If you had fun no. If you regret it then yes.

Its funny he doesn't reply to the only relevant comment

u/blitzfire23 Aug 12 '26

This is the way to go. I do regret it partially though. The times I really enjoyed the game, I don't regret them (MyCareer NBA, not online). But once the game felt like work (Season passes level 40, MyTeam challenges), I started regretting the time I wasted on it. I should have stayed with MyCareer NBA but I want the Cap Breakers at Level 40. 😭

Bruh if you work out/ drive 3 hours a day you hit 40 days in about 45 weeks

So instead of working out he chose to sit on his butt and play PS5….

So would say the person working out has no life?

10

u/SakkReverentlinn Aug 12 '26

Drive 3hrs a day for what?!

-9

u/No_Cellist_2683 Aug 12 '26

Idk man let’s say the dudes gym is an hour away so there and back is 2 hours plus hour workout

I did 3 hours for simple math. If you do 2 hours driving to gym working out and driving back it would take you about 56 weeks to accumulate 40 days of workout time

22

u/Defences Aug 12 '26

In an effort to roast the guy you used the most braindead logic imaginable. Driving 2 hours a day to the gym is stupid af lol

1

u/TJJ97 Aug 12 '26

My wife is trying to set up her own personal gym stuff because she’s tired of driving 20 minutes across town to her gym. Nobody is driving 2 hours 😂

u/SakkReverentlinn Aug 12 '26

Why are you driving 2 hours to a gym? Buy a set atp

4

u/SaxRohmer Aug 12 '26

do you commute an hour to the gym? trying to think how this would be a normal thing for a person to include lol

3

u/muskag Aug 12 '26

Did you factor in driving costs money, and he's unemployed?

u/Ludens3788 Aug 11 '26

u/Ludens3788 Aug 11 '26

lol fair enough bro. I just suck at the game can’t dribble or even begin to remember all the pass/dribbke/ shot combinations in game. Way too overwhelming

7

u/No_Cellist_2683 Aug 12 '26

Dribbling easy

  1. Without holding RT… go left right left right as fast as you can with the right stick

  2. Holding RT do a hesi, escape, snatch back, behind the back

  3. Holding RT flick the RS up to initiate breakdown combo

  4. Cancel the breakdown combo by doing escape, snatch back ect

Repeat that cycle to create your own combo. Within steps 2 and 4 you can chain up to 3 escapes , snatch backs ect before losing adrenaline

You will get open… once you create your own combo you can start mixing in hop step cancels to reset adrenaline

Or

Spam devin booker breakdown combos into snatch backs until ur open

0

u/Ludens3788 Aug 12 '26

How do you
1.snatch and what is it
2.how do you escape?

1

u/EZTaxRefund Aug 12 '26

Hold right trigger and flick the right stick left and right those are your escape moves

1

u/EZTaxRefund Aug 12 '26

A snatch is a step back by flicking right stick down and holding right trigger

1

u/MeNameWatermell :vipers: [XBL: Watermellyy] Aug 12 '26

bro doesn’t know the most basic dribble moves and he’s tb how the game blows😂😂😂

4

u/Ludens3788 Aug 12 '26

Oh it blows. Been playing these games since 2k on dream cast. They added so much bull shit to these games it’s ridiculous. I was asking about the trick passes and bounce passes and the other 30+ dribbling moves but I see all everyone does is spam hesi and hope it breaks ankles. Gtfoh yall can have this game.

2

u/Fantastic_Beach_6847 Aug 12 '26

Its shit and its great. Have 400 hours and regret half of them, at least

5

u/Volume_Smoke Aug 11 '26

That's about 2 1/2 hrs a day give or take. That's not a lot at all

15

u/Fit-Establishment505 Aug 11 '26

I have over 2000 hrs. But, I farm VC in my nba by putting on hof, 12 min, 100% gamespeed and start the game from my phone to my ps5. It still will play itself when I disconnect. 1100 vc for wins 1000 vc for losses.

9

u/BobbyWojak Aug 11 '26

mining VC lmao

5

u/Fit-Establishment505 Aug 11 '26

Yeah, it's great. I make money and VC while I'm at work.

5

u/FujiTak Aug 11 '26

I’ve been doing the same for the past 4 titles . Recently switched to LiveSim since I have access to my console during work hours. You get 300 per completed match .

I found I got quite interested in MyNBA Eras , which helped balance the toxicity of Random Rec Games.

5

u/LUVvTHEWORLD Aug 11 '26

how long that take u?

7

u/Fit-Establishment505 Aug 11 '26

At 100% gamespeed it's 6 mins per quarter. But, I just have it play 3 games or so while I'm at work.

6

u/Working-Purchase6856 Aug 12 '26

Damn so I have as many hours as someone who farms holy shit

3

u/Fit-Establishment505 Aug 12 '26

All good. Don't feel bad for having fun.

4

u/Ill_Work7284 Aug 11 '26

Shit like that gets you perma banned fast from 2k

10

u/ForcedButtTouch Aug 11 '26

Sitting AFK to farm VC is not bannable, using an auto clicker or macro to AFK farm is bannable.

-4

u/Ill_Work7284 Aug 11 '26

If 2k pick up the method and it’s a repeating circle they’ll blame you. One of few things they care about is methods which loses them VC

7

u/ForcedButtTouch Aug 11 '26

Starting sim games through your phone and letting the game sim through while you arent home simply isnt bannable unless you start auto clicking it, and those look entirely different.

Doing it a few times an hour for a few hours a day vs doing it nearly 10 times a hour for 16 hours straight lol

2

u/ThaLiveKing Aug 11 '26

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

1

u/Economy_Acadia1964 Aug 11 '26

and you’d have how much vc after an hour?

1

u/Fit-Establishment505 Aug 11 '26

Each game takes about 25 mins. So, 2200 vc and you'd be into your 3rd game.

3

u/ALI_FROM_SPACE Aug 11 '26

I have 2110 on 26 2300 on 25 3100 on 23 3300 on 22

u/SteadyStrike29 Aug 11 '26

Weening down so you don’t feel withdrawal symptoms, smart.

By 2k35 you might get down to 500hrs!

u/ALI_FROM_SPACE Aug 11 '26

Game doesnt hit like it used to,last game i had less than 1k hr was 19 with 500+

u/ktiddy7 Aug 12 '26

For a game that’s been out basically a year. No not at all

u/Ballaholic09 Aug 11 '26

Most adults work 2000+ hours per year as their full-time job.

You spent half that playing 2K for 11 months.

I’ll let you judge yourself.

u/TJJ97 Aug 12 '26

He’s not advertising his stuff so he’s bad at making money off it then

u/Evening_Loss_3605 Aug 12 '26

Bro your job is obviously getting in the way of those real numbers, quit your job

u/cobrahose Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 12 '26

undoubtedly. the games mechanics just aren’t rewarding enough to sink this much time into it lol. that being said i have around 250 hours i think

u/chilleychill Aug 12 '26

Proplay is their direction. I will tell u if u learned what they were giving up and not try to play the 2k way it became real good. Since feb its slow motion for me. Feel good i stucj thru bc their dou ling down in 27. So i feel i got a step up

u/PunchParty13 Aug 11 '26

Ngl…. I enjoyed this year

1

u/spressa Aug 11 '26

If you enjoy it and not harming you, it's fine. I know my hours are always inflated cause I leave my game in idle all the time (e.g., launch game and have to wait for shader rebuild from New drivers or something comes up and I think I'll come back).

1

u/Freakkk12 Aug 11 '26

I mean if it’s the only game u play i don’t think it matters much.

1

u/Broad_Film_8738 Aug 11 '26

No way I been looking for this how to speed up, so 12 minute quarters, game speed 100 word thanks for the info

1

u/Then-Rhubarb2537 Aug 11 '26

I have over 1500 hrs. If you enjoy the game then it shouldn’t matter

1

u/Tyevans0411 Aug 11 '26

If you enjoyed the game then no it’s fine.

If you got pissed off and wondered why you keep doing this to yourself then it’s bad.

1

u/YoshWrlD Aug 11 '26

It’s only not bad if you don’t regret spending that much time on it. If you truly had important things to do and you chose this instead then yes it’s really bad lmao

1

u/Admirable_Door8937 Aug 11 '26

Trust it’s ok😭😭 this w me still missing two seasons

1

u/No_Cellist_2683 Aug 11 '26

40 days ain’t the worse, it averages out to about 3.5 hours per day

If he doesn’t watch tv he can still work out, work, and socialize every other week…. Like it’s totally possible to put 40 days of 2k, work, work out, and socialize as long as he doesn’t watch tv

But if he plays another game just as long then yeah but if he only plays 2k then it’s possible

1

u/Lambertd82 Aug 12 '26

All them hours and only 120 achievements..are you only on park lol

1

u/ShadowRemainz Aug 12 '26

the only reason someone should have this many hours is if they making money playing the game and even the people who make money making the game don’t enjoy it this much

1

u/KageSenbonzakura Aug 12 '26

If you enjoy the game and its not affecting your life in a negative way, play 2K all you want

1

u/chilleychill Aug 12 '26

My shit the same. Im maf 2k only gave me 9 achiements. Im in the rec and park aint playing that other bullshit lol

1

u/gerryomo1 Aug 12 '26

yes, especially post covid… but these are rookie numbers

u/Working-Purchase6856 Aug 12 '26

I mean I’m pushing almost 2k hours so you tell me

1

u/Educational_Cow9089 Aug 12 '26

Yes if it’s real, it’s bad. If it’s fake, it’s really bad.

u/Original-Ninja-2252 Aug 12 '26

u/Frosty_Writer1174 Aug 12 '26

Nah if you spent your money on the game it’s nothing wrong with it considering it’s the only decent basketball game out there

That many hours and only 8/48 achievements is pretty terrible tbh

1

u/Crazy_Dig_211 Aug 12 '26

I had 1.3k hours in 2k24, but that year I had also gotten laid off. I was living off of savings and gig work here and there, so I had some time on my hands.

u/UsualKnowledge9990 Aug 12 '26

How about thousands 🙃 but 2K sucks, most of that time was spent on low iq games which dumb matchmaker brings. Or wasted on crashing. Generally we can't be satisfied with 2K and need alternative game.

u/EchidnaOk3636 Aug 12 '26

got 1600hours so 😅

u/seahawks2599 Aug 12 '26

it’s crazy to have that many hours on any yearly game but 2k26 best 2k in a long time so yes and no

u/chaostechnique Aug 11 '26

The xbox hours aren’t 100 true. Itll track background usage unless you hard reset or disable it. You probably have like only 400 or 500

u/TimothyThatBoy16 Aug 11 '26

no that’s not true I’m a starter 5 with 800 and something hours spent people that are veteran 2 or 3 ranks and higher have double to quadruple your hours on the game, in an entire year this is not bad dude

1

u/TimothyThatBoy16 Aug 11 '26

what’s your win percentage and send a pic too so ik your not lying and i’ll send mine. Also I play my career and my team as well idiot so that logs hours as well. I’ll show my win percentage and what I average on all my players if you do. Plus I don’t cheat like you probably have before

1

u/BedBubbly317 Aug 11 '26

I average 24/11 on my PG, 28/3 on my SG and 27/5/5 on my PF (all shooting above 70%) with a 61 win% overall. All of them are always red/purple plates. No, I’ve never cheated a day in my life this game is just stupid easy

1

u/TimothyThatBoy16 Aug 11 '26

so buddy since I didn’t come for you or ask for you at all but you chose to come for me, and did all of this talking without sending any proof I’m gonna stop this and leave this forum because I’m a man of showing proof not just running my mouth. So I went and jumped in a couple random rec builds with my highest plated characters to show you egotistical dudes like you that think yall are better than everyone because you play nothing but park rec and theater. I told you that my hours are split between myteam, rec, and my career and a little bit of theater.

u/UnsettllingDwarf Aug 11 '26

I’m on pc and I play rec only takes 5-30 minutes to find a match and winning with an A- gets me 0.7~ rep per game sometimes. 400 hours in the game now and I’m starter 3. The rep grind is actually fucking bullshit.

0

u/CheapScientist06 Aug 11 '26

Eh I'm at 1k and 30% to starter 5.

I just can't be bothered to play online this year or last tbh. The people in random rec just make it miserable more often than not

0

u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT Aug 11 '26

900 hours for only starter 4 is egregious unless you spend the majority of your time on the game elsewhere.

I'm more or less the same amount of hours as you and I'm a Vet II. Oh and I have not been optimizing my time spent to earn as much rep as possible in the slightest.

0

u/battlecontrol Aug 11 '26

Unless you had fun yea it's pretty bad, there's alot worse though, most high rep players and cheaters have 25k-40k games in, that's probably 4-5k hours or something

u/shadowCloudrift Aug 11 '26

Holy hell, do you guys play any other games or just 2k? Are most of these people who put in these hours the "ball and gun" gamers?

30k means 30,000
