I missed out on the badge glitch
Overall does not matter in this game. They might as well take it out. Badges definitely take longer to grind than overall ever has
I've had max badges on my original guy for a few months now. I think I exaggerated how hard it is to grind in this game. Really is faster than getting to 99 in 19. Hell, I could probably max out at least one other guy if I really wanted to. Probably more.
Yeah, slashers ruined it for me. I play a lot of 1v1 stage and I was tired of my 7"3 player getting dunked on. I still had a 75% win but slashers were busted as hell last time I played.
I was just thinking reading your post how many career games I played with my original guy before he was at least close to maxed out. I probably finished up the badges playing in park, but basically had to play a half of an entire season in career before I was close to being maxed out. Like you said, not sure I want to take the time to play that many career games again. Or suck in the park for that long. But it does add new value to playing, I will say. Not the same thing over and over again by playing with just one guy.
Yea, they can be tough. Seems like some of the drive and dunk no matter the defense. I guess it doesn’t bother me unless they start hitting threes. Then it’s basically impossible to stop them.
Yeah, if you only have an hour or 2 to play every night the grind can be a bit tedious. I think they create the game with the mindset everyone can no life it for a period of time so they can be competitive in park.
Slashers literally were getting a drive through my body animation on the baseline, making it impossible to cut them off. If I stand in the paint they just dunk on me, if I come out at all they just get a blow by poster. There was no way to stop them so I just got tired of it.
The only upside is that the entire 2k community seems to agree that the hop step is hopelessly unbalanced this year.
I have no problem not being able to keep up with them on the perimeter, my character is too slow. That said, if I hang back and guard the baseline drive they shouldn’t be able to drive right through my body when I know exactly what they’re going to do. Also, I love the poster animations they get with me in the lane like I’m not 7”3 280 pounds.Heh heh heh... there is a guy in our group who has a 6'10 red/blue build, and he's got the hop step down pat. He stands at the three point line, gets the pass, and just drives and hop steps. My 7'3 pure blue guy just can't stop him. I'm just too slow. If I try to go out to meet him further out, he hops right past me. If I stay too far back, he just dunks on me. I can't lock on to him if I meet him halfway; he just slips right past me. It's really disheartening
Put an elbow in his chestOHHH so ****ing annoying. One of the guys we play with gets on me for it constantly, and I'm like dude... I'm 7'3, max wingspan, 280+... I'm standing in the EXACT right place, I'm putting my hands up (or at least TRYING to), I'm not even the PRIMARY defender... there's only so much I can do
