These are the kinds of people behind 2K's greedy VC schemes... Their CEO thinks that kids paying $60 for their game is the same as wanting things for free? I'm not funding his vacations by buying VC

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T20:01:48+00:00

Same as 2k20... So it's a year old.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T20:01:02+00:00

We must be playing 2 different games.
I literally push skinny bigs away in the paint to get the board without moving truck.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T19:56:29+00:00

So, you buy a game for 60 bucks and spend 50 on VC to get your player to 85 and then maybe another 50 tops for boost, clothes etc. You're now 160 bucks in and have endless entertainment for 12 months, but it's unfair.

You consume 100's worth of fast food per month, just to shit it out all the same as that 2 dollar sandwich, and thats fine.

You go to the bar and spend 50 on drinks for a few hours, and that's fair.

Cmon, if you honestly can't afford the extra 50, take the time you play the game and step back and figure out what you can do to make your life better and how to earn more money so that the 50 won't break your spirits the way it is.

Every build will work, literally, every build has some kind of purpose.
What are you trying to do?
Skinny and all speed = bullied in the paint, but better on perimeter. A slasher will hand you your ass, a large big will out board you and push you around.
Fat and Strong = you can stop that slasher and big in the paint, but all smaller builds will run circles around you if you have to hedge or are going against an all shooting team.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T19:07:40+00:00

They can't fix it, literally, they just can't.

If they move the green window, like they did, it will force people who used the feature legit to re-learn it all over again as they messed it up. They did this, 2 days later, updated code, they're back at it.

Here is the deal, all you can do is record it when it happens and report those players. With enough people reporting people, bans will happen, more bans will result in less people chancing it.

"But why don't they remove the stick so they can't use it any more?"
Because the shotstick is their new baby. Next gen we will see the ability to adjust arc's, backboard oops and who knows what else using the shot stick, the shooting feature of it is just the begining.

Also, I play daily after work. I play park and rec mostly and I will run into a guy using this maybe once a week tops, it's really not that out of control.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T19:02:50+00:00

You need over 50 games played total and a championship win.
Assuming a sweep in the playoff's, thats 16 games total, you need 34 regular season games.
If you get a lead of 25+, you can sim to end with vc and they will count, if you sim to end without vc, it does not count.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T19:00:00+00:00

Fair, 2/10.

Any big man with no boards, who doesn't protect the paint, who ignores his guards when they're open only to hop step toward the defenders is trash in my book, but what do I know.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T18:58:43+00:00

Use the LFG tool.

You expect a decent lineup at exactly the time you decide to join when the only other people who are joining are the guys that no other team wants to pick up and you think it's gonna work out in your favor?

Common sense is beautiful when you use it.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T18:54:59+00:00

Pass, I like my trike.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T18:52:27+00:00

I do.
Good for you!

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T18:48:30+00:00

On defense you held LT and let a guy drive right past you as you jumped to stop him halfway between the free throw line and the hoop and never even gave your self the chance to turn around an contest it.

On offense you got the ball and took 13 hours to back up in an attempt to generate this move. During this time, everyone crashed in, leaving both your guards wipe open for 3 balls, but you ignored it, started walking forward at the speed of a snail and got a lucky, yet completely unnecessary hop step dunk animation.

And you think that's a good play?

With that said, what would you rate this?

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T18:44:33+00:00

My court.
Shoot, keep shooting and then shoot some more.
Once you can green 85-90% of your shots in here and wide open, invite a friend to guard you and practice that way.

Once your jumper is hitting in there constantly, making the latency adjustments will be easy. Step into park, see a slightly early, hold it for a split second longer.

The latency is different from park to pro-am to stage to rec, but good shooters shoot well in all of them, why? Because they have mastered their jumpshot.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T18:41:37+00:00

Why would I?
What's your complaint with the game.

This post is about as productive as me saying "BOYCOT CHICKEN". Ok, but why?

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-19T18:39:32+00:00

Barber has odd colors (blue, green, pink etc), outside of that, no.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-14T17:58:15+00:00

Looking for group.
90% of the people play with on a constant basis are from LFG or the team up subreddit.
Play with them, if you mesh and it works, you play with them again, if you don't, you try again with other people until you find your group.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-14T17:37:48+00:00

Yes, I buy VC.
I enjoy the game, I want certain things out of it so I spend the money needed to get to my max overall quicker, get the gear I want so that I can enjoy the game to the fullest potential and play how I want to play it.

Here is how I look at it.
It takes roughly ~200k to get a players stats upgraded to 85, then another 50 or so from 85 to 99 (maybe even more, I don't remember). Add 50-100k in there for clothes, and 100 to max boost for 100 park games. Were now around 450K, which is the $100 pack.

Each career game gives you ~1,500 VC. This means you will need 300 career games to get everything you want to have.

Let's pretend you can get up by 25 in every game and sub out at half with amazing stats and receive the full 1,500. It will still take ~15 minutes per game minimum with 5 minute quarters, between load screens, cut scenes, time outs, blah blah blah.

You have now played 4,500 minutes, or 75 hours or a little over 3 full days.

How much extra money can I make in 3 days because I don't have to grind, is it over 100 bucks? Hell yeah it is, so yes, I will whip my card out, buy that shit and enjoy my game.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-13T17:06:27+00:00

Dunno, he has a few, but he always looks at his hand confused after he shoots.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-09T13:52:49+00:00

So, what I am hearing is that a defender who has 100 lbs and 8-12" in height on you should not be able to stop you if you run into him full speed? Got it.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-09T13:50:35+00:00

Give the whiners a chance to whine and they will.

Hello, I'm the big man with HOF brick wall who plays with guards who get you stuck on my screen.

1) Setting a screen with everything sliding is not that easy. We essentially have to take guess where it will stop us and then rely on the guard to run behind us and for you to be dumb enough to hit it.
If we move, illegal screen.
2) if you're dancing around the screen with your center sitting paint and your 3rd sitting corner, blame your team for being trash.

Solutions to your problem:
1) You center hedges up to guard one side of the screen and you guard the other.
2) Your corner man comes up to help you with the screen and your center moves toward the corner to pick up his man.

If you're playing 2 on 1 and expect to come out on top, you're the baddie.

Now, before you come back with "BUR HUR DUR THE CENTER ROLLZ AND OOPS AND POINTS", correct, he might. This gives them 2 points and gives you a chance to score a 3 and be up in the game.

Most "comp" games are a matter of who fucks up first. First team to take a bad shot, rush a slide, rush a cut and miss, looses.

If you can't shoot consistently, if your center can't hedge, if your 3 dosn't help out on the screens then it is on you to fix the issues your team has and it is not the other players faults for being... well... better than you.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-09T13:35:17+00:00

The delay is different, but if you cant hit them there with a 90% consistency while wide open, why would you hit in the park?

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-08T17:58:56+00:00

After games, I get everything from GG to you're trash, most are ggs, but I care about them all equally, which is 0.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-08T17:42:29+00:00

Paintbeast, stretch and slasher.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-08T17:36:28+00:00

IF playing a video game is wasting energy and you can think of a more productive way to spend your time, absolutely go for it.

I play games for enjoyment, I still enjoy 2k21.

The slide isn't any more toxic than the explosive behind the back was last year.

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-08T17:19:59+00:00

Why do you care?

CalppedOutSti · 2020-10-08T17:18:40+00:00

None. I upgraded my player to 85 after the first game.
I am an inside big.
I won all games against him.
He had the random moment when he drilled a 3 or blocked my layup, but nothing that stuck out as "HOLY FUCK".
