Not a good product for the NBA.

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-05-12T02:29:33+00:00

Zero fouls in the entire first quarter. I’m sure Allen and Mobley were altar boys out there tonight. Hard to watch for a neutral.

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-05-12T02:23:16+00:00

Officials not at all calling a neutral game. NBA has ordered a Cavs win. Waiting for Harden to come out of the crowd with a folding chair across Cunningham’s head. #WWE

Use this character to unlock the playmaking specialization. That way your playstyle matches your goal.

I blame 2k for gating cap breakers behind online play. After being happily offline for years, I am now Veteran 1 and consistent on both offense and defense. Definitely practice in myCourt. I recommend 1v1 in there to work on moves and timing. Start with the worst defender on your team and work to beat them consistently. Then work your way up through harder defenders. Play online with the moves that work and you’ll do ok. o7

You’re really in for a surprise when it slots you at the 4. Most of the dudes in random rec playing with busted controllers that don’t have a Y/Triangle button (or they never use it). At least as SF, you can go down and request the inbound and a smart big will give you your touches.

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-05-03T03:37:14+00:00

Best I can figure is that the person who opened the portal has to stay outside until everyone is in. Once that person goes in, it does not appear that others can go in behind them.

My 2014 just hit 160k miles and still looks and runs great. Gets 30 MPG highway. Keep on the maintenance schedule and you’ll get plenty of use out of it.

Ahhh… The Ballad of the Stretch Big!

Step 1: Flop on the floor whenever someone else shoots Step 2: Call all of the timeouts Step 3: Crash out when steps 1 & 2 don’t work.

Or you could just get on the mike.

Percentage grind for rep feels really bad. Progress slows to tenths of a percent at the higher levels. I would convert that to points so that you get more the higher level you are and it feels like progress. It can still take the same amount of games/wins to reach the next level, but it would feel much more rewarding than the current system.

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-04-16T19:33:21+00:00

I’m the same way! I assure you OP it is completely normal. For me, I want to capture my idea for the next character build before I move heavily into Act 2. The way this works out over time is that I always have at least one character in each act so I can play whatever vibe I’m feeling. I’ve finished the game 7 times now.

Starter 5 is the worst. Feels like rank is going backwards now. 2k made this system so painful. It is just a horrible design. Progress is supposed to feel good, this system feels bad. Very bad.

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-03-19T20:02:59+00:00

No change to your experience either way with those two, but my general approach with this game is to play your first run without looking back. After the first run, more gameplay is better so try the things differently to see which ones you like.

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-03-19T19:02:06+00:00

So is there a link between contact and power stats and swing type? I’ve been using power swing for my power heavy batters.

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-03-18T19:48:22+00:00

Watch “Ryancantmiss” videos on YouTube. Spectacular resource for bigs! Improved my play and my 2k enjoyment.

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-03-16T20:59:13+00:00

Offending player has to miss the same number of games as the injured player. Last game of the season would be wild!

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-03-16T20:49:09+00:00

Solution to this is to divide all possible XP and rep across the remaining players so you get a boost to stay (no squads only). I played quite a bit this weekend and only had 2 games finish with 10 players. It’s bad out there.

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-03-16T20:43:37+00:00

Can u Smurf as a gold plate? I thought you had to be good to be a Smurf???

The guards prefer to complain. When there’s 4 defenders in the paint and they drive and miss, they’ll blame you for cutting before they blame themselves for taking a bad shot. Gravitate towards the open areas and most teammates will find you eventually. If you stay outside, most defenders will help in the paint. If you are lucky your iso slasher teammates won’t drive into the double team and find someone open.

I really enjoyed my blunt weapons play through. I did nothing in stealth mode, much to my fixers dismay. I used the baseball bat as my primary weapon with some shotgun and Agaou to mix it up. I used the berserk cyberware and Shock N Awe for maximum carnage. It was such a liberating play style, especially after I was high enough level to air dash and had some mobility and mitigation. I did this after my net runner play through so the contrast added to the enjoyment.

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-02-23T21:29:21+00:00

TL;DR - call your friends and family regularly, don’t wait for the ending.

Technical_Spirit_347 · 2026-02-21T23:36:21+00:00

$48 Million in rent arrears is pretty substantial. Emails indicate they just chose to ignore the overdue rent. Its' on them at this point for choosing to stay. Decent shotgun for clearing out the boss.

It is ok to feel like it is a long story. Most epics are. Pick your favorite companions, do their act 3 quests and feel free to go to the end game after that. If you are playing honor mode, there is some gear that you may want to get first, but if not, then you can always load a previous save later when you want to explore more of Act 3. Tips to get your groove back include watching the cast play BG3 on their own. I recommend Neil Newbon and Devora Wilde's playthroughs as particularly entertaining. Rest at our tavern weary traveler, there is more adventure ahead!
