Will they ever fix Bench Press.. did they even play test it?

It's so difficult and frustrating that I'd basically consider it a bug. The guys at 2K could not have possibly play-tested that and thought it was a good idea.

Can't they fix this with a patch or something? It's utterly pointless and just annoying and the result is that literally nobody uses the bench or leg press in the gym because it's basically broken and it totally ruins the entire NBA Draft Combine experience in MyCareer because you have to be a total fluke not to come dead last ever time you try it which ruins your entire Combine.

Is there a forum for bug reports somewhere?

I'd prefer if they just removed the 'training' all together. It's just a 'time sink' for the purpose of advertising. It's not like most don't go in there anyway for boosts.

Re: Will they ever fix Bench Press.. did they even play test it?

Bench Press and Leg Press are the two I do every week lol. I generally get +3 on the bench press even without messing up a single rep, but I pretty much never mess up on either of those.

Re: Will they ever fix Bench Press.. did they even play test it?

I don't really know how to explain to you in text how to do it, but they're actually very easy.

Bench press is actually bugged btw. It's impossible(as far as I know) to get +4 even if you do every rep perfectly. The rep requirement for +4 is one too many. I found a youtube video that helped me understand the drill.



the only difference between 2k19 and 2k20 is that on the first few reps on 2k20 you have to keep the bar slanted a lot longer since the ball won't go back to the middle. After around 3 reps you can flick the analog stick like usual.

On the leg press, just point both sticks up the entire time and never flick them. You can get 4+ every time. Learned that trick from Reddit .

Re: Will they ever fix Bench Press.. did they even play test it?

The Bench press isn't that tough once you figure out how to do it, 2K just did a poor job of explaining it with their on-screen icons:

1) Pull both joysticks down to start your rep
2) Slowly and gently tilt up on the joystick that the ball bearing indicator is leaning towards to rebalance and redistribute the ball bearing
3) Repeat the same process for the next rep

I just do sprint, leg press, squat, ropes and that 1 legged ladder stuff.

All easy to get 3+ or more lol

Nice to get that extra stamina as well on top of your other boost .
