Is Xavier McDaniel The Paolo Banchero Killer As The Level 37 Season Reward in NBA2K25 MyTEAM?

[@shadrickalexander271]

I’ve sold all of my top card and used your site to build my team and it’s been helpful mixing some cheaper cards into my lineup

[@synthbangers]

Great to hear that it's helped guided your lineup construction, has that worked out for you? It's definitely moneyballing the 2K content -- always feels great to for me personally to snag a card for 20K like Jeff Green and have it do 90-95% of what a card fetching for 700k+ MT can do.

[@shadrickalexander271]

@ yes it’s been extremely helpful. I know I asked about the scale before but is it possible could you break down the scale according to grade level? Such as 60 = A and so forth

[@synthbangers]

@@shadrickalexander271 I was actually playing around with this the other day -- if I had to make a dynamic meta score to tier list I think it would look roughly like this -- obviously it changes as we get better cards: S Tier (68.13 to 76.27) A Tier (61.33 to 68.12) B Tier (55.68 to 61.33) C Tier (50.97 to 55.67) D Tier (47.04 to 50.96) F Tier (43.75 to 47.03) Anything below that is generally unusable and probably just needed for challenges or exhibitions.

@ this is perfect! Thank you so much

@@shadrickalexander271 Nice, glad to help.

Hey i recently passed 100k mt coins is there any good cards for around that price which you reccomend?

[@synthbangers]

Galaxy Opals are really still in the over 100MT territory, I imagine that changes when Dark Matters eventually saturate the market. I would say look for PD's like Giannis, Evan Mobley, Rajon Rondo, etc around that price -- my real answer is keep stacking your MT to try to land an impactful Galaxy Opal because the Lunar Event and challenges will offer opportunities to earn MT at a faster rate. Grind this season's domination if you haven't already.

[@hazzacricket]

@ thanks man !

[@joethompson7506]

X man is such a good card, does everything at a high level, do you recommend the pd giannis? I've been debating on trying to snag one. Or do you think he is worth 175k-200kmt?

[@Jacob8762]

Wait. All star is right around the corner, get Kwame Brown for the time being he does 90% of what Giannis does and will save you the MT

[@synthbangers]

I've run the PD Giannis for about 90 games since the end of Season 3 when the auction house started crashing. He's still in the top 3 best Pink Diamonds of the game IMHO, right up there with Paul George and Julius Irving. You're going to be sacrificing a bit on the 3-ball and FT, but he does everything else very well. As @Jacob8762 pointed out the card is starting to show its age a little bit, so it might be prudent to see what gets dropped in the upcoming week -- but if you're a Giannis fan and feel like you can recoup the MT quickly enough he's not a bad option at all, he's been solid for me. Some words of advice is that he's a PF/C not SF/PF which is important, so you might want to give the free Bill Walton a go at either of those spots before dropping the MT on a Season 2 card.

[@joethompson7506]

@@synthbangers ok was just wondering cuz I am a fan of giannis and he always plays well in 2k, his player build is op. And was gonna get him for my back up 4 over Camby, dirk is starting 4 and Bill Walton is my starting 5, I got 800k Mt. So I think I'll prob hold off, but I sincerely thank you for your in depth response! Im just a guy tht likes myteam, been playing it since 2k19. Found your channel about a week ago, keep up the great work!

[@synthbangers]

@@joethompson7506 Really appreciate the comment, and you bet we're going to keep this train running.

I'm Not High On Paolo,,I Like Jeff Green alot,,Kwame,Xavier I'll have n few days

[@synthbangers]

Kwame Brown (Steven A's favorite) is the only one I haven't tried out. I hyped up the Jeff Green pretty hard as one of the best value cards in the game. He's literally better than all of the Season 4 Pink Diamonds that have dropped.

[@joshua-25-07]

Who should i start? Pd bron or X man?

[@synthbangers]

That Full Throttle LeBron is a such a Hall of Famer for this release of 2K, it's a testament to how viable the card has been since Season 1. But I think like a lot of elite Season 1 cards, they're starting to show their age a little. While I love the build, and you get a little bit more 3 and nice animations from LBJ I think X-Man edges him out -- he just gives you a wider distribution of things at this point which is definitely represented by a superior meta score.
