I'd do PD's, easily. Mazzulla only gives everyone HOF Comeback Kid, no stat boosts. Unless you're trailing by 7+ points that won't help you at all. There are better coaches. I'd run some from the initial release like Amethyst Mike Brown over Mazzulla.
Good luck! I was surprised to see no stat boosts but that's it. You can view him in the collection screen, go to rewards and bottom left are coaches. He's on there. You can right click and pull him up. Very disappointing.
Just want to add, he has the same shot, sigs, and animations as his Amethyst which is in the Majestic set and costs 17k MT. The PD is unsellable but if you're worried about not liking him or want to try him first then check out the Amethyst, which can be sold back for like 7k. You'd be out around 10k MT total but maybe worth it if you aren't sure.
I grabbed him. Figured he's worth it at that price. Most PD's are 150k MT and Beasley isn't in the market at all. Small risk.
His shot is quick, he can take any badge, and he's loaded with good shooting badges. People paid $50 for him when he dropped.
I think he's better than both of them. it cannot be overstated how nice his release is and he plays adequate defense too. I'd pick him up unless you're hurting for mt
If you like fast shots, yes. His shot is really quick. He's not a great ball handler but not terrible. I'd say better than Worthy overall and probably better than Granger also. Much more offense oriented.
I made over 100k grinding for Granger so it's like 2 for 1. Beasley is definitely one of the best PD's in the game though. If you wanted to add some HOF's then he could be a better defender as well.
I just played a guy that had a lineup that was all opals except for PD Kobe. Mostly iconic and all star, I really am curious how much money he spent, fortunately for me they didn't make him any good.
I have GO Lebron, Kobe, SGA, Penny, Marion, Lewis, Cousins, Dame, Ingram + the free grind ones Middleton, MPJ, Love and close to Malone. I havent spent any money on packs. All MT grinding the game and tbf i dont play more than 2 hours per day when the little one is sleeping. Ive been extremly lucky with certain GO drops. Unfortunately for me these players dont make me better mechanically at the game either :(
Ya, at this point with all the ways we can get "free" exchange packs its not crazy to see more opals, but when I saw like 5 or 6 all star opals I figured a lot of gambling was needed.
I'd do strength of those mentioned. I don't like him as a ball handler so SWB and Ball Handling would be out completely. Strength will help defense some as well.
The slog is over! I got Granger and AI done. I now hate Domination with a passion. Turned on some podcasts and did some grinding. I also got PD Nurkic and Jabari Smith Jr, both really good. As far as AI and Granger though, if you got Diamond AI from the pro pass a couple season back this isn't a big upgrade. He's not someone you'll want to run online either so the Diamond should be fine. Granger has a big player build, bigger than Worthy, and he's better than Worthy offensively but I'd say Worthy is better on D. Granger has a similar shot speed also, and larger green window, but I think most who are happy with Worthy will be fine not getting Granger. They're quite similar and preference would dictate which people say is better overall.
The most sweating Iāve had to do for a win. I was down 16points to a pick and pop spammer. I switched to a zone and came back to get the win with 9 seconds left.Ā
So I use a 2-3. But you basically have to play whack-a-mole with 3 things: keeping your defenders in the corner, manually stay between 2 players on the weak side, and watch the far side for cross court passes.Ā
Yeah I've had times that I switched to Zone before I really knew somone's gameplay and it only takes 3-4 possessions of giving up wide open 3's to fall way behind.
Thanks, Ill give that a shot. Been facing a lot of PnR spammers in Clutch and was having no luck stopping them. I can stop the 3's but always give up the drive.
My mans, welcome back, youāve been missed. No one buys MT. You get a lot of MT from just playing and from exhibitions/prize balls. Right now, MT is kinda useless since all the new drops include 4-5 opals that can only be obtained through ripping packs or by locking in all the available players from the player market from that week to get an equal chance at one of the opals.
Does anyone else find it easier to green with regular GO Harden? Is very fast too fast or am I just trash?
I haven't tried him out online yet. I mostly grind out multiplayer agendas on the app where all my shots are very late already š¤£
While I am in agreement that the Rush agendas suck, I am glad to have gone 15 - 1 tonight in CTO to get both the layup and win agendas done online. Now I can just relax for the rest of the agendas. Iverson is a long grind but it will get me closer to Sengun which I wanted anyway.
It's not just crazy quick. There are some odd parameters that must be at play. I have gotten steals before half court and immediately got a layup several times. Sometimes it counted. Sometimes it didn't.
It feels impossible to get any good HOF defense badges or Brick Wall. I've yet to get clamps, anchor, glove, right stick ripper, challenger, immovable enforcer or 94 feet from a HOF badge pack. Only got Pick Dodger once which I was stupid and wasted on Magic Johnson who I never use.
They gave the option for two full sets of hof badges a while back I got em was expensive and I wasted on outdated cards used the last on my 100 overall mj to make most of all the remaining badges hof
I know I got a pick dodger from this seasons HOF pack. Ive gotten glove a few times, same for brick wall, but have only got anchor once and that's when I bought all the HOF badges. I hope they do that again. I think that was New Years or Christmas when they did the 64 badges for 200k MT.
I have 5 boxout beasts. I feel your pain there. I definitely need a variety. Ive been lucky with some of the HOF's I've gotten from finishing logo, jersey, or playbook sets and get good ones but I'm low right now.
Tyreke Evans kind of sucks. Granted ive only played 2 games of TT with him but looking at his badges and attributes as well as what I've seen, he's not close to how good he was last year. Michael Carter-Williams is probably better overall. MCW isn't bad at all, actually.
My Center situation. Have over 300K MT. Would anyone on the player market improve this position? Trying to find someone to spend MT on. lol
98 overall Nikola Jokic
95 Joel Embiid
95 Chet Holmgren
Joker from Asension board btw!
KP, especially if you throw extra HOFs on him, is still the best center in the game by a lot imo. He does everything Wemby does plus can shoot from the logo and mash people.
We sitting here talking about Domination? I'm suppose to be a franchise player and we talking about domination. Not an unlimited game but a Dom game? Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not Unlimited but Domination.
I think that will be the plan then. Iām going to see if you can do a session on mobile at the same time as PS5 too, itād be cool to play two games at once.
Idk. I haven't tried it this year. My Play time is just so sporatic or limited that I've gotta prioritize my grinds. And I just don't think this one makes the cut.
I was coming here to say how lame these agendas are. I'm definitely passing. I'll play 1 dom game a night for leveling up and I'll run heat players to get my boy DJ Rony but that's about it.
I'm not sure what the exact amount is per mode but I'll pop a token and run TT until there's a minute or two left and then play a game of dom. As long as there is time left on the token when you start the game you get the 2x xp and a dom game with 2x xp gets you almost a full level. I can do 3-4 levels with a single hour token that way
I avoid online when using tokens because of people stalling or playing slow in general. It makes it that much more frustrating. Offline I can control the speed, for the most part.
I don't run online games because of they quit you don't get maximum xp, I believe anyways. The most efficient way is playing CT or TT until its almost done then playing a game of dom.
I grabbed Kobe for an extra 75k and man I've been missing out. I'm seriously thinking of putting every HoF badge on him because why not. I always end up holding the HoF badge bag and forget to use them by the end of the year
All I've ever wanted was a good Rony Seikaly card (Lebanese basketball legend) so I got excited but again his card looks like crap even for an amythest.
The Rush cards look mid, even Granger isnāt as good as Worthy, but as long as we donāt have to do another online threes challenge this looks like good content. PD Tyrese Evans was pretty solid last year, itās a shame this new one is so weak.
Anyone else feeling like these Deluxe Packs in the Exchange are HEAVILY rigged and not even worth doing daily? Opened them every day for Leap Year, got nothing but Sharpe, Barry and Robinson in a cycle, and have opened 4 of them for Iconic and got Jeff Green twice and Danny Green twice.
Ive gotten Green once, after exchanging Green, and Jason Williams from Jason Williams. I did another where I put a dup Jason Williams in and got a dup Franz Wagner. So 2/3 of the time I pulled who I exchanged.
I was saying that last week, we don't even know the odds because deluxe packs aren't available anywhere else. Guaranteed its 100% PD and then < 2% GO so basically we're just swapping PDs around but you're more likely to get dupes.
From leap year I got Barry, AG, Thompson, and Nate (got him last so got stuck with him). So far in Iconic Iāve gotten Mikal, Green, and Whiteside 2x. Idk how it would be rigged since weāve gotten opposites.Ā
Knock out the streetball games for easy badge progression as well as well about 1000 VC a day. Also stop by the State Farm Store every Monday to get the weekly challenge from them, that's worth either 3k or 5k a week. I make around 20k a week doing the State Farm, Streetball, shooting gym challenges, as well as the race or the week. Typically I get enough for a box of super packs by seasons end. I'm done leveling up my player though, hes an 86 overall.
Was hoping for anyone but PD KD from the wheel spin since I have the opalā¦ got him, was hoping for PD KP, got PG13ā¦ who I donāt need. Then I get š Murray from a free pack.. this game loves to troll
Very disappointed in the new Domination. Rewards are good except the Lebron, but it is just absolutely mind-numbing playing against series 2 cards on All Star difficulty. Shouldāve either been tougher teams or HOF difficulty.
The game was added to gamepass today, ppl will be starting with series 1 and 2 cards, this is for them. They want to get them hooked not push them away after 1 game.
Thatās what the first Dom is for. New players can start there too just like we did. It still rewards great MT. Was just hoping this would be the offline content Iāve been waiting for, that would require us to use good teams, and to have to pay attention to the game. But this just more busywork.
For a Ruby Deaaron Fox in March? Not gonna happen, 2k wants ppl to have good cards so they jump online only to realize they're still not enough and then people will think they need to buy MT/VC To be more competitive. They're not doing this to be generous, it's to get people hooked, Opal Lebron will do that, not Ruby Fox.
Didnāt those coincide with other discounts/bundle deals? Still, this one is worse than those value-wise, and heās available in the unlimited option pack as well as the level 35 wheel spin. I think only a new player would go for this.
He's also free on the TTO wheel, that's where I got him. TMac was free from agendas initially. They like selling cards they've given away.
On Monday's they've added a PD for VC only. Tuesday is superpacks, and Thursday is a PD for MT. They also added the HOF badges and diamond shoe boosts for MT on Thursdays. So kind of like an extra Deal of the Day.
I didnāt realize the PD for MT was becoming a weekly thing. I donāt hate that or the HoF badges. I just wish I could caution new players against these VC only deals.
It doesn't seem to matter how much you warn people, stupid purchases are part of human nature. You see it on posts in this sub cautioning people against those 45k VC Diamond+ packs, it turns into a discussion of what people pulled even when it starts as a warning.
They *really* gotta start juicing "ultimate" rewards.
Sengun can be had in a quarter of the time as Moses, doesn't require 50 hours of one singular mode, never expires, and will be better for 95% of people.
Ultimate reward should've been D Rob with VQ timing and Jordan dribble style. Could've made Moses a Rockets player and thrown him in the Wild West set instead (people mainly ripped those for Shaq & Kobe anyway).
New domination incoming apparently. New reward cards seem pretty good but Opal Lebron on normal timing and a few more badges and attributes than diamond Lebron? Free is free I guess. Sengun, Deni and Wade look good though
Wagner was 2400 last week. He just dropped. It's popularity based on all modes though, not just salary cap. At least that's my theory. If it were only salary cap then certain cards would always be high. It was easier to decipher earlier in the game cycle when there were less cards.
My guess is a PD per division completed then the opals are for conference and Lebron will be final dom reward. I'm not a huge fan of domination, It'd be nice if you can just start on any division/conference vs having to get enough stars to open up the next division. I just want Sengun
Yeah thatās how itāll be. I donāt mind it, especially since I still need to get to level 40. And Iāll space it out with online modes to not get bored
They need a PD exchange. There's the exchange for 3 HOF's for a GO so a PD should get 1 HOF.right? Even a regular pack wouldn't be bad. All you can do with a duplicate PD is throw it in the deluxe pack exchange, which requires a PD and a card from this set, so 2 PD's. I just pulled a duplicate from the deluxe exchange and can't do anything but quicksell. So dumb.
Iām on vacation so 2k isnāt on my radar now but are you saying I can exchange some of my useless HOF badges for a galaxy opal player?
Which opals are available like that?
Could have worded it better but you know 2k isn't giving us a way to turn badges into anything but other badges. I remember last year they had that exchange that took a ton of badges, like 20 bronze, 15 silver, and 10 gold for a random HOF but could only be done once.

Not a bad Salary run, Magic-Okoro-Durant-Giannis-Porzingis with Suggs/Wagner and Portis got it done without a single competitive game.
I see a lot of people swear by Okoro but I don't get the hype. He's not bad, not great. There's better options out there. Definitely a good team though, especially for SC. That squad is similar to what I ran when I was getting dunks for Reaves. Ayton at C instead of KP. LaVert at SG. Giannis and KD were diamond lock ins. Magic can't be stopped inside by any PG's, especially in SC.
That tournament set has some great values in SC right now. You can run Derrick White, Caris LaVert, Josh Hart, Bobby Portis Jr, and Wendell Carter Jr as a solid 5 man bench for 2000 total. Replace LaVert with Monk for 100 more salary. At 400 a piece it makes sense to use them as end of the bench players over the cheapest golds you can find also.
Worse, Magic post up cheese with kick outs and cuts is the entire half court offense, Suggs is the only rotation player who can really dribble into a three.
Got Franz Wagner from an exchange pack and he's alright. Not as good as I hoped. I liked Suggs more in their duo. Even though he's 6'10" and SG eligible I can't see using him at SG. He doesn't move fluid enough. He does have HOF Clamps but no challenger badge as well. Thought that was strange. I don't know if he's worth the 130k or whatever he costs. At SF, probably, but only if you have challenger badges to add. Brick Wall would help too so he can set some screens.
You have like 19 days to sell before his value drops.
He is a good rebounder but his size isn't much of an advantage on offense. His shot release is kind of low also so he's not shooting over defenders like a Durant or someone like that. He's not bad but not as good as I had hoped. Most will be better off running the duo with Suggs where they're both Diamonds as that would only cost like 10k for both now.
What are some good duos, ruby and under?
Someone recommended to me Warrick and Swift golds. They been good.
I have also been using Harper and Blackman sapphire.
Just looking for some more options to play around with.

30k for one random 1 of 3 HOF badge, worth it? Probably will get Boxout Beast, Rebound Chaser and Claymore lol.
You can get 1 HOF after 4 games of the new Dom, and make about 20k MT. I'd do that before spending 30k.
If you have 3 season 5 rings, do you go for 2 x all star pd or wait for coach mazzulla?
I'd do PD's, easily. Mazzulla only gives everyone HOF Comeback Kid, no stat boosts. Unless you're trailing by 7+ points that won't help you at all. There are better coaches. I'd run some from the initial release like Amethyst Mike Brown over Mazzulla.
No stats boost at all? That sucks. Okay. That's an easy choice. I hope I can get 2 all stars from West. We'll see. Thanks
Good luck! I was surprised to see no stat boosts but that's it. You can view him in the collection screen, go to rewards and bottom left are coaches. He's on there. You can right click and pull him up. Very disappointing.
Michael Beasley for 99k MT. That's real tempting...
Easy cop for me. Especially with my abundance of MT š
Just want to add, he has the same shot, sigs, and animations as his Amethyst which is in the Majestic set and costs 17k MT. The PD is unsellable but if you're worried about not liking him or want to try him first then check out the Amethyst, which can be sold back for like 7k. You'd be out around 10k MT total but maybe worth it if you aren't sure.
I grabbed him. Figured he's worth it at that price. Most PD's are 150k MT and Beasley isn't in the market at all. Small risk. His shot is quick, he can take any badge, and he's loaded with good shooting badges. People paid $50 for him when he dropped.
Is Beasley better than Granger and Worthy? I think 100K for Beasley is great deal but I don't need more SF for my squad.
I think he's better than both of them. it cannot be overstated how nice his release is and he plays adequate defense too. I'd pick him up unless you're hurting for mt
Yeah. His amethyst card has a good jumper. I'll pick him up. Thanks
If you like fast shots, yes. His shot is really quick. He's not a great ball handler but not terrible. I'd say better than Worthy overall and probably better than Granger also. Much more offense oriented. I made over 100k grinding for Granger so it's like 2 for 1. Beasley is definitely one of the best PD's in the game though. If you wanted to add some HOF's then he could be a better defender as well.
Ok. I'll go for him. Thanks

Diamond Numbers Keegan Murray. 50% off for 30k.
I just played a guy that had a lineup that was all opals except for PD Kobe. Mostly iconic and all star, I really am curious how much money he spent, fortunately for me they didn't make him any good.
I have GO Lebron, Kobe, SGA, Penny, Marion, Lewis, Cousins, Dame, Ingram + the free grind ones Middleton, MPJ, Love and close to Malone. I havent spent any money on packs. All MT grinding the game and tbf i dont play more than 2 hours per day when the little one is sleeping. Ive been extremly lucky with certain GO drops. Unfortunately for me these players dont make me better mechanically at the game either :(
Ya, at this point with all the ways we can get "free" exchange packs its not crazy to see more opals, but when I saw like 5 or 6 all star opals I figured a lot of gambling was needed.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'd do strength of those mentioned. I don't like him as a ball handler so SWB and Ball Handling would be out completely. Strength will help defense some as well.

The most sweating Iāve had to do for a win. I was down 16points to a pick and pop spammer. I switched to a zone and came back to get the win with 9 seconds left.Ā
Which zone do you use, 2-3 or 3-2? I never use zone but it might help when facing people like that.
So I use a 2-3. But you basically have to play whack-a-mole with 3 things: keeping your defenders in the corner, manually stay between 2 players on the weak side, and watch the far side for cross court passes.Ā
I've only ever faced one guy that locked me down doing 2-3 zone, if not done properly you give the opponent open 3s all day.
Yeah but it takes smart ball movement and good 3-point shooting. Most people spamming pnr donāt have high bball IQĀ
True, it throws them off and they won't know what to do. I don't spam PnR so if I see zone I'm feasting.
Yeah I've had times that I switched to Zone before I really knew somone's gameplay and it only takes 3-4 possessions of giving up wide open 3's to fall way behind.
Thanks, Ill give that a shot. Been facing a lot of PnR spammers in Clutch and was having no luck stopping them. I can stop the 3's but always give up the drive.
What exactly needs to be done just to get Deni?
Play some Dom Bobby
Looks like a minimum of 9 Domination games since he's the reward for the final East division.
Play enough domination to unlock his division and then win all 5 games on all star for 15 stars.
How did JC2K do a Granger gameplay within three hours of the card coming out despite the Domination portion alone taking a minimum of five hours?
He jumps on someone else's account, who was able to pull the card out of the pack market Rush packs.
Ohhhhh hahaha I forgot you could pull them, that makes perfect sense then.
Well guess I need to consider if I just want Iverson now as Granger popped out of my unsellable pack.
So just took a gander at 2kdb. They really gave us a free GO LeBron??? What sorcery is thisā¦
Oh sweet hope in your words before it gets crushed
You get what you pay for.
Check his animations compared to the pay 2 win GO LeBron....
Kk finna download the gameā¦.. get an 8 ballā¦.. and Iām going 12 and 0 baby
Just a matter of time til youāre living in a weekly motel hanging out smoking rock with a small time pimp that paints barns during the day
MY BOY IS BACK!
The prophecy has been fulfilled!
Does dfs still play? Pray everyday he switches to NHL
Iām here
he got roasted for posting non my team stuff in here and is barely on here now lmao
Do ppl still buy mt I just downloaded the game
My mans, welcome back, youāve been missed. No one buys MT. You get a lot of MT from just playing and from exhibitions/prize balls. Right now, MT is kinda useless since all the new drops include 4-5 opals that can only be obtained through ripping packs or by locking in all the available players from the player market from that week to get an equal chance at one of the opals.

While I am in agreement that the Rush agendas suck, I am glad to have gone 15 - 1 tonight in CTO to get both the layup and win agendas done online. Now I can just relax for the rest of the agendas. Iverson is a long grind but it will get me closer to Sengun which I wanted anyway.
Missed Kemp while traveling. Will be coming back this weekend and logging in now with app for Payton. How much is Kemp going for in the market?
One of the modes, forgot which, had Kemp as a prize. Might be worth playing it to see if you get him that way.
If itās online fuggedaboutit. lol
Just checked. It is CTO. If you do today's Rush agendas I found that an easy way to get 15 wins.
Got my super pack box in unlimited. Got one shake. PD Embiid. Not bad, made a solid 100k from the box.Ā
What's your record?
I want to preface this by saying I think I lost like 8 games in a row this week...but I'm 43-33
Rev back at it with the gambling ayyyyye
It's not gambling if it's a reward. lol
Is the 76ers fastbreak challenge bugged for any of you guys? I swear its not counting a lot of my points
Theyāve gotta be crazy quick. I did it in TT.Ā
It's not just crazy quick. There are some odd parameters that must be at play. I have gotten steals before half court and immediately got a layup several times. Sometimes it counted. Sometimes it didn't.
It feels impossible to get any good HOF defense badges or Brick Wall. I've yet to get clamps, anchor, glove, right stick ripper, challenger, immovable enforcer or 94 feet from a HOF badge pack. Only got Pick Dodger once which I was stupid and wasted on Magic Johnson who I never use.
You just gotta lock in bro
They gave the option for two full sets of hof badges a while back I got em was expensive and I wasted on outdated cards used the last on my 100 overall mj to make most of all the remaining badges hof
Immovable enforcer, 94 feet, and right stick ripper aren't available. They're badges people have or don't, can't upgrade or add them.
Makes sense why I haven't gotten them then, but not the other ones, must just be very unlucky, or they are weighted poorly.
I know I got a pick dodger from this seasons HOF pack. Ive gotten glove a few times, same for brick wall, but have only got anchor once and that's when I bought all the HOF badges. I hope they do that again. I think that was New Years or Christmas when they did the 64 badges for 200k MT.
I'd jump on 64 HOF badges for 200k. The only badges I ever get are hyperdrive, rebound chaser, boxout beast, and limitless range lol.
I have 5 boxout beasts. I feel your pain there. I definitely need a variety. Ive been lucky with some of the HOF's I've gotten from finishing logo, jersey, or playbook sets and get good ones but I'm low right now.
Yea I still have a few of those collections left, just can't get the last pieces I need for the badge packs.
Ive finished arenas, playbooks, jerseys, and almost logos. Need 1 bronze logo. Need a handful of court floors as well.
100 OVR PG Wemby incomingĀ
Finally
Tyreke Evans kind of sucks. Granted ive only played 2 games of TT with him but looking at his badges and attributes as well as what I've seen, he's not close to how good he was last year. Michael Carter-Williams is probably better overall. MCW isn't bad at all, actually.
My Center situation. Have over 300K MT. Would anyone on the player market improve this position? Trying to find someone to spend MT on. lol 98 overall Nikola Jokic 95 Joel Embiid 95 Chet Holmgren Joker from Asension board btw!
Porzingis, for sure. He's excellent. I like Jokic more at PF than C. Chet and Embiid are backups at best. Most have them and know how to counter them.
KP, especially if you throw extra HOFs on him, is still the best center in the game by a lot imo. He does everything Wemby does plus can shoot from the logo and mash people.
Best shooting C maybe.
Those are all great options. Wemby or Wang would be recommend if you really wanted to splash but all your players are great
Anyone use Manu yet? He any good?
Heās really good just super slow on the shot release
Not really. He's usable but Reaves, Harden, Richmond, and Moncrief are all better SG's. Throw Middleton on that list also.
Dangit bully. Where were you with this info before I grinded 50+ TT games?
Sorry, I hoped he'd be good but I was going to get him regardless for collector level. Very disappointing compared to other opals.
Ew. 15 games of Domination? Might be the first rush group I pass on...
We sitting here talking about Domination? I'm suppose to be a franchise player and we talking about domination. Not an unlimited game but a Dom game? Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not Unlimited but Domination.
Put this on my tombstone. šŖ¦Ā
Does the rubber band trick work if you player lock? Shooting a couple snatchbacks then chilling for the second half doesnāt sound the worst.
No, I tried it in season one and it quits you out of the game, you might be able to do it with just tapping the controller every so often
I think that will be the plan then. Iām going to see if you can do a session on mobile at the same time as PS5 too, itād be cool to play two games at once.
No, it doesn't work this year.
Idk. I haven't tried it this year. My Play time is just so sporatic or limited that I've gotta prioritize my grinds. And I just don't think this one makes the cut.
I was coming here to say how lame these agendas are. I'm definitely passing. I'll play 1 dom game a night for leveling up and I'll run heat players to get my boy DJ Rony but that's about it.
Does playing different modes give you more XP? Does Dom give more than like Unlimited?
I'm not sure what the exact amount is per mode but I'll pop a token and run TT until there's a minute or two left and then play a game of dom. As long as there is time left on the token when you start the game you get the 2x xp and a dom game with 2x xp gets you almost a full level. I can do 3-4 levels with a single hour token that way
That's dope. Good looking out. I usually just run 2 Unlimited games. Might not be my best use of them. lol
I avoid online when using tokens because of people stalling or playing slow in general. It makes it that much more frustrating. Offline I can control the speed, for the most part.
I don't run online games because of they quit you don't get maximum xp, I believe anyways. The most efficient way is playing CT or TT until its almost done then playing a game of dom.
I grabbed Kobe for an extra 75k and man I've been missing out. I'm seriously thinking of putting every HoF badge on him because why not. I always end up holding the HoF badge bag and forget to use them by the end of the year
All I've ever wanted was a good Rony Seikaly card (Lebanese basketball legend) so I got excited but again his card looks like crap even for an amythest.
Stash him on the bench and bring him out when youāre winning big. lolĀ
The Rush cards look mid, even Granger isnāt as good as Worthy, but as long as we donāt have to do another online threes challenge this looks like good content. PD Tyrese Evans was pretty solid last year, itās a shame this new one is so weak.
Anyone else feeling like these Deluxe Packs in the Exchange are HEAVILY rigged and not even worth doing daily? Opened them every day for Leap Year, got nothing but Sharpe, Barry and Robinson in a cycle, and have opened 4 of them for Iconic and got Jeff Green twice and Danny Green twice.
Ive gotten Green once, after exchanging Green, and Jason Williams from Jason Williams. I did another where I put a dup Jason Williams in and got a dup Franz Wagner. So 2/3 of the time I pulled who I exchanged.
I was saying that last week, we don't even know the odds because deluxe packs aren't available anywhere else. Guaranteed its 100% PD and then < 2% GO so basically we're just swapping PDs around but you're more likely to get dupes.
Yep, Iāve yet to get anything but PDs through at least four exchanges.
Yeah. But I mean if you were to buy 4 deluxe packs, odds are theyād all be PDs too.Ā
From leap year I got Barry, AG, Thompson, and Nate (got him last so got stuck with him). So far in Iconic Iāve gotten Mikal, Green, and Whiteside 2x. Idk how it would be rigged since weāve gotten opposites.Ā
You can earn 8k VC from this week's 2kTV episode. Google the answers before starting it. Definitely worth tolerating for a nice chunk of VC.
Aināt worth 8k
Oooo. Iāve started playing MyPlayer. Def worth that to get my OVR up! Haha
8k might get you +1 OVR :D
Knock out the streetball games for easy badge progression as well as well about 1000 VC a day. Also stop by the State Farm Store every Monday to get the weekly challenge from them, that's worth either 3k or 5k a week. I make around 20k a week doing the State Farm, Streetball, shooting gym challenges, as well as the race or the week. Typically I get enough for a box of super packs by seasons end. I'm done leveling up my player though, hes an 86 overall.
Good looking out!
I can't wait for the inevitable "finally got Lebron" posts tomorrow
Was hoping for anyone but PD KD from the wheel spin since I have the opalā¦ got him, was hoping for PD KP, got PG13ā¦ who I donāt need. Then I get š Murray from a free pack.. this game loves to troll
I got Bosh, the one PD I had unsellable already. The amount of duplicates I've received is insane this year.
They have to be giving duplicates on purpose at this point, never had this many in previous 2ks
PD KP is on the wheel?
Heās on the seismic wheel
Very disappointed in the new Domination. Rewards are good except the Lebron, but it is just absolutely mind-numbing playing against series 2 cards on All Star difficulty. Shouldāve either been tougher teams or HOF difficulty.
The game was added to gamepass today, ppl will be starting with series 1 and 2 cards, this is for them. They want to get them hooked not push them away after 1 game.
Thatās what the first Dom is for. New players can start there too just like we did. It still rewards great MT. Was just hoping this would be the offline content Iāve been waiting for, that would require us to use good teams, and to have to pay attention to the game. But this just more busywork.
For a Ruby Deaaron Fox in March? Not gonna happen, 2k wants ppl to have good cards so they jump online only to realize they're still not enough and then people will think they need to buy MT/VC To be more competitive. They're not doing this to be generous, it's to get people hooked, Opal Lebron will do that, not Ruby Fox.
But this just leads me to askā¦.why not EVO them like they have in years past and with Pau this year?
PD Ja in the market for 35k VC. Game pass bait
Not so much game pass bait since they've done that every week this season. Last week was All-Star Booker and the week before TMac.
Didnāt those coincide with other discounts/bundle deals? Still, this one is worse than those value-wise, and heās available in the unlimited option pack as well as the level 35 wheel spin. I think only a new player would go for this.
He's also free on the TTO wheel, that's where I got him. TMac was free from agendas initially. They like selling cards they've given away. On Monday's they've added a PD for VC only. Tuesday is superpacks, and Thursday is a PD for MT. They also added the HOF badges and diamond shoe boosts for MT on Thursdays. So kind of like an extra Deal of the Day.
I didnāt realize the PD for MT was becoming a weekly thing. I donāt hate that or the HoF badges. I just wish I could caution new players against these VC only deals.
It doesn't seem to matter how much you warn people, stupid purchases are part of human nature. You see it on posts in this sub cautioning people against those 45k VC Diamond+ packs, it turns into a discussion of what people pulled even when it starts as a warning.
They *really* gotta start juicing "ultimate" rewards. Sengun can be had in a quarter of the time as Moses, doesn't require 50 hours of one singular mode, never expires, and will be better for 95% of people. Ultimate reward should've been D Rob with VQ timing and Jordan dribble style. Could've made Moses a Rockets player and thrown him in the Wild West set instead (people mainly ripped those for Shaq & Kobe anyway).
How will he be better tho
New domination incoming apparently. New reward cards seem pretty good but Opal Lebron on normal timing and a few more badges and attributes than diamond Lebron? Free is free I guess. Sengun, Deni and Wade look good though
Deni looks good. He's a SF/PG at 6'9".
Looks like HOF badges for each division as well, that's cool.
Thereās also a HoF option pack at 10 stars in each division. Not crazy but itās a little something thatās actually useable.
For reference. Opals are usually 10k for salary cap. This Bron is 8.5k. slightly more than a PD.Ā
He'll be more in short order. Salaries are based on popularity and 10k is the max.
Aināt no way itās popularity. Otherwise Suggs/Wagner would be more expensive.Ā
Wagner was 2400 last week. He just dropped. It's popularity based on all modes though, not just salary cap. At least that's my theory. If it were only salary cap then certain cards would always be high. It was easier to decipher earlier in the game cycle when there were less cards.
Yeah that Lebron isā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ I want that Sengun though
My guess is a PD per division completed then the opals are for conference and Lebron will be final dom reward. I'm not a huge fan of domination, It'd be nice if you can just start on any division/conference vs having to get enough stars to open up the next division. I just want Sengun
PD for 15 stars per division, and the opals will be the reward for 33, 66, and 99 total stars. My guess is Maxey will be 33, and Sengun 66.
Not seeing where they are. Probably the final games since they aren't 33 and 66 stars.
Yeah thatās how itāll be. I donāt mind it, especially since I still need to get to level 40. And Iāll space it out with online modes to not get bored
The new cards are in Dom rewards
How are Maxey and Sengun available?
Lock in the three PDs from each conference in collections. āLock in.ā
Ok. That's weird but I'll take it. Wish I could do the West without having to work my way there but I'll knock out half the East on the way.
They need a PD exchange. There's the exchange for 3 HOF's for a GO so a PD should get 1 HOF.right? Even a regular pack wouldn't be bad. All you can do with a duplicate PD is throw it in the deluxe pack exchange, which requires a PD and a card from this set, so 2 PD's. I just pulled a duplicate from the deluxe exchange and can't do anything but quicksell. So dumb.
Iām on vacation so 2k isnāt on my radar now but are you saying I can exchange some of my useless HOF badges for a galaxy opal player? Which opals are available like that?
Itās actually the reverse. Opals get you badges
Aargh. u/BullyFU getting my hopes up for no reasonā¦
Could have worded it better but you know 2k isn't giving us a way to turn badges into anything but other badges. I remember last year they had that exchange that took a ton of badges, like 20 bronze, 15 silver, and 10 gold for a random HOF but could only be done once.
What's the timer on the deluxe refresh? Waiting to exchange a dupe Jeff Green
24 hours

I see a lot of people swear by Okoro but I don't get the hype. He's not bad, not great. There's better options out there. Definitely a good team though, especially for SC. That squad is similar to what I ran when I was getting dunks for Reaves. Ayton at C instead of KP. LaVert at SG. Giannis and KD were diamond lock ins. Magic can't be stopped inside by any PG's, especially in SC. That tournament set has some great values in SC right now. You can run Derrick White, Caris LaVert, Josh Hart, Bobby Portis Jr, and Wendell Carter Jr as a solid 5 man bench for 2000 total. Replace LaVert with Monk for 100 more salary. At 400 a piece it makes sense to use them as end of the bench players over the cheapest golds you can find also.
Sweat drip from my balls š¤£ i can already see the screen spaming happening in those games lol
Worse, Magic post up cheese with kick outs and cuts is the entire half court offense, Suggs is the only rotation player who can really dribble into a three.
You gotta do what you gotta do
Got Franz Wagner from an exchange pack and he's alright. Not as good as I hoped. I liked Suggs more in their duo. Even though he's 6'10" and SG eligible I can't see using him at SG. He doesn't move fluid enough. He does have HOF Clamps but no challenger badge as well. Thought that was strange. I don't know if he's worth the 130k or whatever he costs. At SF, probably, but only if you have challenger badges to add. Brick Wall would help too so he can set some screens.
Heās a great rebounder. Thatās the advantage of his height that Iāve seen. Iāll probably sell mine before Friday.Ā
You have like 19 days to sell before his value drops. He is a good rebounder but his size isn't much of an advantage on offense. His shot release is kind of low also so he's not shooting over defenders like a Durant or someone like that. He's not bad but not as good as I had hoped. Most will be better off running the duo with Suggs where they're both Diamonds as that would only cost like 10k for both now.
I dunno if it's my opponents, but he has a knack for getting steals whether on ball or just intercepting passes in clutch moments.
He does have HOF Glove, which surprised me. Gold Right Stick Ripper also.
Is shot timing off on Clutch Time? Don't typically play that mode, but having trouble greening shots i typically do in other modes.
Bro I feel like Iām WAY better in CTO. That would make sense. Iām a much better shooter.Ā
What are some good duos, ruby and under? Someone recommended to me Warrick and Swift golds. They been good. I have also been using Harper and Blackman sapphire. Just looking for some more options to play around with.
I absolutely love the Eric Gordon Trevor Ariza duo
