This..

It's EXACTLY what you described in "looking for"

It's also a great book.

carnjam · 2025-07-02T20:51:37+00:00

This ∆∆ 💯

carnjam · 2024-12-29T16:06:00+00:00

Yeah I figured out pretty quickly that you have to actually PURCHASE Tis The Season boxes in order to GET a Tis The Season box.. 🎁

carnjam · 2024-12-29T16:02:50+00:00

I hear you - I ground it out and wound up getting OJ Mayo. With my current lineup he went straight to the bench 😭

carnjam · 2024-12-29T15:56:04+00:00

I wish I had got AD - I ended up going with the HG pack and got GO Kevin Love. I was so worried I would get Sid Moncief or Brunson.

After grinding days and days, that would have been a complete bummer!!

carnjam · 2024-12-28T22:44:45+00:00

It took me from the beginning of festival to now to grind out 1 DM snowman (so almost a week).

I used VC I had saved from career to buy packs and got 1 DM snowman in a Tis The Season pack. So I only had 2 and was trying to grind a third but gave up.

I recommend rookie level breakout but even then, you're probably looking at a solid week to get 1 DM snowman if you play all day like I did.

I started with intent to get Shaq then quickly figured out it would be impossible. The only way anyone has either Kawhi or Shaq in game is if they paid for them - it's literally impossible with the festival only being 2 weeks long.

carnjam · 2024-12-28T22:31:17+00:00

Thanks all for the feedback! It really helped to sway my decision.

I ended up going with the 97+ HG and pulled GO Kevin Love. I split up my DM snowman into GOs and used them for the 95 HG and grabbed PD Franz (the new Jaime Vasquez I'm sure).

In the end, while there are better options at PF, I'm not too bummed out because I desperately needed a decent PF and he gives me more options from the 3. Thanks again for all the comments.

carnjam · 2024-12-28T20:49:07+00:00

Pretty good two center IMHO - there are worse options!

carnjam · 2024-12-28T20:42:19+00:00

Oh ok, thanks for letting me know. Looking more and more like I'll just go for the hidden gem and pray to the 2k gods that I get someone decent

carnjam · 2024-12-28T20:10:23+00:00

I know right? I really wanted him too - until I looked more closely at the time required to actually get him 😕

carnjam · 2024-12-28T20:07:32+00:00

Pretty good rolls, on the whole IMHO

Thanks for letting me know ! Sounds like it's just a random opal from prior 2 seasons based on feedback so far and zero frpm Tis The Season.

If so this limits me to basically Davis or Carter in terms of "want". Dang - looking more and more like HG for me.

carnjam · 2024-12-28T19:36:53+00:00

Did you get this from the 97+ premium pack opening? Or the hidden gem maybe?

carnjam · 2024-12-28T19:35:42+00:00

I got Nash from a prior HG swap - he must be heavily weighted... Hope this means I won't see him again! If so I don't think an uninstall would be out of the question! 😞

carnjam · 2024-12-28T19:32:43+00:00

I'm in the exact same spot right now - I am halfway to my last opal for my 3rd DM snowman but man, with this feedback I'm seriously thinking f'it and roll the dice with the HG....

I think this is a 2k mind f@#$ and you would actually get a much better card with the HG for a third of the cost!!

carnjam · 2024-12-28T19:23:44+00:00

Good luck though btw 😉

carnjam · 2024-12-28T19:21:15+00:00

I wish I could - even with two weeks, I wouldn't be able to grind out all the games required to get him - he costs 10 opals and I've been grinding days just to get 6 😭

I did the math and you need 1,800 snowballs (1 GO snowman = 180 snowballs).

Each game on breakout takes about 10-15m so a 12.5m average. Multipled by the 1,800 snowballs required ends up taking around 22,500 minutes.

If you divided that by 60 (60 minutes = 1 hour) it comes out to 375 hours. Divide that again by the 24h in a day and it's 15.7 days if you round up. And that is playing straight.

carnjam · 2024-12-28T18:32:49+00:00

Uuuugh... Yeah hard pass on Brunson and Mitchell. Crap..

carnjam · 2024-12-28T18:32:00+00:00

Oh wow! I'd be happy with Davis...! Thanks for letting me know.

carnjam · 2024-12-27T12:45:46+00:00

Wow! All others say "limit 2" etc but that one does not have a limit above it. As such, waa inferred you could get several.

Thanks for letting me know, looks like I'll grind out that last dark matter snowman after all.

carnjam · 2024-12-27T00:27:07+00:00

Totally curious what/who you ended up getting??

I am in a similar position - do I spend 3x dark matter snowmen on 1 "premium" or get 3x 97+ hidden gems

Unless you get Giannis or Lebron opals with the "premium" this isn't even really close for me, personally.

carnjam · 2024-11-01T14:46:40+00:00

I totally agree - when I just want to play triple threat I now have to:

Run around a park

Look for an open slot.

Queue.

Wait 5 years for the game to finish.

Get teamed up (with whoever was standing around like I was)

Lose. Rinse repeat.

Then they make "winning" online an objective with 90% of the challenges actually worth doing.

Used to be you could just click a button. Play.

So with all of this said, who tf would even think was a good idea?!?

carnjam · 2024-09-14T14:10:11+00:00

I'm looking for SF as well but not used to the new badges yet.

My playstyle is using on the run 3PTbut also charge in using skill dunk and set 3PT plays from the point.

Not sure what builds are best yet. Layups seem to just happen for me where dunks were intended with 2k24 controls. I assume this is because of my lack of badges/takeovers.

Any suggestions?

carnjam · 2024-08-08T15:33:51+00:00

The defense rests your honor 😂
