    yo mate I just had yao as opponent and put mutombo in the starting line-up...well what shall I say...he didnt got one rebound against that china man

    I performed better in the second half with Hakeem and almost won the game. I dont know what i'm doing wrong but I somehow can't handle mutombo

      Rebounds are a bit random, some games your C will get none, other games he will get lots. Make sure you switch on the big as soon as a shot is up and rebound manually, that helps. I really like Mutombo as a Yao-counter because he can easily contest or even block Yao's post-fades and he's quick enough to PnR Yao to death on the offensive end. It's a mismatch in your favour.

        Here's the lineup that I finished RTTP with.

        Endless possibilities. Small, Big, defense, 5 shooters, quick lineups, two pg's etc...

        Love moving Magic around against Lebron/Durant abusers

          Like he said. Rebounding manually is huge. The computer is a step slow against users. You can beat Yao to rebounds often if you switch to rebounder after a shot goes up.

            I just picked up some guys i've been meaning to give another chance (bob dandridge) or try out (bob mcadoo, eddie jones, paul pressey). Mcadoo, on paper, seems to be almost the perfect pf for me. Quick enough to guard sf's, just about big enough to guard most centers, good defensive and rebounding stats, mid range jumper and a bunch of useful badges. Not to mention 90+ dunk, 99 contest shot and 99 draw foul tendencies. I hope he works out, i had similar hopes for dave cowens and he was utterly atrocious for me.


            Glad you're enjoying him.

            What's Martin like? I need another shooter off my bench to pair up with Klay on the wing.

              Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

              In short,

              positives:
              - best spot up shooter i've tried, quick/easy release and i think he has deadeye. Catch and shoot mid/long 2's and 3's are almost automatic if he has a little space. Maybe his release just works for me.
              - he's always hanging out on the perimeter. I don't know if that's because of tendencies or what but i've had shooters before who'd cut to the basket when i didn't want them to. Martin generally stays put which is a huge plus.
              - posterizer, he's not a great dunker by any stretch and you definitely shouldn't force it but when he has a lane he will usually make the dunk, even with slight contact from a defender. He has mostly quick dunk animations as well which probably helps. You should be able to throw lobs to him as well (75 oop tendency) but i couldn't tell you since i haven't tried it yet.
              - very consistent. Out of 15-20 or so games he had 1 bad game for where he shot 3-15 iirc which was completely my fault. Other than that it's been 7-8, 10-10, 7-9, etc. Always at least 75%, usually more.

              neutral:
              - good enough defensively (on ball, user) as long as it's not lebron/jordan or someone like that. He has pick dodger which helps a bit as well.
              - passing, ball handling are alright. He can push the ball on the break and throw a lob to david which is all i really need from him in that department.

              negatives: (other than the obvious like he can't attack the basket, post up, etc like mj)
              - his release is low. Basically, if you try to go for spin/stepback/(leaning?) jumpers against any decent defender you will get blocked. Which is unfortunate since you can't fully enjoy his 87 moving mid that way but it is what it is.

              Guess it wasn't so short after all, oh well

                Just got Onyx Amar'e with 5 gold badges for 17K. Have already had games of 28, 22 (X2), and 19 points. I must say he's got deceptive speed for a big that 2K robbed his ratings (speed/quickness should be in the 80's).

                Who would you guys prefer: him or Ruby Dirk?

                  Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

                  Ok so I just completed all of the collections I wanted to and got all the rewards I wanted to including diamond shaq. I sold back most of the cards it took to get this collection.

                  Got about 900k MT left and I want to pick up some beast onyx players, debating between onyx kobe, lebron, tmac and vince carter.

                  My LU is as follows:

                  PD Curry
                  Diamond Harden
                  Ruby Melo
                  Diamond Durant
                  Yao

                  bench:
                  Diamond Iverson
                  Sapphire Dr. J
                  PD Iggy
                  Sapphire Hakeen
                  Diamond Shaq
                  Sapphire Russel
                  Sapphire Wilt
                  Sapphire MJ

                  Based on my LU i think swapping in onyx kobe at SG and onyx lebron at PF and moving the starters to the bench makes the most sense. Thoughts?

                    I didn't tested Tmac. Onyx Kobe is great, but his jumpshot is weird. So maybe you are better off with his Ruby Scorer card, Ruby Frobe is better than Onyx Vince and one of the best Scorer in the game. LBJ is awesome better than the gold and a good buy when you have the MTs. I would buy '89 Jordan he is real cheap ATM for 150-200k and the best all-around non PD Jordan in the game, way way better than the Sapphire. Maybe you should also get at least one real PF for your Lineup Onyx Dirk, Ruby Malone or Onyx Duncan are great buys for 40-70k.

                      Is Onyx Kobe's jump shot different than the Gold Kobe?

                        I never really used the gold one. The Onyx just has no reliable jumpshot for me. His release is very early, sometimes I manage to get some good results but most of the time I am happy with 50% made jumpshots. Compared to the other top noch SGs his jumpshot is just poor. His dunks, layups and defense are excellent and he is a great teamplayer, so IMO he is overall the best Kobe ingame. But as pure scorer I get better results out of Ruby Frobe.

                            I think the best lineup you can currently make is Diamond Lillard/Iggy/Dr J/KD/Hakeem. If that isn't the 99 OVR Hakeem, get him first. I would then move Iggy to the bench and Dr J to the 2 and get Onyx LBJ. With the MT you've got left I'd get an elite PG (Oscar/Magic/Kidd). Then do whatever you want with the MT you've got left, your team is all set.

                              Just got Ruby Kyrie Irving for only 30K....





                              .... sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiped!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy. ALMOST bought Onyx Pierce ('06) or Onyx Billups but somebody bought my Onyx D-Will at the last second. Also allowed me to keep Onyx Artest so I have $$ in the bank.


                              Kyrie and Lillard have been the two pgs that have given me the most trouble all year long. Feels good to finally have one of their updated cards.

                                Finally picked up an Xbox One Monday along with 2k.

                                As of today between the auction house and domination packs through Brooklyn this is how my lineup is

                                PG: Kyrie/Lawson/Williams/McCallum
                                SG: Kobe/Burks
                                SF: Melo/Iggy/Green

                                C: Noel

                                I have Monroe who I'll stick back in the lineup once his leg injury heals. Good god are those OP.
