Maybe I'm just getting old, but I still don't get this "end game" bullshit

I really don't.
What's the story there? The game has a one year span where cards constantly getting better, so the ones in the end you had and probably did not use as much as the ones before are some Holly grail shit?
How is diamond Stockton or PD reward Steph who lasted for months are worse in retrospective
It feels like dudes just want to hang their hats onto some digital cards and their lineups they had at the end of game cycle and feel like they achieved their goals in game by having said lineups.
But the issue to me lies in these key factors:
It's a video game that goes thru a yearly cycle so unless you make a screenshot and print it out and frame it on the wall it has no meaning even to yourself.
A month or two in to next 2k game and you won't even remember your best lineups you had in previous 2k.
So like when people card collect in real life and the cards have some sentimental value and people would not sell the said cards or buy them for huge amount of money, because they're rare and whatnot, that makes sense.
But all this end game stuff is just god damn weird in a game that you have to buy a new copy every year and can't even safe files of what you had and what not
-
@knezius it’s called end game because the most op lineups are already available so it’s really no point in buying new cards if you have them.
I stoped playing back in October simply because the game was so terrible and don’t plan on playing next year or at least MyTeam unless they make the game mode more realistic.
End game is basically just the dead end of the game cause either you run a full 6’9 plus team or you get ran off the court for the most part and everyone just runs 5 out.
-
@pandemicp that's kinda it, but not really my man.
There are plenty of people who save their MT, because not everyone's MT ritch, and then try to use said MT to have best "end game" lineups.
So really it's more than just a saying. And I could give few more examples of how this logic is an actual thing.
-
@pandemicp agree 100% with you
End game because the game dont have any logic behind at this point -
@knezius its just the time of the cycle that top quality cards become obtainable to basically everyone. They (usually) juice pack odds, give top tier cards for free and give people stuff to burn tokens on. Everything they withheld all year they just open the floodgates and let it all out.
If it was like this all year, the mode would suck, but personally I enjoy this phase when they do it right

here’s my opinion on the saving your mt for endgame.
My favourite part of every 2k game is the first month and the last 2 months.
I love the first month because not every card can do everything and even someone’s best skill isn’t perfect. Rewards are viable, tokens are viable, grinding any mode is viable, and there is a significant difference between whale cards and budget cards.
I love the last 2 months because every card can do everything at an elite level. Budget guys and whales have almost no difference. Everyone knows how to play the game. Grinds feel worth it.
I don’t like anything in between because budget cards in a lot of cases are better than the whale options, and every card can do everything but not at an elite level yet

I’m the exact opposite. I like the middle, December-April. The cards aren’t all 99 god tier cards and they aren’t literal dogshit, I definitely get hyped to know that cards won’t be recycled and that’s when we got the best moments this year, Terry and Ferry. The packs were good, moments actually happens, there’s good free stuff (season of giving), and this is when most people play the game.

@petravork You dirty Americans removing u’s from words. And who spells racquet like “racket”? Nasty
-
Honestly i feel like 2K shouldn’t be an annual release. I wouldn’t mind if they dropped a new game every 4 years so at least when they dropped a new version you could see significant changes. End game is wack because you only have 1 month (or so) to use these op cards then you have to start from scratch with a lot of the same bullshit as the last cycle. That’s partially the reason I’m probably not gonna get 2k22 unless i know it’s on another level. Because I feel like the next cycle will be identical to this one.
-
We've been in endgame for months now with the way we can add badges and with all the boosts. Best time of myteam to me is April until the end of the cycle. I don't care about shitty gold and emeralds cards. I only like elite cards that I can plug in and play the way I want to play. When you can undress your opponent who also has a full 99 team that's fun to me.

@clarke_griffin this whole time I thought it was racquet

I'm with you. I actually don't even play much MyTeam from release until February anyways. I stick to park/rec at the beg of the year.

-
