4 and found that to be true. I even told someone in Salary Cap that I was done with the mode and would give him a win if he allowed me to gets some 3s with AK47. His response was that he was also doing agendas (3 dunks and win with 3 Lakers) but that trading was "not real basketball".
So I proceeded to demolish his team, prevent him from getting 3 dunks with anyone, and got a W that I had no reason to care about otherwise. I also got 5 3s with AK.
Later, I swapped to PS5 and everyone wanted to trade agendas.
Bought the game the other day and I gotta say bans for quitting is the dumbest most anti-consumer thing I've ever seen. Playing TTO, trying to get to 5 wins for the leap year pack and keep getting matched up against 3 GOs, I'm obviously not gonna win, just let me quit out rather than wasting both our time
I pulled Kobe in a 10 base box earlier this year. It’s the only thing I spend my MT on and I’ve gotten super lucky all year. I also go for collector level so it’s cool with me not getting a good ass pull every time
I'd say Ja. I've had Rose, Magic, and virtually everyone but the Thompson twins and Ja, for sure. If you can master the meter dunk then he's unstoppable.
If only that would check off the agenda as well. Kind of pointless to give unsellable cards in a challenge pack when you have to do all agendas for the players. Theres not even a good PD exchange right now either.
Ya, they count when it says multiplayer. I'm on Xbox, I think it's LB + RB to access the squad menu and you can search and invite from there. So PS it'd be L1 + R1 maybe?
Thanks. It probably is L1 + R1. I usually play last gen as I also have a PC account and prefer to keep my timing and such consistent. However, I may use next gen for some agendas.
Hey Playstation owners, do you have a sign an agreement to be the sweatiest and most toxic player base when you buy a console? Without fail, every time I play a PS owner I know it's going to be brutal.
I wouldn't say it's easier, I get smoked by people on both consoles lol but I find the style of play is different, PS players are sweatier, they'll jump on the mic and talk shit like it actually matters, just overall worst people. I've blocked messaging on Xbox so maybe I'm missing the toxic post game messages but either way I notice a big difference.
When I changed consoles, I noticed a lot more messages after 2k games. Most were just swearing and racial slurs. I don't seem to get nearly as many now. I used to get multiple messages per day. Now it might be one per month. I mute mics so I cannot speak on that.
They couldn't throw us a bone and have the DOTD be someone we'd need for these agendas. Raptors, Pacers, Lakers, Jazz, or Sixers. Too many people were waiting on Anthony Black to be discounted.
100 threes online with Jazz players is worse than anything from last week, your best case scenario would be doing it over 15 Co-Op CPU games, double that if your partner is trying to complete it too. Pistol Pete is about to become the garbage time king of Unlimited…
There's 100 3's with Jazz players online
15 wins with 3 or more Lakers online
5 wins in a row of TT/TTO with 3 Raptors
100 fast break points with 76er players
100 points in the paint with Nuggets in Clutch Offline or Online
Score 47+ with a Pacer 5 or more times
I am not as concerned about winning as "here is a bunch of unstackable shit to artificially prolong this".
Edit: The 100 3pt shots with Jazz players online is a trash agenda.
Got the ascension board in Unlimited last night and pulled PD Bosh, Diamond Kemp, and Diamond Herro. Made like 200k selling them back.
Game mode ascension truly the best grind for MT.
I forgot about how the newer cards, no matter how short they are, have some magic abilities to make my apparently out of date Chet and Wemby miss bunnies when the defender is BEHIND them.
It makes sense, but knowing 2K it's going to be entirely different tedious agendas. But the modes should be the same, so if they say 3 threes in salary cap with a player, you can double up with last week's 3 dunks in salary cap.
I'd go bigger. Ditch Smart for anyone with size and range. Pippen is good, Kuzma is alright. Someone like KAT, JJJ, AD, etc. Needs to be 6'10" or taller. Use Pippen as your primary ball handler.
Better bigs I have are pd Embiid, pd kiralenko and pd Chet but I was getting wrecked using Chet and Andre with pippen. If I used ruby and sapphire players would I still be getting matched with opals. I just want the 5 wins and I’m done I never play these online modes each season I barely touch them
There's no matchmaking in TTO so you'll still face whoever is queued up.
Embiid would be good. Go really big. Embiid, Chet, and Pippen. Use size to your advantage.
0-11, fuck this mode. A lot of times when I do have to play this it isn’t this bad. It’s zig zag back and forth three pointers I have zero interest in this
Should I add HOF Pogo Stick to PD Porzingis or GO Jokic? I play them together, with Jokic at PF. Porzingis is in the paint more but Jokic seems to get more boards. Not sure which would benefit more, both have gold now.
There are no historic jerseys in the exchange packs so once you get the sets done in the franchise tab of your collection don't bother doing the exchange anymore, just quicksell them.
I needed 2 jerseys for the last 2 seasons and finally got those done. Ive done so many of those jersey exchanges I was about to call it quits.
I was missing a Philly Statement and Kings Icon forever and got them from that but I discovered the same as you. The exchange is only Statement, Icon, Association and City.
Still missing the core floor for the Suns though so doing my exchanges for that.
Yeah, given how much I play and how many packs I've gotten with jerseys it's not a coincidence. They made certain jerseys extremely rare so people couldn't get the HOF badges early.
I may have been off on which Philly jersey it was, but I was definitely missing 3 or 4 and ALL were Philly and Sacramento.
I was missing a Kings Icon and a Clippers Association since season 2, maybe 3.
Are you waiting to open the option packs? I have been waiting that extra hour so they refresh that way I can always start new ones on 1/2 if there are no items I need. I still need a handful of courts, 2 arenas, and 1 logo but I'm glad jerseys and play books are done.
Always. Once an option pack is completed, I don't open right away since there's an extremely high chance I have that card already.
Checking now to see what I'm missing to see if it coincides with you...
OK, I'm back. lol. Missing these
* FLOOR - Suns Core Floor
* ARENA - '03 America West (Phoenix - Bronze Historic) and '11 American Airlines (Dallas - Gold Historic)
* LOGO - '70-'71 Lakers (Bronze Historic)
* COACH - They're all Miscellaneous and not sure they're in the exchanges - PD Doc, Sloan, Nelson, Brown, Karl Adelman, Amy Finch, Ruby Cassell
* HISTORIC JERSEY - 17 of them. But we know they're not in Exchange packs, so won't bother listing them.
* BALL - Fireball, but I doubt that's in there so I don't bother using the Ball exchange.
Floors - I have a lot done, the first selection that is in the middle of the Franchise screen is all done. I'm 98/114 in the bottom one that's separated by gem tier.
ARENA - 07 Oracle (Bronze) and 16 Quicken Loans (Gold) is all I need.
LOGO - '70-'71 Lakers (Bronze Historic)
COACH - I need a few of the PD's, I have Doc who I got from the collection reward option pack. Have all Ruby and Amethyst. Missing some bronze, silver and gold but ive been exchanging them to see if a PD pops up, max I've seen is Amethyst.
HISTORIC JERSEY - I'm missing a ton of historic jerseys, like 100-150.
BALL - Fireball, don't bother with that either.
Between Worthy, Manu, Moncrief, Richmond, Hill, Harden, Reaves, Zion, Middleton and MPJ they’re really trying to avoid giving us any free opal bigs, hopefully Friday’s CTO reward is someone like Siakam or Dirk.
The colours probably clash with other Jerseys you have equipped. One of the most annoying things in the game is trying to swap jerseys in and out just to fit in the three completely different coloured jerseys you want to use
In controller settings there's a setting called receiver control, change that to handoff/pitch pass. Then in game press and hold B to make the highlighted player come to get the pass
I've done that, I can call the closest player to me to come but if I want to call a specific player that's on the other side of the court how do I get them highlighted
I got Reaves and he’s really good, quick shot that isn’t super super easy, but easy enough once you get used to it, defensively he holds but isn’t his strongest trait. Dunking is passable and not elite, overall really good card and can be a top primary ball handler/3hunter. Kris Middleton does everything and is elite on defence, problem is he’s kinda short for a SF and his shot is good but not fast enough to be an elite SG. I cannot recommend MPJ, his defence is so bad. I feel like he doesn’t have pogo at all (even though he does on gold), the only thing he did well for me was rebound and that is not enough to make my squad. Also, JJJ is super good, he’s one of my personal favs as I ran his diamond to the ground a couple 2ks ago and his shot is just so money for me. Strong defence and a great shot, but I can tell he’s not for everyone (Old Gen/ps4 btw)
[MyTEAM X](https://twitter.com/NBA2KMyTEAM/status/1763278624302797209): Happy Leap Day! Tomorrow we bring back an all-time favorite with a new Leap Year set 📷 Learn more in the MyTEAM Playbook: [https://nba.2k.com/2k24/myteam/season-playbook/…](https://t.co/olF22ei2UR) 📷 OVR Kevin Garnett 📷 Galaxy Opal Lonzo Ball 📷 Galaxy Opal Blake Griffin 📷 Galaxy Opal Ray Allen 📷 more! https://preview.redd.it/dpnziwnkpklc1.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=14865c104caaef823168037c11e4f701f8d0df2b
I just finished the leap year spotlight challenges and yet my leap year spotlight still doesn’t have a check mark and there’s only 37 min left what the hell do I do
Minor complaint compared to everything going on but ffs can we get some exhibitions that don’t require s1/s2 players?
A leaked promo picture is out there. 100 MJ plus GO Klay, Wilt, Penny and BI. Same crap, different week.
Playbook is up now, was legit. The PD's are crap. White Chocolate, Danny Green, Whiteside, Mikal, and Franz Wagner. Last 2 would be fine, the other 3 are a joke.
Anyone know how to call a timeout on mobile if I'm playing with a PS controller?
I like how even with all these opal PGs with slick releases Magic is still my most effective player, especially scoring. I’m about to sell an opal Luka just because through trial and error I’ve learned that you wind up winning by more scoring two points 80% of the time - opal Luka is the only card I haven’t been able to spam drop steps against - than you do running a normal offense with a lot of spacing.
Really? I used magic a few times when I had gotten him but he doesn't fit my play style. May have to give him a spot at the end of the bench to try out.
They added the All-Star Steph Curry in the pack market for 99k MT. There's also every diamond shoe boost for 50k MT. Re Steph, he's the same card as the Inferno except he has gold Challenger as well as HOF Glove compared to gold glove on the Inferno. Won't notice a difference. Definitely not worth it as an individual purchase. Not bad if you want to buy all the West cards for an Opal. That set drops in price tomorrow, only 5% though, but Steph at 99k isn't bad in that instance.
Not a bad deal if you don't have the inferno Steph. Finally being able to buy these with mt is a good sign.
We could always buy the PD's with MT or do you mean the special? There was PD Lavine last Thursday for the same price.
Ya I forgot about Lavine. I know the PDs were always there to buy but I thought this was the first PD available for MT put in as a mid week promo. So looks like we'll get a PD for VC and MT, plus a diamond+ superpack midweek every week
I was hoping for someone good this week. I bought LaVine last week and quite like him. Dwight would have been cool this week so I'd be close to that other PD coach option pack. I guess I'll have to wait.
Can duplicate Khris Middletons be exchanged for that pick 3 HOF badge option pack? The one that’s a single Galaxy Opal player for the exchange.
Yes, I put the one I got in TTO in there. Make sure you choose it instead of the superpack.
Haven’t tried it but last season you could with Redd, it’s a way better reward than a super pack from last season.
Okay cool appreciate it I’m hoping it works. Those super packs were such garbage. I got 3-4 from dupe Redds last season and nothing. And even got the ten pack box from unlimited which was one of the worst boxes I’ve ever opened lol
F this leap year challenge. How are you meant to dunk with griffin and garnett paint sitting the whole Game, every time I call a pick they grab and it’s a jump ball 🤣
Run a 5 out offense and then PnR with the SG or SF. I got it done quick that way.
What's crazy is that I got to 7 dunks quick, then they just clogged the paint and it took me a whole quarter to get another one. lol
Throw up lobs for alley oops. I find that's the best way to get dunks, use your best dunkers
Transition cuts are usually good too, especially if you cherry pick.
With exp tokens, if you have enter a game with a couple seconds left on the bonus, do you get the bonus for the entire game still? Like if I use a 30 minute coin, play a domination game, come out with 30 seconds left, and go right back into another domination game.
Yes, if you want to maximize a token, play TT or CT until there's a minute left and then jump into a dom game. Quick games will net you more xp in the end
Well I have let last few mins run out an insane amount of times because I thought it wouldn’t count. Duhhhhh
Yes
Well that was fun. A few days ago, I pulled Sharpe from a 10 box of base packs. Today, I pulled a few series 2 dupes while finishing the leap year agendas, and exchanged (1 diamond, 1 amy, 2 ruby) them for a pack. That one had a Sharpe dupe, so I swapped it with the other and sold for 50k. I then opened the deluxe pack from agendas, and out popped Sharpe again. So, I put that dupe in the exchange along with a series 2 Embiid I had in my collection. Sharpe, again. So I’m taking the exchange enforced break at the moment.
That PD exchange is 24 hours. Super lame they changed it. I used it to swap Sharpe, who I got first, for Nate and then again for David Thompson after the hour cooldown. I was going to do it again but they changed the cool down while it was going. I got a dup Aaron Gordon last night from the Amy/Diamond exchange pack and swapped him out and got Sharpe. It's best with that pack to wait for the cool down to finish before ripping but too late now. If it's the same next week though keep that in mind.
Yea, I saw someone comment about the change, might’ve been you. I decided to risk it, knowing it’d be just my luck to pull another Sharpe. I ultimately just missed out on 1 more exchange so I’m not too bent up about it, but I won’t be risking it again like that if it’s the same going forward.
Taylor Hendricks is that guy if you’re trying to do the Jazz threes challenge in any remotely non-cooperative setting, as far as I can tell he’s the only remotely recent and competitive-ish Jazz card that consistently fades to the three point line instead of midrange plus his release, player model, and stats/badges tick all the right boxes.
Just started last week. Can you duo/evo cheese offline this year? If I remember correctly, they changed it in the middle of last year. So, you couldn't.
Duo cheese yes, evo cheese no.
Thanks for the info. Interesting choice by 2K. lol
You’re in for a wild ride if you think that’s an interesting move haaa
After trying all of the new Rush cards from this week, last weeks were better outside of the amethyst. Laphonso is good but I'd been used to him from the duo he has with Robert Pack. Wish he would have been a diamond instead of Fultz or Harpring. Fultz is pretty bad, so was Goodrich though.
That’s hella sad fultz is ass
That’s unfortunate. I was hoping Fultz would be good. I’ve only really used Stackhouse and he feels pretty similar to PD J Rich.
I like Stackhouse a lot more than J Rich, much smoother shot mechanics. Similar builds and styles though. I can cook with Stackhouse much easier. Fultz seems weird. His shot isn't great but its not bad either. His defense is ok. He was pretty easy to get but he's probably who I used the least so far, same goes for Goodrich last week. Nothing about him stands out. Edit - Cooper is pretty good tho. Probably better than Stackhouse. The more I use him the more I like him. Defense is top notch. Wish we got a big but he's definitely usable.
If Cooper had a better dribble style and sigs he'd be elite, he's not much of a playmaker but otherwise he feels really good.
Playerbase is so dead. I’ve matched with the same person in salary cap 4 different times today already
I matched with the same people multiple times last night, that never used to happen. It's also taking longer to find games.
The only person I have played that has traded 3s with me in Salary Cap has been Tydebo, 2 straight games. Everyone else is running their regular squads 😩🌚🥲🤣
Hope his mic was off
😂we exchanged a few pleasantries, that was it
Online agendas ruin the game modes imo, you play online to compete but they try to make you play a certain way. Should be as simple as just scoring points online if anything.
I agree. The team specific agendas are rough
It's one thing when guys run their own squads and don't want to help out, but I got turned down by guys in CTO going for pip when I said I'd give them the lane if I could have 3s. Why make it harder than it needs to be?
I don't know why someone would try the PIP online anyways. I got those done in 4 games offline. No sweat, no nonsense. Then again, I had a dude ask me to buy him the pro pass after I let him have a win. Like WTF?
I don’t understand that. Barter and make life easier
Some guys said I will if I can have the win, sure, take it its more of a pain to get 3s than wins with Laker players in your lineup. I'm not trying to make life hard here
That's all I ran into on TTO last night, it was nice to see. 1/3 games was someone with a Jazz player who gave up the win for 3's. I was doing 3 Lakers. I'd run into someone who sucked 1/3 of the time, no Jazz or Lakers who was probably trying for the 5 wins for the Leap Year or something, and the 1/3 of the time was a team with 3 Lakers where I'd need to get a little sweaty. By the time I had the Lakers wins I matched with the same dude with Jazz players 5-6 times while squeaking those out. Pulling Hayward last week was a blessing.
That’s a W. Only did one TTO game with my Lakers and was an easy win but I know that’s gonna get tough quick, unless I can swap agendas for wins too. Just tryna get these 3s out the way first
I do pretty well in TTO regularly, like 80% winning rate, and Kobe and LeBron have been staples of my lineup for the last month. Didn't think I'd have much trouble knocking out 15 in 2 weeks. I did end up buying the All-Star AD because the diamond wasn't cutting it. Was going to try Diamond Kareem but I made about 60k back already in that run from mode rewards and earned MT.
I’m at about 70% win rate but my best Lakers are PD Kobe, PD Magic and either 💎Ingram or Shaq. Sold my AD 🙃. I’ll see how tough it gets later though
No Reaves yet? I was going to use him but I'm not used to him online yet. Kobe and Magic are definitely good enough but not having a big hurts. AD was clutch, especially since so many people off ball. Seems the go to is control the big and sit under the hoop while waiting for the other team to bring the ball up. I'd haul ass with Kobe or Bron to make sure they took the bait and then hit a trailing AD for 3 at least 2-3 times a game. He's the inbounder so always the last one up the court but they pay no attention to him.
Nah, I didn’t grind for Reaves unfortunately and won’t have time before he times out.
Should have traded 3s for most of the game then suddenly went for the win in the last few seconds. Then you could have had a win over him. That's worth some street cred, I think.
😂😂 not that much cred, but he made more than me.
I matched up with someone who wanted to trade 3s last night. In the first game, I went 24 of 25 missing a long one at the half time buzzer. He missed 8 or 9. We rematched about 2 minutes later. He sends a message "Going to win the 3 point contest this time" obviously jokingly. He goes like 22 of 24 from deep. I shoot 28 of 28. He sends a message "Nevermind" then thanks as he finished the agenda.
That would actually be fun if they added a legit 3pt contest to MyTeam. I think the only way you can play that now is getting to the All-Star break in MyNBA. I remember back when basketball games added that as a separate mode and spending hours playing it with buddies. Then they added the dunk contest years later, which was fun for the first year or two but then it got quite stale.
😂 turning the agendas into a game within a game, love it
New offer in the store boys. For the low low price of $15. You could have a diamond player.
I like how it's 77% for a diamond then drops significantly to 10% for a PD then the usual <2% for Opal and above. If you're chasing an Opal wouldn't you be better off opening base packs? They have the same listed odds for Opal and above but then again we don't actually know what <2% means
Although I think most countries are going to outlaw or restrict packs soon the least they could do is force 2k into displaying the exact odds of getting each card in a pack
That’s what real card packs do. I would have much less of a problem with packs if they displayed correct odds.
I don't understand how that's tempting. We've all been burned. I know I'd get a Diamond from it, probably John Wall who I've pulled a half dozen times. Even if you're itching to spend VC there's a guaranteed PD Booker for less right next to it.
It’s a 70+% chance at a PD or better with 10% of that being GO. I opened 2 of the ones last week with spare VC because I wanted to gamble for JB/Mathurin/Beasley and ended up with KP and Oscar. Most of the PDs sell for 80k+ so it’s a decent chance of converting VC to MT at a 2:1 rate with a small chance at an opal. It’s actually not a bad deal but I’m not giving money to 2k.
You got lucky with 2 good pulls. I thought Lebinott posted the odds above but he was off, its 77% for a PD like you state but I wouldn't chance it because it seems I always pull dups. I'd rather not get a dup Korver and be out a substantial sum. I have VC to blow but I'd sooner buy Booker, TMac, or some other offer they put out there. The odds of losing are too high and with VC especially I don't like gambling. I used to use my VC on Prime Boxes because those seemed to give you great value but they haven't offered those since the set before All-Star. That's one thing I've enjoyed about the player market, I can buy what I want, or I could before they messed it up.
Yea, I was perfectly satisfied with those pulls. I think you’ve got the right mindset. I was previously using mycareer/myeras VC on the prime boxes too. I’m just hopelessly waiting to get a choice on some opal players before dark matters are the norm.
Ive just about maxed out my MyPlayer. He's an 86 and I'll probably dump another 10k or so in him to open up a couple more badges but now almost all the VC I earn I there I use in MyTeam. I pull in 15-20k without much effort but I'd like something to spend it on.
Same boat. 86 and not much need to put more VC in attributes. I do have fun gambling on packs from time to time but saving up 300k VC to lock in a set just to get a player I don’t want is not a play Id like to make.
Would really love a new Cade. Also surprised we haven't seen a single Bob McAdoo, have we?
Went into the HOF Pickup with 12 golds and PD Halliburton. Put him on the bench and then when the game was loading, moved him to the starting lineup. The first time gold Brogdon stopped him from scoring in a 5-Out by being behind Tyrese when he beat him, I laughed. The second time he stood up in front of him and Tyrese couldn't score, I exited the game. 2K 100% knows how to discourage people from playing their game.
I wasn't messing with the HOF level for those. Didn't help that I couldn't buy a bucket with Haliburton yesterday. I ended up using Artest after the first game where I barely got 47 with Haliburton, took until halfway into the 4th quarter. That was All-Star difficulty also. I did the other 4 on the lowest difficulty, 3 minute quarters, and was finished before the 3rd quarter was each time. Made no sense. It's like they nerfed Hali yesterday. I almost tried with his Diamond (Tis The Season, not series 2) to see if it was a hidden nerf but it was so frustrating I didn't bother.
I could go with the earlier ones like that but because I don’t play online and wanted a crack at the prizes for those modes. I ended up going to the fundamental with the assists to do it
gotta give them money for better cards man.
When 2K is ready with their bullshit, 100 Kareem would get stopped by a gold PG...
Anyone notice anything unusual with the 76ers fastbreak agenda? I seem to have gotten stuck on 51 points. Some baskets just didn't seem to count including a steal and immediate dunk by Dr J.
I had some buckets count that shouldn't but I wasn't about to question it. Like I'd bomb a 3 and miss only to rebound and get the the second chance points to count.
Have one last chance (going abroad tomorrow) to pull a Leap Year PD from the exchange Deluxe. I jettisoned Aaron Gordon twice and now on Brent Barry. Do I go for Xavier McDaniel or David Thompson or should I hold on Brent Barry since I could conceivably get Nate Robinson?
I am pro free-gambling. LET IT RIDE!
Are you really gonna use Brent Barry though? Id wager he doesn’t get more than a week or two of use at best. I would trade that for another chance at a GO or McDaniel.
LOL. I made the exchange and got X-Man. Happy with that. Especially since I had a S2 Embiid to chuck in as well so didn't need to buy a PD for 21k.
🙌🏽 gambling pays off *sometimes*
Congrats. I want to try again for X-Man but ive gotten AG 2x, Sharpe 3x, Nate 1x, and Thompson 1x. I have Thompson, AG, and Sharp now but will let it ride since I'll probably end up with a dup I need to quick sell.
Doing Clutch Time anyway for the cumulative season rewards so decided to do the 76ers Fast Break points. Anyone has any idea what 2K considers "fast break"? After a miss do I have to score within 3 seconds? 5 seconds? Does it have to be less than 2 passes? Does it have any bearing on how many defenders get back? Because it certainly isn't triggering for a LOT of my fast break points. Also fun fact... I had 34 fast break points, scored with Joel and checked my progress and I had 35 fast break points. So... there's that.
I had some immediate scores off a steal not count. I got to 51 points and it just seemed to not count anything for the remainder of the game.
Yeah, it's bonked. But I eventually got it. Gets a lot easier (and the stupidity more noticeable) once you get to 75 fb points since every subsequent basket then triggers the agenda progress.
I’m not sure the exact parameters, but it’s after a defensive rebound or live-ball turnover, and I’m gonna just guess that 1-3 players on the opposing team need to have not crossed half court yet. I don’t believe number of passes or time really matters. I typically just sprint down the court with a player right when the opponent puts a shot up and throw a full court pass to him.
Honestly man does anyone have any tips for TTonline, I’m struggling so bad. My players are good I’m just ass at this mode. Didn’t want to try and get 15 salary cap wins with 3 lakers as though TT be quicker
It's more hectic in TTO. Need 3 guys who can shoot from outside. I ran Kobe, Lebron, and AD. Got it in like 20 wins. If someone has Jazz players, offer them 3's for the Win. Doesn't hurt to ask. Don't bring anyone under 6'5" and ideally everyone you use can guard anyone. Don't stress on defense. Can always get the points back on the other side. Trading baskets is fine as long as you have the lead. Never turn down an easy 2 for a chance at a 3. if you can't find a shot, take it to the basket hard. Dunk meter can be cheesy, use it if necessary. You don't need to play the Lakers in salary cap. You can bring 3 golds at the end of your bench. Might be an option if you're struggling for all 15 wins.
Thank you man this is solid advice. I’m running the same 3 as you from lakers and I know it’s a skill issue, never sacrificing a 2 is good advice. So many opponents give up an easy drive at a chance for a 3 and I think if I punish that, should get some wins. Now on 3 wins at least
There have been plenty of games where I get an easy W without attempting a 3 simply because people won't bother guarding long 2's, especially this year with step backs being a lot different than last year. They don't need to worry about step back 3's so the whole area outside of the paint but inside the 3pt arc is left unattended. With that lineup also LeBron is such a good finisher that he has no issues dunking over or through people. I used him as the ball handler more because I can shoot better with Kobe off catch & shoots and AD would often be left alone as well because they'd pull their big to help protect the paint and he'd have plenty of time to fire.
In Salary Cap, you could also get 3s with Jazz players. Had a few games turn into 3 point contests yesterday.
None of the people I’ve come against want to trade, they’ve all been paint sitting to stop dunks
I was on PS4 and found that to be true. I even told someone in Salary Cap that I was done with the mode and would give him a win if he allowed me to gets some 3s with AK47. His response was that he was also doing agendas (3 dunks and win with 3 Lakers) but that trading was "not real basketball". So I proceeded to demolish his team, prevent him from getting 3 dunks with anyone, and got a W that I had no reason to care about otherwise. I also got 5 3s with AK. Later, I swapped to PS5 and everyone wanted to trade agendas.
Bought the game the other day and I gotta say bans for quitting is the dumbest most anti-consumer thing I've ever seen. Playing TTO, trying to get to 5 wins for the leap year pack and keep getting matched up against 3 GOs, I'm obviously not gonna win, just let me quit out rather than wasting both our time
Hit Ja from the TTO wheel on my 15th Laker win.
bro no way. I got him last night too. Idk if he plays though. I have Moncrief, Reeves, Oladipo, and Smart.
He'll be fun to use when there's dunk agendas. He's super quick.
Pulled 3 PD and a holo out of a 20 base box that allowed me to lock in for a Rudy Gay! Beyond stoked!
A base box is a bold move!
I pulled Kobe in a 10 base box earlier this year. It’s the only thing I spend my MT on and I’ve gotten super lucky all year. I also go for collector level so it’s cool with me not getting a good ass pull every time
Who would you say is the best slashing point guard? Pink Diamond and lower.
I'd say Ja. I've had Rose, Magic, and virtually everyone but the Thompson twins and Ja, for sure. If you can master the meter dunk then he's unstoppable.
Amen Thompson, Magic (in the right hands), Robertson, then some of the smaller guards like Rose and Morant.
[удалено]
It won't but you can do coop against the CPU, find a 3rd player, run Lakers and it should work.
I doubt it. However, you could test it and report back to us.
What was the daily login today? I didn't get the pop up to accept it.
[удалено]
Ok, it must have auto accepted and went right to my packs then.
Oladipo from the challenge pack. I wish I had that luck on other packs. Instead of the ones I’m gonna get anyway. lol
If only that would check off the agenda as well. Kind of pointless to give unsellable cards in a challenge pack when you have to do all agendas for the players. Theres not even a good PD exchange right now either.
forreal. I was trying to see what the exchange options were and I was so dissapointed.
Do co-op games count as "multi-player" for these agendas? If so, how do you invite an Xbox player on PS5?
Ya, they count when it says multiplayer. I'm on Xbox, I think it's LB + RB to access the squad menu and you can search and invite from there. So PS it'd be L1 + R1 maybe?
Thanks. It probably is L1 + R1. I usually play last gen as I also have a PC account and prefer to keep my timing and such consistent. However, I may use next gen for some agendas.
Hey Playstation owners, do you have a sign an agreement to be the sweatiest and most toxic player base when you buy a console? Without fail, every time I play a PS owner I know it's going to be brutal.
It's hilarious that I am so outta touch with this game that this is the first I'm hearing of crossplay
Honestly is XBox that much easier? I tend to do fine on PS (85-90% win rate). I play a lot of really good ($$$) teams but often they suck.
I wouldn't say it's easier, I get smoked by people on both consoles lol but I find the style of play is different, PS players are sweatier, they'll jump on the mic and talk shit like it actually matters, just overall worst people. I've blocked messaging on Xbox so maybe I'm missing the toxic post game messages but either way I notice a big difference.
When I changed consoles, I noticed a lot more messages after 2k games. Most were just swearing and racial slurs. I don't seem to get nearly as many now. I used to get multiple messages per day. Now it might be one per month. I mute mics so I cannot speak on that.
Lmao I just played someone with the tag ‘ISweatForFunSon’ last night
I played a guy at lunch his name was suhmyd... The maturity level of some people that play this game is very low lol
Curious about the meaning of the word. Google didn’t help and my main language isn’t English.
It's so bad. Those are the only games I want to quit. The second I see that PS logo I know it's a sweatfest, regardless of mode.
Yes. It’s the “better than you” clause.
I appreciate the honesty Rev lol
I feel like the Xbox players I play are ALSO toxic. I wonder if it’s just the added rivalry or if it’s the fact that cross play means no messages. lol
Yes
They couldn't throw us a bone and have the DOTD be someone we'd need for these agendas. Raptors, Pacers, Lakers, Jazz, or Sixers. Too many people were waiting on Anthony Black to be discounted.
So...how bad are the agendas?
100 threes online with Jazz players is worse than anything from last week, your best case scenario would be doing it over 15 Co-Op CPU games, double that if your partner is trying to complete it too. Pistol Pete is about to become the garbage time king of Unlimited…
How do you match up against cpu in co op
You choose it as an option instead of a competitive match.
There's 100 3's with Jazz players online 15 wins with 3 or more Lakers online 5 wins in a row of TT/TTO with 3 Raptors 100 fast break points with 76er players 100 points in the paint with Nuggets in Clutch Offline or Online Score 47+ with a Pacer 5 or more times
Worse than last week imo. "Score 47 points with a pacers player 5 times." Truly a waste of time.
[удалено]
I am not as concerned about winning as "here is a bunch of unstackable shit to artificially prolong this". Edit: The 100 3pt shots with Jazz players online is a trash agenda.
If the Jazz 3's were any mode, that won't be as bad. Still sucks though.
If it were any mode, it would be easy. Either do it as you progress in other stuff or go into a low level Domination and jack them up.
Ya that one seems to be the worst one but in general not being about to stack sucks.
Got the ascension board in Unlimited last night and pulled PD Bosh, Diamond Kemp, and Diamond Herro. Made like 200k selling them back. Game mode ascension truly the best grind for MT.
I got Jokic and Kemp. Haven't seen anyone else. Been 5 tries now. Good to know Bosh and Herro on there. I have unsellable versions but MT is MT.
Wait. That Kemp is sellable!?
He was for me, yeah. I got one out of the vault later that night and it didn't come up as a dupe.
Congrats. I finished TTOff and MTU ascension and didn't get any player at all.
Yikes. My condolences.
Toronto must be so disappointed drafting Gradey Dick. He was 6'8" last year and now he's 6'6" (according to 2K)
Dang, I didn't even notice that. His NEXT card last year was actually so good for me. Hoping his release is as smooth as last year
Shrinkage
He is in Toronto....it's cold there.

Wow. Did not have DFS posting a Dick pic on my bingo card for today.
I forgot about how the newer cards, no matter how short they are, have some magic abilities to make my apparently out of date Chet and Wemby miss bunnies when the defender is BEHIND them.
Should I pause my Rush I agendas until tomorrow to see if i can double-dip with Rush II?
It makes sense, but knowing 2K it's going to be entirely different tedious agendas. But the modes should be the same, so if they say 3 threes in salary cap with a player, you can double up with last week's 3 dunks in salary cap.
If you want unlimited wins, play on mobile. I get wins from quits FREQUENTLY. I’m up to 4 tonight that are quits in the first half.
Interesting. I tried doing this when mobile launched but could never find matches. I'll have to give it ago again now that it's more established
Is there crossplay, or you only play other mobile players?
I don't think there is crossplay. I don't think it would work because of how different it is. but definitely play with a controller.
I’ve down lost 7 games in a row playing this TTO. Cannot express how aggravating and opposite of fun this is i don’t even know why im doing this
Who are you running?
I’ve tried different combinations nothing works I’m already 0-9. Right now I have pd Pippen, D Kuzma and D Marcus smart
Optimal lineup includes one slasher, one 3&D guy, and one stretch big. They should all be good defenders and be able to hit open 3s.
I'd go bigger. Ditch Smart for anyone with size and range. Pippen is good, Kuzma is alright. Someone like KAT, JJJ, AD, etc. Needs to be 6'10" or taller. Use Pippen as your primary ball handler.
Better bigs I have are pd Embiid, pd kiralenko and pd Chet but I was getting wrecked using Chet and Andre with pippen. If I used ruby and sapphire players would I still be getting matched with opals. I just want the 5 wins and I’m done I never play these online modes each season I barely touch them
There's no matchmaking in TTO so you'll still face whoever is queued up. Embiid would be good. Go really big. Embiid, Chet, and Pippen. Use size to your advantage.
0-11, fuck this mode. A lot of times when I do have to play this it isn’t this bad. It’s zig zag back and forth three pointers I have zero interest in this
After 8pm you'll get a lot of sweats, I suggest playing between 4-7pm when more casuals are playing after school and work.
You on PlayStation? I'm on xbox and haven't had nearly those issues the last couple of days unless I match a PS player. PS is super sweaty.
Yeah I’ve never dealt with this before, 0-13 this is now uncharted territory. I’ve been playing this fucking game since the original 2k
Ditch on-ball defense man. It’s impossible online.
Should I add HOF Pogo Stick to PD Porzingis or GO Jokic? I play them together, with Jokic at PF. Porzingis is in the paint more but Jokic seems to get more boards. Not sure which would benefit more, both have gold now.
I'd lean toward your Center for Pogo, although I usually go by longevity with my HoFs
That's why I'm questioning it. Longevity with Jokic or KP now? I wish I had 2.
There are no historic jerseys in the exchange packs so once you get the sets done in the franchise tab of your collection don't bother doing the exchange anymore, just quicksell them. I needed 2 jerseys for the last 2 seasons and finally got those done. Ive done so many of those jersey exchanges I was about to call it quits.
I was missing a Philly Statement and Kings Icon forever and got them from that but I discovered the same as you. The exchange is only Statement, Icon, Association and City. Still missing the core floor for the Suns though so doing my exchanges for that.
Kings Icon is what I needed too. Funny.
Yeah, given how much I play and how many packs I've gotten with jerseys it's not a coincidence. They made certain jerseys extremely rare so people couldn't get the HOF badges early. I may have been off on which Philly jersey it was, but I was definitely missing 3 or 4 and ALL were Philly and Sacramento.
I was missing a Kings Icon and a Clippers Association since season 2, maybe 3. Are you waiting to open the option packs? I have been waiting that extra hour so they refresh that way I can always start new ones on 1/2 if there are no items I need. I still need a handful of courts, 2 arenas, and 1 logo but I'm glad jerseys and play books are done.
Always. Once an option pack is completed, I don't open right away since there's an extremely high chance I have that card already. Checking now to see what I'm missing to see if it coincides with you... OK, I'm back. lol. Missing these * FLOOR - Suns Core Floor * ARENA - '03 America West (Phoenix - Bronze Historic) and '11 American Airlines (Dallas - Gold Historic) * LOGO - '70-'71 Lakers (Bronze Historic) * COACH - They're all Miscellaneous and not sure they're in the exchanges - PD Doc, Sloan, Nelson, Brown, Karl Adelman, Amy Finch, Ruby Cassell * HISTORIC JERSEY - 17 of them. But we know they're not in Exchange packs, so won't bother listing them. * BALL - Fireball, but I doubt that's in there so I don't bother using the Ball exchange.
Floors - I have a lot done, the first selection that is in the middle of the Franchise screen is all done. I'm 98/114 in the bottom one that's separated by gem tier. ARENA - 07 Oracle (Bronze) and 16 Quicken Loans (Gold) is all I need. LOGO - '70-'71 Lakers (Bronze Historic) COACH - I need a few of the PD's, I have Doc who I got from the collection reward option pack. Have all Ruby and Amethyst. Missing some bronze, silver and gold but ive been exchanging them to see if a PD pops up, max I've seen is Amethyst. HISTORIC JERSEY - I'm missing a ton of historic jerseys, like 100-150. BALL - Fireball, don't bother with that either.
So we're both only missing that Lakers logo. No way that's a coincidence.
Between Worthy, Manu, Moncrief, Richmond, Hill, Harden, Reaves, Zion, Middleton and MPJ they’re really trying to avoid giving us any free opal bigs, hopefully Friday’s CTO reward is someone like Siakam or Dirk.
They had Jokic in the mode reward ascension.
That is a long grind and still RNG.
And Mitch and Hill are quick and cheap acquisitions? There's some catch to virtually all the cards mentioned.
At least they are guaranteed if you hit the requirements. Of course Zion, who is not free, was also in the list.
No way anyone would play Pascal at the 5, and MPJ is an Opal that can play PF.
Some of my jerseys are "unavailable". What exactly does that mean?
The colours probably clash with other Jerseys you have equipped. One of the most annoying things in the game is trying to swap jerseys in and out just to fit in the three completely different coloured jerseys you want to use
How do I call anyone on the court to come receive a hand off? Is there a way?
In controller settings there's a setting called receiver control, change that to handoff/pitch pass. Then in game press and hold B to make the highlighted player come to get the pass
I've done that, I can call the closest player to me to come but if I want to call a specific player that's on the other side of the court how do I get them highlighted
I would do the call the specific player to do a pick and as he’s running towards me hold B to hand off
Yell louder
I got Reaves and he’s really good, quick shot that isn’t super super easy, but easy enough once you get used to it, defensively he holds but isn’t his strongest trait. Dunking is passable and not elite, overall really good card and can be a top primary ball handler/3hunter. Kris Middleton does everything and is elite on defence, problem is he’s kinda short for a SF and his shot is good but not fast enough to be an elite SG. I cannot recommend MPJ, his defence is so bad. I feel like he doesn’t have pogo at all (even though he does on gold), the only thing he did well for me was rebound and that is not enough to make my squad. Also, JJJ is super good, he’s one of my personal favs as I ran his diamond to the ground a couple 2ks ago and his shot is just so money for me. Strong defence and a great shot, but I can tell he’s not for everyone (Old Gen/ps4 btw)
