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

    After getting PD West, I started selling off and picked up the last card I needed to finish the set for Worthy. My word, this card is amazing! He's a SF/PF tweener, but I think I'm going to run him at SF because otherwise that makes Robinson my backup C, and I prefer him at PF. Worthy's release is super easy and very high, so I don't foresee it being blocked much. He moves with a lot more agility than I expected. His post move animations might be my favorite in the game. I cannot wait to use him to dominate fools.

    I just got an Elgato and shot some footage the last couple days, so I should have some Youtube videos up this week. I'm going to review players, plays, and share some of my strategies. In game, I think I'm going to finish the Jazz set next. I don't really need Dantley, but I'm curious to use him and I'm two cards away. He's also a former Piston, so there's that. After that, I may just stockpile MT until I see something I want or need. Or go for PD Wilt.

      173-37



      Had to switch up the starting lineup a little. I had Green at the 4 and LBJ at the 3 but I wasn't a big fan of the spacing with the two of them on the court. I'd recommend Green to anyone, seriously he's a good card but I think Kawhi is a better fit with this lineup. I like having LBJ at the 4 running the offense, plus he's a mismatch against a lot of opponents.

      Gonna hurry up and finish up the Diamond league(8-2) so I can head to the PD league and grind out that 11-0 for the Diamond Token. I'd really love to have that Diamond Ben Wallace in my starting lineup. Whiteside's been holding it down though, so no complaints here lol.

        I have basically hit my end game lineup now. My first and second unit have great chemistry and fit the playstyle I like. I went with themes. Starting unit is basically a 2003 all star theme. Bench is a 1997 all star theme. I know everybody raves about how amazing David Robinson is but after lots of testing and playing 100+ games with him.. I find that Mutombo is the better fit for what I need and play style. Both Magic and D Rob are my reserve PG and C. I will also likely replace Paul Pierce for a different reserve SF, perhaps somebody like Ron Artest if he is cheap.

        I will probably use this rotation for the rest of the year. At the phase of the game now where it is more important to me to use my favourite players and dream fantasy team instead of the best available cards.

        Hopefully I will be able to upgrade to better versions of some of my guys too. Hopefully Payton, Iverson, Garnett, Stockton, MJ, and Malone can all go from Ruby/Amy to Diamond prime versions. Also if they come out with a Lakers Shaq I will aim to upgrade my Magic version as well.

        I am sitting on 1.2m mt so I hope that will at least be enough to get diamond Payton, Iverson, and KG.

          You're gonna need a lot more than that to get Diamond Payton, Iverson and KG. They're going to make that Iverson a 98 overall and it's going to go for 600k. The Garnett is going to have a 95 Open Shot 3 and some stupid badge that he has no business having. Payton is going to have HOF all defensive badges and a 90+ Open Shot 3.

            You're right they will prob have some op inflated stats and badging. Hopefully I can get Payton for like 200k and kg and Iverson for 500k a piece.

              So interesting to see you starting Ruby Payton in amongst all the killer options you would have at your disposal. I am starting Tony Parker, but grow increasingly frustrated with him. Intuitively, it feels like he should be my bench PG at best. I've persisted with keeping him im as my starting PG, most likely due to his PnR Maestro (wowwww amythest badge!! *sarcasm*) and also cos he was my first Diamond... but it might be time for me to put him on the bench and give Payton a go. So long Amy Steve Francis :'(

                You should have enough, GP won't be more expensive than Nash. Ppl don't over pay for defense, he'll be around 150k. KG will be around 350k-400k, he might not going to be much better than AD & KP. A lot of ppl don't like using AI because he's undersized, I don't see him in the 500k range. We might see a AI Georgetown card next theme. I really can't wait for that prime GP.

                    Ruby Payton is really a sleeper card. I run him over guys like West, Parker, Tim hardaway, penny, and magic. On defense he makes big plays both on and off the ball. His size is good for bumping people and his speed makes him great to stay in front of the defender. He is truly a pest. On offense I am so comfortable with his animations. I feel really good with the ball in his hands. After testing with a lot of different options I find Payton is the best package for what I need.

                    I'm really excited to see his diamond drop and what purple badges he comes with. Defensive stopper, Pick Pocket, dimer, and acrobat would be amazing!

                      I'm hoping to get GP too for around 200k when he is released.

                      He will probably be in the Stockton set. Hopefully some other hype beast PGs will be released with him so he won't be too expensive.

                        I was so geeked to get Amy Ray Allen(92 OVR) but he is without a doubt the WORST card I have ever played with. NBA 2K completely destroyed his release. He also has no arc on his shot so if you miss time the release you have no chance for a good bounce it just clanks off the front of the rim. Horrible experience with him through 8 games :9/41 from three. Yeah good riddance just sold him for 30k.

                        Its truly insane how much better Amy Rip Hamilton is for half the price.

                        I feel Im stuck and a stand still regarding my roster. Im about to add Amy Shawn Marion but I dont have enough MT to really upgrade my team (40k MT).

                        I pretty much have all the rubies who can ball like Lever, Webber, Payton, Towns, Giannis, Reggie Lewis and Davis.

                        Any other hidden gems ruby and under or maybe some cheap Amys??

                          If you like to play in the post Ruby Karl Malone is one of the best cards in the game. He single handedly runs my offense in my bench unit. Whenever my offense is stagnant or am in need of a bucket he is the most reliable go to scorer I have used this year.

                            Best Ruby I've used is Majerle. How about Diamond Jimmy Butler?

                              I wouldn't get Marion if I were you

                              I have Amy's Francis/Stackhouse/Free and Marion and I just can't use Marion at all offensively

                              I would strongly recommend Francis.

                              Also you may look at some cheep rubies like Maggete/Towns, and cheap Amy's like Howard/ Haywood etc

                                Marion can be useful as an offball offensive weapon. His realease looks funky but the timing is easy to get down and he's a very reliable shooter on open 3's. He's also effective on manual cuts to the basket since he dunks on people. Don't give him the ball and try to create though because he will fail.
