NBA 2K16: MyTeam's Charms Fade Away

[RaychelSnr]

Has a friend ever told you about a popular song you have yet to hear? He tells you that it’s tearing up the charts and he can’t figure out why because it’s so terrible. So one day, you’re driving home from work and the song finally comes on the radio. You’re ready to agree with your friend, but you find yourself bobbing your head and thinking, “you know, this song ain’t that bad.” You’re almost embarrassed to admit it, but you actually like the song.

Well, that’s the frame of mind I was in when I wrote this article three months ago. And now that I’ve listened to the song a few times, I now understand where my friend was coming from.

I totally agree, I have spent hundreds of dollars on MyTeam (pack whore). My lineup is decent, but I can't stand the odds. I pulled James Harden and Lebron James early on, I sold Harden to pick up other pieces for my squad. Got lucky and pulled Anthony Davis, sold him and picked up Steph Curry. I spent, what felt like $1,000,000 to get Anthony Davis again and worked the block to get some DPOTY players and the ROTY Michael Jordan. I know it seems like I should be happy with my team, but after spending well over $300 on a game that I spent $90 (Michael Jordan edition) for, I feel like an idiot. I think the pack odds should be adjusted to reward people that buy with MT over VC. I also think the promo packs should only be purchased with MT, with better odds at getting cards from the promo.

What is with everyone all of sudden wanting handouts in UT modes? Specifically Myteam?

Bronze players? Are you opening up the cheapest packs? TBT packs and League VIPs never give bronze players.

Why havent you tried to get any of the free amerhyst players you recieve from beating the cpu challenges. Why was that not mentioned at all. You can have a stacked team without opening up a single pack.

Kinda disappointed in OS with this "Poor me and my pack luck" article.

Seems like people want juiced packs. I don't feel bad for people who spend hundreds of dollars on these modes and get burnt. You can easily play this mode and spend A DIME.

That's on you for spending that type of money.

Anyone who complains about pack luck etc on MyTeam, should really give FIFA Ultimate Team a run...

As a longtime mycareer player on basketball games I decided to give myteam a try for the first time in NBA2k16. It started out super fun, having historical players mixed in with the current stars is tough to beat but it has grown a bit boring for me. Getting good players is a crap shoot and playing online is a quit-fest of cheese. I think this mode has a lot of potential but pack prices and odds really are out of control.

Thanks for all the great articles OS!

It's also annoying when you're working and all the unemployed, it jids are opening timely packs mid day and getting the ultimate rewards and posting on Twitter one after the other. Time of day shouldn't matter. Ronnie 2K used to give out codes for,My Team, again time of day shouldn"t matter. Why punish the working and reward the kids and the unemployed ? Haha. I've just started to open packs recently. I only bother with the Curry packs, everything else I've earned through gaunlet, and card collecting rewards. Play Gauntlet article guy.

This mode is a joke. If you want more money put more classic teams in there for purchase or the ability to edit leagues, teams, so we can play throwback franchises or MyGM. Just a money grab

As the charm fades away... the pack odds go up! and the VC is spent. And life goes on for 2k stockholders.

here was the rest of my day on nba 2k16 ps4 myteam around 4 or 5 people quit on me in a row i had about 2000 mt to start before i ever played one game....by the end i have like 500 mt because if someone quits on you in the first minute or quarter...you end up losing mt because you only get what you make in a game so i ended up unable to play anymore games...i never got to earn any and had to pay for contracts..

I think the essential point of FUT/MUT/MyTeam is that its gambling. Think about it. You spend $$ on a pack to get someone good, you buy just one more, just one more to get 'that guy'. Its gambling pure and simple and its targeting children. I refuse to take part in these modes. Forget about DFS, this is a real issue.

Re: NBA 2K16: MyTeam's Charms Fade Away

Man this article has come at the perfect time, I've just given up on my team mode. I can't get decent cards, I can't win with the game play the way it is, I can't beat terrible players because 2K seems to be aimed towards letting them win. Im sure I'm getting beaten by a bunch of 13 year olds who have bought the best players or been lucky and I'm an accomplished old 2K player who's been at this series since the start. I can win on any mode but myteam.

Im sick of the VC and MT situation. You can't be good unless you're rich. This mode has nothing to do with skill.

They need to get rid of this money system. I know it's making them money now but a lot of complaints are surfacing now and it will only take a few more years max before people start to really go elsewhere and the 2K company will be screwed as Noone will buy the game. You can only fool people for so long.

Re: NBA 2K16: MyTeam's Charms Fade Away

BTW do you guys advise using MT to buy packs? I can't seem to save enough up to buy decent players and I seem to be stuck on the same amount as contracts cost as much as I make.

I never normally spend it as I know you should just go to the auction block but I can't afford anything there anyway!
