Lineup Roll call...what your squads looking like?!!?!

Re: Lineup Roll call...what your squads looking like?!!?!

man stop. this is the one community where guys consistently give 2K the benefit of the doubt. just stop. we know the damn difference b/w runs and a consistent performance, stretched out over a few games. if a guy goes on ONE 7-0 run. fine. IF A GUY CANT MISS ALL GAME AND IS TURBOING THROWING UP 3s WITH WHOMEVER JUST BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GET A SHOT UP THATS DIFFERENT.



its simply more apparent than ever before this year. second i got Ewing, the **** got worse. smh.

It's really not. But I'm sorry it is for you. I get a lot more blow outs than previous years that people can't come back from. 14 and 16 were both awful for it but this year I see blowouts that stick. If you're not making open shots that's something that happens in basketball as well; it's alleviated by driving inside and getting fouls. Slow down and get something light after a timeout. Have a go to play.

I don't believe in an "equalizer" either, or predetermination of winners (or favorable advantage). But try to remind myself that others do, vehemently.

The developers have been clear on the subject, but many people still draw different conclusions from their personal experience.

Seems counterintuitive, since people won't keep spending money to get high OVR cards if they don't see results, but that's one of many reasons that some people don't find compelling.

as I said earlier, only the the guys with stacked diamond lineups will make these certain experiences in MTO. it's a matter of fact that all the guys in here who play the AH well and run crazy lineups say the same thing, this is just undeniable. I can only recall my experience: I have awesome games against same tier opponents with similar squad OVR...on the other hand it's terrible to play against low tier opponents with emerald squad. this is not just one game, it's constantly happening man. I feel like it's almost impossible to win against the emerald tier with emerald squad because the sliders are so beneficial for the opponent... and I know I'm not paranoid if so many people with similar lineups recall these situations.

my winning percentage is like 90% with an 85 OVR vs 40% with a 99 OVR, I have played over 300 games. We aren't just making this stuff up

And people who don't experience "the equalizer" aren't just making things up, either.

I'm not saying you're fantasizing or whether you're right or wrong. What I'm saying is that it's pointless for us players to argue amongst ourselves about it at this point.

I would just prefer that the topic of game scripting not get brought up over and over in many different threads. It has gotten repetitive.

Did some wheeling and dealing because I couldn't get past game 32 of 33 (Western stars) in Historic Domination..

I also have a

Mark Aguirre sapphire (84)
Manute Bol emerald (83)
Jay Williams emerald (82)
Andre Drummond emerald (80)

in reserve.. I'm sort of a noob at this.. My team still has a ton of holes but Magic, Stackhouse, and Hakeem are decent building blocks (I think).. My old squad wasn't getting it done. I'm 10-8 and currently in Emerald league also.. Any tips, I'll take them.. What does this team need?

^I'd suggest another PG for your bench

I said the same thing last year, but I am pretty sure while 2K didn't "program in" an equaliser, there are enough co-existing systems that combine to make for unrealistic comebacks such as all the mental badges that increase stats/shooting when down by X points or in the 4th quarter, etc.

Add in the fact that this year the higher leagues are on All Star difficulty instead of Superstar (lowest seeds are on Pro which is where you see some truly ridiculous crap happening), and you get some unrealistic fading/contested shots going in out of desperation when people turbo up the court and jack 3's.

MTO really should START on Superstar difficulty and graduate to Hall of Fame in the higher seeds, if anything.

I think, to be realistic, that would be a very big issue for a lot of players.

I don't really care, but a lot of these complaints could get swept aside if 2K just allowed us to set parameters like Difficulty for friendlies. I don't understand why they don't allow us to make that choice.

The last 3 leagues are on SS, you get a 1.5 difficulty multiplier. I agree that the lower leagues should be played on higher difficulty setting. It should be a fixed setting throughout. I'll prefer HOF setting personally but I won't mind SS.

The score of the game should have no effect on whether or not the ball goes in the basket when it's supposed to. Unfortunately right now that is not the case. Every game doesn't need to be a nail biter! Unless one user has a big time skill advantage the game will find a way to keep it close.

Some ppl are better with particular players regardless of ovr. For me Klay out shoots just about everybody I used (ruby Peja, ruby Marley, Kiki, ruby RIP).

You're probably better with the guys on your 85 ovr team than the ones on your 99.

I'm running a 98 ovr squad and I'm not experiencing anything out of the norm when I run against a emerald squad.

Finally got Zo; I wanted to hold off for Sabonis, but he is my fave player of all time and I was lacking a good C. The fact you inherit Shaq in the package is a nice bonus.

Zo is amazing so far, love that they made him better than last year as he is faster and has a better FT rating, plus his post fade is significantly higher; he basically has no weaknesses.



And I don't care how many Amethyst or Diamond players I get, that Sam Perkins card will NEVER leave my lineup... my favourite release in the game the past 3 years and absolute MONEY from 3 point range while also a good rebounder and paint scorer. My lowkey favourite player in all of 2K, lol.
