          We just had the best game of our terrible season. We were 7-19 heading into game against Wizards. We got down out quick and look like lead was getting out of hand. We were down 20 after halftime. I was set to just sim rest of game. But i was gunning to get some blocks to get Silver Rim Protector. By 4th we got down to under 10 and I didn't have any blocks so I wanted to finish game. They were missing shots. I started the game 3-12 FG after half time. But finished 6-9FG. We eventually got the lead back and I started getting blocks. We won by 7. I finished with 17 points, 32 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 1 steal.

          Just got Silver Rim Protector. By using Chase Down Drill, I should get Silver Chase Down after I do drills after next game. Then I'm not sure which badge next. I want to do a offensive badge. I either want to get to Silver Mid Range Deadeye. But i would have to work exclusivly through drills since I have yet to see that badge work on Bronze. If not that one. I might work on a post badge. But I haven't touched Post ratings yet and might only go to 60s.

            After 30 games, we have worse record at 8-22. I'm averaging 13.7 ppg, 17.3 rpg, and 2.6 bpg. I got chasedown and rim protector to Silver. Now I'm trying to decide whether I want to work on Silver Mid Range Deadeye or Pick And Roller. MRD is harder of 2 to work on since Mid Range is only 76 and it feels like the bronze badge never triggers. PnR drill is pretty much the easiest drill to do but it would take longer to max badge due to the drill being tied to Brick Wall and PnR. So at most I only get 600 XP for PnR for the drills while I can get 1200 for MRD if i have 3 stars or even 700. But I have to focus heavily on drills to get those badges to Silver since I can't really make Mid Range shots unless I perfectly time the shot and even though I set tons of screens a game, I don't really get PnR chances since the guys we have like to pull up shots. So after those badges get to Silver(which I believe is the max for both badges), I will work on Post badges.
            Definitely want to leave team in Free Agency. I want to play for a slower paced defensive team. But, there could be a reason for me wanting to stay. Since we have worse record so far and little belief we go on a winning streak, there is a chance we could end up with the #1 pick or at least a top 3 pick. So if we could get a potential star rookie PG, Devin Booker continues to progress, Josh Jackson becomes starter later this season and improves his offense next year, and Chriss's 3pt rating get closer to 80 and his defense gets better. Then that is a completely better team then it is now. Not sure if you can see potential rookies. But in previous years you could see progression. Too bad you can't create an additional save files. That way I can choose to stay with team and see if players progress and if we get a good rookie. If not then i can go back and choose another team.

              How do you get so much every game?

                Spamming floaters, acrobat layups, alley oops, pick and rolls, double move leading to score, flashy passes, taking charges..those are the ones that I know gets you a lot of xp...also deep threes and moving shots gets you a nice amount if enuff is done...

                    I noticed that too. Its one thing if the player is struggling over a period of games or someone has been hot for games. But it seems like every game or so there's a change in lineup

                      I’m not talking about just one player change, im getting my whole lineup changed, from the starting 5 to the bench, it’s a mess

                        I'm guessing you're over 90. I'm not at that point yet since I recently started. But that would be frustrating if you have to constantly change the lineups every game

                            Yeah certain stuff are harder against certain teams, but you just have to find something else to abuse if one thing isn’t working lol.

                            For me personally when I play a team like the spurs, they take away the lob with help side defense and when they do that I just flashy pass to the open corner man..flashy passes gets you a lot of xp. Or if the help side doesn’t come then the lane is open for that floater. You just have to adjust to the situation

                              Without a doubt, and they've also lowered the amount of XP you do for drills

                              When I was grinding for mid-range deadeye, 3 stars got you 1200. Now it's like 940

                              Sure wish they'd patch people not getting VC in playoff games if you simmed your way there..............
