Re: Lineup Roll call...what your squads looking like?!!?!
Just hit the Ruby League and and got hit with a serious reality check. Clearly the difficulty was bumped up since I'm no longer hitting the shots that I used to hit in the earlier leagues.
After sweeping the Sapphire league I'm now 2-1 in the Ruby League. Took an L to some guy in a close game after I had a meltdown in the last minute lol. I wasn't expecting the difficulty bump so I couldn't hit shots and that threw off my entire offense. So I'm doing a little house cleaning and slowly rebuilding my team, position by position. My gold and silver cards are starting to become a liability and it's time for me to round out my team with more Emeralds and Sapphires.
First off I took Rudy Gay out of my lineup. Terrible card. Can't hit a shot and is shooting 31 percent from three. I put Porzingis in that backup 4 spot and put Gobert back at the 5.
Got rid of my Tristan Thompson and upgraded my starting 5 spot to the Emerald Dwight. I'm already seeing the difference.
Next I'm looking to upgrade the backup 2 spot. That Brandon Rush card was amazing in the earlier leagues but now that 3s aren't dropping at the same rate, he's sort of useless now. I'm eyeing that Sapphire Wade card or maybe even the Sapphire JR Smith.
Stephen Curry is probably next to go. I love having Steph Curry on my squad. His card is a game changer but not this nerfed Sapphire crap version lol. I'm going to wait until they release a beastly Amethyst/Diamond version because the Sapphire version is really only good for spot up shooting.
Another killer is that MyCareer MyCareer doesn't give you those free connection cards like last year. Those gold cards really helped me build MyTeam up last year. Sucks. Anyway, I'm probably going to be grinding out some Domination/Challenges and stacking some MT to improve my squad in the meantime.
Theoretically, you will get used to the tighter timing requirement and start hitting again.
But I wonder is Off Consistency matters more as difficulty dials up. That's one thing that lower cards will lack in, comoaratively, even if they have very high shooting ratings.
On the topic of Gay...drew him for a Blacktop game last night. Gave him like 4 wide wide open threes, got near full meter, and he bricked them all. So...F Rudy Gay.
