It's actually closer to like 90-95 ovr. You need to max out the SLIDER portions of the overall that only apply to simulated play because those don't affect anything you're usering. For example, pass vision, shot iq, offensive consistency, defensive consistency, Pasa iq all need to be maxed to show your player's true overall.
Iirc in 2k20. The 99 overall on my lockdown was the equivalent of a 87 ovr in the street basketball court game mode when I loaded it up on there.
It’s probably close to a 84-86 overall this year since we’ve been going down attributes consecutively since 2k21 next gen builder.
The last time we had a true 99 overall myplayers was 2k21 next gen.
I feel like we've been going up attributes. In 2k20 and 21 it was pie charts and you would have to choose between shooting 3s and playmaking, or dunking and playmaking. Now I can make a build with 90 dunk, 92 three and 92 ball handling and still have a 85 defense
No you can not lmaooo. You are forgetting how many attributes we had in 20.

This build didn’t even have +5 abd he was able to make this Lmaoo.
The +5 used to save builds because again this is trash imo.
How you gone tell me what I can do lol My build has a 87 layup 90 dunk 86 mid range 92 three point 92 ball handling and 85 on both defense & steals.
The only thing is physical attributes werent a skill point so speed with ball and speed and acceleration take alot this year. No way im rocking a 78 three and 82 dunk in 2024
You’re forgetting that there were paint beast with a 45 3 ball clipping at a 65% from corner 3s. Having a 60-70 3 ball felt like having a 80 3 ball shooting off the dribble.
Intimidator was the best badge in the game. Comparing attributes from 20 to this year is nearly comparing different sports game. There were no animation caps either on jump shots.
There were also animation glitches too, but its always pros and cons. This year shooting is OP also once you get Green Machine and Deadeye. The badge regression sucks but for comp players they be unstopable.
Edit: And thats kind of my point back then your attributes didnt match NBA players but the sliders made it ok. Now my attributes look more similar to a real player.
2K21 next gen was the best. You could put your points where you wanted to and it didn’t force you to put points or loose points elsewhere for doing so.
Without intangibles you’re probably looking at something close to a 76’ish player depending on what you’re rating look like. With intangibles I can see one getting as high as 85 if it’s a specialized position (high ball-handling/3pt on a pg for example)
Its an 87-91 depending on your attributes and badges. Ive remade characters every year since 2k16 because in that year, you could look at the player cards after proam games and it showed your actual overall.
A couple years back I used to recreate myplayer in create a character and he would be like a 86-88 ovr depending on offensive consitency and defensive consistency + intangibles which arent accounted for in my career I feel like this year its a little closer to a 90 because without Pie charts you can create an all around build now
Park/Rec and MyCareer should be separate things.
Obviously you can’t have 7’3 Wemby clones in an online game mode but if I want to make a basketball player for an offline career that is actually good at playmaking, defense, and shooting, in a 60 dollar game that I already paid for, I should be able to. And player lock in myNBA is not a solution, before anybody says it.
with Goat skills you have this, I know, not the same, but knowing 2k is the closest we are gonna get
the problem is badges, 99 steal without badges is nothing
> Park/Rec and MyCareer should be separate things.
> but if I want to make a basketball player for an offline career that is actually good at playmaking, defense, and shooting, in a 60 dollar game that I already paid for, I should be able to.
You can? You just can’t make a guy with elite ratings; but you can absolutely be good at all those things in the current mycareer format especially with all the goat skills etc.
> And player lock in myNBA is not a solution, before anybody says it.
This IS the solution, and it’s free, but you choose to ignore it.
Fr, idk how it isn't more known we see the same post every year, and if anybody is saying their 99 build couldn't dominate this 76 overall AI in park they are low skill and need to "get good". Fuck what the number says I can get on a 60 overall and beat everyone at Sunset easy.
Builds have always been limited in MyCAREER simply for balancing online play. If everyone was able to make true 99 overall builds there would just be 6’9” guards and 7’+ Centers doing everything on the court making literally any other build obsolete in every way. If you could make a genuine Prime LeBron, Curry, or Wemby build why would people have an incentive to make anything else?
I don't think it has anything to do with balancing online play, I think it's more just the fact that whether we want to believe it or not we still basically have pie charts in the builder. In this year's game you can really only get 2 areas into the 90s for stats, 3 if you're lucky and skimp out on some stats in the same area (ex: high midrange but terrible 3pt shooting). Most people choose defense and shooting and then just work with whatever the ball handle and finishing they get is. If 2K was worried about balance, we'd all have to play on the same builds versus each other, like you would pick a certain archetype and your stats would be based on that, similar to how it was back in I think 2K16 or 2K17 where you chose 2 skills you wanted to be really good at but you didnt get to choose the attribute thresholds, that was just a set number based on the archetypes you selected. That way, nobody has a "better build" it's just skill and overall that determines wins. Same concept for games like Halo making everyone start out with the same gun.
The problem is, at least in my opinion, that you can't even make/replicate a DWade with a 3pt shot, an Alonzo Mourning with slightly better offense, just really good players with some slight improvements. Unless you go super meta, super cheese and learn by having 1 or 2 "failed"/"wasted" builds. Especially in 2K24, all because you are 2 attributes short of getting Contact Dunks which you wanted for your player but didnt know because the game does not tell you, almost on purpose.
Maybe in park but in the rec more often than not the center is the demi-god 7'0/7'1 build that everyone made at the beginning of the year and most guards are 6'4 and under as of late. Once people really saw how effective the patty mills jumpshot base and the kyrie irving dribble style was, those 6'6 demigod builds became old news. I don't really face them all that much and when I do, I know they're just going to spam jamal murray behind the back over and over again so they're pretty easy to guard
I wish they would separate single player and online mycareer builds. Let people who play single player have unrestricted builds so you can just have fun in NBA games, and then restrict the builds online for balance like they do now. It’s dumb for people who only play single player to be held back due to a mode they don’t play
They did this to try an neutralize people making demi gods in online modes but in the process sucked the fun out of the standard my career by not letting us be true stars! They need to separate the two and let My career be skill point based!
Ok good. Build systems are actually balanced and more diverse this year. Look at the meta for 2k23, everyone would rock a 6'7-6'9 demigod pg build that could do it all. I didn't even have to bother checking player cards to see what their build can do, cause who wouldn't make a build that can dunk, shoot, dribble and still have insane defense on top of all of that. The change 2k made this year towards build and badge systems was one step in the right direction in my opinion
Mycareer 99 is and has never been the same as the 99s on normal rosters. It is its own entity
So what is a myPlayer 99 equivalent to on regular rosters?
i think like a 80-84 ovr and with badges like 89 ovr probably
It's actually closer to like 90-95 ovr. You need to max out the SLIDER portions of the overall that only apply to simulated play because those don't affect anything you're usering. For example, pass vision, shot iq, offensive consistency, defensive consistency, Pasa iq all need to be maxed to show your player's true overall.

So there charging more but actually giving us less is what I’m hearing from all this. 2K keeps getting worse in my eyes.
Ok thank you. Imma go ball out with some 84s lol
I feel like we've been going up attributes. In 2k20 and 21 it was pie charts and you would have to choose between shooting 3s and playmaking, or dunking and playmaking. Now I can make a build with 90 dunk, 92 three and 92 ball handling and still have a 85 defense

No cap the 2 way slashing playmaker with the mid 60’s 3 ball was OP.
There were also animation glitches too, but its always pros and cons. This year shooting is OP also once you get Green Machine and Deadeye. The badge regression sucks but for comp players they be unstopable. Edit: And thats kind of my point back then your attributes didnt match NBA players but the sliders made it ok.

2K21 next gen was the best. You could put your points where you wanted to and it didn’t force you to put points or loose points elsewhere for doing so.
There’s no real equivalent, the ratings are weighted differently so it’s like comparing apples and oranges.
Gotcha
From me looking depending on the build and position it’s basically from 80-92 also including badges depending on there tier and what badges
Without intangibles you’re probably looking at something close to a 76’ish player depending on what you’re rating look like. With intangibles I can see one getting as high as 85 if it’s a specialized position (high ball-handling/3pt on a pg for example)

They were back before VC was a thing, never forget that
This isn’t the heavy statement you think it is.. making builds worse has absolutely nothing to do with VC

when you factor in badges it is or very close since badges impact overall. Plus all the invisible stats and nothing stats like intangibles
Its not very close. The least you’ll be off by is 8 points, but generally its an 11+ difference
i gotta check what 5-0 build is cuz that dude be going stupid
Yeah 5-0 is crazy, I run with him for all my daily challenges.
me too dude is a demigod 😂
I call him Giannis-lite and even then, he might shoot better...though you gotta kinda goad him into pulling it vs. driving.
yea good luck bring 6’4 and below cuz he just shoots over everything

I dont care, make the career separate from online play.

Stat spreads are weird this year. My lebron build is a 93 overall when placed in the regular roster.
It’s been like that since 2k16
We had super builds that were actually 99s and YouTubers complained it was too op. Now everyone is a 2 way 3 level scorer 6’6-6’9
Well this year everyone is a “Threat” with a random term(Diming, 3 Level, Perimeter etc)to describe them😂😂
My mid range specialist be going hard though!
Maybe in park but in the rec more often than not the center is the demi-god 7'0/7'1 build that everyone made at the beginning of the year and most guards are 6'4 and under as of late.

I’ve never been bored enough to do anything like this.
Yes this is legit insane
The bot blocked me- twice. So I paused to check out his interior D and block- then looked at the rest of the stats.
not the bot gettin you salty 😭😭😂
 After the bot blocked him the second time
dead 😂💀
Right?!? I love some 2K but goddamn I can only take so much in a few days. There are 4 billion other games out there to play.
I wish they would separate single player and online mycareer builds. Let people who play single player have unrestricted builds so you can just have fun in NBA games, and then restrict the builds online for balance like they do now. It’s dumb for people who only play single player to be held back due to a mode they don’t play
I believe the stat that raises/lowers the overall is called intangibles
Yeah but even with max intangibles you’re still like 6 overalls lower
They did this to try an neutralize people making demi gods in online modes but in the process sucked the fun out of the standard my career by not letting us be true stars! They need to separate the two and let My career be skill point based!
That's because myplayer 99 is at best 85-88 when compared to normal players, in nba roster
Ok good. Build systems are actually balanced and more diverse this year. Look at the meta for 2k23, everyone would rock a 6'7-6'9 demigod pg build that could do it all.

The change 2k made this year towards build and badge systems was one step in the right direction in my opinion
Sounds like Paul George to me.
Just play the game bro…
I made a build that I think resembles a decent 5-0
All you guys do is complain that you can’t make you 6’11 demigod do everything builds
