Why am I capped at 85 ovr?

You're capped at 85 OVR in NBA 2K because that's your starting overall, and you need to play games, earn attribute upgrades (cap breakers), and spend VC (Virtual Currency) to increase your player's stats and break through that initial ceiling to reach the 99 OVR max. Each time you fill the progression bar by playing, you unlock points to raise your ratings, and these points eventually raise your overall cap past 85, allowing you to reach 99 OVR.

What does cap hold mean in NBA 2K?

In NBA 2K (and real NBA), a cap hold is a temporary salary cap charge for your own impending free agents, acting as a placeholder to prevent teams from abusing cap space by signing outside players and then re-signing their own stars for huge deals, essentially locking up cap space for those potential re-signings. It's the team's estimated future salary obligation for a player not currently under contract, and to get rid of the hold, a team must either sign the player or renounce their rights, freeing up cap space but losing Bird Rights to go over the cap for them.
