Fuck double bar cap breakers for slashing shot creators. From 87 to 99 there are double bar cap breakers and it sucks. Grinding out a pure sharp using the 1500 vc per game from my 91 slashing shot and the grind is even more painful.
MyCareer on pro gets easy after you hit 85 but the grind still sucks.

I might have to sell Moments Curry for 200k
Blake Griffin fo sho probably going on the Auction block. He don't really add much. He can't shoot. His FT rating is a 50. He's basically a PF who lives to the rim but others can do that. If I can get 60k out of him I'd be gud.

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostHow'd the qualifying go?
copy from general gaming thread. i didn't lose in the entire 4 hr window.
By Smokey Go To PostTourney is over. Before I started my last game in the around 3:45p, right at the end of the toruney window. It looks like I was number 8. I won that game, and then the PS4 crashed after….I guess because the tournament space within 2k is no longer there since the window closed. IDK.
I didn't lose a game. I was in peak 2k shape lads. No Ls in 4 hours. I'm sure I didn't get the qualifying spot but I'm pretty confident I finished in the top 5, but I'll never know because of the fuking game crashing.
2k keeps denying me my god given right to win hundreds of thousands of dollars in this game smh
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostHow did Iggy fall out the starting lineup
This is actually the lineup I used in the tournament. The other pic is outdated.
I got AK47 who is a reward for collecting 1500 cards. High End card. Don't know why he's not a Pink Diamond is is cold af. A or A+ attributes all down the line. BRoy is just the new hotness. Explosive. Iggy is one of the best all around cards though. His defense is incredible and he can shoot and finish. They could be interchangeable, but I like having him in to start the game, and then bring a fresh Iggy off the bench in the middle of the 1st with the hard defense. I play manually D anyway, but Iggy's attributes are ridiculous.
I literally haven't lost in a few days. I'm up to 9 wins wins in this block of 12 MyTeam Unlimited games. Once you go 12 wins in a row with no Ls, you get that month's player of the month card, which is how I got Issel. So I'm going to wait until Nov 1, win the last 3 games, and get the new Pink Diamond reward for Nov.
Reading around, I'm gonna change up my approach for next qualifier. Going to run with maybe 6-7 mains from the screen above, and the rest bronze players. I think this may manipulate the algorithm that gives points out for Ws.
You should be running 11-13 as bronzes or silvers anyways since you're paying for contracts you don't use. 3x Diamond contracts is money being thrown down the drain

huh?
i have diamond contracts on a few players that are in my starting lineup, and who i use all the time. And I actually used just about everybody on my roster during the qualifying day. The placement of the cards doesn't really mean much to me.
For instance depending on who the opponent was running at point, I'd bring in Baron. More athletic than AI and his defense is elite. Curry comes in as part of the bench mob in middle of 1st quarter. Eaton is there to use his 7'3 height against teams that love to attack the rim. Looking back, the only player I can say I didn't use once is AD.

Fuck 2k, they don't want to see you shine.
To become the leader on the Leaderboard on either XBO or PS4 at the end of a Weekend Qualifier GameDay, you will likely need to win as many Qualifying Games as possible during that Weekend Qualifier GameDay (each a “Qualifying Win”). You will receive a score (“Score”) for each completed Qualifying Game based on a combination of factors (i.e., algorithm), including the quality of your roster, the quality of your opponent’s roster, and the quality of your performance in the Qualifying Game. Scores for each completed Qualifying Game during a Weekend Qualifier GameDay will contribute to your total score (“Total Score”) on the Leaderboard for that Entry in the Weekend Qualifier GameDay, with Qualifying Wins contributing significantly higher scores than losses. Upon losing a Qualifying Game, your Entry will conclude for that Weekend Qualifier GameDay and your Total Score will be locked for that Entry (i.e., you cannot improve your Total Score for that Entry). Your Entries will expire at the end of a Weekend Qualifier GameDay, which means that your Entries will be reset to zero (0) at the end of such Weekend Qualifier GameDay.
So basically, it's literally RNG. To even be considered, you obviously have to win out. But you can win out like Smokey did, but the person who wins that week may have been facing opponents that netted him a higher score based off their algorithm.
Basically, it's bullshit. You have to win out and pray you got the toughest matchups out of everyone else who wins out.
Smokey, if you're actually serious about winning, the only way might be to actually try to win out with an average team. That's the best chance of maximizing your points gained per win.

Yeah that's what I'm gonna try and do. My god tier lineup might actually be hurting me. So gotta figure out some of the lesser players who play above their card value, and build the squad out that way. Mo Peterson immediately comes to mind.
By reilo Go To Post"ie algorithm" 😂😂🤦🏼♂️
It's bullshit man. Honestly, I'd give myself a chance against anybody to win that money.
By Smokey Go To Posthuh?

Contracts for Diamond players cost like 600MT or something right
Contracts for Bronze are like 100MT
So running 3 Diamonds who don't play costs you 1800 MT while three Bronze costs you 300MT. You're costing yourself 3x the contract value difference per game by playing Diamonds over Bronzes.
yeah, I wouldn't feel comfortable playing anything beyond diamond
my roster would be end of bench guys I barely play: bronze, bulk of roster: ruby/amethyst, and maybe one or two diamonds you think you need to carry everyone

oh ok
however the point is to completely destroy anybody i play for 20 minutes. I use all of my players, and consistently have fresh, highly rated players on the court. I am constantly subbing in and out and adjusting on the fly who's coming in. The only one who didn't play at all last weekend was AD. I'll probably mess around with a min/max squad and run it after i get the november player of the month with this goat squad i've assembled.

yeah, try and play a diamond center while going up against pink diamond 98 tim duncan or 98 rated ben wallace lol. glhf. I'll probably just throw a diamond contract on most of these guys anyway, and at that point, it doesn't matter outside since diamond contracts = unlimited games.
Knocking out these challenges. Just did the Magic one where you need 4 Magic players and someone on the squad has to get 12+ assists. I like the idea behind these challenges, but when you just need any 4 Magic players, and ANYBODY on the team can do the assignment, it defeats the point imo. I got 15 assists with CP3 for example, and challenge still counts as complete.
LOL end game card out in October
They used to have challenges like that in 2k16. Now its just team based stuff designed to get you to buy more cards.

I knew that card was coming.
I put a bid in on Anniversary Ben Wallace (Pink Diamond 96) overnight for 100k and won. So now I have anniversary Wallace and AI.
Thing with these cards is their only offered for a short time and then gone, and they're all Pink Diamonds. I was lucky to get the AI one, but on the AH he's going for 200k+.
The other 4 cards aren't out yet (lul at Griffin being included among those players), but once they are and you complete this set, you get Galaxy Opal CP3. Cover Series 2 you get GO Blake Griffin, Cover Series 3, GO Shaq (:wow).

By pilonv1 Go To PostThose badges and 99 open three for Klay are obscene
Based on Pro-Am, he can shoot from just about halfcourt with the HOF limitless with HOF catch and shoot.
I'm at 131 coins, and have a bid on this trash nets player that will allow me to complete the Nets Heat Check pack and give me 25 coins. Means it's time to start looking at who I'm gonna pick up for my 2nd Pink Diamond Rewards player. It's between Stockton, Dikembe, Duncan, and Grant Hill.
I kind of want Stockton. Even though I run Pink Diamond AI at point, I'm still considering him.
HOF defensive badges, and 95+ defense, shooting, and playmaking attributes

By pilonv1 Go To PostI thought the MyTeam meta was running a big PG?
i don't. i like the pgs that can score from anywhere. dantoni gives a +4 shooting and speed boost, and then i throw diamond shoes on them on top of that with more attribute boosts.
ive ran into a lot of people that like to use diamond iggy as a pg for example, which is actually smart, but i don't do that all the time. if i'm really feeling up to it, i'll put giannis at pg and legetit lol
Yeah it's usually LeBron/Giannis/Harden etc. Not just for the height match up on offense but the way 2K works on defense size & length always wins

I just ran with this lineup
Played a guy who had a stacked line up as well. He was running LBJ at the point. I ran the starting 5 above for about a quarter, and then subbed in Iggy at PG to counter. He then put Melo at PG, but I had Iggy there and was good. Then he went to a double big lineup with Jermaine Oneal at PF and Moses at C. Again I was able to counter with Oneal at PF or Moses/Wallace at C. He had Diamond Klay and Rashard Lewis as well, I countered with Klay and Pierce/Lewis myself. I also brought in AI when he went to Melo at PG as well, and ate him up for about 15 points. Basically I had an answer for every lineup change he tried, and still won by 13.
Some short videos. Colors are blown out because I play in HDR and it messes with the capture
From last weekend tournament. 4 on 1 break, no look to Iggy, reverse windmill.
Moments Diamond Curry (Takeover active) size up, step back 3, game winner (Triple Threat)
AI is a gawd and forces OT

By Rob Go To PostI saw someone on twitter posted that he’s shooting like 17% this year
the idea is that the card captured the quality of player he was on that day
which was a 99 gawd tbh
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posti have like 130k vc
time to jump on this train
Get you a starter pack breh
FYI In MyTeam it's MT points that's the currency, not VC. But you use VC to buy packs to start. Once you get a pack and some players, id start doing the challenges first, they give you reward tokens. There's a whole separate tier of players thar can only be obtained using tokens, and you get those from completing challenges and modes.
There's been a bit of a market crash on amythest players since more high powered packs have released as well. If you decide to jump in, you should be able to get really good players for cheap from AH.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posti have like 130k vc

You gonna play against LeBron, Klay, KD, AD and Hakeem in game 1 with Smush Parker as your best player. The 2k matchmaking is so trash.
