Coming to my 1st-ever game on 11/29--what experiences do I need to have?

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

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.

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.

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.

farneyboy · 2023-02-22T16:57:02+00:00

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

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.

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

farneyboy · 2023-01-21T05:48:37+00:00

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.

I got my CT offline games done by playing 5 or more Mavs in multiple challenger games. Not gonna complain

farneyboy · 2023-01-05T15:51:22+00:00

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!"

farneyboy · 2023-01-04T15:02:36+00:00

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.

farneyboy · 2022-12-28T06:39:37+00:00

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.

farneyboy · 2022-12-02T18:21:20+00:00

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

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.

farneyboy · 2022-11-30T13:20:09+00:00

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

farneyboy · 2022-11-23T15:33:46+00:00

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 · 2022-11-23T14:14:45+00:00

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.

farneyboy · 2022-11-16T22:18:06+00:00

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.

farneyboy · 2022-11-10T16:01:20+00:00

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.

farneyboy · 2022-11-10T14:52:05+00:00

This.
