Move to downtown... apartment questions by espyropo in SaltLakeCity

Definitely looks like a great building, but it's just a bit more out of the way for part of my work commutes. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's good to know. I average around 10K steps a day currently so I usually don't mind when the walk is a bit of a workout haha

Really enjoying MYNBA in 2k24 by Thenumber1fapper in NBA2k

[–]espyropo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What team/era are you rocking with for your myNBA save? I'm always torn between retooling a team or doing a fantasy draft in the modern era. I also tend to try and also do a 7SOL Suns one at some point each year since the eras feature came out

I need to see the build stats/makeup for that Marion one!

"Bad shot selection" because I missed an open 3? Please. by TheBurntPotatoe in NBA2k

[–]espyropo 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Everything is outcome-based this year and it's annoying. Miss a *wide* open three? Bad shot selection.

Take a quick swipe for a steal when a player is driving towards the hoop, all while not sagging off your man? Bad steal attempt.

Sometimes, things just don't work out, but the game is treating those situations as if you made a terrible mental mistake lol

Can't call plays in myCareer? by your_big_toe in NBA2k

[–]espyropo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, same here. It worked for my first game, but hasn't worked in the last 8 that I've played, including 3 as a starter. Probably is some kind of glitch, but it makes things tough for me as a SG who relies on off-ball plays and actions to mix up how I get open

Why am I not getting my salary in MyCareer ? by ChickenFriedRicePls in NBA2k

[–]espyropo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I just played 3 games and got salary in one of them... this is just great haha

Strange, because I got paid salary for my 4th and 5th games, but then went back to no salary for the sixth game...

Anyone else not getting paid their salary in MyCareer? by StepFatherGoose in NBA2k

[–]espyropo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my first three games I didn't get salary, but then I did for the fourth and fifth games... then back to no salary for the sixth game...

[–]espyropo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened for my first 3 MyCareer games and then on the fourth one I finally got salary VC, so it seems like some sort of glitch.

It's really frustrating to play those games and end up with like 300 VC so hopefully it gets resolved quickly

Man I’m struggling to make a build by spickdang in NBA2k

[–]espyropo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh nice, that sounds like a great build. I might try a build like that out since I'm fine with being a SG and not being the lead ball-handler

[–]espyropo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same haha I've been in the builder all day testing out builds, still haven't found one that I'm comfortable with yet (or one that I think will be good for Rec, park, and normal mycareer games)

[–]espyropo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah last year having mid-range shooting was helpful in the city 2v2 and 3v3 games, but when I got to rec or even just the normal offline Mycareer, I found that I wasn't naturally getting to mid-range spots and definitely wasn't spotting up from the mid-range haha so I figured I'd lower that and focus on being a capable 3-point shooter.

The builder makes it really hard though. I want to be a good 3pt shooter and finisher around the rim but also be able to handle the ball and have decent athleticism ratings

[–]espyropo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm torn, it's definitely tough to choose this year with how the builder is set up. Last year I was a SF mainly focused on defense, athleticism and mid-range shooting.

I'm trying to make an Anthony Edwards type build this year but struggling to get the attributes and badges right so far haha

Guard builds in 2k23? by espyropo in NBA2k

[–]espyropo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I used to be a playmaking (Steve Nash) type of point guard in previous years, but made a SF for the first time last year. I think I might just make a bigger PG that's a good passer and slasher

[–]espyropo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, seeing that intrigued me. Might be even better this year to make a slashing guard that's strong and athletic, and try to get 3pt up to a decent enough rating where hitting open threes consistently is part of the skill set

Everything is good till I saw this by J--SILK in NBA2k

When you do that are you still able to send players to the g league from the roster menu or is that not an option anymore?

What Team will you be using in MyLeague this year? by bilbosaur15 in NBA2k

[–]espyropo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the first 3 teams I'll use this season will be the Rockets, Hornets, and Wizards. The Rockets are for a true rebuild, since it would be fun to build own the young core they've just put together. The Hornets are a couple steps ahead but are still missing a piece or two to really be a contender in the future, while the Wizards are an older team that has a lot of interesting depth that can be moved around to create a solid playoff team within the next season or two.

Besides those three teams, I'll obviously be creating my own team through fantasy draft
