    2K MyTeam cards overlaid with their original images | Part 3

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 08:04 PM PST

    A letter to 2k.

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 08:52 PM PST

    Dear 2k,

    It's been 10 years together. I still remember receiving my first copy of nba2k10. I was 14, it was christmas and I had just bought my first console. All my life all i had played was nba live. I remember being in awe of 2k10 and the MyPlayer mode, the customization, the immersion... your game just offered so much more. It truly showed that all you had in mind was to offer the best basketball gaming experience for us... not like EA who year after year basically gave us the same game. For years, you guys had such a creative push and innovated so much to finally take the edge over EA, your dominant competitor. I was so proud of you guys. I was proud of being part of the 2k family.

    And now what? What happened?

    Yeah sure there's the gameplay issues or the server issues. But the bigger issues to me are the traces of greed, laziness and uncaring towards us. Just the idea of vc is full of it. Then you add; The cost of your items. Your game being pretty much the same every year knowing we're going to pay no matter what. The fact that we cant even take back the vc we put in a player to force us to buy vc. And I could go on. Makes me shake my head.

    I get it, you guys want to make more money. And you've discovered how to easily make a lot more money. But understand that you're insulting the customers and the 2k family. It shows that our gaming experience isn't your priority anymore. All we're waiting for is an alternative...and we won't feel bad about letting you go.

    Thats all.

    As a member of this family: fix our game and take our experience in consideration please.

    Many players don't care about rep rewards, but the rep system actually impacts gameplay for everyone. Here's 5 ways 2k can improve rep experience for everyone from League Pros down to offline players.

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 11:46 AM PST

    Yes, I'm back with another unnecessarily long post that nobody asked for. But even if you're like me and you don't care about your rep, alot of issues with the gameplay experience can actually be cleaned up by improving the rep system. With these 5 steps, 2k can tweak the current system in a way where everyone benefits (including 2k).

    1 Get rid of rep methods

    I typically don't like starting posts with the most controversial opinion as a lot of people tune out once they read something they disagree with but hear me out. Every year there's a certain method or playstyle that helps you rep up faster. In 2k20 for example everyone was throwing lobs, which made for boring gameplay for the rep grinders and their opponents. 2k addressed this issue pretty well in next gen by tying rep to teammate grade, but this still meant that big men typically earned more rep than guards. It also led to strange playstyles like people cherry picking in the rec waiting for flashy assists. Again, not fun for the rep grinders or their opponents. Instead, there should be a set amount of rep given for a win, and a set amount for a loss. This way everyone on the team gets the same amount and the only focus is on winning the game. There's nothing worse than being the other human left on a rec team and the opposing squad double and triple teams you the rest of the game. Not only is it a miserable experience, but it also results in you getting practically no rep. Giving even the losers the same amount of rep will lessen the quitting by making sticking around to the end somewhat worth it. This seems like a drastic solution on its own, but it's closely related to step 2.

    2 Give comp modes more rep than casual modes

    The rep amounts should look something like

    Pro Am win: 2x

    Pro Am loss: 1.4x

    Ante Up win: 1.5x

    Ante Up loss: 1x

    Private Pro Am win: 1.5x

    Private Pro Am loss: 1x

    Park or Rec win: 1x

    Park or Rec loss: 0.5x

    Yes, they tried something similar at the beginning of 2k20 and the community whined until it was changed back, but that was mostly due to the absence of a 2v2 Pro Am. Players who enjoyed 2v2 were not getting the rep of 3v3 players. In order for this to work, they would need to add a 2v2 (and possibly 1v1) Pro Am modes.

    Currently the best way to rep up is to get a squad and beat up on randoms in the park or rec while putting up good numbers. I watched some streams from the top reps during the rep race and they would literally quit out of a rec game before tip if the other team looked good. Beating good competition should give you more rep than beating scrubs. Hell, losing to good competition should give you more rep than beating scrubs. With this system, those who want to rep up fast would actually be better off taking their squad to Pro Am and losing by 40 than they would going to Rec and winning by 40. Of course there will always be the occasional squad going to the park or rec to score easy wins, but they would no longer be rewarded for it. Park and rec would generally be casual mode for people who don't want to try that hard every game.

    So why is Ante Up and Private Pro Am less? To prevent boosting. In Pro Am you cannot choose your matchup, so the fastest rep method in the game would still be beating comp in Pro Am to get 2x. With Ante Up and Private Pro Am you could create dummy accounts to throw games and get rep. Will people still do that? Of course. But you can no longer win the rep race that way. "So why give Private Pro Am rep at all?" Because this is #1 mode played by the best players in the world (2k League Pros). Most 2k league players are still pro or all star rep despite playing the game more than almost anyone else and that's because they quit out before the game ends to keep from dropping overall (and save boosts). By getting rid of the 95-99 system and adding 1.5x rep for private pro am games, league players can finally start gaining the rep they deserve.

    With this system, rep will have more meaning than it does currently. It won't just be an indication of how often you play, but also how consistently you're able to defeat other good players. 2k has also done a great job at having consistent double rep events in next gen. These will provide a great opportunity for players who've been rep grinding in Pro Am to get back to The City multiple times per week.

    3 Introduce more useful rep rewards

    This is where we start getting to the part where 2k can make more money off rep. Most rep rewards are cosmetic items that oldheads like me don't care about. But there are few like gym rat, 2x daily spin, Elite rewards that I actually help the gameplay experience. 2k can use more rewards like these to benefit the player while bleeding them for more VC. Here's some examples:

    • Bringing back re-birth builds. In 2k19 once you hit 95 you got to create a new build with the main badges maxed and enough mypoints to get to around 90 overall. The catch, you still had to buy VC to upgrade them. A lot of players grind mycareer for VC since they have to grind their badges anyway, but imagine being handed a build that's already done. No mycareer necessary, you can head straight to park if you just open up your wallet.
    • Unlock the ability to buy badges with VC. The idea of being able to buy badges again instead of grinding them has been floated for awhile, but the common complaint is that it would be an unfair advantage if players can buy maxed builds on day 1. Well this way nobody would be able to buy badges on day 1, but they could buy badges on their 2nd build after hitting All Star 2 or something.
    • Unlock double mypoints or badge progression. One of the Elite rep rewards every year is double VC progression, but you should be able to unlock double badge or mypoints progression at Superstar or somewhere around there. Players would be more tempted to drop money for VC on a new build if they knew they could grind it faster.
    • Unlock unlimited boosts for one skill. This one wouldn't make 2k any money, but it would still be something worth grinding towards.

    These are just a few examples of useful rewards that would provide even casual players more of an incentive to try and rep up.

    4 Keep popular rep rewards in the game, but have them unlock at lower levels

    Every rep reward video that you watch will talk about bringing back Tigers and Jetpacks. I didn't play 16 or 17, but I still want a tiger and a jetpack. If a rep reward is popular, 2k should bring it back the following year, but lower the rep level. If 16 gave you a Tiger at legend, 17 should give you a tiger at Elite 5 for example. It will be old news to the people who grinded for it the previous year, but most of us will never see legend, so it would be fresh and new to us. Mascots are played out for Youtubers but imagine if the average player who's never had one could unlock it at Superstar 4. This also means more VC for 2k since a Tigers and Mascots are like half a million VC. Players who grind to Legend every year should get new rewards every year, but the classics don't have to go away.

    5 Give offline players rep

    A win in mycareer could give something like half the rep of a park loss. Park games are much faster than mycareer games, so someone who's losing all day in park will step rep up faster than someone playing offline. But this way the two modes won't feel as separate. There are basic rewards like tattoos and even access to The City that mycareer players can't unlock. It also helps cut down on the feeling that you're wasting time when you're stuck in mycareer grinding badges. Players like to feel like they're progressing towards a goal everytime they get on a game. This leads to more playtime, which leads to happier endorsement partners. It would also provide a bridge to introduce offline players to online gameplay. When they enter the park, they're no longer just a Rookie 1 at the bottom of the totem pole. I play 2k20 and there are still plenty of Pros around. So now the All Star 1 who's just won his 3rd title with Knicks and is getting a bit bored, won't be nearly as intimidated if they decide to try their luck on the got next spot.

    Gotta love 2k, best dunk ever

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:51 AM PST

    MyPlayer in this game is LIGHT YEARS more fun when you don’t do a build that everyone recommends

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 06:19 AM PST

    First build I made was a YouTube build for park and I probably had the least fun I've ever had on this game. Bad free throw shooting as a big made playing in mycareer and rec almost unplayable.

    It was supposed to be some bullshit "demi-god" build etc etc etc and ended up making me not want to play the game for a couple of months.

    Fast forward to yesterday where I got the itch to play and I decided, screw it, I'll just play around and see what I get.

    I ended up building a 2-way 3 level scoring SF with the dribbling abilities of a dead rat, but is a PnR/PnP god and can lock down on defense. Sure it only has 45 total badges, but who cares? It's an absolute blast to play with so far and when my friend gets his facilitating guard up, I'm sure we'll have a blast in whatever mode we play.

    What I've figured out (which I'm sure other people have as well) is that making a build because someone says it's good, is just dumb. Make a build that you ACTUALLY enjoy, and the game is so much better. I know that's so damn obvious, but I'm sure some people need to hear it.

    Does anyone else here get bored of 2K21 or 2K20 and just go back and play like 2K14 or 15? I do it all the time. I really enjoy the 2K15 MyCareer options... there we literally cut scenes mid game if you got fouled hard you could either choose "stay calm" or "go at them" and you could literally get tossed out of games! I miss the old 2Ks and their features so I enjoy going back and playing them.

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 04:56 PM PST

    Newb here, have been playing around a lot with the building system and have noticed that you can get many more badges if you forgo physicals. What do you guys think? Would it be detrimental not to upgrade physicals? Looking for a build that allows me to do both my career and mypark.

    Thanks!

    Are Team Practices worth it?

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 09:44 PM PST

    I'm currently grinding my player to try and get them to 99...obviously...and I'm grinding a ton of NBA games to get the badges. Practice mode doesn't seem like it pays off much(except for the coach practices) for the amount of time and what you get back. I currently do practice to work on badges that I don't get many points from in game. So as stated above, is it worth it?
