Road to 99 is Back I guess.




'NBA 2K20' MyPlayer Details Revealed - Archetypes, Badges & Takeovers Explained

By Christopher Groux

Quote:
Archetypes as fans know them don't exist. Your archetype forms based on the stats you invest in most.
You use a pie chart that acts as the base of your build, then you place four initial points in Playmaking, Finishing, Shooting or Defense.
When you are finished, the game tells you which NBA athlete your player most resembles.
Builds can be tested at every Overall level before finalizing your choice.
Players can manually create their own attribute caps.
If you're a stretch big, your attributes are restricted past a certain height.
Female character builds exist in MyCareer.
Described as the most balanced MyPlayer builder yet.
It's suggested people will be 99s quicker this year.

Badges

There are about 80 confirmed Badges. At least 21 of those are Driving-related.
Each game you get Badge Points, Attribute Points and VC. This means you'll be grinding for points this year instead of VC.
Players can pick the Badges they'd like their MyPlayer to have.
You gain Badge slots as your Overall increases.
Badges are picked at the start, but they can be upgraded, added and removed at will.
One is called Quickdraw. It speeds up the release of all jump shots.
There's also a Badge called Ice in My Veins.
Dribbling Badges include Handles for Days, Unpluckable, Tight Handles and Stop and Go.
There's a Badge to increase shooting in Hot Zones.

Takeovers

There are no Double Takeovers. Takeovers are chosen before you play and can be changed later in the MyPlayer editor.
It's assumed the Takeovers available to you are tied to your stats.
There's at least one new Takeover.

In other words, NBA 2K20 features an entirely overhauled Road to 99. If the new system works as advertised, players will have the ability to customize their ballers, test them and shape them like never before. Also, if VC is no longer part of player stat increases like has been described, the MyCareer grind should be much shorter than it's been over the past two years. For those who've been following the series closely, NBA 2K20 sounds like a dream come true. However, these systems warrant deep testing before we truly know what they're capable of.

Fans will get their first extensive chance to try out the new MyPlayer builder when the NBA 2K20 demo releases August 21 on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. It's not yet clear precisely what the demo contains, but we'll likely learn more when the presumed MyCareer trailer drops sometime next week. Provided everything operates in a fair and balanced fashion, the MyPlayer builder of NBA 2K20 looks to be the best one yet.

NBA 2K20 comes to Xbox One, PS4, Switch and PC Sept. 6.

interesting...

i wonder how many you can have, and how they determine which level of badge you get?

also, if grinding for badge points, do we still have to do specific things in game to gain those points?

I hope you can gain points for floaters by doing acrobatic finishes, in a general way, so that people don't grind badges in game and cost wins...

VC is no longer apart of the stat increase?

I'm still confused about that as well. I know about having to do well at a skill to be able to boost that skill. So like having to shoot well to boost shooting attributes. But I still think you still need VC. I think the whole cap upgrade system is gone. So depending on how well you do, is how fast you upgrade. Thats probably why they said you'll get to 99 faster and to be careful how you choose to build your player. Because if you don't fully play to your build playstyle then you're player won't be as good as you want it
