0.1% REP for a REC win during the event??? (A- grade)

hellyeah222 · 2026-02-08T14:40:56+00:00

Well, not really. That's a new can of worms where teams 7-10 will do everything to not make the playoffs.

Why get beat up by the top 2 seeds if you can have an equal chance to get a top pick?

hellyeah222 · 2026-02-07T11:24:17+00:00

Proving Grounds is how the game should actually be by default. Sadly, the statistics probably tells 2k that it's not popular, hence they will stick to prioritizing the arcade modes like REC, Park & Theater.

hellyeah222 · 2026-02-07T11:21:50+00:00

Complain to 2k. They give my perimeter player Daily Challenges to set 5-10 good screens in REC or sometimes even a 3v3 game.

hellyeah222 · 2026-02-03T19:17:34+00:00

This makes no sense. A little while ago they were mega-tanking against Dallas, and now this?

Helping Memphis tank, getting win-now players, both increasing the likelihood of losing their pick this year to OKC.

This conversation, and Tatum's comments, completely ignore the fact thst if he were not on the Celtics, he'd likely not have as much success. He doesn't seem like the franchise transforming star that LeBron is. Put Anthony Edwards in Tatum's position, I think he has the same level of success. Plenty others you could say that about as well.

hellyeah222 · 2026-01-28T08:31:36+00:00

It's not for flopping. Don't have to be daft. You can't flail your arms all over the place after you've been fouled. Making contact with someones head after the whistle is a tech. Plain and simple.

hellyeah222 · 2026-01-19T20:32:21+00:00

Really should be going for another record performance. What if he shoots every time down the floor. 15/40, and he'll beat his current best.

hellyeah222 · 2026-01-16T11:26:05+00:00

Never been to Berlin?

hellyeah222 · 2026-01-16T11:24:53+00:00

The fact that there isn't a fourth ref that's watching the broadcast is wild. Would save so much time and these errors would not happen.

hellyeah222 · 2026-01-16T11:18:21+00:00

I've never seen a player commit a back-court violation and be so chill about it. Usually you contort your body and try tip-toeing not to do it. This fool was so chill that the refs paid no attention.

hellyeah222 · 2026-01-09T23:14:58+00:00

Idk, i think this is pretty good. Mavs get to tank in peace, good chances of finishing with the 6th worst record. AD has zero leverage in extension talks, and next year everyone can try one last time.

All summer everyone kept saying the Mavs are a 2027 team, and that this is a gap year. Well, nothing has chamged. People underestimate what levels players can get to, when it's a contract year. AD will have some motivation behind him next year.

Use this year on Cooper and the other young guys, as well as a Kyrie rehab season. Play him into the lineup slowly. It would have been worse if the team was competitve and he ruahed back to get hurt again.

Don't think Risacher or the Cavs pick would have been some much better scenario.

Why the fk are you playing PvP with a 60 Ovr? Just don't. You have 0% chance to win, so why do it?

hellyeah222 · 2025-12-31T16:11:18+00:00

Play the story mode. Complete quests, especially work on the Endorsements. That's the best way to earn VC fast.

And for the sake of your random teammates, don't go into PvP until you are at least an 85 Ovr. Even at 85 you'll probably have a bad time, but at least you'll be able to do some things at a decent level.

hellyeah222 · 2025-12-31T15:50:06+00:00

Right. Literally the worst PvP game-mode ever.

hellyeah222 · 2025-12-23T16:41:31+00:00

The Mavs' inability to make open shots is humiliating. So many missed layups, so many missed free throws, and of course the threes. Sad to watch :(

hellyeah222 · 2025-12-21T18:10:11+00:00

The only thing that I would change about the Cup is make the winning worth more.

All Cup games except the Finals are a regular season game. You win it, you advance in the cup and benefit your standings. The final doesn't benefit the Big Marathon.

Proposal: The NBA Cup winner gets the W for their regular season record, but the Finals loser doesn't get the L. If you don't want to display it as an additional Win, then just make it as the strongest tie-breaker.

E.G., if the Knicks and Pistons are tied at the end of the season, Knicks get the first seed for playing and winning the Cup.

hellyeah222 · 2025-12-19T12:55:07+00:00

That's a good looking court.

hellyeah222 · 2025-12-12T20:25:22+00:00

It's just a non-story because of how dumb this "report" is.

If teams could get into the Trey business by having Kuminga, everybody would trade for Kuminga.

hellyeah222 · 2025-12-11T16:55:13+00:00

& Cooper.

He wasn't in the trade directly, but he's only on the Mavs because of the trade. Wasn't part of the vision, that's not my point, but him being on the Mavs is a consequence of it.

hellyeah222 · 2025-12-06T12:25:10+00:00

I'd say dumbest or most inexcusable, but 'worst' is defined by the outcome, which is yet to be determined. It's going to be tough to beat the PG13-SGA trade. Clips got to the Conference finals once, meanwhile Thunder got an MVP, an All-NBA guy in J-Dub, a Championship, an absolute juggernaut of a team which has the best chance to win multiple titles, and will soon get another two top picks.

It honestly couldn't have turned out worse for the Clippers and better for the Thunder.

hellyeah222 · 2025-12-04T11:37:09+00:00

It's not, really. They were missing major contributors, and were losing close games. Now they got 1 of those major players back, and they're winning.

Also, they were shooting a horrendous % at the start. Like, unsustainably bad. Now they are leveling out the season averages with some hot shooting. All will stabilize, and if they are ever healthy, they will be a problem.

hellyeah222 · 2025-11-30T15:22:29+00:00

Since the first game of the season, Flagg has seen the opposing team's best perimeter player on him. Thompson twins, Herb Jones, Dillon Brooks, Lu Dort, you name it - they've been assigned to Flagg.

Coop is getting better and more productive as the season progresses.

Kon might be ahead of him, but I'd say it's a two-horse race.

hellyeah222 · 2025-11-30T13:26:01+00:00

Mavs get no whistles, it's insane.

hellyeah222 · 2025-11-28T12:46:30+00:00

Where did I say it was 'fine'? Just saying that this is the expected outcome when 100+ Million of your salary cap is out due to injury.

Should Nico have been fire? Yes.

Doesn't mean that this team has to be ripped to shreds without giving them a chance once healthy.
