2k manipulates the auction house. 2k inflates the minimum bid. That’s why things are so high. 2k uses bots to bid cards up to a pre determined price. 2k does not want wemby selling for under let’s say 900k. Ask yourself this…..have you ever seen a card get sold for a deal? Nope, 2k won’t allow it.
Agree that's the one thing I like about this game this year they start to show their deficiencies when you go up against a god squad I just played a guy that was ranked 5th overall in showdown and it was nothing I could do and I'm really good at the game Don't lose much got 40 plus wins. He had all the best cards including wimby he definitely humbled me lol but I refuse to spend money on this game
@@johnnywarner4468 literally 99% of people aren’t going to win king of the court. I can easily get top 10% or 1% every weekend if I had the time though 🤷🏾♂️
it’s really about effort man. if they put more effort in auction house we wouldn’t have to wait so long to get back auction outcomes. grinds fix everything man
Brooooooooooo , it's not about effort 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is a commission based buisnesss the devs execs head ups alll get bonus based on micro transactions every single person involved on developing the game is juss tryna fill they pockets ....it's not rocket science..
The short answer is without even watching- Yes you can be no money spent. I’ve had fun grinding an hour or so a day using rubys like mario chalmers and mitchel robinson and free hidden gems. like from the drose grind and dia de los grind. Ill happily take my Michael porter junior and spencer dinwiddie and they play for me in showdown. I dont plan on playing king of the court or being the best player so yes for me i can be no money spent stacking MT and not needing the best cards in the game.
This game mode is cooked, I’m no money spent and im being match up against players of the likes of Wemby, Lebron, SGA and Kareem just to name a few. I can’t compete anymore even though I have multiple grinded diamond cards. Even though im skillful at this game it’s still hard to compete against these players. Barely playing this stupid game mode anymore.
I mean if you started playing from the beginning I’m sure you can be nms, but atp I don’t think so, even if you have a good nms your cooked once you go against a pd squad
@TyDeBo check 2ks recent earnings their breaking record amounts in terms of there revenue ..and also I found out the devs execs get a bonus commission based on micro trans. Next year will be worse.
NCAA football was fun at first but the glitches and lack of content killed it. 2k has way more variety and like how the rare cards a rare here. The game gets stale real quick when everyone gets whatever they want. Plus it’s easier to get good cards but there’s also way more positions to fill.
Yes. My team is mostly made up of reward players and challenge rewards. Buy the Pro Pass and just play casually. Unless you're a top tier competitive player, there's no need for all the top cards, just my opinion.
Only money Ive spent on the game is the pro pass both seasons and my teams pretty solid the issue for me is that I have no sense of progression at this point. Ive finished dom and lvl 40 and used the mt from selling badges and stuff to build a good team and made it to tier 1 on showdown, what am I supposed to do now? I have no interest in grinding for a million coins to buy an overpriced card that realistically isnt that much of an upgrade. Its not worth the time involved. Theres nothing to do on the game beyond grinding mt for the sake of grinding mt and hoping theres something worth spending the coins on down the line. Been considering selling my team now and coming back in a few weeks/months.
I’m NMS besides the pro pass. I got blessed with Giddey, Maggette, Daugherty, and amethyst Darius Miles. All hidden gems. If I didn’t get those good hidden gems I’d probably stop playing
its worse for me i locked the wemby set and it gave me a dupe pd that i could sell for 2000 mt or exchange it for a hof badge. That was a ton of mtt to lock in for that
Besides the Salary Cap shard I don’t have any hidden gems. If you don’t open packs & the odds from the free boxes are so low & the cards a un actionable. Leaves most with out dated cards or lower tier cards.
There's no reason to play. It's spend money or just get what 2K gives you with their random packs. The turning point for me was getting Terry Rozier twice from the Hidden Gem packs. All of the cards and I get the same mid card twice? Even their odds aren't odds, you can pull a diamond but it'll be one of the worse ones. You can pull a pink diamond, but it'll be one of the worse ones. 2K are a joke.
I am enjoying MyTeam, but I haven't played 2k since 2k21 so that's probably why I enjoy it more than most due to the long break. The old tactics I used to use for making MT from the market still work. I am NMS and have well over 1 mil MT but I get what you mean, it's impossible for me to get all of the best cards unless I spend money.
Ty, you said you dont even know what to load up bc 2k content is so bad. Do a NMS series now and there u go. Everybody would love it and you could (maybe)prove your point. I think you would do better than you think. I am NMS myself and have a more than decent team. Cheers.
Problem is it is working. I bought 2k25 and stock in take 2 the day this game came out; checked my stock last night and I am up $100 on my stock purchase 😳y’all need to stop giving them money or don’t I will take the money
Ty let alone NMS, I’ve spent thousands of dollars and STILL hardly have anything I want in this mode. People say the game is for the whales, but I’ll tell you we’re still not happy.
I'm nms and got sga with my hand on my heart. I can say its easy asf. but I know even if most could have a good team and get a lot of cards they wont cause my approach is unique.

@@texos2kak been around 100k for a while now
@@Kobewas2shiestysold for 120k snipe imo
Then they have the nerve to charge 10% off what you sell smh whole game is ass
Cards from day 1 can still play . Only positive thing in the entire mode.

@Jermaine-hb4vr and his team will probably last all year 😆
Yes, I’m NMS and doing just fine. Don’t need Wemby or them other pay to win cards.
That's fine. You ain't winning king of the court though with garbage like you have.
@@johnnywarner4468there’s people who spend thousands on the game and will never will win
A lot of people have god squads and they are not winning KOFT either.

Ty is spot on. Imagine playing the game for the first time. Takes forever to figure it out.

Once they $250K away , it was time to pack 2k up

The thing about being nms is that you gotta put so many extra hours into a game mode thats boring af and unrewarding
I’m NMS besides the pro pass. I got blessed with Giddey, Maggette, Daugherty, and amethyst Darius Miles. All hidden gems. If I didn’t get those good hidden gems I’d probably stop playing
Getting good hidden gems will make or break you if you are NMS
Great video! Still waiting for center list and top 100 cards!
Ty is a goat 🐐
its worse for me i locked the wemby set and it gave me a dupe pd that i could sell for 2000 mt or exchange it for a hof badge. That was a ton of mtt to lock in for that
If you play a ton, yes. You need to invest ridiuclous amounts of time to even be competitive though.
Besides the Salary Cap shard I don’t have any hidden gems. If you don’t open packs & the odds from the free boxes are so low & the cards a un actionable. Leaves most with out dated cards or lower tier cards.
maybe if 2k would give out more packs/boxes/vc to people who grind. It's awesome you won so much VC but like you said, everyone ain't you haha
There's no reason to play.
It's spend money or just get what 2K gives you with their random packs.

NMS or not it's the same experience with the pack odds being so low 🤷🏾♂️
I bought 1 pro pass. I desperately needed a big.

I dedicated another off time to this game and nothing to show for it
Man ty I hear you my guy....it's so slow any more...
🙋🏾♂️Where these folks getting 500k + to drop on 1 card🤷🏾♂️
Im so glad i skip this yr 😂😂😂😂 this yr is worst than 2k24 forsure
Problem is it is working. I bought 2k25 and stock in take 2 the day this game came out; checked my stock last night and I am up $100 on my stock purchase 😳y’all need to stop giving them money or don’t I will take the money

I'm NMS

I’m sure your local soup kitchens could use some amethyst’s
Like why crazy people!
@@chefjosephkowles575😂
Fair point! The pack odds are definitely as bad as they have ever been
I'm nms and got sga with my hand on my heart. I can say its easy asf. but I know even if most could have a good team and get a lot of cards they wont cause my approach is unique.
Probably the easiest 2k to be nms, the amount of free diamonds they give out is insane. I started 2-3 weeks ago and have a full diamond squad
what future? this game is over the worst 2k ever 24 was much much better i miss the player market
