NBA 2k20 Demo: Why Can't I Test a My Player at different/Max 99 Overall?

Why Can't I Test a My Player at different/Max 99 Overall?

It's simple. If you could, you would not spend nearly as much VC on new player and new builds trying to find that sweet spot. You can now SEE visually what their stats show. But we all know the stats are one thing and reality is another. For all we know some of those ratings have left real life affect.

I'll give you an example:

Does a 90 rebounding rating mean more than a very tall guy with very long arms and hops with a rebound rating at 77?

There's literally no way to know this without getting your guy to at least an 88 overall. That(88 or so) has always been the sweet spot where you can hang with 90+ guys and if you know how to play basketball you can kill guys that are lower than 80.

It is...what it is. They refuse to let go of that excess VC money they get. Its just too much easy $$$ for them. So either you're going to have to grind like crazy(not have a life) or Kick in some real money to buy VC. You already know most of us have lives so we will be kicking in that real money Or else be subject to sticking to a possibly bad build for the duration.

can you run the same player twice? I made a rebounding/3 point shooting big, tested him at a 75, but when I got back to the menu I couldn't select him again, only the option to make another MyPlayer. And of course there's only 6 slots available

and how is that done?
i didnt say look at my ratings at 99. i said actually play with him at 99 or 88 or whatever.
Unless my demo is glitched(could be). every time i pull the ratings up to 88,89 or even 99 with any guy i create. it shows me what they would be like in all the ratings areas. but when the actual game starts. my guy is playing like he's a 60. you can tell how easy it is to miss layups with guys that have 80+ layups, or how is it is to lose your dribble with guys with 95 handles. I know its a different game but i've played my player since it started. i know when the guy is rated super low and how it feels before you grind it out and get the VC to boost your guy into the 80s. or say the hell with it and buy the vc and get your guy there. its night and day. sure i can hang and with a big i score easier and rebound easier for sure. but you can still tell these guys are not late 80's or 90s. perhaps i'm not doing something right.

i just want to be clear. I'm not talking about seeing my ratings IF i were a 99. i'm talking about actually play testing with my 99 guy.

life...you're joking right?
aint no way these slow footed, ball bobbling dudes are 99's. . i have never reached 99 in the last few 2ks. so i dont even know what a 99 feels like to be honest. but i do know what an 88 feels like. i know what a 95 feels like. and i'm telling you aint no way. lol. i know the game has changed a bit with the movement(which i actually am liking a lot to be honest...well vs the cpu lets see how it plays out vs other real users. )

But I think when you change your overall you can just VIEW what it would be in all ratings areas. but not actually PLAY with a 99.

So one last time. we are all in agreement. The guy you're playing with does not FEEL like a player thats 85+ , but you guys think he is because thats what the overall showed when you raised the bar? Is that what you're saying?

Different motion engine...it's a different game when compared to NBA 2K19....

Re: NBA 2k20 Demo: Why Can't I Test a My Player at different/Max 99 Overall?

I understood the initial question to be:

Why cant we test a player at like 85, and then after that test the same guy at 99?

You can't, you get like 6 slots or something and everyone gets picked once.

As for how it plays, we're given generic dribbles and generic everything else. We didnt pick our dribble style like they talked about for the full game. So all your players will dribble like 55 ovr Centers until the full game comes.

After you choose which takeover you want to use, you can literally choose what overall rating you want to play him as from 60 to 99.

That's one thing that bothers me. We can pick our jumper, but we can't even see what it looks like before selecting it. And we can't pick any of our other animations at all, even from a predetermined package. So that 80+ handle rating doesn't mean much when the animations are still for a 40-50.

This is the most pointless post i've seen all week...

This is the most pointless post i've seen all week...

actually this reply is the most pointless. when you feel someone has posted something really pointless. you dont reply with "pointless post" because then your post becomes the most pointless. lol.

Actually it wasnt pointless. its something I was experiencing or felt i was experiencing. i was to a degree just trying to make sure if i was playing with 88's, 95's, 99s or 60 rated guys. I just wanted to make sure because my first two guys felt really sluggish as i put them at 88 since I assume if getting to 95+ is as much of a grind as it always is. odds are I aint making it that far. so i was being realistic with my testing. Someone above actually figured out what i was experiencing when i made guards/perimeter guys. It was that sluggish dribbling due to the default animations that are for non pro level dribbles. That was the reason my guy felt so slow. whoever that was above who first mentioned it. Thank you.

So now i can go back to be mad at the fact I cant choose my animations. Why do would you let us test out our guys maxed out or close to it if you know good and well this game is animation based and the animations on things makes a ton of difference? as usual 2k gives you one thing and takes something else away. or I should say they have you feeling all excited then they kick you in the knee to remind you it aint all of what you thought it was. It's like dang can they ever just give you something complete. i didnt say perfect. complete. if you're allowing us to try out guys, give us EVERYTHING to choose. the game is already done, has gone Gold(as they say). No matter what there will be a day 1 or 2 patch. so dont tell me the animations arent ready yet.

I've also noticed, they give you some really suspect comps when they show what guys your guy is supposed to be like. 4 out of the 5 guys i have created had incorrect comps based on the ratings i gave them and the badges i gave them. only one was spot on.
