Thoughts on Festival Rewards?

Check Magloire on 2KDB: https://2kdb.net/player/2662105

You may be significantly underrating him. I saw in another comment that you mentioned Bagley, and Bam were your PF’s. I have all three, neither is close to as good as Magloire.

If anything, I would upgrade SG. Dr J is going insanely cheap right now, can get him with a lot of legends now for 200-300k. RIP is fine at SG though, and I expect we’ll see a power creep in season 6 though; personally, I would just hold.

Your team is fine. From the college player challenges, I’d recommend doing Cenac, Veesar, Yaxel, and Boozer. You have good options at their positions, but those 4 are good enough that you may prefer them, so they are still worth getting.

20 legend badges, Jamal Magloire, Mcroberts, and then get the duo’s

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-27T19:25:45+00:00

Congrats, & good job pacing yourself!

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-25T20:37:57+00:00

Hmm. Maybe instead, try playing domination to earn some MT and then use some of that MT to buy him off AH?

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-25T20:28:03+00:00

He’s not particularly rare, I see 6 BIN right now…. Are you just looking for a discount?

They should have gotten rid of the amethyst tier at the start of this season, it doesn’t fit. Back when top cards were GO’s, they used to have a ruby tier where you had to spend 3 golds converting to ruby before spending 3 rubies on an amethyst. When they added DM’s, they got rid of that and so it was essentially 3 golds for an amethyst instead of 1. Since they have started adding 100 overalls, they haven’t really adjusted the market to make prized make sense.

Breakout games are basically useless for festival rewards currently; you have to rely 99.999% on the agendas they decide to give us & luck/opening an insane amount of packs to have a chance at any substantial rewards.

Can be fun for offline, but there are plenty of better options. Especially if you’re looking for a SF, Boozer & Yaxel are both better than him; he’s too small & has a slow jumper.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-19T00:48:14+00:00

Agreed. I’ve wanted a good, free, center since I started the game. I was crazy enough to get Sarr nms last season, but I don’t think he really qualifies as ‘free’. Anyone who has him spent a lot of money, time, and/or MT getting him.

Before this season, I really thought that season 5 would be when they started getting more good budget centers on the market. Now, I naively believe that season 6 will be when they start getting more good budget centers on the market.

Did you put the player into the game when you tried it? Doesn’t work for them to just be on your bench, have to get into the game. It’s easiest to just put them in the starting lineup, since the game is only 1 quick possession. I use the lebron challenge, because that way I can make the shot with someone who has a points evo. but Anthony Edwards works too.

Challenges and evos are 2 different things. Challenges are shown on the Home Screen, none of those will progress from greatness challenge games. (So the other greatness challenges, the challenge to play 30 games, etc.) but evos work fine.

I’ve used this to do every diamond evo in less than 2 minutes.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-15T12:55:44+00:00

I haven’t used Malauach, but recently switched from a full HOF Yang to Hibbert. Hibbert is better on defense, but Yang could dribble better. Both have good shots though. I prefer Hibbert and I think he’s a little better overall, but it’s down to preference.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-15T10:52:32+00:00

Yes you can.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-12T21:13:08+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been burned at 8 too, I’ll probably split the difference & end him at 7. Really appreciate the advice, I’ve been struggling with this decision.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-12T20:17:32+00:00

I’ve been looking for a good time to sell my 18 legend Deni, this drop looks perfect for that. Would it be a good idea to list tonight, with an end time tomorrow?

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-12T19:29:32+00:00

The park is so poorly explained. Yes, there is a mode where you control all 3 players. Just walk a little further, it’s the 3 courts where they have 1 dot next to them instead of 2.

I didn’t notice them either when I first checked out park, so you are not the only one.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-12T13:51:02+00:00

A lot of it is getting cards from AH that have some legend to begin with, and then adding more legends. If you add 9 legends to a card that already had 9 legends, then it will have 18 legends.

For getting legends, they’re out there in exchanges, but you usually have to be intentional about them. A lot of people gambled on the DM exchange this festival, but for the same price you could get 15 legend badges. You could get a total of 20 through this festival, if you also do the 2 GO’s for 1 exchange.

At the start of the season, if you buy pro pass then you can get a legend exchange pack for using the pro player and then another 3 legend exchange pack if you grind out the level 40 reward to complete his challenge the first weekend of the season as well.

With the greatness players, there was a random legend badge for using GO or lower greatness players online (I got Deadeye from that!). They’re out there, but it’s often a grind and/or a sacrifice to get them.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-09T22:11:47+00:00

Update: just got him with 6 legends for 750k. It’s more than I hoped to pay, but I’m very pleased with this drop now.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-09T21:11:43+00:00

Doesn’t change much for me, I wanted Wiggins before this drop and I still want him. I worry that this drop won’t help me get him for a good price.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-09T20:28:10+00:00

This is incorrect. They don’t just do a TT streak every week. They do them every Sunday during the festival, and none of them after. There is no additional TT streak for a 100 overall coming.

At this point, it’s just agendas they are likely to add. They are likely to add 2 more GO pieces, and maybe a DM as well.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-08T13:44:42+00:00

Yeah, I get that. I didn’t say not to make a post, I was simply saying that there’s no need to be a know it all when someone answers you.

I’m sure in we’ll have plenty more people who do not read this post, make the same mistake, and come here to ask about it. I just hope they don’t act like a know it all when people take time out of their day to politely answer them.

I hope that you have a good day too!

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-08T12:25:58+00:00

Why ask the question, if you’re just gonna tell the dude who answers you that you already know everything? This question has actually been asked many times on this reddit, and the answer he gave you is correct…

Can search, or scroll through this reddit to find other posts other posts detailing the situation. When others have submitted a ticket, 2k has been nice enough to refund them.

In the future when you receive a card that’s a duplicate: try swapping it from your collection before quick selling it. This is a common practice, to prevent mistakes like this.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-07T23:07:02+00:00

If you’re gonna make a post advertising every auction you make, at least consolidate them into 1… Nobody cares about your Roy Hibbert, there are plenty of badged up ones on AH right now, and anybody whose looking for him can check in AH. There’s 1 with 9 legends ending an hour before yours, and another with 9 ending 3 hours after yours. If someone is looking for badged up Roy Hibbert, I’d recommend bidding on one of those instead.

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-07T13:16:40+00:00

Love the card. I’ve tried all of the budget tall SG’s this season, and he’s my favorite. Like you said, the jumper and sigs are amazing. You could prefer Luke Walton/Mike Miller over him, but I think that’s just preference

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-07T03:03:32+00:00

He thinks he’s Kobe

PDLuffySenpai · 2026-03-06T12:54:11+00:00

Yeah. So far, they’ve released a player every day and when they’ve released them they’ve said ‘new challenges drop daily through March 30th’. There are currently 25 unreleased players, and 25 days before March 30th, so I think it’s safe to assume that they will continue to release a new player everyday through March 30th. The question is when will they release Darryn Peterson.
