NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

This is one of the most annoying this for me this year. I went to the Elite courts to try to play some games and kept getting bumped by squads. Seems damn near impossible to get the objectives unless you luck out with randoms and get actual good teammates.

Yeah, I gave it a shot (Joined RISE so I need 50 Assist + 10 B teammate grades) Don't have any friends that play so just joined up with three randoms. It was such a chore and not fun I nearly backed out during the game. Finished with three assists (Which seemed in of itself an impressive feat since I'm assuming the two other guys I was matched up with are also just trying to get the 50 assists, so nobody wanted to shoot even with an open basket) and nowhere near a B teammate grade I just said forget it and gave up. It would honestly take me a couple of months just to get to 50 assist and 10 B teamate grades with how online is

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

The 10 wins for elite was easily the most annoying thing about this year's game for me. Took me like 8 hours until I finally hard carried a couple idiots for the last 5 wins.

I personally love the badge regression. Anything to get people less dependent on badges is a win in my book. I'm sire it will be patched to appease people though.

Running with a 3nD SG this year. No dunks at all but 89 layups so I'm feasting on those and floaters when people close put too hard on me. I'm having a ball with the game so far and they finally made MyCareer fames dun to play as an added bonus.

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

Another thing I hate that is tied to the Rise/Elite system is some of the rep rewards. In 2K23 all you had to do was complete the Rebirth quest by reaching 90 OVR. In 2K24 you gotta reach Rookie III rep to go shirtless.

I don't think you start gaining rep until you are able to complete those quests.

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

For me, I would like to see a return of Create a Legend mode like in the PS3/360. That way you get to play an offline MyCareer mode, but you get to use a rookie player. I can't remember remember if it was any current player or just rookies. Where you wouldn't get the restrictions of what current MyCareer gives you. They could literally structure it like The W. Where you're really just playing games, practice, and move to the next game. VC doesn't matter in the mode. Your player just gets better as you progress.

Starting out at 60 OVR sucks, especially as an offline gamer. The whole story this year is about being the most hyped prospect since Bron and becoming the GOAT, yet you start out at 60. Like I said before, you can start out as a 75 or 85 in The W. I'd be happy to start out at 75 OVR. Unless you're a tall center, starting at a 60 OVR. At least as a center, you can get rebounds and blocks with good timing and get the occasional hustle points at a 60. But at other positions, you need the ability to be impactful off rip. I always end up thinking that I should just do a Player Lock career in MyNBA that way I can avoid this BS. But, I prefer the structure of MyCareer and the progression compared to Player Lock.

In general I agree badges suck, but if they're going to be in, the way they did regression doesn't make a whole lot of sense from even a design standpoint (unless of course you factor in the greed component).

You could also use veterans. I remember picking Jason Kidd though I got bored and didn't go back I wonder how old can you play with a CAL player.

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

I always liked the concept of badges, but not the implementation of badges. I like badges when they are used for specific situations/skills that a rating can't cover. But, I don't like when there are badges for every little skill where the applicable rating should suffice. It makes having a specific badge necessary when in theory the applicable rating should handle it. It's like when they had a Hands badge. Honestly a lot of the defensive badges aren't necessary since the applicable rating is already there. Perimeter defense and interior defense should handle most of the defensive badges. Or Rebound Chaser when there are Rebound ratings lol.

My favorite implementation of Badges/abilities was All Pro 2k8. Yes there were under the hood attributes, but the gameplay was built around the Abilities and the level of star players. That's my issue with current games having Attributes and Badges/Abilities. If you're going to use both, then Badges should be just be specific skills that ratings can't cover

Yep agreed. It seems like maybe an unintended benefit to me as a badge *****.

In general re: badges, I agree with illwill; I liked when they were first introduced as a way to capture things that weren't included in the ratings. But it's gotten to the point where it just basically replaces ratings in a lot of cases now and are often too overpowered to the point of breaking the gameplay IMO.

Its a mix of having too many broad attributes and too many specific skill badges. It's needs to be one or the other. Like I said, Clamps, Fast Feet, Ankle Braces aren't really necessary with Perimeter defense being there. Same as Glove with steal and rebound Chaser with rebound. Same with Needle Threader with Pass Accuracy or Middy Magician with Shot Mid. There's a couple more that fit that mold. But, it felt like they added badges just to combat other badges when it wasn't necessary.

Badges feel like the be all end all, when it shouldn't. If the game was like All Pro 2k8, then yes build gameplay around badges and star levels. But when you already have attributes, making badges OP and necessary, it makes attributes worthless. Having a 90 3pt rating with no badges, shouldn't be less effective than 75-80 3pt with a lot of shooting badges. But that's how the game currently is

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

One thing I hate this year is those stupid GOAT Indicators/Abilities or whatever the hell you call them in games. When you activate one it will slow down the game for a few seconds letting you know that you activated it and it's ****ing stupid. I wish there was an option to turn it off.

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

Its a shame ratings still dont matter like they should.

Even grades for jumpshots mean very little.

Just silly how you can pick drummond base with like a 74 3pnt and shoot lights out from 3 lmao

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

I have been playing The W until I decide to start MyCareer closer to the NBA season starting. It is nicer to start out at 85 OVR. I'm doing it as a way to farm VC. They obviously changed it. It's always been 500 VC. But in 2k22, you were able to get around from actually playing games by fouling immediately. Now, you have to play the games lol. I'm not trying to buy VC. I got 10000 VC from the MyTeam Trendsetter reward and 6000 VC so far from The W. I know Season 2 and 3 will have 10000 VC award, so that should help me when I do start.

I can tell how strength and lack of defense makes an impact. I usually do athletic defensive first front court players. My The W player is an offensive PG. So, I am a complete liability on the defensive end lol.

Re: NBA 2K24 MyPlayer Thread

New patch made playing NBA games impossible. Brick city for you and the AI. Lost a lot of progress on the badges and literally had zero progression on any badge last game, but the AI also shot terribly even with minimal defending. When Lonzo had more blocks than made shots, I cant imagine it’s intentional. Can still play street ball it seems, but since the badges are the same set of badges, not gonna risk the few golds and 1 HOF i managed to get to for now, which sucks.

Really hope that's not the case. Looking at earlier videos, it seemed like AI were making shots. I hope they buff up AI Teammate shot making. Ideally, I want to be able to start MyCareer around the start of the NBA season
