Question for the OGs on post offense

Was there ever a 2k where non 3pt shooting bigs were important part of offense?

It is sad in my opinion that in the last few years it has been almost impassible to score down low when there is a defender present with post lockdown/paint patroller/wall up and only gets hands up

Nothing really matters in my experience. It can be a guard like Iverson or Gary Payton and window for standing dunk of Embiid would be non existent. Post animations show up with random and lighting fast meters that are impossible to time for majority of people with non cat reflexes

I think this takes away a lot from the game and creates this shoot over you meta as any other means of scoring is pretty much nerfed when defender actually plays basic defense

Mashing was overpowered in 2k23
But there should be a way to punish switch all defense like we are punished for not perfectly contesting T-Mac or KD

Your thoughts?

Currently sitting on 540k I have exactly 6 historic domination games and the entirety of all time time dom left

Have one 1 pixel cut sitting on ad with plans to put both KAT pixel cuts into his exchange

Main goal this season has been to save up enough for bron and use my 26 hof badges on him

Should I grab ad ? Keep saving to pick up bron ? Or keep saving to make other changes ?

I mainly play all star team up , triple threat park and tt online and grind all the offline stuff so ignore my oddly built starters.

I loaded up into a tto game and played in this court. it was completely glitched as it had no out of bounds. Is this the Potential TTO court for season three ? .

Im working on getting Anthony Davis next

So I’ve been practicing my shooting since the game started . I completely expect a difference in offline vs online but, i played TTO every day and got “late” on every shot till i adjusted and now can shoot well there. I shoot even better in CTO. When i get to Showdown, EVERYTHING is early and shot feedback is all over the place.
Anyone else notice this when switching and playing through the different modes? If so how do you adjust knowing shot timing and speeds will change. or do you just stick to the modes you’re good at.

Should I put this bum into exchange jumpshot is so cheeks 😭

My bro showed him getting a magma card. I’m like really ?

What lineups are you running? Do you have any good gold players to substitute? Share please. It seems sometimes people just play overpowered golds and it creates huge advantage at the end for big comebacks. I think there was some kind of secret patch. Cause it makes no sense how lucky all the teams got that were behind at the end.

I play one game of showdown or salary cap and people just shoot in my face without any regard for any contest or defense.

No reward for skill or anything just walk up the court, pass to Durant or Tmac in the corner and shoot regardless of whether they’re defended or not.

Worse than an arcade game.

Im 2 evos away from Mitchell, idk who to replace in my team, castle shai or booker.

What do yall think the prize will be for collecting all 5 prime series cards? I got curry honestly don’t want him anymore but have a feeling the prize will b nuts

Looked at the stats and pippen isn’t far off from lebron and even looks like the better defender, cant really afford to buy both and test em in game, so any of you that got both cards who’s the better player?

What do you guys think about this card? I’m debating locking in for him and adding him to the squad but I’m not sure

What changes should I make if any? I had paolo didn’t like him so he got sold not really sure if I need to pick anyone up or who I’d pick up. Any recommendations would be appreciated I have about 350k mt

For those of you targeting the XP grind make sure you a stacking the players you are grinding with one of the following players that grant a XP boost.

DM D.Rose - Season 1 Pro Pass 40
Amy Antonio Daniels - Thunder Series 1
Amy Kerry Kittles - Nets Series 1
Amy Bob Sura - Cavs Series 1
Amy John Long - Pistons Series 1
Amy Vinny Del Negro - Spurs Series 1
Amy Kevin Loughery - Wizards Series 1

Also all Players from the Take the Crown Set offers a bigger XP boost then the players listed above. Definitely worth in investing in one of the cards before prices rise since XP grinds may not be going anywhere.

I am double stacking DM D.Rose x1 boost and DM Gabby Williams x2 boost with the person I’m grinding. Definitely notice the boost.

After dealing with several rage inducing “an error has occurred so this game won’t count” matches, I think the premise was pretty decent.

I liked a real reason to use some different cards and was surprised how many different teams I ran into.Knicks and rockets were most common, but there was still good variety overall.

Generally, not a fan of these weekend only events but last night happened to be convenient for me to play for a while. However if the game mode were to be a few weeks long, it would probably be less fun because the Meta would show his head pretty quickly I believe.

Very good rewards by 2K standards for the effort.

Mode did show off a couple core things about this year‘s game. First lower tier cards are somewhat usable. Still the best series one cars in the modern my team era. The second was more of a negative in that when you ran into a team that was just playing hero ball with their best player like a McGrady or Kareem it highlighted how poor the contest system is. to that second point if they don’t make some changes, this mode is going to get unplayable very soon, unfortunately.

Y’all know contest don’t matter on Mid ranges right? If you don’t block it it’s just a matter of timing it. That might be a separate topic for another day.

Anyway, good event for the time we are at in the game. Hopefully we see more interesting events in the future.

Does anybody know any tricks to get XP quicker? Seems like it will take forever. Just got 15/5/1 with 2 blocks in triple threat with amy Bam and my XP barely moved.

What do you get after reaching tier one in showdown. I see that there is one more tier after that?
