Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

What are the best collections to do where you can sell back the players after completion? Was thinking about going for diamond KD, sapphire malone, sapphire oscar, or one of the sapphire centers. If you've done any of these, around how much did they cost after tax?

Diamond KD, Sapphire Oscar/Mullin/Wilt/Hakeem/DeAndre/DeRozan/MJ are the best ones. What they cost depends on your platform, should be around tax unless you're very patient.

Im thinking about making an all time Warriors team. I need reviews on Wilt? Anyone used him?

And how is the new Richmond card compared to the gold?

I know those are Lakers Wilt and Sac Richmond but I don't care. As long as they were Warriors at some point.

Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

Im looking to switch up my PG position since CP3 hasn't been doing it for me. I hate the fact that he gets blocked almost every time he drives to the basket because of his height.

I'm Currently looking at either Ruby Oscar or Ruby Magic.
I can see they have almost the same strengths and weaknesses.
Who would you choose?

Dont get Ruby Oscar, he has the same stats as the sapphire which you can basically get for free if you sell the collection back.

Stop taking it all the way to the cup and use the pull-up, absolute murder.

Since you seem to be done with RTTP like me, sell Dr. J, Ruby Harden and Oscar and get Onxy Rose and Onyx TMac.

I'm considering selling my Ruby MJ for one of those two. I wanted Dr. J really bad too but not really worth it considering Sapphire Wilkens is almost just as good.

I just got dr j for 500k he's amazing

Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

There is no equalizer. It is very bad however that seed 5 can be matched up with seed 1 etc. You notice no difference in opossition strength in differend seeds. All games for me seem to have same difficulty, no matter if I player in 4th seed or 2nd. By the way you are a bad loser yourself...
Also baseline dunking with Sapph PG13 and Sapph John Wall is still cheese. Plus flopping all the time and winning 5 charges in a mode with input lag. So by no means you are entitled to call people cheesers

Spoiler

Wow, i didn't see this part last time, i guess that's the edit. Now you're just making stuff up. In all my rttp games i've done exactly ONE reverse baseline dunk and that was by accident. Maybe it was during our game but please don't act like i do that all the time. And if it's about regular baseline dunks, well i don't know what to say, if i see an opening i take it just like i'll take an open shot if i get it.

As for the charges. You went full turbo to the basket all game long, getting all sorts of bs contact layups and free throws... What do you expect me to do? Clear the way? Actually as i recall i cleared the way more times than i care to admit because of all the ridiculous lag abusing movements you were doing, most of the time in combination with a pick to get me sucked in that ridiculous go-over animation that's near impossible to stop. But i'm sure you think that's just excellent offense...

Now excuse me while i go look for the ignore button. (edit: found it so no need to bother replying) After reading that i won't ever again believe anything you post anyway. Have a nice day.

Anyway, back on topic. I was able to beat the 1st seed (10-2, so just barely) with my normal lineup AND a bunch of things from my collection sold so i finally had enough mt (250k) for onyx vince. So now the time has come for me to join the dark side (well maybe not the dark side, i still won't be using any off ball d, baseline, pick cheese or zigzag among other things) with my very own superteam :

pg: ruby magic - sapphire steph curry (haven't tried sapphire westbrook yet)
sg: onyx vince - sapphire dominique
sf: sapphire pg13 - gold melo
pf: onyx marion - gold mcginnis
c : sapphire brook - sapphire hibbert

Played some games with it and i'm not going to lie, it actually was a lot of fun. Throwing oops on the break to vince/nique/george/marion, eurostep or floater with magic or kicking back out to steph who barely ever misses when he's open. Even a poster dunk, instead of a turnover, once in while when the defense is late on the help.

I've also made one more lineup to switch it up from time to time, basically it has 12 bronze guys and 1 superstar. And of course i'll still use my normal lineup as well. For now it's payback time though, for all the superteam bs i had to endure while using a somewhat realistic lineup.

Summarizing:
a) you call players cheesers yet you call for charges all the time and you do baseline dunks (you didn't deny)
b) you call people bad losers but you lost a game where you were 14 points up because of 7/8 3 pointers in first half and you sent a rant message and very insulting. (you didn't deny and how could you since you know such message exists)
c) you call pick and rolls and lay ups cheese now ? What is next? am I allowed to shoot by any way?
d) I really don't understand what is a lag abusing movement, if there is one thing that is lag abusing is the charge.

Believe or not, we played and you lost fairly, you rant and insult in a message even if you admitted doing things that YOU call "cheese". So calling others bad losers and cheesers can only be named as hypocrisy. Please be careful because "scripta manent" and you do not want me to post our dialogue.
I wouldn't have said anything but you came to this thread, calling an opponent you played a bad loser, and that he was ranting and you acted cool and stuff.This hypocrisy was just over the top

Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

Everyone seems to think anything they struggle to defend is Cheese. "Dat pick and roll cheese tho"... maybe you're just not good at defending the pick and roll? Did you even try blueing?

Next time record the game. Upload it and let the forum be the judge haha.

Pick and roll is fundamental basketball and very easy to defend by switching defenders or going behind the screener. Now how can anyone calls pick and rolls cheese and even Free throws (!!!!????), is something that I can not comprehend. As I have expained again if something is IN the game, a player can use it, even if it is LBJ at PG or anything. Nothing wrong with that. It is 2k who messed up so I can not accuse a guy that tries to win. I am asking for 2k to fix. What I just hate is white away jerseys (and vice versa) MT farming by multiaccounts. For all other flaws I blame only 2k and not any user. I may not enjoy all these issues but if they are in the game someone can use.
There is no reason to record the game.The whole discussion was not about the game. My initial objection was for the fact that he came to the thread and started speaking about his greatness and high "class" over a person ranting about a loss. It was just comical.

Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

Thats my line-up right now:

PG Diamond Lillard / Sapph. Oscar / Sapph. Westbrook
SG Sapph. PG13 / Sapph. MJ / Sapph. Maravich
SF Diamond KD / Sapphire Wilkins
PF Pink Diamond Bird / Blake Griffin
C Sapph. Hakeem / Sapph. DJ

Once everything sold Im gonna have around 300-350k to improve my team. Thinking about Onyx Oscar, Ruby Harden, Ruby Davis, Onyx Wade, Ruby Drexler, Gold Iverson and Sapph. Russell and the Admiral, whats your experience with those guys?

Onyx Oscar is amazing. I've heard great things about Harden, Davis & Russell. Wade & AI are overpriced for what they are and I'd suggest Wilt instead of the Admiral. No idea about Drexler, he seems quite similar to young MJ.
