I remember last year around this time they released the GOAT Curry spotlight sims. You just had to win games against tough teams. I think it was 6 wins got you a GO card. Remember the good old days when 2k just asked you to win games. None of this BS.
Bro that’s what tf I been saying. Nobody expects getting end game cards like bill Russell or tacko should be easy. But why tf are they making it unnecessarily difficult. And yea last year spotlights for goat curry and bird was just win games against tough teams. And dumba** 2k devs wonder why ppl would rather buy cheap mt to get the cards they want instead of dealing with dumba** impossible challenges like this
@@zonedoutshaquilleoneal1308 OK. Then 2k thinks, they did everything alright. If streamers (who play 24/7) like Ty or CP the doc can do it, everybody can do it. Lmao. Already the TT Spotlight finals were too hard in my opinion.
Yeah I realised it wasn't worth it after collecting all the opals and not being arsed to do the bill russel challenges. And he's not as good on current gen so 🤷♂️
The 55 rebounds with one player in 7 minute quarters is absurd. The 100 points with one player and no threes on HOF with 5 minute quarters is impossible. Also how in the hell are you supposed to control the AI and prevent them from commiting any fouls? The AI will foul and there is shit you can do about it.
Tacko ain’t amazing for current gen cuz of the lack of hot zones so imma go for the players I want and that’s it ain’t killing myself over these challenges
In most games the CPU commits a foul regardless of what I do....that one has me scratching my head. I’m all for challenges, but at least make them something I have control over vs a game that is probability animation based....
All gold against all invincibles???? 55 freaking rebounds???!? 65% percent of these challenges are on HOF difficulty. Ruby’s against Kobe and you have to hold him to less than 10. I give up bro, and to think we thought the Bill Russell challenges were hard and impossible…
The Ruby’s vs Kobe is so bad..you think it’s easy to stop an invincible card from scoring 10 points the whole game until he hits a contested 3 pointer in the fourth 😭
What I fear is that a few people will beat these and 2K will think these are OK. I hope everyone just don't even try to beat all of these so that it'll force 2K to severely nerf some of these challenges. I got Wiseman, Dentist and John Collins (may get a few more) but I may just leave these alone after that. Not worth it.
I just watched Tys breakdown and he was talking it to be way easier then what I believe them to be, that said Ty is elite on 2k. After I watched it I knew I had to come here for DBG to justify my original thought's 😅
This is what’s gonna happen, the challenges are so hard because tacko will be able to curry slide, be faster that bol bol and make almost every shot with a decent timing, with max strength because there is no way 2k would do this for a mediocre dark matter
I was literally done with this game as of last week. Saw that these sims released, logged in to grind. Saw the requirements... Back to done with this game.
@@kaneburks6552 I just beat the challenge after 40 tries 🥲, all you have to do is try to steal the ball as much as you can when curry has the ball. You need to onball on defense and put your hands in the air most of the time, they won’t make shots
I don’t know if it’s funny or just sad that all the guys talking about the extreme requirements to complete these were actually right. They literally have a win a game with gold players versus an invincible lineup
Hot take: I love these challenges they actually make playing vs the AI somewhat challenging and rewarding, its not just play 100 easy games and get a good card, u actually have to be a good player to win. Obviously some are just bullshit like the no fouls one but i like most of them tbh
After seeing the 11 steals and the gold challenge ima just get the players I want and be done with these I believe 2k was on crack (Stephen a smith voice) when creating some of these.
After giving this game a second chance not too long ago, these new spotlight challenges have reminded me how much of a troll 2k has become. Uninstalled.
Fr the steals challenge is too crazy.. even if you get lucky you have to get over a steal quicker than every two minutes with the same guy unless you go to overtime💀 in that case pray you haven’t already fouled out
These challenges are absolutely impossible. I played the Wiseman challenge for about 35 minutes and I still haven't completed it. I don't even wanna know how tough it's gonna be to do the all gold team challenge 😭
Took me like 5 tries to get Caruso. Just do pick and rolls to the basket , when you get passed the ball just sit there for like 3 seconds it won’t register after a few dribbles just in one spot
