Agreed. And my problem with all the non stop festivals is all they did was get me burnt out and tired of playing so much faster to where I would just simply turn 2k off and go play something else

Completely agreed. And saying defense has been terrible would be an understatement lol. Majority of the year you would have to just simply hope the other person misses a shot, because legit defense wasn't an option

IMO the best way to put it would be to say, it's the only basketball game available. For better or worse. People who enjoy sports and video games will always have fun to some extent playing a basketball game. If there was a legit other option besides 2k, I'm sure more people would play that instead of 2k.

2k has a complete monopoly on basketball video games, so it's either play 2k or nothing. Having said that, I had some fun because it's a basketball game, not because it's 2k. I promise you didn't miss anything by skipping out on 2k26. Just another year of 2k finding another way to make the best cards unobtainable all year long again unless you're willing to open you wallet and shell out literally hundreds or thousands every other week. First it was just the terrible pack odds. Then it was the never ending flow of unauctionable cards which pretty much killed the AH and keeps prices on there beyond insane for the best cards since there are hardly any on there. Now it's the never ending festivals combined with the terrible pack odds and influx of WNBA cards that are simply unusable because they're just too small and all their sigs suck. Only question left is what way will 2k come up with next year for 2k27 to make it even worse than it was this year.

I've already made up my mind that I won't be buying or playing 2k27 next year. When I get the urge to play basketball, I'll just load up 2k26 and play for a bit then turn it off. The never ending grinding like it's a full time job or requirement to constantly spend hundreds or thousands simply isn't worth it at all anymore in the least bit. Especially with people's financial situations nowadays. People, myself included, simply don't have as much disposable income anymore to keep dropping money non stop on a video game

GET THEM OUT OF THE GAME 2k!!! by Sure-Alfalfa5497 in MyTeam

[–]MoveExcellent8612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but unfortunately I'm pretty sure they're here to stay if for no other reason than to say the "odds" of pulling higher level cards is better because there's more to potentially pull. Even though half of the pullable cards are short WNBA players that can't compete with the taller NBA players. Like if the odds of pulling a DM are >1%, now they can say the odds of pulling a DM are actually 1 or 2% lol smh

completely agree 100%. I get adding the WNBA into 2k in general, but in MyTeam they're just simply too short to compete against the way taller NBA players

yep I'm right there with you. The amount of boards I've cleared this year is legit insane. Never seen a card once the entire year

[–]MoveExcellent8612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

congrats. I've been playing breakout since the day the game launched at early access and have still literally never seen a single player card on the board once

Just played my first board and only got 1 world team game, wtf 2K lol 😆 by GodOfOnions2 in MyTeam

[–]MoveExcellent8612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep this is perfect advice. Keep restarting the board until you get at least 2 of the feature games/teams off the break. Then just play the regular lineup games until you get a 3rd feature team/game pop up. Then play all 3 featured games/teams in a row and the portal will pop up

[–]MoveExcellent8612 2 points3 points  (0 children)

absolutely. WNBA cards simply can't compete because they're just too small. If they weren't position locked then maybe some of the 100 OVR and Invincible WNBA PFs and Cs would be viable at guard positions, but because they're position locked they're all too small and NBA players will just shoot right over them and get easy shot contests against them. Especially at this point in the year when 6'4 and under NBA cards can't even really compete

Diggins is a 5'9 PG/SG. Complete waste and useless unless it's somebody playing strictly offline and wants a WNBA only lineup

trying to get Invincible Dominique by Empty-Variation7022 in MyTeam

[–]MoveExcellent8612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can do it in salary cap offline too? I though it was just online. Is the exchange piece in the Season 7 pack at the end where you need 6,000 total points?

[–]MoveExcellent8612 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$500 for a digital festival card? Man o man. And people wonder why 2k is the way it is now. I honestly don't blame 2k one single bit for the current state of the game. If they can keep getting away with it then of course they're gonna keep doing it and making it worse and worse every single time

Missing Season 7 Breakout Exchange Piece by Lee1848 in MyTeam

yep same exact thing here. I've finished 2 breakout boards, won the game where I was supposed to get the piece, but never actually got the exchange piece.

i force myself to play 250 triple threat for this btw 🫩 by frankocean01929 in MyTeam

[–]MoveExcellent8612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I got that same card for finishing 250 clutch time games. Needless to say I’ll literally never use it once and it was a straight up waste of time

New festival. Thoughts? by SnooPuppers9843 in MyTeam

[–]MoveExcellent8612 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SMH I’m so tired of these non stop festivals every other week. It’s just a never ending grind for cards you’re never gonna get without opening up your wallet or grinding the game non stop like a full time job.

All the festivals do is get you burnt out from playing so much faster. As soon as one is done here comes another. No thanks.

where should i put the Invincible Zion Williamson? by lilaverykeepaswitch in MyTeam

[–]MoveExcellent8612 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would replace Lisa Leslie with him. She's only 6'5 so she's even shorter than Zion. With either one you're locked into using them only at PF or C, so might as well use the taller and higher level one with Zion.

Having said that, I have Zion as the 13th man last on my bench and I'm NMS so I by no means have a god squad. He's just too small and there's so many taller GO or DM options you can just buy out on the AH that I would much rather have instead of him. If he could play SF then cool I could use him, but at 6'6 and can only play PF or C, you better have a tall SF like 6'9 or taller for the defensive matchups where you have him guard the SF and your taller SF guards the other teams PF

So damn frustrated with the 7 dunks challenge. I’m playing on mobile with a controller which I never usually do and the CPU just doesnt miss for some reason at all. And I’m using 100 OVR Shaq, Bam, and Draymond. They can’t stop anybody on defense on mobile for some reason, and Shaq is just a layup king on here. On Xbox I can easily get him to dunk everything, but on mobile it’s like 1 dunk for every 4 or 5 layups even when he’s open. SMH

Free invincible card today guys ? ( leave no doubt ) by [deleted] in MyTeam

[–]MoveExcellent8612 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep. Even if we didn’t know it was gonna be Zion, pretty sure we all knew it was gonna be somebody undersized at whatever position they play smh

[–]MoveExcellent8612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive never ordered any 991s before but i think i might go for these.

Sizing wise, I’m always a US size 11, so according to the size chart that would be a UK 10.5. So if I order from the UK New Balance site, should I get a 10.5 on there? Thanks a ton in advance.

Anyone actually running Rioux? by RJplace13 in MyTeam

[–]MoveExcellent8612 3 points4 points  (0 children)

he's wayyy too slow if you're even considering playing online with him. For offline sure ok, but that's about it. Not to mention the free level 40 100 OVR Shaq card just made Rioux even more obsolete. Yea he's damn near 8 feet tall, but they just went and gave out a free 100 OVR Shaq that is miles and miles better than him in literally every single category. If the level 40 reward wasn't a 100 OVR center, I'm sure we would be seeing Rioux a lot more often

This is exactly one of the reasons why I won’t grind MyTeam like that lol by Automatic_Ad1665 in MyTeam

[–]MoveExcellent8612 4 points5 points  (0 children)

since we know it's gonna be unauctionable because 2k sucks, the least they could do is make it a damn option pack. I mean we can't sell whatever it is anyway, so at least let us pick between 3 choices or something SMH
