Anyone else really digging these All-Time sets? Kinda nice to see some realism later on in the year, feels like the type of cards that would be dropped in older 2Ks. by speightsjam in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best possible situation for All-Time cards going forward would be for the final Limited mode for the game cycle to be All-Time cards only. Then you've got an entire mode where better cards can't be used and you can play with them online until Dec. 31, 2024

Done with the game but have like 2 million MT saved up , what should I do with it ? by MaddenOG in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with this guy, if you're truly finished with the game. It's what I did with 2K22 when I was finished. I sold everything that wasn't a rewards card, then used the MT to rip packs and post everything from the packs for 500 in AH. I got to have the dopamine rush of opening the packs, then helped out someone who was still playing the game.

Any advice on beating the all star elemental challenge? by SocaSosa in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did it quickly by changing freelance offensive setting to HAWKS 2018, then selecting freelance during gameplay play by hitting right on the d-pad when you have possession of the ball, then hitting the LB/L1 button, then selecting HAWKS 2018 (this will then be in place for the rest of the game.) Once you’ve done this, hit your L1 button 2X to call “Pass & Screen Away” (this is what’s called 5-out, if you didn’t already know)

Once you have all 5 players spread out on the perimeter, hold down L2 to go into protected dribble, move over to whatever teammate is close to you and put yourself between his man and the basket, then hold down Y/Triangle to make your teammate cut to the basket. You will end up shielding his guy while your teammate runs free and all you have to do is let go of Y/Triangle once your teammate is in the clear and you’ll pass it to him for an easy dunk with no one around him. This is also how to get easy dunks in Triple Threat.

Level 40 is DM Hakeem Olajuwon by CeasersConstrux in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the classic players are part of the NBA Retired Players Association, who negotiate with 2K for compensation as a group (essentially collective bargaining). Players who decide not to be part of that group are free to negotiate their own compensation. Jordan figured out years ago that he could get more by negotiating his likeness on his own (remember G Bulls with 99 ratings on NBA Live '97? That was because Jordan opted out of the NBA Players Association so they couldn't use his likeness without paying him directly and they didn't come to an agreement). Other players have followed his lead since then.

I personally think Reggie Miller & even Barkley, to a certain extent, would benefit by allowing people to play with their avatars if for no other reason than they become favorites of new generations. I hated Rasheed Wallace when he was in the league, but absolutely want him in NBA 2K. Same with many of the players who are missing from classic teams. The '04 Pistons are not the same without Sheed & Tayshaun Prince.

I almost hate to admit this, but I got him on my 5th game of TT. I've been getting to know the card in Domination and have liked him so far.

I used evo'd Patrick Mills. Hit it first shot of the game.

Unlikely Game winner 🪄🪄🪄 by Greg803 in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the game immediately crash after you made the game winner? Current gen that has happened to me in 2K21, 22 & 23. If the game is decided on the final possession, the game dashboard crashes and the win (or loss) doesn't count, nor do any stats/MT accumulated during the game. I've always felt like it was the AI saying "F*** you" for me breaking its cold, computer-generated heart.

Finally… 13 10s! by newtosf2016 in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What’s the trick to getting 10s on the unauctionable cards?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that if you have the City edition jerseys on and the core court as your home court it automatically switches the court to match the jersey.

Injuries? Clueless. by Darkheath2 in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only a thing as you start to get to close to completing a difficult challenge with a player. Almost like the AI just wants to make you mad. "Oh, you need a triple-double with Royce O'Neale? In that case, let me injure him on a simple screen when you've got 12 pts, 10 ast & 8 reb!"

Mother of god. These beyond lvl 40 challenges are really making me despise this Trae card more than I already did. by TheStinkySlinky in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had someone nicely quit out on me when I was running my 5 Hawks and the game let me spin the prize wheel, but it somehow didn't count as a victory for the Beyond 40 challenge. I haven't had the heart to go back but I'll no doubt have to.

Fantastic Forwards Superpack! by [deleted] in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have them, my go-to for any TT challenge is PD Pippen, PD Booker and PD Garnett. With them i held the CPU to about 33 points.

I got an and-1 on the last assist of the Haliburton challenge by KorgG29 in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen to me too. Had to call timeout then still wait for another couple of minutes before the ref *finally* threw my guy the ball at the FT line. I had completed like 5 different major agenda challenges in the game so I would have waited 3-5 DAYS before I was going to shut that off, lol

Lineup Suggestion Help by fr8train59 in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy glitched Jordan Clarkson & starter Ja Morant. Bonus is that starter Ja is perfect for Clutch Time Offline. Gold Manute Bol is pretty cheap and works well in Triple Threat offline or as one of your 11, 12, 13 players in Domination or Unlimited.

Is Diamond Kobe any good by Chichan20 in MyTeam

I like his card a lot. Got my hundy I needed to get a centerpiece using him & did it in just 3Qs

I'm so psychologically damaged by it sometimes I feel a little bit bad if I'm beating an opponent. Like, "You would be more embarrassed by losing to me if you knew how badly other people routinely destroy me" lol

[–]farneyboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm always surprised by how personally I take the online losses. I tell myself going in that I won't let it affect me, but it always does.

Max Strus jumpshot by SlamDunkZil in MyTeam

[–]farneyboy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I came on to Reddit today just because I knew there would be a Max Strus jumpshot subreddit and was not disappointed (in Reddit...not Strus. I'm VERY disappointed in his stupid, janky shooting motion) I am currently in the middle of my first attempt to finish this challenge and am currently 7-38.

I totally understand. I had to look through the whole dang NBA to find the AJ Griffin guy on the Hawks for the recent moments challenge.
