So I'm assuming you were lucky enough so that your player actually has a name? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the usual and took the shortcut to 85... Cost about $35. Get into it and notice something odd... There is no name on my jersey in the game... Or under me... Or anywhere. I think okay...odd but maybe the fake college team just doesn't have your name on the Jersey. Finish the first game look at all menus I can and confirm... My player has no name... Literally... Nothing. I entered a name obviously although I had to enter my actual name because it wouldn't let me use the name Rob Shadows because apparently the word "Shadows" is inappropriate and can't be used? But anyway... Now I'm stuck with a nameless myplayer and I can't simply make a new one because I spent money on the damn thing.🤬 Yea, I've seen people complain about this as well. Weird that's an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 3 hours ago, rob_shadows said: $100? Only cost me $35...I bought one 75,000 VC pack, one 35,000 VC pack, and one 15,000 VC pack...$35 total for 125,000VC which was enough to get to 85, well with the 5,000VC I had from pre-ordering. Every build can be different. I've seen some people need 200K VC to get their build to an 85 and some people need less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 2 hours ago, rob_shadows said: This is the first time I've ever bought 2K on launch day and between how clunky the gameplay is and the bug with my player having no name I've already decided it will be the last. On top of that the entire reason I bought it at launch was because I wanted to try to get to 99 for once (never done it before) and be "immortalized" in the next 2K game .... But they don't do that anymore apparently 😒 Although if you reach legend rep you can get 2K21 for free... But I don't play the online modes so... Not happening. Yea, in last years game there was a 'road to 99' and it took most people like 7-8 months of playing the game 5-6 hours per day to reach 99. It was an absurd grind. They really shortened it by a ton, so there will be more 95+ overall players than ever this year. Because of this, you can only get 2K21 by reaching legend rep - something that the overwhelming majority of people will not be able to do. And you have to be one of the first to reach legend rep, too, because the offer is limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other sports game gives rewards like that (that I'm aware of anyway) so even if it's unlikely I'll reach it I still have to give them credit for even doing it.

That's enough to get two to 85 easily regardless of build. Edited September 7, 2019 by rob_shadows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard, they didn't give a lot of stuff out to the people who hit 99 in 2K19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_shadows Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I will say this... The story in mycareer is actually decent this year... Easily the best they've ever done (though that's not saying much) and for once it's something I don't mind playing through again when I make new builds.

hornbybrown Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 My first my player build is called my player, they really need to fix that. Luckily I haven’t spent anything on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 A friend of mine is going to game share this with me. She just approached me with that idea, I've never done it before. Anyways, I'm downloading it right now and make my guy after I get home from work. I might change, but I'm leaning toward a playmaking/defensive PG that's 6'6". Can make as many as six HoF defensive badges and five HoF playmaking badges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of my builds, I made a pure defense pie chart PF and a defense/playmaking pie chart PG. I made the point guard 6'5 though because if you go 6'6 you lose a bit too much on the finishing and athleticism for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_shadows Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 One of these days I'll actually try making a shooting build... But for years I've always played mycareer as defensive players/slashers...I pretty much have no idea how to get open for shots in these games.

You can't in the beginning, I'm not sure when you're able to as I haven't unlocked the ability to do so yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_shadows Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Apparently gamers are pissed about the the state of the game #fix2k20 is trending on Twitter And there's a petition to have Ronnie fired for false advertising (that one's a little much imo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
