    For me Wilt is even better than Hakeem. He is without any comparison the best defender center in the game. Attacking wise Hakeem is miles ahead, but attacking with the center is difficult (for me at least)
    Having a duo of these two is the best possible option

      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?
      Upgrading Big O only makes sense when you are a huge Oscar fan. Ruby Harden is probably the best choice, I have Diamond Harden and he is already a scoring monster. Ruby Davis is completely overpriced because his Emerald card has better rebound skill. Ruby Wade costs 20k, idk if the small improvements of the Onyx card are worth the extra costs. Ruby Drexler is a great choice for 100k, but Sapphire Drexler is a lot cheaper and only his defense stats are slightly weaker, so maybe the sapphire card might be the smarter choice. I can't say something about AI. Sapphire Russell is one of the best big man in the game and the Admiral is one of the greatest disappointments in the game. Looking at your lineup I would say go for Russell and Emerald Davis with a bit of luck you still have enough MT left to buy Ruby Harden.

          Agree with most,but I really would want Wilt. Also I think that after patch every team should have at least Sapph Mullin or Ruby Klay. Similar players Sapph Mullin is slightly worst driver but much cheaper.

            Drexler is legitimately one ofy favorite players in this mode. So much fun to play with. And he has like 76 passing, so in my bench lineup last year I used him as a point- forward with great shooters at 1 and 2

                Switch Magic with Payton. Play Russell as PF. Save up some more MT to get saph MJ. Do the Hawks challenge to get saph Wilkins. Buy Ruby Rodman.

                  Thanks for your help!

                  I forgot to mentioned that I already have saph Wilkins. I not very good with him, maybe I'm not using him properly because he turns the ball over a lot. I'll look to adding Rodman as my backup PF for Russell.

                  Also, have you guys tried using Big Game James (Worthy)? He has been nothing shy of that name, thinking about getting his sapphire, any thoughts?

                    Next time record the game. Upload it and let the forum be the judge haha.
                    I had an instance today where the guy went left, i followed and stayed in front of him obviously, i almost made it over the (still moving) pick but then at the last second i touched it and it sucked me in the go over animation sending me in the opposite direction... If you think that's normal, okay.

                    I don't want to get into this too much so for the sake of argument let's say i suck. The point is that the defender shouldn't get sucked into a go over animation that i can't break out of just by barely touching the screener. It's the same problem as that moronic animation (that makes your defender waive his hands while walking about 5 steps forward) that sometimes occurs when you're trying to stay in front of a zigzagger, but at least that one (and the ones like it) rarely occurs. All of it takes control away from the user. And yes, trying to sucker people into those kinds of animations is cheese imo. To me, it's no different than zigzagging. To be clear i have no problem with people who are actually trying to run a pick and roll, i'm talking about the ones that use it just to get you sucked into that animation.

                    I have no idea what blueing is. And yes, sure, i'll go ahead and buy a capture device, make a youtube channel and start editing/converting video because you don't believe me.

                      I don't see this stuff very much, you playing with high defensive assist in the controller settings? You're gonna get caught in a PnR a bunch, just like in real basketball.

                          I am having a lot of fun play with my all-time Spurs line-up and I need suggestions on who to add especially my back up PF and C.

                          Starters
                          PG: Tony Parker
                          SG: Danny Green <-- any other better versions of him other that silver?
                          SF: Kawhi Leonard
                          PF: Onyx Duncan
                          C: Sapphire David

                          Bench
                          PG: Patty Mills
                          SG: Manu <-- I want the onyx version )=
                          SF: George Gervin <-- Again, I want the onyx
                          PF: Boris Diaw
                          C: Tiago Splitter
                          Back ups are Matt Bonner, Sean Elliot and Vinny

                          Here's the problem with Onyx Tim Duncan. He doesn't play like he's one of the greatest PF AT ALL. It doesn't matter when I play with my regular team or Spurs lineup; he averages 2-3 rpg and I always get out rebounded. David has his games.
                          And I know a lot of a big players have played for the Spurs, but I want the ones that have actually contributed something to the Spurs organization.

                            1. If you're on ps4 you can record the game and upload it straight to youtube (or edit it first in the share app). Takes about ten minutes at the most depending on your Internet connection.

                            2. Blueing is also known as icing. Have you heard of that? If not I suggest you look it up, it will seriously help you out if you change your defensive settings. And since you don't know what that is I'm going to assume there's other stuff about the game you don't know. So some other tips include; go under the pick if it isn't a good shooter OR change the settings to switch with whoever he's running pick and roll with the most and the players will switch who they're guarding (the screener/roll mans defender will guard the ball handler and the ball handlers defender will guard the roll man/screener). But seriously look up icing and then use the settings in the game to select ice the PnR.

                            3. I've never personally encountered the animation you speak of, I can't think of a time I've ever been trapped in a PnR.

                              1. Didn't know that, i thought it was only short clips when i press the share button.

                              2. Icing is great irl because it uses the baseline as a 3rd defender but i can't imagine that working out well in 2k where the baseline is used as a force field that keeps players in bounds. I might try it but why would i want to force ball handler to the baseline? That's where they're aiming to go anyway for their reverse baseline dunks and/or free throws. I tried going under as well as using the switch setting, those didn't really work for me. I'll just stick with controlling the screener's defender, that works for the most part. It just sucks that i'm forced to play off ball defense in that situation.

                              3. If i feel like it i'll look at some youtube videos tonight to see if i can find it. If not i might record it myself. Or if somebody that reads this recognizes what i'm talking about (a go over animation that you get sucked into when touching the screener) please feel free to acknowledge that it exists. This is probably only a problem for on ball defenders though and i realize that we're a minority.


                              @QNo: i usually put it at 25, maybe i should just go for 0?

                                i started MyTeam 1 month ago ( used to play MyLeague ), after completing domination i started playing RTTP, now i just won Saphir Paul George in RTTP and i wondering how i can upgrade my team ?
                                for the moment my team is :
                                Saphir John Wall
                                Ruby Klay Thompson
                                Saphir Paul George
                                Ruby LaMarcus Aldridge
                                Ruby DeMarcus Cousins

                                i think my team is pretty good but with Emerald Klay and Gold Paul George sell i will have maybe 30 000 MT, what can i do now ?
                                i take any advice !!
