Yeah, my wife has issues with 2k too. This is partially one of the reasons I am quitting. I get frustrated at the gameand some times I can be heard screaming on my PS4. Not very good picture for the kid as well.

Back to beach buggy racing with the kid

Brother, you will realize later what a big YET this is, in the wives behaviour towards 2k

yeah. i hear ya. if they fixed the rubber-banding THAT WE ALL KNOW IS IN THE GAME there would be far less frustration. yesterday i played a guy with Steph, Jordan, Kobe, and Iverson FA cards. the rest of his team was trash and u can tell he was trash at MyTeam but they coddled him to death. he was making contested falling jumpers with steph and jordan all game. i was missing wide open, not a man within feet of me, jumpers. with lou and harden. pissed me off. His Silver Jahlil Okafor, outplayed my Ruby Davis. And i mean really outplayed him too. Putback dunks, offensive rebounds.....i was so pissed. it doesnt happen a **** ton, but when it does, it makes you question the coding of the game. at no point should a dude that has never touched myteam, be in a close match with me and have silver players out performing a significantly better card. thankfully i ended up winning by 20. they are trying to coddle to keep guys playing...but the offshoot of that is guys spend less on bigger cards because we know that you put in momentum to keep games close smh.

last year i used to ****ing get so upset bc of their trash momentum and i'd yell at the TV. wifey did NOT like that lol.

In my 30s as well. My girlfriend says the same thing when she see me starting to play 2k. She's like "getting ready to start your night shift are you". Or I wish you would show me as much attention as 2k. The funny thing is she plays as much Candy Crush or mobile games as I play 2k.

Or just checking instagram...

It seems there are many 30+ yo guys, so it is easier to understand the frustration.

my girl was the same way. she learned to deal with it.



bc i tell her that she's on her phone probably more than im on 2K. i win.

I honestly hate it when gf is around and I'm focused winning an MTO. I came to the conclusion to play other games when she's home so I don't get too pi$$ed when the distractions hit me nothing is as serious as MTO

This mindset is incorrect. I recall playing the AH on PC in earlier 2ks and having over 8 million MT when Onyx Wade dropped (one of the first to do it when it was unheard of, I was literally dominating the market before one even existed). A handful of people had 2-3 million MT. The truth is I was wasting my time. Instead of spending my free time enjoying the game, I was grinding. It was fun making all that MT, but I got bored and I moved away from it.

The sad thing is you think you are winning when you don't spend VC by spending hours every week or even every day grinding the AH. That means you don't value your time. Even at minimum wage you are spending 10-20x more than what you would had you just dropped the $20-$50. Now some people are crazy and they spend their life savings on 2k. Those people are excluded. But to get these crazy, all diamond teams this early, chances are that person lives in the AH, gets owned on-line, then goes back and plays the AH.

Honestly, you guys create the market for 2k by raising and setting the prices on everything to the max what someone can afford to pay so that it's hard to use the AH without buying VC. For the people who don't play the AH, we gotta pay $ to play. You're essentially a tool in their marketing ploy. They are using you and they are paying you in cigarettes.
