Creating this thread to talk about and enjoy the fukkery that is NBA 2K19. I know some people play ProAm and Rec. I'm heavy onto MyTeam. The game itself feels good this year, but 2k still ain't shit. Let's talk about it.

I managed to complete a couple of historic sets by redeeming 2 emerald players that cost 3 reward coins a piece, but gave out 15 coins for the completed set. So I ended up with a net of 24 coins, enough to push me over the 60 needed for another Diamond Tier player. I was initially going to go with Diamond Camby, but decided to go with Baron Davis. Moved Lewis to the second team with BD to balance out my diamonds, and moved KD to starting SF.
Starters - AI, Iggy, KD, Issel, The Admiral
Bench - Baron Davis, Harden, Lewis, Lucas, KAT
Curry, Dirk and the others are interchangeable from there

I've been mostly doing MyCareer trying to build up my badges and attributes before playing a bunch more Rec League. Playing a 6'11 PF Athletic Finisher/Rebounder.

Is the badge grind terrible?
Phaze said he had enuff
By Smokey Go To PostIs the badge grind terrible?It's pretty bad, but the overall grind feels better than 2k17. And you can no longer fuck your player over with choices after player creation.

I no longer see the point in starting mycareer before november/december
game needs to be fixed before that and the art is all over the place, some players have action pictures, some don't, some have accessories right, some don't
fuck that, shit is an immersion breaker

I'm just weirded out by the art consistency there too lmao
Badge grind is largely fine this year, all of your drills specifically give you progress to a badge. They also dropped the badge levels, it's now like 5k/15k/40k/90k for Bronze/Silver/Gold/HOF. Not sure of the lower levels last year but HOF was something like 160k. Difficulty level gives you a multiplier too. You can cheese stuff like defensive stopper too. But at some point (like taking 35 threes a game) you get diminishing returns or they outright cap you for some stuff.
You can also get about 1.5k VC a game if you get a good contract, good grade and incentives. Given that you can sim out WITH VC after half time if you're down 11 you can smash through games and get your VC up at a decent rate.
Really Park and Pro-Am/Rec Centre are the only trash modes, and that's mainly because people are to shook to face people with good records or good rep and sharps are shooting 80% from three by cheesing defenders into screen animations to get an open shot. Every clown is wandering around park looking at their phone to check your record, rep and stats before jumping off. If you're pro rep then dudes will walk off their spot as soon as you line up.

Somewhat. Last year you had no guarantee that any drill would help you for a specific badge though so it's gone from complete hot trash to just regular trash.

Yeah that's crazy . The market for Silvers is fuking crazy tho. Pay like 15k MT for some 71 ovr scrub. I'm not sure how Silvers got going like that. Even bronze players are hiked that high. Makes completing sets expensive . And MT can't be bought like VC can, but I guess indirectly it's connected because you use VC for packs which can be sold for MT.
I thought silvers and bronzes are so expensive because people are desperate for the tokens to get rewards? It's completely different to last year where the bronzes were somewhat valuable but the silvers and golds topped out at about 1k MT.

It's true. You get 20 tokens for every completed set. But I don't remember Silvers being this outrageous.
By Smokey Go To Postrvy how long it take you to complete dominationI'm not gonna do fantasy and all time
you know better smokey
no mark eaton can save my trash gameplay

I think it's spiked in the last few weeks as people are completing all of the other challenges

I'm on diamond tier rewards. All players are 60 coins :x. Got Rashard Lewis and Baron Davis. Got 17 coins now. I only have like 10 more sets left for regular NBA teams. They just put up the Heat Check sets tho and they give coins as well.
Diamond Iggy is insane, and i threw diamond shoes on him. He's basically super Kawhi but with 99 driving dunk. With the shoes he has 90 draw foul too. Mid 90s in shooting, and 99 steal lol.
sold a card. completed a set. reward timez. who do i select
melo is fuking unstoppable especially with added badges and shoes, but i already have diamond rashard lewis badged and shoe'd up. melo would give me even more firepower and i can replace amethyst KD with him in the starting lineup.
or do i go with a diamond big to replace robinson

By Smokey Go To PostReed had 10 and 15 in his first game . Eating up the boards.A good ole Louisiana boy, iirc.
Heard Peja is a great card, can't hurt having a 6'9 SG either. Marques Johnson was a beast in previous years too.
By Red Blaster Go To Postpicked this up via gcu
smokey are you playing against others online with myteam or just the cpu
Against others. Playing the myteam unlimited mode for entries into the 250k tournament.

I already have diamond Iggy who's Throwback Elite, but I may cop him if I can before Sat.
So how's the core gameplay in this? Like if I want to just play as the Lakers for a season or whatever? I played a few of the games in the mid 2000s early in the 360/PS3 generation and enjoyed it well enough.
Can't wait to get 100MT from that locker code
Very good. The main shit mode is MyCareer, specifically the Park/Pro-Am side because it's unbalanced and broken. Regular stuff like MyLeague, MyGM and just regular online games are great.
