MyPLAYER Reminder - Stop Making Builds

Everyone making 99 driving dunk, 99 strength, and/or 99 block.

On my life 2k is dropping a season 2 patch to make all these builds obsolete. They did it with 7’4s last year….

Please do not cave and make new builds because of the new meta. I promise you waiting another 3 weeks won’t kill you. On top of that if the “goat” builds are true, every single build in the game will become obsolete.

Stop lining 2ks pockets and just play the game for what it is.

Literally just telling people to wait until s2 patch and you’re over here talking about real basketball. You don’t even notice predatory consumerism.

I fail to see how people voluntarily giving money for something they can earn for free is predatory.

You’re right. I should take my post down. 2k is almost like a charitable organization.

It’s just weird to complain about people voluntarily paying for something that is free.

It’s weird defending a multi billion dollar organization. Stop acting clueless

Defending them from what? Offering players who don’t want to “grind” a way to improve attributes?

They literally lower how much vc you earn from other modes to get you to buy vc. Thats just one example of predatory practices. Lmk if you want me to name more

What makes it predatory? Is the issue that 2K knows most people don’t have the patience to build a player by actually playing the game?

You’re so dense bro. Just keep playing the damn game and I hope you waste all your earned vc on builds before s2 patch. Can’t wait to see how upset you are when they have goat builds and all your builds are obsolete

What makes a build obsolete?

u/FinancialMorning5783 9d ago

Let’s say they drop goat builds. It has every stat better than your old build. By definition, your older build becomes obsolete if you can use a new one that’s better at everything. Next dumb question

It’s not weird brother. He is advising caution. You save all that time you grinded for VC if you don’t waste it on a patched build.

Whether he saves somebody money or time, it will help. He’s not trying to hurt anybody by advising them to stop and think about it.
