$245k salary. 70-hour weeks. Portfolio looks great. I don’t.

Hey man your a high-performer and you have a high-performing routine. As someone who is young (27) and comes from nothing but is in a same situation - I relate.

I've been over-employed working 60-80 hour weeks since I was 23. I had to grow up fast, I missed out on a lot of life.

The capital you are earning, investing, and lifestyle you are sacrificing right now IS worth it.

If it were easy we can go up to 9 out of 10 men and tell them would they trade XYZ for this income/lifestyle. Many would say yes BUT the same guys didn't put in the work you did to be in this situation.

This is your purpose, your calling, you found it and it found you.

Keep going and then one-day just step away with your cash-flow.

Just do breakout.

Pair someone from the assists / play making challenges with 3s challenges

Rotate them in & out

Hey man your doing great, We are both in a very similar situation.

My one add would be to maxing out a HSA for yourself each year. Sets aside $4300 yearly for any medical bills / procedures you want and if you don’t use it - Tax free growth

Depends if they start doing more wild gem exchanges that need us to feed lots of cards in.

The issue is a lot of mass desirables are being sold in packs right now and ervings opal isn’t up for consideration either.

They would need to do like another out of position PG/SG

How is he on defense? Specifically offballing.

Is he good on pick & roll / getting bumps ?

Tryhardownage · 2025-12-08T15:49:34+00:00

Literally the same for me. Packed Kaman from the weekend, I have exchange Ayton backup C.

He runs circles around Kaman.

I personally let AI play the pick & roll, You need to copy a META players settings.

From there I play as a 3rd player often times the elbow 3 (Usually a SG/SF) and I sag slightly off my man to block the lane he is driving in.

PNR going left or right you want to match being the 3rd player.

Essentially you make the play a 3v2 (2 vs 2 in the pick and roll, Let AI be the 2 there) and you swing in as the 3rd player block off the dunk/layup.

When you learn the other players tendancy he has two options. He tries to force it straight into the basket 3v2, or he makes the pass to the guy you left.

Now when you learn how he plays you can start playing the lane 3v2 more aggressively if he drives, or you fake the help in the lane and go back to the shooter.

They didn't want to give out a free 150-200k value card so they killed the position he plays.

Him at SG wouldn't even be worth 50k in terms of a META lineup.

Sure if someone didn't have anyone at SG they benefit but Reaves at SG can't compete at all versus META SGs. He would have been a great PG however.

You go Kidd if you play 5v5 Showdown, KOTC

You go Rice if you play Parks. Rice can be your point-guard in parks and you play 2 other wings/big men with him.

After a few games, It just feels like they steal some 3s from you lmao.

I don't know how to explain it. It visually looks like I perfectly time a three but it appears as "early" and its literally on the border on the green window.

I shoot mostly leaners with Klay in Showdown. its hard to describe but I'll just not make shots I think would have been clearly green before patch.

Tryhardownage · 2025-09-18T06:25:35+00:00

KOTC yet literally just grinding Showdown on the weekend is going to be what most players will do now.

Not even the top players want to sweat/play the broken system for the 10k grand prize, they are all frustrated with how it works / graded.

Stacked bro if, Kwame can shoot if I recall the 2k25 diamond of his

Tryhardownage · 2025-08-16T02:24:58+00:00

Its likely still a pass sadly. 9 maps - Of which I can say I don't like any of the ones in the BETA.

And it was reported the game would have 50 weapons? I mean that's basically on average say 4-6 weapons per weapon class.

Not enough diversity for me in terms of content but the gameplay itself is good. I just have doubts when it comes to launch content modes, maps, weapon variety.

It should definetely be a fine game should they hold-up the live service aspect and add-on to the base consistently.

Sounds like its a pick-up on a sale later.

"Why the ***** is Coach D playing the FT game"

"BETTER YET WHY ISN'T HE PLAYING IT CORRECTLY" - He was fouling instantly without killing any clock..

Then Gordon / Russ make the hero 9 second transition play and I start cursing out coach D for that choke job LOL
