1. Takes longer. Already a long grind now just that much more.
2. Does not combo with a different reward ladder like the TT did. If they had changed it to Clutch time at least that would have counted for something.
3. Worse for adding badges through training challenges, objectively harder for some badges versus a triple threat game. I guess you can do a few here and there, but requires almost remaking your entire lineup if you’re adding a badge to a higher tier card.
4. Not good for signature challenge progression. That was one good thing about the Daily triple threat is having D Rose in with a couple guys so you could make some progress as you played. Much less viable now.

NUMBER 5 — ain’t nobody want to play that much salary cap. If you happen to be that one guy congratulations. Be assured you are a small minority, no offense.

Grinds can be long or annoying. Let’s not make them both, please 2K.

My initial experience:

-Matchups are the same

-If you unlocked the final special portal (full clear of the 9x9) you do NOT have to reclear the full board, the portal is there. This is how I got it done fast

-I did unlock 3 of the corners to get the mode completion. There was also a S2 Opal

-Final board had a S2 DM, S2 Opal, 2 season 2 PD, a Dunktober regular pack, a 4k mt spot, and a few lesser prizes. This seems to be the same as last season, just everything bumped up one tier. I expect there will be a rare chance of a Pixel on the final board

-I found difficulty to be roughly the same as someone who predominantly relies on slashing with the occasional jumper or no dip corner 3. In 5 man modes it was tougher to get baskets, but CPU doesn't score much either and you get some passive steals now from CPU. TT I used mainly Iverson/Carter/Warrick and struggled defensively but usually won 22-16 or something similar.

I'm glad they didnt bump up the NBA/WNBA teams, so those are still easier squares but in a short game anything can happen, especially with teams like Warriors and Fever where a Curry/Clark can wreck your day

Got Around 550,000 Mt and don’t know who the best upgrades are. Not bothered about spending some Mt, just want to know the best players to get either if it’s from exchange or the new players. Anything Helps, Thanks!!!

Any recommendations. Know the team is outdated

I love physical bigs this year. I’m sure everyone’s gonna scream Tyson at me over wilt but I promise you I can’t hit the post fade with Tyson like I can Wilt. I do like physical bigs this year, good player builds. How is a badged up Shaq feeling? Any ideas welcome :)

Help!??

I need to know the best way to gain rep in myteam im 95 percent to Ruby 1 playing breakout but havent tried other modes as much!

Myron Gardner plays too? Let’s Go Heat!!!!

Rewards from showdown.

Think carefully these guys got badges and are a tougher out then they look 🙃🤣😅

I honestly think they should bring back KOTC as a limited-time mode. I love head-to-monitor-locked in competitive games. Showdown is so boring for me. I'm a 27x Showdown champion. I play the mode a lot lol. I've never won a KOTC, but I've been top-5 on boards a handful of times and never dropped below T1. I even managed to beat a few truly comp players last year. Those are the type of games I truly enjoy. I'm nowhere near comp, but I enjoy partaking in that space from time to time.

Do you know why I don’t have the same coach for all my lineups please ?

I didn’t play showdown last season but gonna play this season. Just wondering does everyone get reset every season?

For whatever reason Tyson decided not to dunk it, which already didn't make sense, then Larry Nance hovering on his left side somehow makes a solid contest, which dynamically shrinks the green window about 80%. This stuff is just annoying.

I believe I have tried the obvious methods, but I can’t get into turn off. If anyone knows if it’s possible and can share, I would appreciate it.

didn’t know if it was gonna work the same as the normal exchanges since it was the season exclusive, thanks for answers! :)

I had Pippens shot mastered since his card came out, gave him set shot badging. I recently got Klay about a week ago & I was nailing jumpers with him too, fully badged on the offensive side, but now Im struggling with both of them.

My shot timing cue is on "push" & I'll be the first to admit I've never been the greatest with quick snappy releases like them, but this is frustrating.

How do I get rid of this? I don’t have any challenges or exhibitions that aren’t claimed and it’s really bothering me

Looking for a pg/sg in the 30k range that is playable

I beat teams where a single player is worth more than my entire squad. It doesn't matter which players you have or how expensive they are. Get players you are comfortable with. As long as you master or know the animations, whether it's stepbacks, floaters, fadeaways, dunks, etc., you can beat anyone. You also need a mix of off ball and on ball defense.

Besides the fact that they've messed with the shooting system again—since the meter takes longer to show up—it's way harder to dunk, shoot, and do everything in general. Also, I was wondering if anyone else is tripping over All-Star Domination. I've already cleared NBA and WNBA, pretty much winning games by 20+ points. I'm only missing three or four, and those were from the very beginning when I hadn't gotten used to the game yet.

​Then I loaded up the first All-Star Domination game and I was only able to score 23 points against Chicago. I don't consider myself a bad player at all. I've been playing since launch and I've played 2K for years, but I was completely blown away by scoring only 23 points given all my experience—and it's not like I'm bad at shooting—but the new shooting system is absolute garbage.

​I mean, not being able to make an uncontested shot near the rim... Michael Jordan literally stepped aside while I was driving with DeAndre Ayton, and the rhythm shooting meter completely disappeared along with Jordan's animation of stepping away. What they've done to the game is a complete joke, and it makes you want to put it down until they patch it. It's really sad because MyTEAM was actually a blast to play online this year.
