NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

My wife bought me NBA 2K24 for our PS4 as a early Christmas present. I haven't played a new 2K since 2k19. So I was surprised when WNBA was included. I've always wanted to play WNBA as a game, as to create my women dream team. However I have noticed that you Cannot create women caws for use in the season. Is there a reason?

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

I just started playing MyCareer and the first couple games were fun, like the way the team played...I'm a 6'6" pg on my Celtics but I have to say I absolutely hate the way 2K makes you have to play with other people IE joining a affiliation and being able to get my Daily spin for my rewards. I find no enjoyment at all playing with others. I can't hit shots....never really been able to online and it's just not fun...this really sucks.

I've yet to play, but that's the thing I don't like. I don't mind doing some of the BS quests and traveling all around the City. It was useful for VC farming. But as someone who doesn't want to play with others online, this mode almost forces you to play online if you want to get all the bonuses. I don't want to play online to get Daily Spin or play to unlock perks. I don't mind the grind, but I'm not grinding to get high levels. I have responsibilities lol.

I'm still planning on playing once Season 3 starts. My biggest gripe in the past was AI Teammates wasn't playing up to par, but it seems like AI Teammates are better this year.

I personally don't think I'll ever join an Affiliation having to score 100 pts and win 10 games.

That's ridiculous. Because if it is to 21, you're chucking up shots in an online setting where you have teammates trying to do the same thing .

I'll just play the NBA games and take whatever I can

Yeah tell me about it, only played one game and twice I was open on the break, neither of my teammates passed the ball and both shot 3s.

My last question, what is your honest opinion about AI Teammates?. It has been my major gripe of the mode. My preference isn't to play like a Superstar. Heck, I want to be a Super role player, the glue guy. I want to focus on defense, stretching the floor, screening, cutting off ball. I want to be able to play alongside a star player and rely on them handling the scoring role. It's one thing when you're grinding badges to play a certain way. But, I always get to a point where I'm done grinding and just want to hoop and have fun, but not being able to enjoy it because of Teammates.

So do the star AI Teammates play like stars, or just a little better than the past?

I was able to join Rise. 50 Assists and 10 B grades. Took a while but doable.

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

I haven't done any affiliation or anything. Played about 20-30 Rec games.

Finally got tired of the Mavs roster. Love playing with Luka on my big man tho... THAT is fun I would recommend anyone. Setting screens for Luka and letting him play his step back game and crashing the glass for offensive putbacks is great. Especially if you have some pick and pop game Luka is a beast. He will absolutely dot you without calling for it. I wish finishing as a big was better. Still flub a lot of dunks and unless it's a post fade there is ZERO chance of making anything close to the rim. Driving dunks are much better, so I have a PF with a little ball handle he's great.

Most recent character I put on the Lakers. Got Bron one more chip and he got injured in my 2nd year so I simmed till he retired.

So far AD is a fantastic guard pair. I flipped me n Luka so I got the ball and AD is rim running.

I get lobs all day long. But I wish the CPU was more dynamic in the pick and roll.

USED to be they would play cat and mouse, even last year I could trick them off the roller and hit the corner. This year even if they play the lane, double the roller, I dot the 3 and they can close out. So it's OONLY drive or lob. I rarely get enough space off a screen to shoot the 3 off the bounce either. Really wish PNR mechanically was deeper.

All in all, career has been great aside from the lack of finishing. Luka missing bunnies is frustrating. To the point i don't post up anyone. I don't post AD, never posted Bron and no way I'm posting Luka.

Last year the post game was great. I'd throw it to Luka down low, they would double and I'd sploosh. Now they double and Luka bricks.

I haven't played a lot of games right now I'm 5-2 in MyCareer on the Celtics and I accidently simmed 3 games with the new Sim to key game. At times Tatum and Brown and my other teammates seem to play like themselves along with some other stars I've played against but it's mostly they play better than they did in the past but it's still a good thing for sure. I am enjoying the game and having fun.

Will have to get more games in to know for sure

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

6th character. Finally got my guy min maxed best I can.

SF 6'8 Tatum build. 3 level threat with silver contacts. Averaging a very nice 17-5-9 line as a 75. First time I've ever felt like a real ROLE player.

I shoot 67 percent from deep just spotting up while I'm leveling him up.

Kyrie and Luka both over or touching 30ppg. Really beautiful ball right now.

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

I am absolutely hating this affiliation crap right now, I wait in line to play knowing that if I do get into a game I may not get a single point or a win and then get kicked out of line for some other people who just showed up. This is some straight BS

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

I'm pretty much ready to start MyCareer, I'm just waiting on NBA2k24 to go on sale. I'm surprised it hasn't gone on sale by this point. I don't really want to pay full price. I already have a decent amount of VC from when I rented the game st launch

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

I'm pretty much ready to buy NBA 2k24. I've seen some of the sales. I've seen the sales as low as $30 on Target on Sunday. I'm waiting to see what the sale on the PSN is going to be starting tomorrow. I have a decent little amount in PS gift cards. So if the sale on PSN is $35, I'll be willing to pay few dollars because I already have the gift card for it. Even though, I have the money on the gift cards, I don't want to pay $10+ extra for 2k24 when I can get it for $30 at Target.

I'm debating on waiting until the next roster update to actually start MyCareer. I plan on being a PF on the Indiana Pacers. I'm sure Haliburton's OVR is going up on the next update. The roster updates is usually every other Thursday, so I'm debating whether I want to wait until the next update to start MyCareer

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

I managed to get 100 points, took me a whole lot of games to do it, I need 2 more wins to get to 10 and have been trying for 3 days now no luck.

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

I bought the game today, on sale. But, I'm still waiting on the next roster update to start MyCareer. Like I said before, I plan on playing as a PF on Pacers. I'm certain that Haliburton will get a nice little bump in the next update. Since i rented at launch, I was able to farm up some VC. With the Season 2 Trendsetter rewards, I'm starting around 45K VC so I'm not starting out barebones. I don't want to buy VC. Only thing about buying the game was that it showed on Twitter/X was that if you bought it digitally, you can get 15K VC. But, after I bought it on the PS store, I realized that you would have to buy it on PS Direct digitally to get the bonuses. It's disappointing, but it is what it is.
