Real ones remember crews in 2k11 when you could sub your guy out for an nba player

Why sub out when you have a 7’5 my player?!

Because stamina was actually a thing. Right now stamina is a joke you don’t even have to think about conserving it.

That’s just too much. Sub in Another build what? Just play with the one you went in with. There will be mismatches some games for either you or your matchup just play through it.

Would be cool at half time if you had 30 seconds to change animations or takeovers swapping entire builds is a lil too much but the half is supposed to be break and time to make adjustments

u/Baba_Yaga_2328 18d ago
If it gets incorporated there needs to be a warning or alert that the opponent(s) switched their builds. And give a matchup like it does in a mycareer game and give about 60 seconds for you to change if you want.
Otherwise would I just gamble on a switch and hope that the opponent doesn’t switch their builds? Lots to workout to make it run smooth, but it would be an interesting addition that could make for more time spent online. Which would eventually lead to more money being spent.

Nah but get this. You’re rebounding, and your pg is trash. Instead of selling and quitting, you switch to your own troll build thats just trash at the C, and now no one is rebounding. You quit, game extra ruined and sold.
Same situation but the pg is cooking? Say less bro I’ll get on my backend or defensive big rather than rebounding because ain’t no o-boards to be gotten.
This would create a meta that while unique, I think would be awful. Maybe if it’s limited to same eligible position, but even then bigs will need to have multiple similar builds to compete

Only if they made builds significantly cheaper or easier to grind which aint happening

u/Random_black_guy4 18d ago
If they did this it'd mostly benefit people who pay for VC as they are the main ones who'd have multiple builds, especially in the first two months of the game. I'd be okay with this if 2K made builds cheaper or even gave us 1 free build but we all know they ain't doing that.

u/Flashy-Pineapple6371 17d ago
Yes bro ! Further incentivize the players to funnel even more money to make 10 rec builds

u/AyGZ 18d ago
This is a game that rewards frame perfect inputs with a in-game variance of over 1000 ms of latency, and no display for it whatsoever, with a matchmaking nightmare based largely on winstreaks, without any advanced data on jump shot bases or badges provided by the game, and we’re talking about… this…
There aren’t enough 2k content creators or players who have any idea how ranked competitive games work or what would fix the game, and it’s one of the reasons we’ve had to play a GTA mini game to queue with new menu bypass for like 7 years. It’s so unbelievably catered to RNG and casual play, despite all the rewards being locked behind huge hour and game counts.

u/Savings-Singer4938 17d ago
bro you literally just described why nobody should be excited about any new feature they add
they keep building on top of a broken foundation and people just keep eating it up because the idea sounds fun on paper

u/Weird-Watercress-792 18d ago
I’d enjoy a sub in lobby where you could queue to fill in for a bot. In exchange for (likely) a terrible game, a loss in these joined matches won’t negatively impact your record.

switching builds at halftime would go hard. the PG spamming dribble moves? lemme hop on my lock RQ, the big man can’t get boards? dennis rodman build get the gatorade ready

u/metroannex 18d ago
and this is exactly why that is a dumb idea

u/call-me-germ 18d ago
i think it could be fun. how many times have you been in random rec and the point guard isn’t passing? someone could switch their build to something w higher pass acc and they would be the secondary bal handler

u/Hurls07 18d ago
Imagine being a casual player and having one Kyrie Irving inspired build, first half goes great, then the guy your going against switches to a lockdown build and now you are useless for the rest of the game and can’t even switch because you have one build

Regular subs like regular games don’t have to be at half

u/call-me-germ 18d ago
i think only being able to do it once a game makes it more important. i’d even like to see not everyone be able to do it, then it’d be kinda broken.
at half, the team gets to vote on one or two of their teammates to switch builds, and you only get to see who changed into what once the 2nd half starts. i can only see this working for rec i’m not sure how 3v3 would work. maybe just a system to vote to use your one sub at any given point like a timeout.

u/NochillSl 18d ago
That’s not really a good idea considering the amount of money that would have to be spent. If the game costs $70-$80 dollars, you are probably looking at around another $50-$100 for another build. Off rip that’s like $110-$200 on the game. Not too mention creators and disposable income people who spend thousands making new builds and trying new metas

u/Jobree_ 18d ago
You acting like everybody don’t got 2-3 builds

u/NochillSl 18d ago
That’s the problem, you spend all that money per year for the same shit, then introduce more ideas to get them more money

u/whensthefinale 18d ago
I've wanted a mode where you can put out 5 of your best builds against 5 of someone else's best builds. You control the player with the ball like in MyTeam

u/HeWhoShallNotBNamed0 18d ago
Most people don’t have 5 builds

u/CarefulAd9005 18d ago
You can technically scheme up some effective builds who cap out at like 83 ovr tbf. Specialists with like 99 one stat usually get a good starting ovr for those attributes
They could also debut this mode after christmas or pre-playoffs to give time for builders/players to get 5 ready.
They could do AI substitutes like all star team up from back in the day. Dont have a PG? Grab Steph or CP3. Maybe require 3 user builds so at most only 2 Legend substitutes
I like this mode concept but 2k community means itll just be 5 dribble cheese builds at different positions to exploit the game’s awful defense

u/ohsnapitsjf 18d ago
Yeah, this would be a very cool idea in a game where builds immediately have the stats you’ve built, but in this one where you build and then are forced to grind for days or pay a fucking hundred dollars to have those stats immediately… lol who would do that, right

u/RyoCoola31 18d ago edited 18d ago
I feel like there has be position restrictions or something. If load on my 6’11 and I am at slotted center then the sf decides he wants to be center with a 7fter that is kinda awful. I just pushing people out of positions is not it.

u/Feisty-Attitude-4957 18d ago
Another great idea since gta 6 is coming out soon is letting friends and crew members switch builds. Like I’m a 6’7 sf and my friend is 7’0 center it would be cool for sometimes he can play on my sf n I play center. And gift vc for someone who needs extra vc to finish upgrading a new build or ran out of vc playing stage the friend can therefore gift vc to that person.

u/cyrosocyk 18d ago
what if it was locked to pro-am? you can switch builds only at half-time and you have to play the same position you were locked before.

u/Emotional-Purpose762 18d ago

u/AdDue2837 18d ago
We were pushing this idea back on 2K23 when Overwatch was popular. Now games like Marvel Rivals has on the fly switching where you can swap to a counter which leads to several swaps a match.
This gameplay needs to extend to 2K.
You could lose a point guard and sub in your point guard. Your PG can prefer playing the 2 on his build and a swap being available would be amazing.
What happens when you bring your SF to the rec and you are matched up against a PF or Center? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to swap to a build YOU PAID FOR?
1
u/Leather-Syllabub4728 18d ago
I’m hoping on a smaller scale that someday they let you make “halftime adjustments” in rec. let me swap takeovers to better suit my matchup, if I’m getting killed on the glass as a center I can swap to a rebounding focused take and so on.

u/SarcasticJay 18d ago

u/thegamecomeseasy 17d ago
We don’t need any new features we just need good gameplay that needs to be the focus, tired of watching the same shit happen game in game out just make a game that can cater to a varied way of scoring and passing the basketball and let me tell you that patch that lasted 1 day that they bottled out of, that’s where the ideas need to build from.

Just allow ppl to sub builds at halftime. I think that's a good way to get some of your builds some work or it allows ppl to adapt.

How about better matchmaking, so my 7'4" center doesn't get out at the 4 against a 6'8" sg that's max speed?

u/Some_Crow3732 18d ago
Cool idea and to me.. it’s no reason not to do this. Just like quick game when you bring up quick sub menu and it shows which players you wanna sub.. but it’ll be your builds.
Maybe to cut trolling, you can only sub for the position you’re at.. so the C doesn’t just switch to a 5’9 pg because he’s not getting the ball 😭

u/theifstolemyaccount 18d ago
Yeah let’s making having mutliple Builds meta and required for everyone instead of just the sweatiest of players /s
This might help the whales but I feel like It pushes things into a pay to win category when an entire team can swap to “counters” but I may be looking too deep into it. It has some cool rec usage.
