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

    Finished up MTO as well with this lineup. I faced some serious competition and extreme cheese in my last D and PD leagues.

    I'm glad I moved Magic to the 2nd unit, he comes in and slows down the game. Also, my backcourt of West and Kidd worked better than it looks. But alas Porzingis was the real star by just taking over games.

      a) he is too expensive
      b) sentimentaly Larry won me PD, I don't want to make him a sub all of a sudden.

      c) and most importantly, Diamond Porzingis card is what I hate most about MyTeam every year. It is n fully fantasy card, with 90 3 and 80 speed at 7'3" not based in ANY specific game or performance

      I won PD Duncan fair and square with a medium budget team, without various cheesing stuff like deny all/Bol&Yao's/ 5-out and manual cuts/spamming steal buttons/ turbo inbound

      Diamond KP is a cheeser's paradise. Buying him, will give credit to 2k for releasing cards like this. I would be a fool to believe that it will stop because of me, but at least I will feel ok with myself.
      I don't want to judge anyone who bought or will buy him. He is the most OP player of the game and since I have the MT I might had got him in my quest to PD Duncan. But now, the pressure is off I will keep them for a real legend
      Agree, KP is just too cheesy which is why I won't get him. Even if I pulled him in packs I would've sold him.

      The discrepancy between KP in real life to this card is ridiculous.

        Agree on this! As good as he is in the game, he feels extra cheesy because I don't consider him at an elite level irl. Not to say he isn't a good player, I just think that he still has a lont way to go. Now if I were to get slaughtered in MTO by like... a Diamond Bird, Jordan or Olajuwon, then I would find that perfectly acceptable as I consider them true legends of the game.

            Finished Historic last night. Boy, those last three games really get cheesy, don't they? Magic Johnson with Gold Bruiser got me through those games. I just backed down the opposing PG and drained their energy and then either hit them with a post hook or spun off of them. There's something satisfying about seeing that Gatorade icon appear on the PG well before anyone else has it.

            All along, I assumed I would take Parker because I love his floater game, but ended up taking Goodrich because he's one of the best pure shooters in the game. And since I already had Hill and King, Thompson wasn't even a consideration.

            Here's my lineup as it stands. I'm two cards away from Worthy, so I should have him by the weekend. He'll be my starting SF, so everything between now and then will be to see which of Grant Hill, Bernard King or Jimmy Butler gets sent packing. And I'm less than 120 cards away from PD West now, so I should have him in a couple weeks.

              Just changed my squad. Got rid of Amy Kawhi and replaced him with Ruby Giannis and the change was instant. He impacts the game wayyyyy more than Kawhi ever did for me.

              Also I was late to the Yao party but I finally bought him and oh my god hes without a doubt the best player on my team. I had the standard Yao then sold him and replaced him with a 15 gold badge Yao. Blocks everything, dunks everything, hits the middy. Ive had several games where he gets 6-7 blocks by half time .Hes so dominant and the drop off when he comes out was so noticeable I went and signed Muresan who I have yet to play with but 99 shot contest and 99 block shot at 7 foot 7 was a no brainer. He should fill in really well for Yao. Also might get the Emrald Manute Bol just because.

              But now Im stuck with a logjam at C-F. Hard to get all these guys minutes and I just added Muresan.

              Anyway heres my team:

                I havent finished domination yet only like 7 teams left then I have historic and I only been playing for like a month but cant pull any diamonds at all.

                Very good team man. And I honestly think I invented the bruiser on PGs back on like 2k13 or 14. Used to badge all my PGs with it and then play smother the other PG such a great strategy. lol.

Willis has been a bit meh for me lately, feels like I've been underutilizing him. I packed another klay and am giving him a chance at redemption, so far he has been shooting well.
                  How do you liek the Amy Kawhi. Man he was horrible for me. Just didnt feel his impact on the game. Offensively or defensively.

                    Nice lineup! I love that Conley. Practice his floater and then run the pick and roll with Davis and you'll feast. It's literally unstoppable.

                      Just save up and get a Diamond Jimmy Butler. He's dirt cheap, and he's a stud at both ends of the floor. People kind of look down on him because he's not popular in real life and he's so cheap (like Conley in both regards), but he's amazing in this game.

                      The Bruiser thing makes a huge difference. I try to add it to all my players. That, and Gold Brick Wall. It's amazing how many open shots you get from back screens and off ball screens in freelances when even your guards have Brick Wall. And it's very satisfying to hear that "UUUGGGHHHH!!!" when your tiny PG pancakes someone on a screen.

                        You are spot on about Conley. Good call on the floater Im going to practice it havent shot one floater with him yet lol.

                        He almost has no weakness. Very good PG and Ive yet to come across a PG that can start over him for me. Hes much better than my Gary Payton.

                            Im just recently over the past 4 games or so figuring out how to use the ruby Butler and I had him for like 20 plus games lol. But man hes solid he really grew on me Id love to make a run at the diamond Butler and just set it and forget it.

                            Im sitting at 43k MT right now. Just recently spent 30k on a fully gold badged Ruby Giannis and 12k on Muresan. Somebody sniped a 5k buy now Muresan literally a second before I could buy it.

                            I used to badge all my bigs with the brick wall but damn on everyone is just creative as hell. One of the reasons I love this mode. Thats a damn good strategy. I just checked PS4 auction house and the cheapest buy now Diamond Butler is 39k.

                            Edit: Theres a 19 gold badge Diamond Jimmy for 57k jesus christ I want that card.

                              Have you tried replacing Payton with Fat Lever? Lever is also cheap, plays great defense and can shoot.

                                Be a little patient. New theme packs come out today, and that usually floods the market. Moments cards tend to go down when that happens.
