    Re: MyTeam 2k17 line-up suggestions/ advice thread

    I have played just one game with him, but my opponent was kind of weak.

    He did a double double and in rebounds he was pretty good.

    In offense he looked a bit slow to dive after roll and short and he was quite easily blocked.

    I will test him in some more games and find out and will report findings

      Antonio is my starting center, I have him fully badged out. I like him a lot, he's really strong and solid on both ends of the floor. His height and lack of 3 point range are his only real draw backs.

        After testing Antonio in 3 games I decided to sell him.

        He is a good rebounder and strong defender, but his height reduces his skills in shot contest and block

        in offense I would expect him to be dominant as the roller but he rolls very slowly for me, and his height again makes it easy to get blocked

        All and all, since I run already smallball with KD at PF so it is a bit too much.

        I enjoy much more Towns in the role

        It is a shame because I loved him when I was a kid when he was playing at Panathinaikos. I remember that when shooting FT he was not in straight line with the basket but he was shooting from the side

        By the way this is not depicted inthe game (I don't know if he did it in the NBA too) but his FT % is fantastic

          I much prefer playing Antonio Davis at the 4. His height is a non issue against most other power forwards. Also as a Raptor I recall him as a Pf, with either Kevin Willis, Charles Oakley, or Keon Clarke at the 5. I don't remember him ever playing C, but I may be wrong, it was a long time ago.

            I decided to get a little creative with my line up and the results have been money.

            First Unit - motion cuts - pace - push the pace

            Kyle Lowry/Steve Francis/Demar Derozan/Josh Smith/Chris Bosh

            Second Unit - 3 out 2 in - scoring actions

            John Wall/David Thompson/Lou Hudson/Kevin Willis/Demarcus Cousins

            Reserves

            Steph Curry/Klay Thompson/Antonio Davis

            I'm really liking the chemistry this team has, the Dynamic Duos really do add significant value. The first unit terrorizes defenses and comes up with a lot of steals defensively. The second unit is just all around solid offensively and defensively and steph and thompson do what they do when I need them too. Antonio can cover the 4 or the 5 so he's making a great 13th man

              I'm waiting on some sales to grab Amare, I've been thinking about testing out a lob city line-up and with Amare I should have the personnel to do it.

              Ray-Richardson/Kobe/Marion/Larry Johnson/Amare

              Any suggestions on a freelance style for this?

                I believe Amare is bad for Center
                77 Low post D
                70 Block
                73 shot contest
                77 D rebound

                And all these at this price?

                  I also don't love Amare at C, and your shooting won't be that great, either.

                    Re: MyTeam 2k17 line-up suggestions/ advice thread

                    My team is very "meh" right now and I'm wondering if I should try to pick up some new players or keep grinding domination and wait it out. I am currently half way through regular domination. I lost to the grizzlies on a last second turnaround by gasol, but other that that it's been pretty smooth sailing. I currently am playing with:

                    Robert Pack/Jay Williams
                    Dan Majerle/Kyrie Irving/Brad Beal
                    Paul George/Robert Horry/Rodney Hood
                    Draymond Green/Marvin Williams
                    Al Horford/Gortat/Kyle O'Quinn

                    My lineup is definitely backcourt heavy and I could use some help up front. Do you guys think I should try to pick up some people through the auction house now or wait till I'm really stuck in domination? I currently have around 30,000 MT. Horford has been solid for me, but I was thinking of trying to go after Cousins. Of course if I did that I should probably pick up Wall too for the DD boost. Any other suggestions on who you guys would go after in my situation?

                      I got Emereld KAT as a regular domination reward and he's been my starting C all the way through Historic. Equip him with rim protector and he's a solid mobile help defender. Can pnr, pick n pop, can hit a 3 if he's open. Also can play the 4 against bigger domination lineups that are common for historic teams. You should be able to finish regular dom with your current lineup, I would get through that first and see who you pull before spending any MT at the AH unless you're really stuck on a team.

                        His block is 80 with Marion duo... 86 speed 99 vertical 99 driving dunk 80 contact dunk 92 offensive consistency... I don't want him for his D but with Rim Protector he should be passable

                        I didn't take Wallace and there are no other good up tempo 5's. Bill Walton and Antonio Davis are slowing the squad down!

                              A good freelance for oops is the Princeton. They'll be opportunities for lobs from the back door cuts.

                                AD and DeAndre should both be better Cs. It's the one position on basketball where defense is clearly more important than offense.
