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

Squad feels extra nice now. Balance everywhere and i've got all aspects covered. 3pt shooting, Isolation players, perimeter defense, post defense, post offense, rebounding, playmaking

All i need now is Pip, Mj and Hakeem, and im pretty much set for the rest of 2K17

Card is bonkers.

He's basically just Ruby Kobe with a better jump shot (kind of a big deal), I don't have him, but he doesn't look THAT insane... Ruby Kobe is really good too

I don't know about ruby Kobe but he greens a ton of threes and his moving mid and he can dunk. I think second best offensive card I've used as far as ratings, animations and feel besides maybe Vince?

He looks great don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't play him over D. Thompson or Ruby J-Rich... have you used Ruby J-Rich? He does 360 windmills on the regular and gets about a foot above the rim. I believe he's a great card, but he's likely pretty comparable to J-Rich, Vince and D. Thompson.

I have amethyst Vince and he's about the same but moving mid ranges he doesn't miss and I've rocked with ruby j rich and didn't love him that much honestly. Didn't fit my style. Kobe is moments derozan on steroids. Who was one of my favorite cards. I love moving mids and slashers.

Everyone's different but this Kobe card for my style is fat

I think these special event cards from magic on will be op as hell. Just my guess.

I didn't like J-Rich at first either but once I got used to him he's crazy on offense... he can shoot from anywhere and he's the best dunker I've used. The rest of his game is lackluster but that's enough for a spot on my squad

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

So I was bored and decided to make a lineup of players 6ft 8 and above all with high ball handling and speed with ball, and oh god, is it fun:



The ability to give the ball to ANYONE and they all have great handles and are quick makes an offense feel so much more dynamic; you can swing it to pretty much anyone and create something off the dribble, and outlets after the rebound are so damn fun as no matter who you pass it to they blaze down the court... if I was a cheeser I would just abuse this every play and piss people off, heh.

It's funny because you'd think people would just put in a big C and try to punish you down low, but hardly anyone plays the post in MTO and they always get caught up in the pace of the game trying to match the speed, it's funny. Plus Magic and Jalen Rose both have good post games, so it's easy to punish the other team's PG down low in turn.

I set my defense to "Switch Everything" and there seems to be a lot less players left open as everyone on the team is fast.

Another side benefit is that high ball control across the board seems to result in far less steals or dumb "stumble animation" turnovers, which keeps opponent fastbreaks down too.

Obviously the lineup could be improved by upgrading to ruby or higher versions where applicable (Rose, Walker, USA Draymond etc.), and I'd really love ruby Pippen and Amethyst LeBron, but as is it's been such a refreshing change and just fun to play as, especially considering you get matched up with lower rated teams with this lineup a lot of the time anyway.

Fun stuff

Height is more of a factor than it should be in the game. This includes any position

Tip, play Giannis at 2 and surround him with shooters. Towns or Rookie Webber are fast enough for Center

I've tried running "small" lineups like the Warriors lineup of death for a while. Last year, options like Diamond versions of KAT, Dray, and Millsap made this very nice. I look forward to a very high level Dray.

Last year I used one of the Diamond Oscars at point, Dr J at 2, Kawhi at 3, Millsap, and Dray...or KAT at 5.

But my main point was for defensive switching. Putting a priority on Ballhandling also is interesting. Imagine if all 5 have One Man Fast Break.

Switching All is tricky because it has so far felt that CPU is inconsistent about actually switching. Many times, it seems to want to Hard Hedge. And off ball screens still cause a lot of chaos.

True, I really can't understand why

AI seems to have difficulty even following specific orders

Even when I play "stay attached" the player will still due a hedge and leave the Nowitzkies of this world open for a shot.

Normally when you see this, you would apply the stay attached tactic

At the same time though since your PF will stay to Nowitzki you would need to control your Center to guard the paint.

I am at the point of despair when playing against a systematic pick and popper. The defender will NOT stay attach. If I manually control him, the ball handler has a wide open lane to the basket

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

I feel you. In general, the game needs a lot of work on CPU P&R defense. Maybe the issue is us not realizing how common misreads and forgotten emphases would take place.

But I think it's at least a bit more thsn that. If you tey to Switch All, even if you manual one of the defenders (or maybe especially), there won't be a switch but something else.

Full CPU controllers over both guys defending an off ball screen usually won't switch, even if told to.

It's hard to do in real life and hard to program a game but there's clearly problems.

Just pulled Nash and recently unlocked Bernard King, so this is how my lineup is looking:

Why Kiki at 2? Unless it's necessary to fit your freelance and playbook, I think he's better at 3 in pretty much all ways.

Also, with Nash, I'd consder running Majerle at 2 or 3 along with either Hill or King, for defensive reasons.
