When every reward is just another 99, what is the motivation?
-
@PriorFir4383355_XBL It sounds like you should just join a custom league where what you are suggesting already exists. The vast majority of people don’t want what you are suggesting.

@rubicante23_PSN One simple way to make more cards useful is captains that actually make a competitive theme team.
-
@Dolenz_PSN The best cards have to be either difficult to get based on skill, difficult to get based on the grind, or expensive. I think the problem is there aren’t enough really good cards that are difficult to get just from the grind. There really isn’t much of a grind anymore except for nominal rewards like the my legacy stuff or the #1 fan icons. All the programs are too easy and can be done in an hour or so. Most of the rewards are not great. Same goes for TA.

Topical, announced recently for NBA 2K26:
Another new game mode within Breakout is Gauntlet, where you put your entire collection to the test by completing games of increasing difficulty.
Gauntlet features a new straight-line game board—but there’s a twist. As you progress from Rookie difficulty to more challenging difficulties, you’ll only be able to use each of your Player Cards once per run. With Triple Threat, Clutch Time, and quick Full Lineup games, depth is your friend in this game mode, but so is understanding how to maximize every card in your collection.

Im hoping for a set of 64s to come out instead of 99s

The positive aspect of having 99s, as an offline player, I enjoy mixing up my lineups, and being creative with theme teams. I believe having a good variety of 99s, actually helps that method of play.

Wish they had player evolution cards where there are gates to gradually allow you to work them to 99. Start at say 75. First gate is is 80 at launch, 85 in April, 90 in May, 95 in June and 99 in July. Maybe choose from 4 players and you only get 1. In September, SDS can release 99 that are accessible for all 4 so you can still get them all later. For example, maybe guys like Frank Thomas, Soriano, Pudge, and Finley. And make it so they can contribute PXP to any of the teams they played for and be eligible for those team’s captains boost. Just try something different. Either that or allow a CAP with position, attribute and character restrictions and they can follow the same gates.
But alas, with screen freezing and broken attribute wheels still an issue this may all just be wishful thinking.

Yeah, it was MLB 18 and it was horrific and almost ruined the franchise
-
Once you start deploying 97s, going to 99 is pretty much the next step.
-
If I’m not mistaken this has been a topic of issue since I personally started playing in 17. I think that’s just a personal issue . Some people going to hate it some love it … at the end of the day just play with whoever you want . And I say that and I’ve experienced playing with a fun team or supercharged players for sun and I match up with a sweaty all 99 team lol sucks

Your motivation: Use Master (Bryan) Chi as your full-time closer for the rest of the year against everyone else's All-99 team.
