[barren remnant]

Anything higher than 60%

[dry stirrup]

9/10 your gonna get sold especially since everyone build probably gonna get nerfed/patched in a week

[bronze eagle]

those 3s are definitely getting nerferd
i jus seen choc green from the other court with a almost 7ft build

[barren remnant]

Appreciate it 👍🏾

[placid rapids]

bro i’m never running randoms on park again

my % was 47.8

[dry stirrup]

That’s why I play theater 1s

[placid rapids]

out of like 3k games

[dry stirrup]

I’m hopping they got it when the game drops

[placid rapids]

ya they have theatre again

[timid stratus]

Good Morning everyone

[dry stirrup]

Theater 1s your best option tbh

Then find someone then move to the park

Theater the best game mode they added tbh

[placid rapids]

i’m boutta make a 6’4 2 way guard again

[dry stirrup]

I’ma use my 6’8-9

Then follow up with a post scorer

[placid rapids]

i heard the games more faster with taller builds

in 2k25 it was so slow bruh

[ashen void]

Im sick it doesnt drop till 9

[placid rapids]

any build over 6’5

[bronze eagle]

bro what?
dont it release like 5pm GMT???

[obsidian blade]

He’s talking abt his timezone prob

[pastel monolith]

Dunk meter hella broken this year

[obsidian blade]

It releases 12 PM est

[ashen void]

@bronze eagle I live in cali

[placid rapids]

12pm est is so trash

jn*

[obsidian blade]

Yall can convert the time to ur standard time

[bronze eagle]

ahhh i see

[jade glen]

Release date mofoooooos

[bronze eagle]

im at work so the second i get home servers should be live😏

[jade glen]

Who’s up for helping me make a build later on ? I’m new to nba

[placid rapids]

i’m sick that they didn’t add the all star mode again in play now

[bronze eagle]

knowing these man tho theres gonna be a whole queue b4 we can jump in

[placid rapids]

i’d refund my shi

i didn’t buy early access to wait dawg

[ashen void]

😂

[placid rapids]

🤣

[pastel monolith]

Who thinks we gonna have a good game this year?

[bronze eagle]

this bruddah crazy🤣

[bronze eagle]

nah
they already got 7 ft centers greening from the other side of the court

so a patch will come

[bronze eagle]

then no one will be able to shoot

[placid rapids]

my badge chart in 25 was crazy

🤣

[pastel monolith]

This is so bad

They wanna talk about “realistic” with every dumb feature they put in the game, but name a 7 footer who does that

[bronze eagle]

check ur dm
i sent the video

[pastel monolith]

Yo wtf

Day 1

Doing stuff like that

[icy relic]

6-7 more hours

who’s excited

[pastel monolith]

Man I’m so happy I didn’t pay for this 💩

[icy relic]

ur lying

[shrewd robin]

I cant surely say that we're gonna have a gud game dis year.

Content wise, its decent.

MyCareer is the best its been for like 8 years now.

TheCity and Parks were gorgeous and well made.

But knowing 2k, theres always that one patch that changes the game to the point the whole landscape changes.

[icy relic]

i give it 2 weeks till they nerf stretch bigs

[bronze eagle]

ill send u the video too

[pastel monolith]

Just bring back some diversity, 25 was at a point all guards play the exact same style it was so boring

[icy relic]

please bro

[icy relic]

same builds too

[pastel monolith]

99 three 91 speed with ball 91 steal

[bronze eagle]

sent

[shrewd robin]

The shooting, defense, rebounding, dribbling are literally everything we asked for perfected.

[icy relic]

and that big man with 99 board, 99 pass acc and 99 interior defense

[pastel monolith]

Moving fades were more consistent than standing shots which just can’t be

[icy relic]

with 500 cap breakers

[shrewd robin]

But like i said, its too soon to buy 2k26 or another 2k in general.

Its literally one patch away from being as mid as 2k25 was.

[pastel monolith]

With the 99 per 99 steal 92 speed lock

And u play against those teams non stop

[bronze eagle]

u seen it?

[icy relic]

yes, that js ruined my mood

that’s a broken controller if that happened to me

[brazen belfry]

What will be the best way to find a good crew?

[pastel monolith]

Its truly a talent to come up with games that make 2k24 look like a masterpiece

[shrewd robin]

If it were me, i would say the MyCareer story was the biggest improvement over 2k25.

But the fact they NEEDED spike lee to top what he did back in 2k16 is crazy.

[icy relic]

because it’s like the most broken build in the game

u genuinely cannot stop it

[icy relic]

i was so happy when they brought back spike lee

especially after 10 year decade of 16

[pastel monolith]

Just wait a month and the game is broken

Cap breaker builds, 7 footers pulling from half court

[bronze eagle]

they already doing that mehnnnn

[shrewd robin]

The story was well structured, short, and made the NBA Draft thing hella worth it.

Was there tragedy like 2k16? Hell no.

But there was some effort put into it.

There was more to the story aside from things happening in MyCourt and 2 characters yapping.

Parents exist again too, after being gone for over 5 years

[pastel monolith]

Wym thoooo

Bruh nobody should be able to pull from half

The problem with 2k right there👆🏻

U guys enjoying stuff like that

[shrewd robin]

As long as we got a good contest system.

And a clear guideline on MPs strengths and weaknesses (which we literally do).

We should be fine

I rlly dont want kids screaming they cant defend or contest crap.

[pastel monolith]

Make it look like basketball again

[pastel monolith]

I don’t think we will, based on what I saw it’s still hard to get a contest and most shots say “open”

Plus contested shots go in with ease

[shrewd robin]

Its rlly because people have a hard time dictating wether they were properly contesting,

or they were too late and the shot was open by the time they tried to contest.

I also had this problem

[bronze eagle]

ahh ok so the 7ft center with a 65 3ball should be able to shoot from the other side of the court?

[shrewd robin]

Mike Wang explained this in some interview i think, idk

[bronze eagle]

maybe not a 65 that was an exaggeration but let me show u a video rq

[shrewd robin]

Im never gonna get used to a big/center chucking 3s.

But one thing i learned from the AI is:

The bigger u are, the easier the steals people get from you

If ur not a big and are going for park, u gotta up those steals and D.

[bronze eagle]

ok
but a big
shooting from that far
not even half court man
it makes no sense

not a 95 3 ball

[arctic flicker]

Anyone know if 2klabs is updated with the new sigs and stuff

[bronze eagle]

look at the video

cause if the center can shoot that deep
then a pg with 91 3ball should be able to shoot from his own basket right?

look at the video

thats with badges thats not even gold yet

so the bruddah with most likely silver limitless range
and is a center with lets highball here 89 3 point shooting
is able to shoot from the other courts 3 point line
and u say its fair?
come on dawgg

oh i wish everyone could see this video and we will see whose side they take

hes not even close to the halfway line

those are guards
im talking bout a center

its in ur dm

[pastel monolith]

If size wasn’t a factor mayyyyybe

But if 7 footers can dominate the paint, dribble and shoot fading 3s why on earth would u even need a guard

[bronze eagle]

did u see the video?

[shrewd robin]

The issue is contesting..

Yk what?

Gng which attributes works for contesting best

[pastel monolith]

Why? I’ll have a big with 80 ball handle

[bronze eagle]

let me show u the video
tell me if its fair

[pastel monolith]

My point is guards should be guards and bigs should be bigs, that’s the balance

[bronze eagle]

ive sent the video

so first of all
y tf is a center able to get a 90 3 ball in the first place?

[pastel monolith]

Legiannis how long u been playing 2k bro?

[bronze eagle]

so a 6'2 guard with max wingspan should be able to standing dunk on a 7ft center
lets make it fair yea

[shrewd robin]

Its that guys fault for not contesting that shot.

Speaking of which.

Instead of going for metas.

People should start looking at well rounded builds.

Too many times do we have cases where they're attributes are offense, no defense.

So it ends up being a case of:

Oh crap i cant contest or defend properly.

[pastel monolith]

Would u say 25 was a good game?

[bronze eagle]

yall saying this bearing in mind the guy has not even maxed out his badges

and is shooting from the other court

[pastel monolith]

Not even halfway. It’s day 1 and u can already do stuff like that it’s a horrible look

[shrewd robin]

It had many flaws, but it was a decent game.

Its just plagued with grinding and progression problems

And shifting metas.

2k26 kinda fixes this issue tho

[bronze eagle]

the game just came out wtf😭

howwwwww

[pastel monolith]

I’m on 2k since 2k9 and I honestly think 25 was the worst

[bronze eagle]

i think 22 with that damn speed boost was the worst

hated it

got people jus speedboost glitching around screens all day

no dribble move in sight

[pastel monolith]

25 just felt like I didn’t control the game

Make a good build u never lose

Make a fun build and lose

I had a 6’6 99 middy and I could go on a 20 game streak in the stage 1s without even doing anything

Just Kobe fade over everybody, always said “open” no matter how they contested me

I realised there that it’s a game of builds

[shrewd robin]

I had this crazy build 6'5 85 3 pointer, 80 middy.

74 OVR

Bro can do shots anywhere, and they'll go in.

However he has a weakness.

He can barely block nor stop drive to the rims.

Contest wise he's cheeks.

And he cant dunk or layup without being cooked by anyone or missing.

Thus why i say, its best to have an all rounder build.

He's not 85 or 99, because i never really spend money on vc, barely spend crap on attributes 🤷

[chilly rock]

can't wait for early access

[strong dirge]

I can’t sleep😭

[obsidian blade]

Dawg

U said u were sleeping like 5 hrs ago

Get some rest u got 2k in 6ish hrs

[craggy stag]

Hi all!! 📸🎮🏀🤙🏻

[odd cove]

[jagged fiber]

Melo version

If you just want the VC/MT and to play early Melo best Value. $150 version not worth it otherwise imo.

[obsidian blade]

Melo, u get 110k vc the. Buy pro pass for 10 or hof if u want hof for 20

That’s 120 max

Then 40 dollars for vc

And u get more vc

[strong dirge]

Smart guy

[prime cedar]

I need help

Can anyone share the game so I can have a duo

[grim cloak]

L2 cheese is back..

[obsidian blade]

The 150 is simply not worth it. People r like its free pro pass, look that’s a marketing stunt. 100 dollar for ss and then pro pass is 10 and u paying 40 extra for that like ???

[prime cedar]

Yo will anybody be willing to share play

[grim cloak]

Not even finna waste my time tryna break streaks

[strong dirge]

Not really i don’t think it’s as powerful

[obsidian blade]

U get more free pro pass duh but its for like seasons 8+ not worth the value

[grim cloak]

Ill see

[strong dirge]

Ok goodnight yall im going back to sleep

[strong dirge]

@obsidian blade

[obsidian blade]

Night dawg

Get ur rest

[obsidian blade]

U don’t lose anything for breaking streaks or playing

U get more vc the higher it is

If u snap it

[prime cedar]

Yo

[obsidian blade]

That incentivizes imo

[prime cedar]

Share play anyone?

[obsidian blade]

No dawg

[prime cedar]

Alr

Will anyone else share play

[grim cloak]

I dont wanna cook my plate tho

The goat lvls

[obsidian blade]

U won’t need to cook ur plate

If ur good u can combat the l2

[oblique ridge]

[obsidian blade]

For consoles yes pc no

[grim cloak]

Hopefully my irls make good guard builds lmao

Like a 7’1

Dribble god

[oblique ridge]

stuck as a 3s lock every year

[obsidian blade]

I mean if u running w irls they won’t care abt ur win percentage

[oblique ridge]

corner sitter on O

[obsidian blade]

6’11 kd do it all build seems really op this year

[obsidian blade]

My type build tbh

Footers have had insane stats last year too but game play didn’t allow it for it

[timid stratus]

Appreciate it

[grim cloak]

💔 🥀

[obsidian blade]

Lock this year gonna be a safe option if u seen the game play

Cuz d1 no one gonna have pass acc, lanes are good this year and so r blitzes

Like yeah no on ball steal animations but the animations u get from lanes and blitz? Gg

[pastel monolith]

Are 6’8 build back?

[obsidian blade]

Yes

[grim cloak]

I was thinking of going 6’10 lock like 24 but

Idk

[obsidian blade]

Crews won’t be hard to find this year

It’s more “affiliation” then like a must need imo

[pastel monolith]

🥳🥳🥳

[obsidian blade]

Like at the start the crews will help

Bc the 4 cap breakers

[pastel monolith]

Do we get a cap beaker in level 40 of every season again?

[obsidian blade]

Those r unknown

But this season u get 1

For 40

Season rewards we will have to see for future

[pastel monolith]

💪

I’m probably going 6’8 iso this year

And I’ll hope screen are dead after how op they were in 25

[obsidian blade]

Nah screens still op

But iso will be viable this year

[thin saddle]

2k good again?

[grim cloak]

Looks like it

[pastel monolith]

😭

I hate screens so much

Is the 2s post up thing still works?

[obsidian blade]

In terms of play styles yes

Seems like it

[obsidian blade]

Yeah

L2 cheese is still in there

[pastel monolith]

When the big Tryna post up the guard to get his guard open for 3

[obsidian blade]

Mhm

[pastel monolith]

Bruh that’s terrible so they didn’t change a thing

[sacred pewter]

If i wanna buy extra vc for ppl how do i do that?

Im feeling a bit generous rn

[drifting jacinth]

what do you mean

gift cards prolly the best option

[sacred pewter]

but hpw can i get the gift cards online

[obsidian blade]

Wym

U buy em a gift card

That’s the safest bet

[thin saddle]

so is it worth buying?

[grim cloak]

Cdkeys

[drifting jacinth]

depends like where you from

[obsidian blade]

Everyone has their own opinion but yes

[sacred pewter]

I hate buying them through amazon bc amazon takes a minute to send me the code

[drifting jacinth]

coz lets say u american u gotta buy one thtats american otherwise u wont be able to redeem them

[obsidian blade]

Uh just search like Xbox gift card or psn gift card email delivery

Or if ur talking abt pc

[grim cloak]

Cdkeys

[sacred pewter]

.

[obsidian blade]

Just buy them off like Walmart website or best buy

[grim cloak]

Discounted gift cards and games

[obsidian blade]

Cd keys gonna save u tho

[sacred pewter]

They take a while too

[obsidian blade]

I mean they all do u just gotta wait yk

[obsidian blade]

What platform y tryna buy them for

Cuz it also depends on the platform

[sacred pewter]

Xbox n psn

[obsidian blade]

Like some take shorter times

[drifting jacinth]

yea and also where u from

[obsidian blade]

Oof no love for steam players 😂

[obsidian blade]

I’d suggest cdkeys or g2a

[drifting jacinth]

yall getting games regularly on steam??

[obsidian blade]

They r cheaper generally

[obsidian blade]

Yeah cheaters aren’t as bad on oc

Pc*

As before

[drifting jacinth]

i bet they worse on console

[sacred pewter]

I wanted to get 35,000 vc for a few ppl

[obsidian blade]

Like 90% of cheaters gone

[sacred pewter]

but it’s difficult

[obsidian blade]

Cd keys and like g2a u save more

Like psn and Xbox codes let’s say are 50 dollars right

[sacred pewter]

The 35,000 vc cost $10.88 but if i get them the $10 code they gonna miss the 0.88 cents

[obsidian blade]

Then on cd and g2a u get em for like 40 45

[drifting jacinth]

i never understood how that works

[hot robin]

Can somebody share me ?
PS5

[obsidian blade]

Just get them the vc gc then

[sacred pewter]

How

[obsidian blade]

Like there’s the vc gift card for ur homies

[storm berry]

I can share on xbox not free tho dm me

[obsidian blade]

“Vc pack 2k26” is what u search

They might not be out yet tho

[drifting jacinth]

https://www.g2a.com/category/psn-c1567

[obsidian blade]

Bc the game don’t launch til 5ish hrs

[sacred pewter]

I wish ps or 2k had a gifting option

[obsidian blade]

Yeah they should add that

[storm berry]

I can share on xbox not free tho dm me

[obsidian blade]

It’d be safer and more people prob would spend more/gift

[drifting jacinth]

builds still cost the same

[sacred pewter]

I slept 6 hours bruh

I need more sleep

It’s not 12 yet

[drifting jacinth]

u got 5 hours till the release

[sacred pewter]

Yea so ima go back to sleep

[grim cloak]

On xbox look up vc in the microsoft store and theres a gift option

[sacred pewter]

Im on ps

[grim cloak]

Ok nvm use cd keys

[sacred pewter]

whats cd keys

are they legit

[grim cloak]

Site of discounted games and giftcards

Ye

[obsidian blade]

It’s a website u can get cheaper gift cards or games

It’s legit

[grim cloak]

Superstar edition on there is $97 and in xbox its $108

[obsidian blade]

As I made the 50$ value generally being 40-45 for the buyer

[obsidian blade]

Analogy

[drifting jacinth]

U get the account that bougut the vame right?

[obsidian blade]

Nope

U get a key

U enter

It depends on what u buy

[grim cloak]

^

[obsidian blade]

Some says ACCOUNT which is against tos

So I’d buy the KEY

Not account

[drifting jacinth]

Gotchu coz i was lookin few days ago for a game to kill time before 26

[jade glen]

I wanna play but got 5 hours till it comes out in uk 🙁

[obsidian blade]

It’s 5 hrs for everyone

[jade glen]

Aww fair enough

[obsidian blade]

Just watch one movie that’s -2 hrs

[drifting jacinth]

Global release

[jade glen]

Aww I see thanks

[obsidian blade]

Or just watch like build videos or gameplay so u know what ur getting

[grim cloak]

I randomly woke up ima go back to sleep

6am

[obsidian blade]

Cuz u can watch other players see what mistakes they make and not make em urself

[drifting jacinth]

Pls dont wqtch build videos they all sre easte of vc

[obsidian blade]

This

[jade glen]

What’s the max rating I’ll get up to using the points I got for superstar edition

[drifting jacinth]

Like 80

[obsidian blade]

About 70

[jade glen]

Fair enough

[obsidian blade]

Depends on what ur build has

[obsidian blade]

Nope

Saw someone and 78 is 120k vc

[drifting jacinth]

U can get an 80 85 is 190k

[jade glen]

Tbh I’m new to nba

[edgy lodge]

Who all buying it for series x

[drifting jacinth]

Depende if they lets say max out a stat thats high and it codts more

[obsidian blade]

It depends on what ur attributes r

Ya

That’s what I’m saying

But superstar gets 100k base vc

Plus the 10k preorder

So it’s 110k vc

110k vc is abt at 75 ovr

[drifting jacinth]

Ye but there are ways to get vc a bit wuicker this yr

[obsidian blade]

I get that but they said off rip based off of just the edition

So that’s why I said 78

I’ll be around 75-80 with just base vc

Itll*

[sacred pewter]

I just got scammed

It’s not giving me my code

[obsidian blade]

Wym u got scammed

[sacred pewter]

Nvm

[obsidian blade]

I was abt to say u sure u went right website LMAO

[sacred pewter]

Im pressing give me code n its not popping up

[obsidian blade]

It takes some time to generate and they send u an email once the code is ready

Like give it 1-5 mins

It also depends on ur seller

Like inside cd keys there’s diff sellers

[drifting jacinth]

man i really wanna run double ISO lock on 2s all year

[obsidian blade]

And it depends on them too if they have product

[drifting jacinth]

is cd keys also legit

[obsidian blade]

Yes

[sacred pewter]

Okay i got the codes

[obsidian blade]

They r

[sacred pewter]

@obsidian blade what u play on

[obsidian blade]

I’m on steam this year

[sacred pewter]

Damn i didnt buy for steam

[obsidian blade]

All g

Bless ur homies dawg

They’ll be more grateful

Tbh

Then some person online

[drifting jacinth]

just peeped good pricec

[obsidian blade]

Yeah a lot of pc users use cd keys to get a lot of games cheaper

[sacred pewter]

Oh i definitely will

[obsidian blade]

Like let’s say for example Elden ring right

Is 60 dollars

If it go on sale

U can cop it for like 5 dollars

[sacred pewter]

Yea i see all the gift cards on sale there

[obsidian blade]

Mhm like it’s crazy how cheap it is, a lot of pc users known it and u can get console games too

Like what I did last year was buy it for my series x I bought 2k25 for like 7 dollars

Like around thanksgiving

[sacred pewter]

Damn

[drifting jacinth]

damn with the code or account

[obsidian blade]

Code don’t buy account

It’s against tos first of all

And very high chance u get banned

[drifting jacinth]

i almost bought a steam account one like few days ago

[obsidian blade]

Yeah my friend thought it was a key and he did that too

And the acc got banned 2 weeks later

He got refund

But

I’d always go with the “key”

[drifting jacinth]

yea fs

[obsidian blade]

Slightly more expensive but still cheaper then buying from the thing

Like the actual company

[drifting jacinth]

damn superstar editiion for 78€

[obsidian blade]

U can get superstar edition on cd keys rn for less than 100 dollars

Yeah

So I’m
Going off American prices right

Let’s say u have 100 to spend

Buy the key on cd keys

U get it for like 70-90 dollars depending on seller

The ss edition

Which is normally 100 dollars

Now I got options for vc

Ykwim?

[drifting jacinth]

and u get extra 10-30

yessir

[obsidian blade]

Exactly

[drifting jacinth]

but ive just seen vc packs aswell on cd keys

[obsidian blade]

I honestly buy the vc packs straight from 2k

Yes they’re more expensive but much more like reliable

[drifting jacinth]

yeah kinda wouldnt buy vc from anything else thne 2k

[obsidian blade]

And less time consuming imo

[oblique ridge]

anyone else’s game downloading slow af? i usually get 100 mbps and my game is downloading at 30 max

[drifting jacinth]

and 2k keen to ban people that do that aswell

[obsidian blade]

The codes r legit tho

[obsidian blade]

They won’t bc the buyers buy off of 2k

And then resell

Yk

[drifting jacinth]

ohh

[obsidian blade]

It’s actual vc codes

So yes it’s legit but instead of waiting like 1-5 mins for the code for vc

U just going the game

And then buy it yk

IMO

But buying the GAME? Cdkeys def the wave

[drifting jacinth]

i see

[odd cove]

mine downloaded pretty quick

[obsidian blade]

U can save like 3-30 dollars

[obsidian blade]

Depends on ur internet provider

I get 1 gbps

lol

[drifting jacinth]

ye american internet jus superior ngl

[obsidian blade]

It’s that I have fibre

And I live in a pretty nice area

[sacred pewter]

My game downloaded in like 30-45 minutes

[obsidian blade]

That’s not bad how big was it on console

I’m
Not getting it day1 on console

[sacred pewter]

Plus if it’s on rest mode it go faster

[obsidian blade]

Gonna play some pc prob

[drifting jacinth]

115 gb on playstation

mine took like 8-9 hours

[obsidian blade]

Oh it’s over 100 gb again on consoles?

Some said it’s less I thought

[drifting jacinth]

yeah

[sacred pewter]

It was like 115

2k25 was like around 150

[obsidian blade]

Should take me less than 10 mins

LOL

Cuz pc can’t predownload again this year

[odd cove]

mine only took 15-20

mins

[pastel monolith]

5 more hours

[obsidian blade]

Yeah it depends on ur internet speed

[pastel monolith]

Such a weird release time

[obsidian blade]

It’s bc it’s for global

[sacred pewter]

Im about to go take a walk for cardio

[obsidian blade]

they wanted a time that works decent for the world

[sacred pewter]

to waste time

[odd cove]

ppl kept changing their location to australia for the game

[spring cove]

Guys, is it even possible to play 2k if u dont donate for VC i mean is it worth for park etc...

[obsidian blade]

Doing sum productive gg

[drifting jacinth]

yeah australians got the worst time ngl

[odd cove]

2 am i think

[pastel monolith]

I was about to do it this year to lol

[obsidian blade]

12 pm est is not bad tbh for most people on a Friday

For early access

[drifting jacinth]

yeah i feel like us europeans got the best one for sure 6pm

[obsidian blade]

Rs

[pastel monolith]

For Europe pretty bad 6 pm

[drifting jacinth]

no we got the best one

[obsidian blade]

Bc Europeans get it afternoon/evening Americans get it in mornings and then Asians get it around like 12am

Which is midnight

But that’s PERFRCT if it’s a Friday

And guess what

For Asians it alr is Friday

[drifting jacinth]

yall make sure to check if u got some xbox or playstation points for free vc

[obsidian blade]

Cuz most people do not work on eeekenfs or can stay up

So the time is actually not bad

[odd cove]

feel bad for those with school till 3 in us

[sacred pewter]

@obsidian blade do the cd keys codes expire?

[obsidian blade]

Rs

[obsidian blade]

No

[sacred pewter]

Okay thanks

[obsidian blade]

Go to the official 2k website

They say it’s 12pm est for everyone

[sacred pewter]

12

[next sierra]

Really??

[obsidian blade]

And they also dropped a graphic

[drifting jacinth]

i really dont like that content creators got one day early

[obsidian blade]

Yes 12 pm
EST

[pastel monolith]

How much will a build cost this year? 200k enough?

[obsidian blade]

It’s in less than 5 hrs

[obsidian blade]

Depends on ur attributes

[drifting jacinth]

same as 25

[obsidian blade]

But 200k enough to get to 85

[spring cove]

Guys, is it worth to buy regular game for park i or i need to donate something extras ?

[obsidian blade]

Wdym regular standard don’t get early access

It’s the 100 dollar one for early access and yes if then bc majority are park players

[next sierra]

Its only 1 extra day. It aint all that great all u have to do is buy enough vc and its basically the same thing lol

[obsidian blade]

Yes and no people complaining for the rep grind

[next sierra]

But thank u guys for letting me know the actual time

[obsidian blade]

Bc 1 whole day is huge

[spring cove]

how much time i need to get my player to 99 if i dont donate for VC

[obsidian blade]

For the people who r non content creators who wanna be top rep

So they think it’s unfair

[drifting jacinth]

ye but we alr get it 5 days early, if they got like 5 hours earlier then us id understand but a whole day is just insnae

[obsidian blade]

Uh idk the exact numbers but 200k vc for 85 around that

[next sierra]

Oh yeah well they get paid for it you can still catch up to them they content creators so its kinda "their job" but we can still be on the same level but if not that be right behind them

[spring cove]

How much playtime is 200k VC depend, like 60-70 hours of gameplay ?

[obsidian blade]

It’s their marketing stunt but imo they should not be able to get rep bc some people view as unfair as they paid 30 extra for early access and instead of dropping it TOGETHER some content creators get the game for free and they get rep and stuff

[obsidian blade]

Depends on mode

[obsidian blade]

Yes I understand it but I’m saying some people conplaining bc of that reason Ykwim?

[next sierra]

True I understand that completely

[drifting jacinth]

yeah i agree some ppl opportunity is top rep and it kinda gets ruined this way

[obsidian blade]

Like obviously 2k is a company they wanna profit but I honestly think getting hype is good but calling it even for the top rep grind is not it

Like they SHOULD be able to play game early but no rep imo

[next sierra]

Well I aint to fond of most them 2k streamers anyway mfkers got to much of an ego for me

[obsidian blade]

Bc people r gonna find ways to complain and say it’s unfair

[obsidian blade]

Rs

I don’t got a problem bc they worked to become a creator

[drifting jacinth]

yeah adn some of them aint play the game in 11 months lmao

[obsidian blade]

Ykwim?

Like they put blood sweat and tears to grow as a content creator

[next sierra]

Its other people that deserve to be content creators too tho

[obsidian blade]

But some people just don’t view it the same

[next sierra]

Like me

[obsidian blade]

They think content creators just take no skill and they get clout for no reason

[obsidian blade]

We get that and that’s why people say the top rep grind is unfair

Bc how did choc blow up

[next sierra]

U see how they saying 6'6 - 6'9 suppose to be meta or whatever

[obsidian blade]

He was top rep on 2p?

[next sierra]

They got that from me lol

[obsidian blade]

20? 21?

And they’re saying smaller creators basically have no chance to grow in size bc of the advantage some creators get

[next sierra]

I had the best 6'6 in 25 but they won't give me my credit

[obsidian blade]

Which I get bc if u top rep u get some clout

Like
First legend on 26 gonna get some exposure

[next sierra]

I spend as much time and money if not more just like the content creators on the damn game

[spring cove]

Is there any giveaway activated right now ?

[obsidian blade]

I get that which is why people saying it’s unfair

Bc some don’t play or don’t even PAY

But 2k is a company and they want exposure

So if they getting views 2k profitting

They’re greedy yes imo

[next sierra]

I pre-order the highest version 2k25 and 26 you would think they'd give me something extra as well even tho im not a content creator

[deep mason]

I agree I just said that too and it’s taking content from ppl who wanna start making content I was gonna make a informational video on L2ing to see if it’s nerfed for the community but I think wavy mello or ej already did it

[obsidian blade]

But some creators put in hours of work too to grow so I understand why 2k do that imo

[deep mason]

It’s totally unfair

[obsidian blade]

Which I see why people be complaining

[pastel monolith]

With that u can already play?

[obsidian blade]

But u gotta look from company perspective too, right? Their job is to sell their stuff get hype and stuff and what’s the easiest with least investment? Cont creators

So they r taking the lazy approach

And I do get it’s unfair and see why

But they doing what’s best for them and they fam Ykwim?

They tryna make bread like rest of us

[deep mason]

But they already have a community it’s not like ppl from Fortnite is gonna come from that game to 2k.2k already have loyal ppl

[obsidian blade]

So can’t hate on em too much

[next sierra]

If im just a regular person no content or anything and I can get the highest version of the game 2 years in a row u would think I can promote the game too tho

[obsidian blade]

U def can and should be able to

Which is why I see why some people find it unfair

[next sierra]

Not sure. Wife broke my ps5 last week so going to buy a new one once I drop kids off to school

[wary urchin]

thats why theres a 1 week early access

[pastel monolith]

Damn

[wary urchin]

are you forgetting that

[next sierra]

No

[pastel monolith]

I hope she did it accidentally lol

[wary urchin]

they only got 1 day extra of early access and youre crying

[next sierra]

Yeah it was by accident so I couldn't be that mad

[obsidian blade]

Which they put their blood sweat and tears on to get that level of subs or whatever

So I understand why they got that and why 2k did that

[wary urchin]

at the end of the day , its only 1 day

[obsidian blade]

But at the same time I also feel why the community is angry it’s not fair Ykwim?

[obsidian blade]

Rs

[wary urchin]

idk why people are mad

[next sierra]

I said the same thing

[obsidian blade]

And u can see what the creators did wrong so u don’t make same mistake

[obsidian blade]

People find ways to complain either way bro

Idk why people trippin over it

[obsidian blade]

Like if u think being a content creator is that easy do it grow to that size like dawggg

[obsidian blade]

Rs

Some aren’t as privileged as others

So idk why people complaining they got 1 day early access

[obsidian blade]

OOP

RS

[obsidian blade]

And u can learn from cc mistakes

Like let’s say they made a build or they elevated a useless badge

[wary urchin]

people think they so good at this game but then dont rep up an quit 😂

[obsidian blade]

U see and not do the same

[obsidian blade]

Rs

I’m going top rep 2k this year on pc

And prob gonna make content this year bc 2k looks dope

[wary urchin]

like this is the time to be grinding badges , 99 overall like come on

[obsidian blade]

Planning to

[obsidian blade]

That’s what imma do

[wary urchin]

and now that were a week early we should be slamming kids on 2k september 5th

[obsidian blade]

Bc it’s 7 day early access to the standard edition

[obsidian blade]

Rs

[sacred pewter]

Ppl are mad bc cc get to rep up first but mind u they literally make a living off this it’s basically their job

[obsidian blade]

Rs and they grew to that size bc they put the work in

They grinding too

[sacred pewter]

Exactly

[obsidian blade]

It’s not just playing the game all day

Like they gotta edit

They gotta make it entertaining

They gotta lab up

They gotta do this and that too lol

[wary urchin]

the people complaining are wannabe streamers that aint makin it out the hood w 2k

[sacred pewter]

the same ppl rushing for 26 is the same ppl who quit 25🤣

[obsidian blade]

Obviously less taxing than a 9-5 but u cannot be saying they don’t deserve it

[wary urchin]

actin like they finna be dribble gods 🤣

[obsidian blade]

Rs

25 was cheeks tho

I can’t cap

[sacred pewter]

If they was fine for a few months theyll be fine for 1 more day

[wary urchin]

they was good for a year 😭

[obsidian blade]

I had 70+ wpc in all my games after 19 with over 400 games in each

[sacred pewter]

Word

[obsidian blade]

But 25 was cheeks

But not as cheeks as people make it seem

[sacred pewter]

Nah no cap ima take this time to clean the house before the game start

[wary urchin]

i play w randoms alot so my wins are buns , but had 60% 3 and field goal 💔

[obsidian blade]

The only “bad “ was rng shooting

[obsidian blade]

Sheeesh

[obsidian blade]

Rs

That’s good

[drifting jacinth]

nah cmon now lets be fr

[obsidian blade]

Then u don’t gotta do it when game drops

[sacred pewter]

Me too i play w randoms but for this year i need a crew tho

[next sierra]

Any of u guys have early release today as well?

[obsidian blade]

No I’m saying terms of game play

[obsidian blade]

Me

[wary urchin]

ofc

5 more hours

[past venture]

[drifting jacinth]

there were way more issues

[next sierra]

I will have to add you guys

[obsidian blade]

I’m talking about the main thing

[sacred pewter]

4 hours and 36 minutes

[proper edge]

Anyone brought 2k on ps5

[next sierra]

I did

[obsidian blade]

25 wasn’t that bad besides rng shooting imo but that is just my opinion

In terms of gameplay

And dribbling

[sacred pewter]

Nah i mess w the rythm shooting ngl

I got used to it

[proper edge]

Anyway to get discount

[sacred pewter]

At first it took me a while to get it

[obsidian blade]

I think everyone who was decent rhythm shot

Last year

I liked it

But I don’t think it necessarily added a skill gap

[drifting jacinth]

it was unbalanced towards button this year its way more balanced between 2

[next sierra]

Nah its already discounted the leave no doubt edition

Its 134.99 org price i think was 149.99

10% OFF so total was 143.09

[obsidian blade]

Leave no doubt is not worth imo

[next sierra]

Not a discount in my eyes but whatever lol

[obsidian blade]

lol

[gilded karma]

Crew?

[next sierra]

Its somewhat worth it @obsidian blade

Last year it wasn't this year it is

[obsidian blade]

u can get more for superstar edition buy pro or hof pass then get 20-30 vc

[gilded karma]

Maybe crew idk abt clan. I gotta see if yall good

[obsidian blade]

And ud get way more imo

[drifting jacinth]

last year it was worth it coz you would get a league pass for nba

[primal turtle]

The removal of league pass makes it not worth it no more

[obsidian blade]

Like yeah it has “free pro pass” for 3 seasons but it’s 10 dollars

[next sierra]

Lol smart man I did that calculation last night before I did my pre-order but u still gonna end up spending more if you do that

[obsidian blade]

Rs

[next sierra]

You gonna fall short

[obsidian blade]

No u won’t

The only reason it’s worth is league pass

[gilded karma]

You already got people in the crew?

[obsidian blade]

But u get way more vc from 100 then spending that 50 on either passes or vc

[proper edge]

Check DMs

[next sierra]

You could do that with 25 it made sense but this year they made sure u had to pick one or the other and even with the leave no doubt edition u still gotta kick out more bread but not as much as if u got the superstar edition

[gilded karma]

Yall be running rec? What builds yall got?

[next sierra]

Considering u dont buy season pass level up to 40

[obsidian blade]

I’ve saw the rewards and calculations but I’m saying if u have 150 to spare to spend on a game u enjoy first off congrats and good for u

[gilded karma]

Where da tryhards at? Ima have 2 85 ovr

[obsidian blade]

But I’m saying to those that can barely afford 100-150 right

[gilded karma]

?

[next sierra]

Yeah yeah no of course

[obsidian blade]

It’s better to get 100 edition then spending the 50 on either the passes or vc that’s the BEST out of ur buck is what I’m saying for the people who can barely afford 150

What most people don’t realize in the 2k community is they end up spending more than if u just preordered the game, people r like I have 150 for 2k this year and let’s say that’s ur budget. Some go imma go standard then 70 on vc

Some go

Imma go the highest edition

And some just go as

But I’m saying in terms of best bang out of ur buck

It’s ss edition then 50 dollars on passes or vc packs

[plain oriole]

Ya don't want the smoke wit me

[obsidian blade]

I don’t want smoke w anyone

[lime crypt]

You’re chips

[obsidian blade]

I want the world to be a happy good place

-innocent happy boy

[next sierra]

I love to spread peace and love but I am competitive lol

[plain oriole]

In 2k25 and imma be top in 2k26

[obsidian blade]

Me too in games I’m competitive

But peace and love outside the game

Hell yeah

[plain oriole]

I agree
