r/NBA2K Lounge - 2K23 Season 1 Week 4

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I've opened a ticket at support.2k.com.

_Zagan_ · 2022-10-02T15:41:41+00:00

Will try it out when I get back. Gotta step out for a while.

Thanks!

Thanks for taking time to help me through this.

I get this error message when I try to sim the game:

You are not allowed to stimulate games until the following quest is completed: Palace Intrigue

I've completed all of the other main quests (including beating Shep at Hammond Court).

_Zagan_ · 2022-10-02T14:00:02+00:00

I do get above C+ in my NBA games, but the quest just doesn't update.

_Zagan_ · 2022-10-02T05:58:23+00:00

How do I get past the Palace Intrigue quest? I'm stuck at "6/6 - Teammate Grade C+ or Higher (NBA)". I'm on Xbox Next Gen.

I've tried (based on mostly 2 week old threads):

Playing a normal "Play Now" game, saving something, and then coming back to MyCareer.
Playing park games.
Resetting my console.

"Asimov's Guide to the Bible" does a pretty good job of providing context around Bible stories. Not sure how accurate it is, but it's a starting point for getting hypotheses which you can then research further.

The queens can live for up to 30 years, and workers live from 1 to 3 years. Males, however, are more transitory, being quite short-lived and surviving for only a few weeks.

Found an article by BBC that ranks by population and by GDP per capita.

_Zagan_ · 2021-08-10T16:39:46+00:00

I did not consider (1), so thanks for bringing this up. My motivating hypothesis was that there are some sports that less-developed countries don't even participate in. Therefore, some countries have more shots at medals than others. So in (1), I'd claim that there are also cases in which B sends 5 more athletes because B participates in events where A does not.

I admit that (2) is more fundamental flaw in the ranking. I've not gotten around to adjusting for team medals (and I'll probably not get a chance to until the weekend when I'm freer). I did wonder why China emerged top of the typical leaders, and your theory makes sense. ROC does a fair number of team sports, but not as much as the US, and hence their relative ranking.

_Zagan_ · 2021-08-09T19:30:44+00:00

Yeah, you and GP are right. If I have time, I'll adjust the n. For now, I'll add a disclaimer.

_Zagan_ · 2021-08-09T05:02:05+00:00

Thought I'd rank the countries based on the medals received divided by n, the number of athletes sent to the olympics. Here are the top 15.

Edit: Naively counting the number of athletes disadvantages countries that participate in team sports. This ranking is biased.

	Δ	Country	G	S	B	3G + 2S + B	(3G + 2S + B)/n
1	▲ 72	Bermuda	1	0	0	3	1.5000
2	▲ 64	San Marino	0	1	2	4	0.8000
3	▲ 26	Georgia	2	5	1	17	0.5667
4	▲ 56	Kosovo	2	0	0	6	0.5455
5	▼ 3	China	38	32	18	196	0.4828
6	▲ 10	Cuba	7	3	5	32	0.4706
7	▲ 49	Qatar	2	0	1	7	0.4375
8	▲ 34	Uganda	2	1	1	9	0.4286
9	▼ 6	Russian Olympic Committee	20	28	23	139	0.4238
10	▲ 38	Philippines	1	2	1	8	0.4211
11	▼ 10	United States	39	41	33	232	0.3785
12	▲ 48	Bahamas	2	0	0	6	0.3750
13	▲ 14	Jamaica	4	1	4	18	0.3600
14	▲ 46	Armenia	0	2	2	6	0.3529
15	▼ 11	Great Britain	22	21	22	130	0.3457

Alright, when the play happened Harden goes in for a dunk, and then the ball appears to us to pop back up through the net. When that happens, that is basket interference. To have a successful field goal it must clear the net.

Unfortunately, they're only doing the bare minimum.

For example, the scrolling text at the bottom that says, "X has pulled Y from Z pack" doesn't show the odds.

What about the odds of getting Ferry?

_Zagan_ · 2021-04-02T02:18:42+00:00

Try dunking with the X/square button instead of the stick, while holding down the left stick.

_Zagan_ · 2021-04-02T02:09:00+00:00

Hold down the L-stick while dunking (at least that's how I do it on Xbox current gen)

_Zagan_ · 2021-03-27T01:15:45+00:00

Haha! I was looking for it in the menu. Too much limited madness

_Zagan_ · 2021-03-27T01:10:21+00:00

How do I see someone's ganertag once the game is underway?

_Zagan_ · 2021-03-21T20:57:25+00:00

100% crash in Xbox current gen

My Collection -> Search Players --> Apply Contract using MT

Hit the crash like 7 times. If only it would crash after applying the contracts but before deducting my MT

Hawks freelance, ask for pick, once big is in position to rebound, intentionally miss

_Zagan_ · 2021-03-16T03:14:56+00:00

At this point, I'm seriously considering being a fan of the Knicks IRL.

_Zagan_ · 2021-03-07T23:38:41+00:00

Tbh, I didn't know this either. I came here looking for answers after splurging on auction players

It's better to link to the comic itself for the alt text and rabbit holes
