    Ruby Stephen Curry
    Sapphire Oscar Robertson

    Who do you think I should use? Should I buy someone different?

    I was thinking maybe the 70-71 Jerry West? Or Onyx Stockton? Has anyone used either of these guys?

    I feel like animations mean more than stats.
    Badge up a KJ, he is a great backup for Lillard or get Ruby Payton. West 70 is too slow, 64 West is faster but he can't dunk same with Stockton. Onyx Stockton is still a bit pricey, better complete the Dimers collection for Sapphire Stockton or go for the Ruby.

      I agree.

      Currently I don't have much problem from behind the arc thanks to PG13 especially. I am very comfortable with his release and it feels like he shoots better than his 3pt rating suggests.

      But I don't think Clyde will be as good as PG13 shooting wise, so I will probably start Diamond KD (instead of Lebron) when I'll have them both. And my second unit could use Lebron's defensive abilities, too.

      Thanks for your insight, QNo!

        Is Onyx Rose worth all the MT?

        I sold all the players I barely use and had to sell my backup shooting specialist Onyx Richmond to reach 385k. That leaves me with no MT fexibility to improve my team and/or try new players.

        Sapphire Oscar / Sapphire Wall
        Sapphire Erving / Sapphire George
        Diamond Durant / Gold LBJ
        Ruby Aldridge / Sapphire Hakeem
        Ruby Mutombo / Sapphire Ming

        I'm very satisfied with my lineup (need Onyx Richmond back and bench PG) but I want something new/better at the 1. I used to like Oscar and I still do, but I think he is too slow at times. Wall on the other hand is a lot faster and more athletic but doesn't really stand out in other things like defence/shooting/finishing layups.

        So I thought about Rose to finish my team but I'm starting to doubt for the reasons mentioned above.

        I tried Onyx Kidd and he was great, but couldn't get his release down. Like not at all. Liked Onyx Nash too but had troubles with defense.

        Any other suggestions? Quickness/defense and either slashing or shooting. What about Onyx Paul? Anyone used him? Some crazy offensive pointguards with ok defence I should consider?

          Onyx Oscar is much faster than the Sapphire, you'll notice it immediately. Young gold Magic is great defensively and at attacking the rim, he should fit in well since you've surrounded him with shooters. Ruby Payton would fit your needs as well, solid shooter and great defender.

          I wouldn't got for any of the small PGs like CP3, most guys use big PGs/SFs online, putting you at a disadvantage.

            I beat seeds 4 to 1 on my first try, i have all gold bum players too, I guess i got lucky and ran into player that have full oynx, ruby lineups and they didnt know how to use their team, its all one man show (Jordan/Bird/James/Onyx Kobe) and im here scratching my head like, how come these dudes havent won 1st seed yet with the lineups they have.

            after beating 1st seed, it gets really boring after that, you dont have much to do, since theres no leaderboards to play for... But im still playing myteam just to knock people out of their seeds lol. I had one dude telling me that I had nothing to play for so let him win, it was his last chance to get Westbrook... I felt bad and let him come back from 15 down in the 4th quarter.

            My 1st seed Lineups
            Sapp Curry
            Sapp George
            Gold Leonard
            Gold Love
            Gold Anthony Davis

            My lineup now
            Gold Payton/Sapp Westbrook
            Sapp George/Sapp Curry
            Onyx Artest/Sapp DeRozan
            Gold Love/Gold Bosh
            Sapp Yao/Ruby Morning

            Before I built this team, I told myself that I would not have a player higher than a 95, I sold James and KD when I pulled them in domination mode, its more fun for me that way, I guess it's my way of fun.

            My team name is DONTNEEDJAMES, has anyone played me?

              Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

              Here is my starting lineup:

              PG: Gold Curry
              SG: Gold Durant
              SF: PD Melo
              PF: PD Bird
              C: Ruby 'Zo

              Bench:
              Gold Lebron/Sapphire 'Nique/Ruby KG/Gold Penny/Gold Kobe/Sapphire Wall/Gold Ant Davis/Gold Eddie Jones

              The last game I played, I faced a lineup of Onyx TMac/PD MJ/Onyx Dr J/Onyx KG/Onyx Wilt, with Onyx Lebron, Onyx Wade, Sapphire Yao, Onyx Pistol Pete, Ruby Harden, and PD Melo on the bench. I beat the guy by 15, and it wasn't really even that close. He kept trying to double team all game, which left me wide open shots all game long.

              If I had a team like that, I have full confidence that I would easily win the 1 seed. It cracks me up that the guys with the best cards in the game cannot play.

                Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

                Lol man, you have a team to crash Seed 1.
                I have won it with Kobe/Mullin/LBJ/KD/Wilt so no need to go telling how bad is another player when you have two PD. This is a line-up help thread and not a bragging thread.

                MOST IMPORTANT:
                This is just a game. There is nothing wrong to be bad at it, unless you cheat your way to improve your chances. There are people who play this game who are either too young, or they are too old with families, jobs etc and they play this game like once in a while to relax from daily stress.

                  Crappiest lineup ever @ seed 2. Got no will to play market or farm vc to get elite lineup. Wasted ~200k collected vc from mypark/rec modes got absolutely nothing valuable and broke atm.

                  Using Rondo for fun, kinda building team around him since beginning. At least he is really good at defending Curry with his speed and wingspan.

                    You should use Sapph Wall, at least as back-up

                      Used to Deron too much, his playstyle is nice contrast from Rondo.

                      Just recently started to use James Harden, hes nuts with shooting of dribble, can only imagine devastation of ruby one.

                        Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

                        This has been (pretty much) my lineup for a couple of weeks now.
                        Spoiler

                        Pretty traditional, jared and vince are a blast on the break. PG13 does it all, love is the best stretch 4 imo and whiteside is still new but he's doing alright so far. Although i'll probably replace him with a low post threat eventually to practice the post game, i'm not very good at it. I was thinking ruby cousins, any other suggestions for around 10k or less?


                        Now, today i felt like like doing something different and since i've gotten to the point that i don't really care about realism anymore i created this "team jimmer" and it's been wonderful.
                        Spoiler

                        The idea is obvious: chuck away with jimmer and surround him with players that hustle, defend and rebound. Unfortunately jimmer is of course pretty easy to defend and he's only had one 20 point game so far (in five games) but luckily the rest of the team stepped up when needed so it didn't really matter. I'm loving the defense, those 4 guys are all over the place getting deflections, boards and of course marion and kemp are great on the break. Marion has an easy release as well.

                        I'm thinking about getting gold elgin baylor to replace rodman (he's too slow to stay with lebron/melo/etc, so i'll put kemp at pf and elgin at sf). Anybody tried him yet? Does he catch oops? (only 65 tendency) Does he get to the line? (only 67 draw foul tendency) And probably most important, how's his release? Thanks for any help.

                          Ruby Zo/Onyx JO. All 3 are good choices.

                            Man I wish I could get at least one of these PD players from Locker Codes...I'm either not fast enough on the old codes before they did the random letter or I can never guess the letter correctly. I made a ton of progress in MyTeam last night.

                            My lineup is:

                            PG: Ruby Magic Johnson
                            SG: Onyx Pistol Pete
                            SF: Sapphire Dr. J
                            PF: Gold Lebron with ~25 Gold badges
                            C: Ruby Mutombo

                            Bench-

                            PG: Gold Kyrie
                            SG: Ruby Dominique (Still have to complete the challenge for Sapphire Nique so I can sell this one)
                            SF: Gold Paul George (love this dude)
                            PF: Ruby Larry Nance (Just playing Domination right now, will definitely change this up once I get into RTTP unrestricted seeds)
                            C: Ruby Darryl Dawkins

                            Really glad I decided to get into this mode, there are a ton of improvements I'd like made next year but it's a blast to play and the feeling of getting a card you really want is awesome IMO. Great discussion in here guys!

                              You make a great point, also to further it even more, just like with any game there are different types of players at all different levels.

                              Some people KNOW basketball in and out and practice plays, play styles, etc. Some people just play casually and want to run and gun with the best cards, some people will do anything to win even if they resort to cheap tactics, etc...you'll see all different kinds of players. (I know this won't happen but for next year I would really like it if RTTP was set on HOF Sim difficulty to make it tougher for both players.)
