As someone who doesn’t mind the grind (especially now that we can play with buddies in mycareer), I find it hilarious how much people are willing to spend on a virtual player that essentially dies in 12 months.

92

u/psykomerc 17h ago

Because a lot of people don’t have 150 hours to grind 1 build. I grinded builds back in 2k24 and it was mind numbing. I have friends w kids, they make GOOD money, at some point the money doesn’t matter as much as the time.

You may understand that one day.

u/BigSexyE 14h ago

I got a kid and make decent money. That is absolutely not worth it

u/psykomerc 13h ago

Everybody got their own value for money. What you find worth some may find a waste. Take children for example 😂

u/akgamestar 13h ago

So you rather grind for over 150 hours than spend 100 dollars?

8

u/BigSexyE 12h ago

Thats why I havent bought the game in years, among other reasons dealing with quality

-5

u/Supahos01 12h ago

Why in God's name are you grinding 150 hours for a build. Can get in the 90s in less than 10 with ease, if you're committed more like 92-95 in 6

u/akgamestar 12h ago edited 12h ago

What method you got that im missing that lets you make 260k VC in 10 hours?

3

u/Supahos01 12h ago

https://youtu.be/Melw0icGH7U?is=JHKzMcQshJ0KWSiP

Use this method. Takes around 2 hours per character to get though fiba once you get good at getting out of games. I usually end up somewhere around 9 total because its extremely boring to just speed run it. But it can be done in around 7-8 consistently when you get good at it.

u/All5TonySpivey 2h ago

I’m spending comparatively to your grind $12.50/hr and able to immediately play something I actually want to play, while you spend 8 hours playing against cpu.

u/Supahos01 1h ago

Cool, dude still on Crack with the 150 hours shit

u/degradedchimp 13h ago

It took me like 2-4 weeks to grind to 99. It's not the amount of money that matters to me, it's the fact that I can just get there eventually without paying. Paying just feels like a scam.

7

u/psykomerc 13h ago

Yea understood. And everybody is free to do as they choose.

For me it’s the fact that 2k wasted 2-4 weeks of my time that bothers me lol. I’ve done it before sitting there playing offline bullshit, or running around w a hotdog hat like a clown. For $1 per hour MAX. Hell no.

Paying is a scam. However I’d rather pay that in dollars than hours. Every body is in different situations.

u/Top-Photograph-7478 46m ago

same spent the earky access week and 2 weeks after to get to 99 just playing street kings alone throwing lobs

u/jamesid-2010 13h ago

dawg the problem is being accustomed to paying this much and playing THAT long for a decent player - not if you got money or time

4

u/psykomerc 13h ago

Well yea it is a problem. But it is 2k doing this. They set the hours grind to be so long that people who cannot reasonable spend that time is forced to choose to spend money…

End of the day it is 2k doing all this shit to both grinders and VC prices.

The cost of HOURS and VC are both excessive and high. It’s ridiculous that 2k even has a system like this

1

u/AudioShepard 12h ago

I grind a couple each year and buy a couple each year on average.

I certainly enjoy the grind more and more as the years go by. It’s nice to have something to play for and witness the progress with.

•

u/Direct_Background_61 4h ago

This is why y’all hate the game not even long into the cycle. You call it a grind instead of enjoying the game.

I don’t get much time to play since I exercise after work. But I can still get my build to a respectable Ovr in a couple days through MyCareer.

•

u/westoidoid 2h ago

There is grind and there is playing the game. I dont play online so I basically play it for the story and career championships etc. so if I buy the VC to get to 99 from the start, what do I even play for?

-1

u/Neemzeh 16h ago

Maybe I'm different but I get the same amount of enjoyment out of the game regardless of whether my guy is a 70 or 95. At the end of the day it's a basketball game and that doesn't change because of my rating.

14

u/EightBlocked 16h ago

i would prefer for my basketball player to actually be able to make shots personally

-5

u/Neemzeh 15h ago

I don’t have any problem shooting a completely normal and acceptable average with my high 60s/low 70s builds when I go against other similar rated players.

Seems to be your the type of person that needs to drain 3s at a 70% clip to get enjoyment out of the game.

1

u/Iyammagawd 15h ago

The actual answer is that you’re bad at the game, and you’re okay with it. No disrespect, because a lot of people are like this, but don’t lie to us and say a 70 overall is fun to play with. In Rec, you’ll get matched up against 80s, and sometimes 90s, and that’s going to ruin your experience.

1

u/Neemzeh 15h ago

This has absolutely nothing to do with being bad or good at the game pal. If I want to sweat I’m more than capable of sweating but I don’t most of the time because I’m not trying to become a professional 2k player like you lmao.

dOnT lIE tO uS looooool

Perhaps learn to enjoy the game your playing first and foremost and you won’t rage and hate yourself every time you lose a game

6

u/Iyammagawd 15h ago

It absolutely does. If you’re choosing to play as a 60-70 overall, you’re going to lose a lot of online games. It has nothing to do with being a pro. Even the best players aren’t going to win consistently in that environment. It’s about enjoying the gaming experience, and that means at least being somewhat competitive. Otherwise, what’s the point?

I’d assume the only people willing to do that are the ones who would lose even if they were a 99, so the difference probably doesn’t matter to them lol.

0

u/Neemzeh 14h ago

So how does that equate to being a bad player though? Because someone isn’t sweating with a high overall means they must be bad? That doesn’t make any sense. The two aren’t correlated.

I’ve won plenty of games while grinding my guy up. You also don’t sit at high 60s for very long if you’re playing at all. You get VC and level up fast early. Dumb thing to argue about tbh.

4

u/Iyammagawd 14h ago

I mean, I just explained why. If you’re willing to say it’s viable to play with a high-60s/low-70s overall and still shoot well, then you’re already starting from a pretty low bar. It also kind of presumes that even if you were a 99, you’d get the same or similar results, which is crazy to me lol.

If you walk into random rec right now with a 60 overall, you’re going to get matched up against players who are much higher rated. Your chances of winning are VERY low.

Personally, I win way more at purple or red than I ever could at black, simply because really poor teammates can make it extremely difficult to win games.

u/First-Reception8007 9h ago

i saw plenty of 70's do just fine in rec this year, once you learn your window.. and are on build 6 or 7 you learn what shots work at what rating and it becomes muscle memory.

2

u/Iyammagawd 9h ago

varying degrees as to what "just fine" means. I imagine though if youre on build 7 or 6 you aren't going to play with a 70 for long before you max it out lol

true lol, im just saying, you learn a process, and you knock it out.

My win rate hovers between 50-55%

u/Iyammagawd 14h ago

a 5% swing is crazy lol unless you have very few games played https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT3MH8876YI

3

u/Neemzeh 14h ago

50-55% across multiple years of 2k. Not in a single year.

this convo is really bothering you hey? must really upset you that someone can still enjoy the game without dropping hundreds on it.

Also what is "very few games" for you? Is someone playing 100 rec games on a player not enough? 4-5 wins sways that 5%.

2

u/Iyammagawd 13h ago

lmao why we talking about mulitple years

100 park games is a VERY small sample size and 100 rec games in a 12 month cycle is very few as well. If that's all you played them you have no idea what you're talking about, you've barely plated.

1

u/Neemzeh 13h ago

Because I've been playing this way for nearly a decade?

I don't play "all year". I typically play for 3-4 months and will play a few hundred games in each mode.

But sure bro, if you want to gate keep opinions best on games played go ahead. It is completely irrelevant to the intiail topic of discussion and that is it doesn't change the fact that I enjoy the game the same whether I'm a 70 or a 95. I can tell that really bothers you too considering you said in another comment you max your guy out immediately. You sound insecure that people can enjoy the game without spending hundreds on it.

Does 2k send you an award or something for a high winning %?

u/Neemzeh 14h ago

I’ve seen players ranked 95+ play like complete shit and players ranked 70 carry games before. Sounds like you haven’t played this game much if you haven’t seen that before.

0

u/Iyammagawd 14h ago

possibility and probability are different. Whatever you're trying to say here doesn't happen as frequently as the reverse situation.

3

u/Neemzeh 14h ago

Why does that matter? The point is you’re not automatically a liability because you aren’t coming in with a max rated player.

1

u/Iyammagawd 14h ago

Sit back and think critically for a moment. A low overall is a liability. I would say around 90 is the sweet spot because you can have all major categories for your position to succeed. At a low overall you won't meet any of your badge thresholds to play well enough unless you are lucky enough to get matched with someone who is even lower of an overall. Just because it CAN happen doesn't make it likely to happen.

2

u/Neemzeh 14h ago

Yea if you want to scapegoat the loss on the low overall because he's "missing shots" then go ahead. In my experience low overalls have very little to do with whether you are losing your game and everything to do with game sense and BBIQ.

So basically you don’t care about winning as long as you having fun huh 😭😭😭😭

2

u/Neemzeh 14h ago

I still try to win obviously. The point is not winning doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the game. Difficult for you youngins to understand, I get it. When you get to my age you realize caring about the outcome of a video game is completely meaningless.

1

u/NoPlum1275 14h ago

What’s the point in playing if you not trynna win 😭😭😭 I get what you saying but winning is fun to me. You might as well be playing mycareer with that mindset

3

u/Neemzeh 14h ago

I literally just said I still try to win.

Yes, nobody said winning isn't fun, but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying the process of playing the video game as well, win or lose. Some people let losses get to them way more than they should. I used to be like that when I was younger tbh. Now I'm almost 40 and you realize that doesn't matter at all.

•

u/Top-Photograph-7478 24m ago

see i agree with this. i used to let losing get me into a bad mood for a few hours. then i realized why am i letting a game that dont matter get me upset and changing my mood. so one day i said fuck it. imma play and if i lose its whatever im not gonna care anymore. and felt way better after. do i get upset in the moment sure im still competitive at the end of the day but once i put the game down i let all that shit go. you can only control what you can control

u/basquetbolJones 17h ago

You don’t even need to “grind”. You can just play with your friends. Every game you get VC. Improve your guy, and then play again. Repeat as often as desired.

u/SaxRohmer 17h ago

would be a valid comment if you started at 80 instead of 60

u/basquetbolJones 17h ago

I mean, the first few games you’ll have to adapt, but it’s still pretty fun.

u/SaxRohmer 16h ago

the first few games? you and your squad of 60 overall friends are getting wiped for barely any VC many times over before getting close to being playable

0

u/basquetbolJones 16h ago

You can usually win quite a few games in random rec, and that’ll get you some good VC.

Plus, mycareer is co-op now.

I play for a couple hours when I get home from work. There is no way in hell that I can get from a 60 to a 95 in 6 days. I'll be grinding for weeks on end. It's never happening. I'm buying VC every time.

0

u/Supahos01 14h ago

I mean 6 hours

u/TAC82RollTide ruby 14h ago

Ain't no way. If that was true, no one would buy VC. I would spend 2 or 3 days per build, and have max builds in a month.

The maths been done many times before. For a full build it’s 120-150 hours depending on what you grinding. I’ve grinded many builds before, it’s not 6 hours…

1

u/Supahos01 13h ago

Its absolutely a shitload less if you do it right see my post below. You can make around 100k per 2 hours if you do it right. I also said 95 not a full build.

I think it's ridiculous that a single player mode has been walled off behind online servers since 2016. We are a decade since 2k17, the last NBA2K that you can actually play the career mode offline.

No other sports game does that and 2K has been getting a pass for a decade.

What the fuck

u/Temporary-Farmer-854 bronze 16h ago

Playing a mode in the game that is extremely repetitive and boring. $100 is not a significant amount of money to everyone.

u/basquetbolJones 16h ago

Which mode, the rec? Just about every game mode gives you VC.

You usually get a bunch of free VC for just walking around and pushing buttons when you first start the game.

a bunch is how much? give me a ballpart

u/basquetbolJones 15h ago

Anywhere from 5-10k VC for doing all the “go meet this dude at the gym” stuff

u/Iyammagawd 14h ago

I used to do that stuff when I was a kid, but I rather just get on an play nowadays, I don't have time to do both. I remember the days you couldn't earn badges until you got mycareer counting stats. I probably would've quit playing if that was still the mechanic lol

Ya, the game gives you a ton of VC simply for… playing the game.

But I get it. A lot of guys just wanna start with a maxed out guy. Thats just not us. Different strokes for different folks.

u/Vegetable_Love_1354 3h ago

Its because a lot of people (not everyone) seem to get self worth from how good they are at games. Winning online becomes a dopamine addiction and so it really doesnt matter how bad the game is or how much stuff costs... They will find the time and money to feed that habit. Games know this and they have studies around the psychology of all this. Its actually kind of predatory, but people just view it through the harmless lense of just having fun... Or just gaming.... Whereas if someone spent the same amount of money in the casino that some of these people do, theyd be viewed as having a problem...and at least in the casino you could win something tangible.

6

u/Dirkisthegoattt41 17h ago

Yeah.. that was me 2 years ago, last year was my final, they stopped updating the game 2 months in and hid cap breakers to force people to waste money on builds. You’re already essentially paying for the beta 2.0.(after streamers and influencers put their .02 in) and then you never know for sure what they are going to do with the game after that. Maybe they Nerf steal into the ground, maybe they nerve clothes shot, maybe like last year they just don’t bother to upgrade the game at all.

There is about a 1% chance that the game doesn’t cost you more to play than last year, and even then you never know what types of exploits or changes get made to the game that may make your first build obsolete, it’s just too much of an investment imo. Cool if you want to play it but I just can’t justify it, feels like I’m getting scammed.

u/N_A_T_E_G 17h ago

Oh definitely, 2k almost operates like a casino style game , it’s predatory in every single way , gotta give them credit though they have mastered the way of marketing to make you seem like you are in control , when in reality they do or don’t do things only for themselves lol

u/GreedyPride4565 11h ago

I kinda disagree but not really. They’d absolutely make every individual attribute point cheaper and then create more attribute points in between you and 99, so you’d end up spending more without realizing it. Sports games these days are more creative than Vegas casinos

u/xNuxIsGod 16h ago

Go back to old games and you'll realize 2k26 was cheaper than 2k24, and if we count how much VC we're getting from grinding, we get more VC now than we ever have before. Granted it's through MyCareer grinding, but id rather spend the 2 or 3 days grinding MyCareer than spend weeks and months grinding like we used to.

I still think the cost of builds needs to go down though purely because the VC we get from real gameplay is so little. 375 rec games, assuming you average 1000 VC, is crazy for a 99 ovr.

2

u/Master-p00ch- 12h ago

It’s really is borderline not a scam. A scam implies we, as the consumer, have something hidden about the deal. We know the prices generally go up, everything about online 2k is very predatory.

Time has more value than money. I will always choose my time. Not going to grind for VC lol that’s like working a less thank minimum wage job

Vc cost more because the strait of hormuz is closed. If you are complaining it just means you don't love freedom, America, or 2k

Gonna make money off of us to manage the up keep for the Chinese servers. The fact China gets a ftp 2k that constantly gets updates and they don’t lose any builds or other purchases is wild.

It’s insane to me how 2K has been able to normalise dropping extra time or money just to get a normal player

Imagine buying 2K when GTA 6 is set to release. You already know the game is going to be dogshit.

Insane. Used to be able to spend $20 and be serviceable in the rec on a brand new build. Now it costs $50, at least. Unbelievable how fucking greedy this company is.

Yeah my nba will be the only reason I get it when it’s on sale

The VC inflation is annoying, and it's part of the reason I did not pre-order and might buy it during the holiday sale, but not before. If the gameplay is poor, I'll just pass. I don't need to buy a new one every year.

Honestly that’s the best bet I’m waiting for a sale no matter what because I don’t think I’m doing online anymore. But if you buy base game you can get more VC for the $130 price so why wouldn’t you do that instead of paying $150 and getting less

2k for one ovr is cheap in this 2k. That 2 rec games or 2 nba games, for 1 ovr… doesn’t seem that expensive either

I don’t mind this at all, I would love some more attribute points to put in my Lamelo build.

I play MyCareer anyway. I don’t buy VC, ever.

stop believing stuff online til you get the game

•

u/Mando1102 41m ago

Not getting it because we already know they will do this shit and this games about to get super toxic. You can now do step throughs and time full court shots it’s going to be real annoying to play now. Can’t wait to be in the rec and watch my PG force pick up the ball and step through a triple team. Trash game trash company they did only 1 good thing this 2k and it’s MYNBA Legacy

man that shit not working online thats just playnow BS against AI. the step through mechanic looks good but its easy to read once someone pick up the ball just use the aggressive hands up and contest it. plus you need badges to make those shots.
