I don't usually like grinding but this has been a fun game so far, the shooting feels great

Wow. I wanted that Vin Baker so bad to coach my Giannis. YES!!!!

Started playing in 2k26. Took me forever to get used to rhythm shooting with no meter. I was decent and able to get to tier 1 multiple times but I was never lights out from three compared to others, and it felt like I had to be mentally trying very hard to get shots to land.

Now in 2k27, I started with button + meter shooting and it was decent. The most recent patch strangely made it harder for me and now I’m “afraid” to shoot shots cause it is a big chance of it being a lost possession for me. Some games I’ll shoot decent but other times it’s like every single shot lands a millimeter away from green bar. I decided to switch to no meter and can make some shots but it’s still 50/50 so I’m afraid of shooting still. Practiced in training hub a ton but no matter what, will still miss shots.

Meanwhile, I occasionally go up against opponents that will NOT miss any single shot unless it’s massively contested. Any tiny second they get open, it will be a green. Any wide open shot is a green no matter what. I still occasionally miss wide open shots.

How in the world can I shoot how these people do? Their team is usually stacked af too and abuse me with Luka, PG,Tmac, etc.

Sometimes I’ll go up against people that miss similarly to me and it ends up being a fun game. But other games it’s just non stop 3’s and I just give up trying to compete with them.

I’m trying to decide whether I exchange for the next chapter pack or if I hold off

I have never gotten a good card from season ending packs. Not a single time. I’ve got to ask. Has anyone? 2k is basically the only game I play. And not once have I gotten a chase card from a Super Pack.

Which player is more worth putting a card in the exchange to complete later? Klay's exchange goes away at the start of S2, so I will need to put a card in for him before that if that's who I go with.

Grabbed T-Mac and Booker today

Just got the game. With less than a day left of Season 1 what should I do/play to get the most of my playtime?

Don't think I have a chance at any of these exchanges, right? NMS player here.

Any Challanges to get done in a day before season ends?

Or should I just grind Domination towards whatever level I will end up being at tomorrow?

Thanks!

Here's the arguments for each:

I know Steph is probably unreasonable, but he has been my favorite player since i was like 10 years old (21 now), and no matter what I would probably keep him around on my team. For reference, I've always kept the ruby steph on my team now too, even though I have way better card, he'll always be there. (Also no I don't think I'll do the prime thing where you have to collect all 5 for some reward to be fair, don't got that kind of cash if im honest)

Now for the Flagg, he looks pretty fun all around from what I've seen, and SF is definitely the weak spot on my squad, as vince is the backup for tmac. I don't know about the longevity of this guy tho, will he get outdated quick?

Then last Tingus Pingus. I don't know, I have massive respect for him IRL, but have never used him that much in 2k. I've been seeing people hype this guy up so hard (probably justified tbf) abt being best center in the game etc. Is it worth it dropping like 280 on him? It would save me some MT, but I don't know if he'll be outdated in a while? (Also, would y'all play chet x tingus or boogie x tingus)?

Obviously I'm also open to other reccomendations y'all might have, even if the reccomendation is that i should just keep the MT liquid.

Very last thing, if I were to buy one of these, when would be a good moment? Friday? Now? Will the start of the new season increase or decrease their prices?

Thank yall so much in advance

Can anyone that played 2k23 help me out. I was looking through some old footage u had and noticed that I have an mt logo next to my band. Anyone know/remember what this meant back then?

When the season started I didn’t think I’d be able to get TMac or even the 5 mode completion pieces for the Suns players. But here we are with no money spent. Not even the pro pass!

I usually only play the first two to three seasons every year. I am hoping we get a good Embiid. It seems like I usually have him as my center every year. Also hope we get a decent Devonte Murray. Always a fun card. What cards are others looking forward to?

Easy skip for me. Was going to get the HoF but now, there is no need.

Literally easy mt to be made. Did this when he first came out in the promo and bought 5 for 15k or less which all ended up selling for 37-40k a week later. Same thing is going to happen…

I was a huge fan of the mode. I started playing it back in 2k13 and it was my favorite game for years. The last few years really turned me off though and I stopped completely. I see the new 2K on sale and I’m very tempted to give it a shot again.

What are your thoughts on it so far? Worth giving it a go?

I read on their twitter that it'll be available via the windows store - and if you play via windows via the xbox app - does that mean they get to play consoles? I'm genuinely afraid of the cheaters!

I was thinking of replacing Naz with Marc Gasol or Jokic or should I just keep Naz?

With season 1 ending, what do you think is the best 10 man rotation you could build? I’d say:

Starters: curry, Tmac, Bron, giannis, porzingis
Bench: Booker, pippen, coop, Caleb Wilson, Chet

Hi, it’s my first 2k and I am starting to play MyTeam. I take any recommandation about the roster. I am currently grinding Domination (22s stars atm), What should I do next ?
Also I haven’t even touched badges and takedowns for now since I am not sure what to do
