**IMPORTANT** It’s been brought to my attention that badges correlate to your OVR so i’ll leave the accurate player ratings : (This is with & without MAXED BADGES which your MyPlayer may or may not have due to badge regression) NBA 2K24 Shot Creating 3 Level Threat - 73-78-82 OVR w/ NO BADGES | 80-85-89 OVR w/ MAXED BADGES NBA 2K21 6’7 Offensive Threat PF - 77-82-87 OVR w/ NO BADGES | 80-85-90 OVR w/ MAXED BADGES (Each OVR is with the “Attributes That Vary” at 25-62-99) My apologies for the mistake, I understand if you disagree with my point on our MyPlayers cause of this, but my thoughts on other points like the Servers, & 2K’s high premium still stands

@WatermellyyАй бұрын
One thing about vc upgrading prices that is overlooked by everyone is how, im noticing when I make new builds, I preview all of my main big attributes of my build before I upgrade to see how much vc it would cost, and then after I spend 10 bucks on the build to get my build to a 70 ovr, those prices for the main attribute will be higher than it was before I upgraded, my recent example: I see that when I preview the prices of my driving dunk from a 62 to a 94, it costs 20k vc, pretty decent cost, then I upgrade to a 75 driving dunk while upgrading other things, i spend the vc and I check again, it costs 35k to max out now??? I never hear anyone talking about that
@Joshua-qc1liАй бұрын
For me, when I upgrade my builds. I upgrade the more useless attributes to lower the price of the main attributes.
@Nayeem4KАй бұрын
I’ve heard about that before but definitely didn’t take it into account as much 💯, but it’s probably 2K’s way of making you feel like buying VC when you’re getting closer to being done with your build while weighing it out to reach around 375K VC for your 99 overall MyPlayer

This is why I’m only on play now and MyTeam. At least on MyTeam you can reasonably grind your way to being comp I miss the 2k16 days when you could max out all your stats in like half a season on MyCareer or if you wanted to skip the grind shit cost like $20 max. There wasn’t any meta builds or spamming moves cuz your player had the stats to play how you actually wanted

In my my gm there’s no substance the game is terrible it’s not fun how it use to be and they don’t seem to care so soon as college football come out I’m Back and hopefully they bring back a college basketball ball game or nba live comes back 19 was fun a little with the bros back then

Even if the builds are $10 cheaper the cost of game went up by 10 and the cost of the vc went up by 10 and you lost total attribute, it's 100% a loss. Not to mention you could hit 95 overall with 75k vc in 2k15 and had the mobile apps where you could earn up to 3k vc a day through daily logins till they cut that out

They don't dump all that was in the game at the beginning of the next game run, so if you don't get your player good quick in the life cycle of the game, you won't have much to customize to make your "MY PLAYER" YOUR!

Been playing 2k si ce the first one. My career or my player was very good until around 2k17. The thing is, if you play 2k year after year how often are you gonna play my player or my career? Eventually it gets played out and you're just doing the same thing on repeat. It be different if you could carry your players over in the new year but its about money. Its insanity to think there would be different results in a game mode thats essentially been the same for almost 10 years. My team is no different either. My eras is the mode I actually enjoy most where you can create your player as well but cant play online. Oh well.😢

I guess we're completely overlooking badges and how that effects your overall. The "Harrison Barnes" comparison makes no sense. Every single year of 2k in the last 5 years has had "demi-god" builds.
