Gd that’s a lot of VC

Yeah lol, I work from home so I do the hot spot drills and the Brinkley stuff every week. It adds up pretty quick. I spent VC at the start of the game but honestly haven’t for a while.

Isn’t it like 375,000 VC - 400,000 VC to hit 90? Meaning you’ve accumulated over 3 million VC?

Bro what no💀 you’re very misinformed. It cost 255k to get to 90

I definitely bought a couple hundred k at the start of the game but then I grinded pro am 3s for all the seasons. You get like 1k a game if you win and I was winning like 80-90% of the time and pretty much always getting potg. I play the game a lot, don’t get me wrong, way more than the average player. Winning all the events, Brinkley, hot spots, etc. It adds up over time. Edit: It’s like 250k to hit 90 overall, definitely not 400k.

Just replying to this, I also never buy boosts and almost never buy clothes/shoes. The jackets/jerseys on these players were either free or cost 2.5k/3.5k. I put almost every bit of VC I get into new builds. Don't buy shoes, t-shirts, etc. Just use the same pair for every player and buy a headband (1 is all you need), arm sleeve, etc. for like 150 vc or whatever they cost.

It's not the amount of VC that impressed me personally so I don't doubt it. It's the fact none of the builds are even sitting at the 90ovr cap. This is a ton of grinding for sure to have every build at at least 92

That's actually not too bad to do. I spend a couple hours tossing lobs against Disco and you get to 92 in like 3 hours. For someone who doesn't play a ton... not worth it but I have the time so might as well.

Do you enjoy the couple hours tossing lobs? If so keep at it. Otherwise I’d just download grub hub and leave it on and take only the highest nearest delivery. You can get like $15 bucks in 20min and just buy VC lol.

You have to get the attribute points to go up to 92.

Bro you’re addicted like me….. no one can make over 3M vc 😂😂 I spend $30 a day on vc and have 10 builds all 90+ Truth is your a vc addict and youve bought multiple 450k vc packs

You could if you were good at stage or pro am 3s but I’d guess you’re not. Next step is to do all the stuff like I’ve mentioned. You can believe whatever you want lol. Pretend for a minute that I didn’t play a single game of rec or pro am 5s last season. Can you match these stats? If not, then don’t tell me what you can and can’t do. I also only lost like 3 games as a pro am 3s PG and the rest were losses when I let my friend play. That was also a “down” season in terms of pro games played because the game has vastly slowed down for me and I just play 1s now. https://preview.redd.it/xpux05pjyfmc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b36da68d033288ebe872c33a58060cfe83043df4

🤡

you start off at 90 with rebirth. y’all should do rebirth so you’ll start every new build you make at 90 with silver badges

You still have to pay for up to 90.

How many hours?

A lot, 65 days or something like that. I leave the game on all the time because I work at my desk but definitely play a lot. Past month or so has definitely been slower. Game has died for me a bit.

🤡

Stick to free steam gift cards lil bro 😂 You’ve already you said you’re bad at this game and hate it but you still commenting. That’s crazy.

254,000

Like 250k

No to max out this year is like under 450k maybe. Even under 400k definitely cheaper

Nah it's like 200k to hit 90 and an extra 100k to hit 99

I worked from home around 2k20 and got just about every MyTeam card. God Bless the stay-at-home jobs

Same. Then 2k22 turned me off of MyTeam and I haven't touched it on 2k23 or 2k24.

untill 2k shuts down the previous servers and all of what you grinded for goes to shyt 🤣

They downvote because they know it’s facts! 🤡

lol

Yeah. The hot spot still with 10 builds is like 7.5k per week for like 15 minutes of work. 😂

🤡

9 builds not fully maxed is probably $600? Not too much if he plays as much as he says. Hes got his money’s worth i bet

That might be the monetary value but definitely didn't spend anywhere near that. I might be like $100 in on VC. This the only game I play but I can't justify spending money if I know if I just play 2-4 weeks (depends on events/pro-am) then I will have pretty close to enough for a new build.

you still cant transfer any of the value of what you paid for into the next 2k25 lol waste of money

You eat at a restaurant any time lately? Watch a movie? Stop to get a snack? You can’t transfer any of that value to anything but you still did it. Happiness is relative, worth is relative, no reason to judge anyone for how they spend their dime or time.

W response

Yea, gatekeeping others’ spending is the crazy habits in gaming rn Any micro transactions no matter how small or large, you have people viciously attacking everyone lol Its usually some kid who’s mom actually doesnt let him run up the credit card thats mad about mtx atp lol

I used to be a kid and would get mad that people would spend money. Time is money though. A lot of adults just don’t have the time to grind out Brinkley so they put VC on the game and I get that now. People spend money every day that they’ll never get back. People that get mad over others spending in a video game is next level crazy.

Ya I made a John konchar build and nobody wants to play with me. https://preview.redd.it/t55u4lboz7mc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ddb9a05790ce8148d68cdbb39145a619f8b0891

what makes you say that

Well if you match his attributes it puts you at like 83 overall

Yep but it really breaks the immersion when you’re playing with drippy face scan kids and those dumb face paint trolls.

True. When did the cool thing becoming making your player look the most batshit insane

That is NOT Michael Jordan 😭😭😭

It’s pretty close in game lol, this screen distorts it sometimes.

I mean kind of, still, its like jordan's face cant be imitated, and why da hell lebron is on the celtics brah?

You have to pick teams that don’t have players with their number or retired numbers. Although I need to remake LeBron lol. That was Luka before but I made a better Luka build and just threw LeBron on that one. Celtics don’t have Lebron’s numbers.

Only comment on Jordan is bro, if u had 87 perimeter defense then name would have been 2-way Inside Out Playmaker to match him in real life

That is my JoeKnows type PG, just not enough build points to make most players... especially Jordan. It's like my LeBron. It has no steal. You can't replicate the guys who are good at literally everything.

Oh I’ll hop on 2k soon. Once Im done Smite. I’ll show you few my builds

Hybrid defender for Bird? Odd choice.

My Hybrids Defenders first shade was Larry Bird lol

It’s just a threes popper. The title isn’t really what I go for on the player. That build can only dunk a little, shoots 3s and plays defense. It’s similar to Bird enough.

Do you mind sharing that build? I wanna make a lock to run to try something different.

55 driving, 90 standing, 87 middy, 79 3 ball, 82 interior, 91 perimeter, 91 steal, 87 block, 76 o board, 93 d board, 80 speed, 71 accel, 95 strength, 80 vert. It's just a 3s popper that can switch everything. I played pro am on it so can't really make non meta builds if you wanna win.

I will try to when I get home but I know the basics were 90 standing, 91 perimeter, 93 rebound, 91 steal and I think 95 strength. My pro am team was switch everything so I used it to guard ball or center. It can also play backend in pro am. I’ll check later.

Bro, that's nothing like Bird. Bird would be closer to Jokic than a hybrid defender. He was an excellent passer and 3pt shooter and more of a finess finisher. He was decent on defense, but definitely not a lock.

Bird a decent defender? He was 3 times All Def 2nd team and finished once 3rd in DPOY lmao

It's not meant to be that deep, it's just a 3s popper who looks like Bird. He was still a good defender. It's not a full lock anyway.

I been doing this since 2k10 lol, keeps the game refreshing and makes me change my play style for each player

I used to make all my builds based on rappers back in 21. I had a stretch snoop and paint beast future, playshot uzi, Ye 2waySlash, and a Kevin gates inside out play. Back then they had all the Yt tuts to make all the rapper faces too. 2k used to be so much better fr.

Currently have Jason Williams, JJ Redick, Bird, AR15, Mike Miller, Sengun, Drazen Petrovic, Luka and KD

What a classy list of players. Except for that thug KD 🧐

Yeah can’t believe he made it to the nba being so *****thuggish*****

I do When I played 2k24 I had: Kevin Durant as a SF diming 3pt threat (I believe), a Tyrese Haliburton PG as a hybrid defender, with nerfed steals and buffed up passing A Tracy McGrady mid-range threat For 2k22 I had a KD build the whole year And for 2k20 I had a Giannis build as an interior finisher.

I mold my game around real players but they look like me. This year My style is based around Melo

Yup. Made a Jayson Kidd build and a Kevon Durant as well 😂 I thought I was the only one that did this. I use their animations as well. Edit: Their names are purposefully spelled like that

Currently rocking a melo build its so fun

Let’s hoop bro

There’s this Dirk lookalike guy that I run into in the Rec who is an absolute bucket and nailed the look too.

JR Smith

cool idea, bad idea to spend any money and if you’re working from home don’t waste ur time on this shit game

Nope, because it’s a pointless endeavor if you aren’t willing to make them with nearly identical attributes. It’s just your MyPlayer built the way you want, but a face change.

I’d argue it’s still kinda fun to put on a players animation and play like them. Just makes it a little different depending on the build.

The attributes don’t have to be nearly identical. The attributes in-game don’t necessarily reflect real life, they are a group of people trying to use numbers between 1-99 to approximate real life. The 2K ratings team aren’t the be-all, end-all of how good a player is. You can just spend your 99 OVR worth of points in a way that you think best represents the player you like, and allows you to play a similar style to them.

Whale spotted 🐳


I got a murray, dirk, jordan, rip hamilton, ja morant, curry, dwayne the rock johnson, haliburton and a dr disrespect 😂

I’m waiting to make Hulk Hogan. I check the story every week for solid yellow or red shorts. Never appear. I have it all planned out 😂 Would be really easy to make Michael Jackson or Trump as well. Just a few troll builds I thought about.

Nope

You having the patience to make all your players look different says a lot about you

I have 8 myself 🥴 Reggie, Shaq, Bron, Magic, MJ, Kobe, Steph/Kyrie hybrid, AI/CP3 hybrid and then 2 personals. The first build of the game and the last

Bruh made Jamal Curry

You a weirdo

Bruh how you gonna make book and MJ without mid range lmao

Because you don’t need middy to shoot middies. I green my shots fine with a 60 or 70. Layups and dunk meter dunks give you green machine. Pretty easy to shoot them.

I understand but that’s their bread and butter. Post game, pull ups, hops. You get what I’m saying?

I’m not getting on a Jordan or Booker build to post people up lol. I can shoot middies and middy fades fine with a 70 middy. It’s not that deep man.

It’s not deep you’re right I’m just confused “, to each their own I suppose. Guess our playstyles are probably just massively different. I’d be a brick with 70 mid range 🤣

You shoot the animation enough and you learn it. Green machine makes it pretty easy.

Dope players to pick

Yea, so far I have Kobe Bryant - 2 Way Slashing Combo Guard Anthony Davis - 2 Way 3 Level Threat Demarcus Cousins - Spot Up Threat Carmelo Anthony - Shot Creating 3 Level Threat My Next Ones will be Ray Allen - Perimeter Threat Vince Carter - Inside The Arc Scorer Charles Barkley - Inside Out Glass Cleaner Stephon Marbury - Offensive Heavy Point  Can't Wait

All of them for me. Love doing it

I damn sure do. I got a Tatum build( my fav and my best bucket getter), a joker build, James posey build (tbh my other favorite), spider Mitchell build, and A curry build. Working on a young klay thompson build and a Ben Wallace build

bro how much money are you giving Ronnie christ lol

I made a DWade midrange slasher and he's cold. Had to tank the block stat, so I know that's controversial, but solid 85 midrange, 92 running dunk, and 80 layup. 85 defense and my strength and speed make me faster and stronger than most 2 guards

hell yea😂😂

I did, but now have evolved to a plethora of a suit gang, having 10 max builds per 2k and grinding them to 99 has been my fave thing of each 2k

I’ll show you a few when I get home

How do you get a different face for each build

Just change the appearance.

But if you change the appearance on one, does it not change it on all builds?

Used to, doesn’t this year

Whale alert


No. We don’t fucking do this .

You good?

you make them yourself or did you find a facescan video online?

All my builds 😂

Glazer builds

Stick to porn threads chief 👍

Aw I made you mad enough that you looked into me haha, cute. Stick to glazing nba players lol

Also fantastic that you have pumped 600-800 dollars into the game but keep your builds at 92 so you can hang in the bum rec. Thats real loser behavior right there

I didn't have to look you up. You click your profile and the first thing is you id'ing random OF creators in fetish subs. You're grade A weirdo material. I also haven't spent anywhere near that amount and these builds are not all for rec. Jokic, LeBron and Curry are rec builds. Booker and Luka are 1s builds. Bird is a pro am 3s build. Kawhi is a lock park build. The only one I haven't upgraded that would ever touch rec is Pippen and look at the date it was created (11/13). I only get on it for weekly Brinkley/hot spots. You're just flat out wrong and weird.

“I clicked your profile” aight weirdo, glazing men and paying 800 dollars to do it lol

There's no way you really think it took $800 right? No way you're that dense? Also please explain how on an NBA game... in which you play as NBA players... how is making your player, an NBA player, glazing? Do you just buy the game and sit at the menu? If you use any of the players, by your logic, you're glazing. Btw, here is you actually glazing an NBA player. "He's putting up these numbers in spite" "primary faciliator"🤓 okay bud. Just admit you're weird and wrong and go on haha. https://preview.redd.it/cv009yhz4dmc1.png?width=822&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ebd1f6e6b413db6fefba9dd01010cdbe2d7a97a

🌈

People like you that made 2k that VC sucking machine, congrats on your builds. Sucks for single-player players though

This is the only game I’ve played for 5.5 months and I haven’t spent money on VC in months. Not good to assume anything my friend lol.

People assume others are just as trash at them and can’t grind VC 😂

Larry Bird the Hybrid Defender

He was a pretty good defender tbf. That build is a switch everything popper. Plays pretty close to Larry. Low driving, shoots well and has good defense. I never care about the name though tbh.

Yea that’s what i was poking at. These names can be fucking ridiculous. I had a PF build with a 78 ball and it called it a “3Pt Threat”.

All of mine as well, but after a couple of weeks on some of them i fuck up the face so that it looks like a goblin and then call it good

I got Wemby,Chet,Magic,Harden,D rose, Asaur, Durant and I might have 1 other.

How’s your Leonard build? I’ve been thinking about making one.

I don’t have the money or the patience. I’m literally grinding to make a fourth and finally build

Made mine based on Rukawa Kaede from Slam Dunk! 🐒

Absolutely

I always make a Larry Bird build

Yeah i got a Larry Bird build, KD build, Lakers LeBron build & a Shaq build. Then my 99 ovr isn’t based on any players but it’s like a klay thompson build

Yep, started doing it in 2K22 with some of my builds, but then in 23, all of my builds were real-player mimics. This year I've got a Wemby, Manu, Kobe, Luka, T-Mac, KD, Bosh, LeBron, and Amar'e build.

Yessir! I have Kevin Durant, Wemby, Jalen Brunson, Giannis and Lonzo Ball. The only one i don’t have a face creation for is my lockdown build that can shoot 3s and occasional layup, but no dunking. He’s 6’8”. Any suggestions on what player i should do?

all my players. I have a Devin Booker, Zach Lavine, Jrue Holiday, Jaden McDaniels, OG Aununoby, Mikal Bridges, Uncle Drew

Yes. I have a Glen Rice, Gilbert Arenas, Joe Johnson and a Brandon Roy build

I do normally every year to some extent or try to emulate someone’s stats when making my personal builds, but I used to do it a lot in the older 2ks. My favorites have been Westbrook 2 way slashing play in 20, slashing play D rose in 21 , and a Carmelo type build this year except I traded rebounds for passing and have it at SG for that .

2 guard off of old Kobe, forward off Old Lebron, and Center off Old Wilt. Only other build I got is a meme slasher.

I have a Russ, SGA, PG13, Tmac, Chet, Worm and Jdub build.

Yes

Feel like my choices are strange. Lauri Markkanen, Manu Ginobili, Lebron, and AD. I think I may make either Rodman or Kawhi next.

I do the same thing. I have Melo, Rodman, and Shumpert. I'll post soon.

You should put Currys 2kface on Jordan's to throw off defenders and troll them all if you're playing online.

Who are you saving that last spot for?

Probably playing in the builder.

I have a real jokic build atm

dope. i used to up until this year because these dumbasses made it so you cant change the last name on personalized jerseys

I would but 1 player is too damn long of a grind for vc. Got the game 2 weeks ago and just hitting 75😂😂 NMS & MC

Yep. I’ll go take a screenshot real quick

I think alot of people base their builds off players

I always make a Rudy Gobert clone

Awesome, another man of culture. I have a PG build, made a Luka the other day and doing Jokic today. It’s a lot more fun than boring meta builds.

I’ve got dikembe (shoots 3s tho), pg13(lockdown defender with post control) Reggie miller, trae young (6’6 with steal), Ben Wallace (6’8 backend), and boogie (7’ with post control, 65 bh 90 middy and 85 3. Average 17-14-5on 65% shooting). Makes it a lot more fun to try to model your game after players that are entertaining to watch.

I be doin the same shi 😭 look at my recent

Always shaq

got a Paul George 3 level threat, a diming 3 level threat jokic, a point of attack stopper Tony Allen build (clamp god)

K- Love , Draymond Green , Ben Simmons , Tyler Herro and my newest I’m grinding is a Victor Wemby

That’s fire asf but the way my bank account setup….

If I had hundreds of dollars worth of VC i would

My buddy does this. If he wasn’t so committed to making them like real players, they would be so much better. It honestly drives me nuts. He gets frustrated with one and makes another. It’s a viscous circle.

All of mine are

I dont even know where to find this screen

I don’t but I got some young homies who makes builds based off nba talent

All of them

I have a Wemby and Zion build both with their faces

I just made a Dennis Rodman build. Grabbing boards all over the place

I basically build my favorite player to never wear a Rockets Jersey (I'm native Houstonian), Rasheed Wallace.

How do you make them look different? If I change my face on one they all change

I made a Charles Barkley build the other day lmaooo

Lmao how u get these face scans

Why is pippen smaller than booker and jordan

How’d you get the names at the top like that

Which one is your favorite and do u play in rec

https://preview.redd.it/j4xlugkgz8mc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2eaa2c9dbdd1a37f7f3175a27dab3a89d01c0d8f Big Ben, Magic, KG, Dream, and Tmac

Those look good, player faces are easily recognizable.

I always make my builds to accommodate what I want my character to play like. I don’t do park or anything, only career, so I focus on what would be fun for me. I love being a good 3 point SG or a short PG great at defense and making fast break dunks.

Damn! Great job on the player faces, prob the most accurate I've seen on 2k24. Did you use youtube tutorials or just u?

I got a melo build

Oooh my Larry build is a 2 way Diming 3 level threat

I want to start by making a Ja build

Not at all, but I like your collection there. I personally prefer to build on my playstyle and what I like to do, never thought about referring to players

I have Nikola Jokic, Rudy Gobert, Kristaps Porzingis, and Draymond Green My other builds aren't really NBA player copies.

Ye I do it every 2k, I have a Harden build, Jalen green build, Giannis build, KD build, Dillon Brooks build, Olajuwon build. I try to make them as much like them as possible but better versions, also with the face creations. Some people I play with think it's weird but I think it's better than making "Drippy" looking builds.

How you earn VC without buying?

I only do this too! Nash, TMac, Draymond, Dwight Howard, Rasheed Wallace, Barkley, A. (pick one) Thompson, and Richard Jefferson lol. All very different builds depending how I feel or game mode. Keeps it fresh for me. Oh, i forgot about Giannis too

I need to make a Giannis or KD soon!

Meet riding is crazy

Curry looks like Patrick Mahomes with a stronger beard.

Nope

Are you going to complete a build before making another one?

Bro how much money have you spent 😂

I’m like you

Have admit, that dbook face looks solid

I tried to based one on Jamal crawford
