    Will they ever fix Bench Press.. did they even play test it?


    It's so difficult and frustrating that I'd basically consider it a bug. The guys at 2K could not have possibly play-tested that and thought it was a good idea.

    Can't they fix this with a patch or something? It's utterly pointless and just annoying and the result is that literally nobody uses the bench or leg press in the gym because it's basically broken and it totally ruins the entire NBA Draft Combine experience in MyCareer because you have to be a total fluke not to come dead last ever time you try it which ruins your entire Combine.

    Is there a forum for bug reports somewhere?

    I'd prefer if they just removed the 'training' all together. It's just a 'time sink' for the purpose of advertising. It's not like most don't go in there anyway for boosts.

      Bench Press and Leg Press are the two I do every week lol. I generally get +3 on the bench press even without messing up a single rep, but I pretty much never mess up on either of those.

        I don't really know how to explain to you in text how to do it, but they're actually very easy.

        Bench press is actually bugged btw. It's impossible(as far as I know) to get +4 even if you do every rep perfectly. The rep requirement for +4 is one too many. I found a youtube video that helped me understand the drill.

        the only difference between 2k19 and 2k20 is that on the first few reps on 2k20 you have to keep the bar slanted a lot longer since the ball won't go back to the middle. After around 3 reps you can flick the analog stick like usual.

          On the leg press, just point both sticks up the entire time and never flick them. You can get 4+ every time. Learned that trick from Reddit [emoji16].

            The Bench press isn't that tough once you figure out how to do it, 2K just did a poor job of explaining it with their on-screen icons:

            1) Pull both joysticks down to start your rep
            2) Slowly and gently tilt up on the joystick that the ball bearing indicator is leaning towards to rebalance and redistribute the ball bearing
            3) Repeat the same process for the next rep

              Its like the box jumps. Has anyone ever had a. +4 on those?

              I can only get a +3 ever

                I just do sprint, leg press, squat, ropes and that 1 legged ladder stuff.

                All easy to get 3+ or more lol

                Nice to get that extra stamina as well on top of your other boost .

                  I get +4 on the leg press all the time with the above method that I mentioned.

                    It's 50/50 for me sometimes I do it well sometimes I screw it up. They should have done what Madden did in 07-09. That bench press was easier.

                      I can also get +3 with the box jump every time, that was not the point.


                      My point was that a +4 on the box jump is just impossible imo.

                        I don't think +4 on the box jump is even possible at this point. I just do the leg press to get my +4 for vertical.

                          I could say something so truthful that you'd agree with but I'd probably be banned again. I would just move on to another drill. If its the combine then it's only one time to deal with it. #Jersey
                          Playing NBA 2K feels like a job that pays minimum wage and then cuts your pay when you get your Bill's right to make it even harder to succeed. I do not like this game but it's the only one in town.

                          At cheese, I'm trash. At basketball, I'm great!

                            I do the treadmill, dumbbells, leg press, medicine ball, and the agility ladder where you have to move the thumbsticks instead. I always get +4 on everything. Plus, if it looks like I'm about to get a three, then I exit out of the game app before the game registers my final score.
