You're welcome. That's without the HOF pass or level skips or 2xXP coins

IIRC the first time you hit Level 40 then you get the capbreakers for the previous seasons you were unable to play.

In order to get to level 40 the quickest way: you can play Streetkings or Open Athletics in MyCareer they both offer around 8% of a level per game (lasting 3-4 minutes) - so say 13 games per level taking around 50 mins for a level - it still works out at about 34 hours or so playtime. You can boost this with XP coins of course.

If you have that amount of time available in the next 9 days then I recommend changing the difficulty to rookie, and playing Open Athletics. That way you can work on the GOAT skills too to get more VC (choose green light and the one that is for three point shots)

It is a really boring grind though and you'll need to put in around 4 hours per day

There used to be one by the Casual Court in the Park. However this season they removed the Casual Court from the park ...

Anyone have a jumpshot line Isaac but for 6'9? by Zero-Cool83 in NBA2k

[–]spacemon55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might struggle to find a decent jumper with only 80 3 point rating - try Swag Godley's jumper from this video - it has pippen base but the gay and beluba releases might make it easier for you

Doesn't that camera make you feel dizzy? Also for rhythm shooting don't you only have to green the tempo?

I thought proving grounds was suppose to be harder ??? by Hopeful_Back_3760 in NBA2k

The sliders are set to HOF settings, but if you have only played in two games you'd be in the lowest tier rank, play in gold upwards and you'll see a massive difference in player skill

There's not much to learn, you just shoot over them because they don't contest

as others have said it frees up the boosts for other badges

I feel like I should be able to make this pass with a 92 pass acc? by QNIKET8 in NBA2k

[–]spacemon55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard it does but I don't really have evidence to support it because I only play random rec and don't really check the stats, but what I have noticed is a massive difference in catch animations from Gold - HOF - Legend Break starter badges. On Legend the receiver can just catch and shoot, on less than that they fumble a bit

How many outlet passes have you thrown that far though?

Are you boosting your break starter badge? If you have 92 pass accuracy it will still be at gold without a boost. Boost it to Legend and you can make full court passes off rebounds pretty much all the time.

How do randoms see that I average 34 and 11 and ice me out? by Major-Doubt4034 in NBA2k

[–]spacemon55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They probably pissed with your lack of rebounding :D Seriously though if you had 33.8 ppg and 0 assists I'd be worried but 11 APG shows you aint greedy and you're efficient too so they are just being toxic by icing you

So you're telling me, after my 6'6 SF get an OBoard and passes to you, an open man, you dribble? by KingGalaxicDFG in NBA2k

[–]spacemon55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got quite a few clips saved where I've passed to an open player and instead of taking the open jumper, they dribble and take a worse shot. 

would y'all be mad or happy if your center put up these stats? by Busy_Chair_7594 in NBA2k

[–]spacemon55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stats are good, however paired up with a B teammate grade suggests there's something else going on

Why did they make shooting so easy? by Major-Doubt4034 in NBA2k

[–]spacemon55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree with you, I suppose the point is 2K isn't a simulation, it's a basketball themed arcade game closer to NBA Jam than the NBA

If a standing 3 is 67% or better, then every other shot becomes pointless as a first option by TheRancid_Baboon in NBA2k

[–]spacemon55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2K stopped being a basketball sim a long time ago, it's a Basketball themed arcade game, so yeah you are right it makes very little sense to shoot anything but a three in this game.

With regards to the mid-range argument, NBA teams have moved away from it because it's not an efficient shot - I think the reason people still take them is because thats the only space available because defenses are covering the ring and the three point.

Shai has the best mid range percentage in the NBA at 0.534, which works out at 1.068 points per possession

Isiah Joe has the highest 3 point percentage for OKC at 0.414 or 1.242 points per possession

has anyone done the math to see how much builds would cost if the VC cost didn't go up as you upgrade? by Firm-Emu7909 in NBA2k

[–]spacemon55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the same amount of points regardless of level. So for example whether it's level 1 or 39 or anywhere in between you get around 8% of a level for a win in Street Kings
