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

      Just made this lineup today and it is a killer. So far went 7-0 and only had one that was even tight. Best part is that it is 97 overall rated so I only faced 1 god squad.
      In diamond seed again and now I'm having fun. I dominate inside without playing 5 out or pick spamming. It is just fun to play basketball with motion and fluidity from the freelance offense. I have just enough defense to help for the weak spots in my lineup and 4th quarter I lockdown by playing Magic, Cousy, Larry, Russell and Robinson. Can't tell you how many matchups I am destroying Curry or Harden on the post with Magic. Also abusing DRob and Russell together and crushing the weak 4's like Durant, Melo, Paul Pierce, etc. Apparently people only put lineups together to shoot the 3 ball constantly. GG

        I havent played MT in forever since I have been busy with Tom Clancy and other things. Yesterday when I loged in I was bombarded with 3 different ads begging me to buy VC at a discounted price for a limited time including 50% off 75k. Then when I got into myteam they gave me some complementary 5k mt and I used it to open a pack and pulled giannis. Thanks 2k

          I wasn't expecting to be able to do so, but I was able to afford to complete Historic Bucks, Spurs, and Pacers without selling any pieces of the All-Around collection. And while also being able to afford DI Pierce, DI Gasol, and DI George. Not much MT left, but I still have 3 Pierce dupes to sell, as well as what is still ~2000 card collection, after locking for PD West.

          But I don't know what I should actually lock for, if anything. Would be really hard to find playing time for collection rewards, so locking for them seems really wasteful:


          I don't really like the idea of playing Robinson at 4 with Gasol at 5. Or any 2 x 7-footer Twin Tower sort of setup, as it feels too cheesy to me. Would be really nice to be able to use one of the wings as a stretch 4, but they're all pretty underwhelming-looking as rebounders.

          It's really hard to get playing time for all these high-end wings without going Stretch 4. And I still haven't gotten PD Baylor yet (2 weeks behind, so will get him at the end of this week).

          As much as I hate to do it, I might just take Sabonis off my lineup altogether, not lock for Manu, and run Robinson as my starting center, Gasol as my bench. Use McGinnis as a more traditional PF. My ideal is Diamond AD, but I can't afford him without selling off all the above collections. (Ideal is also a very high-end Draymond, but it doesn't look like a Diamond Draymond will be released unless, maybe, he wins DPOY.)

          And I probably take Magic out of the lineup completely. I don't like using him to maximum effect, which requires cheesy, relentless posting up. I half keep him to defend another Magic. But I would feel pretty good doing that with Pierce, Artest, and several others.

          And then maybe I could bring back in one of the following PG's I have: PD West, DI Penny, DI Kidd, and DI D-Rose.

          I'd also like to buy back Amethyst Giannis back (and/or be able to afford his future Diamond). I sold him to have the MT necessary to complete Historic Pacers while still being able to buy PG and Gasol before their packs expire.

          To really make a decision on how to configure the lineup, I'd need to play with these guys, and mix them around. But one can't play several of these guys without locking collections irrevocably. With easy opportunities to earn MT, think I need to make some tough decisions...

            One of the things you should decide to do is buy a PS4 for next year. The AH sounds like such a pain in the *** on PC.

              Yeah agreed, go PS4!

              I need some people to play friendlies with, I'm almost tapped out on playing emerald league players.

                Well, a month ago, I really wanted a Diamond Carmelo, and since the game came out, I've wanted Diamond Laettner. I bought a ten pack box and pulled Carmelo and Jay Williams, so I had to do the set. Laettner is absolutely amazing. Best PF I've used, without a doubt. Still learning to use Melo - right now, he doesn't do much for me, but I enjoy the process. Mitch is easily the best shooter I've ever used in 2k. Spot up, he's money. Off the dribble, it's usually greens. I don't know why I put PD West as my starter - I start Micheal Ray Richardson. I'm still trying to learn to use Worthy. If I can't figure him out, I'll bench him for Chambers or Gasol.

                Next up, I might take a run at that new Jordan and/or Yao. Other than that, I plan to work toward PD Wilt and Kobe.

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

                  Hey fellas!

                  This is what I'm rolling with right now and I have around 600k when I'm done selling all the little stuff like shoes etc.

                  I'm a bit torn because I'm a Jordan fan for ages and I want the Goat on my squad. The question is whether it's the right move to go to the bottom of my MT Bank Account or not. What keeps me holding back of pulling the trigger is the fact that
                  a) this won't be the best jordan in the game (allthough it's questionable if there is going to be another pullable one)
                  b) there could be another huge hit for market values when MVP packs get released (maybe this Jordan will drop to 400k with more equally good alternatives)
                  c) I have good alternatives right now
                  d) I could save for a much needed PF position like Prime KG or Dirk

                  Any recommendations? Or any feedback on this Jordan card in general?

                    I'm pretty satisfied with my squad at this point after I get PD Timmy and Petit I'll probably start both of them. I'm a Minnesota fan so I'm hoping KAT gets a Diamond before the season is over and at some point I'll pick up Timberwolves KG.

                    I want PD MJ but with only 250K MT that's probably a pipe dream.

                    PSN is kidkain if anybody wants that smoke I'll warn you though I'm probably one of the greatest on ball defenders to ever play 2K lol....Serious though. Also I'm tired of playing Ruby/ emerald squads.

                      Curry/Westbrook
                      Klay/Q-Rich
                      Kawhi/PG13
                      Draymond/KD
                      Dwight/AD

                      This Dwight card is freaking awesome. Just had my first 20-10 game with a big man with him last night. He completely abused this guy's Ruby Shaq. The Kawhi-Draymond-Dwight frontcourt is so dominant on the defensive end. Dropped about 2,300 MT on a Ruby Q-Rich, played about two game and shot like crap with him but it's cool because I was forcing it haha.

                      Next cards on my radar are Ruby KD, Amethyst Kawhi, Amethyst Westbrook and Amethyst AD.

                        Ruby KD should be a good deal. How much is Amethyst KD on your platform, relative to Ruby KD? It would be better to stretch for him. Also to not get Amethyst Kawhi and either wait for Diamond affordability or stretch right now for Diamond PG24, Pierce, or Amethyst Battier.

                          Amethyst Battier is a monster I'm starting him at SG right now till I settle on an end game 2 and there isn't anybody he can't defend. I've locked up or for the most part held in check the likes of Magic Tmac, MJ, Vince etc pretty easily

                            I'm grinding through prestige 3 right now and enjoying this lineup a lot. Lou Hudson is just the perfect shooting guard for me, PG24 is wet, and then off the bench Marc Gasol is a monster.

                            Just went 8-0 in Sapphire league to get a diamond shoe and it was the Currys!!! +9 SWB +9 Speed +9 Acceleration. How do you guys think I should put it on? I was thinking Penny because he's low 90s for all three of those categories.

                            Also I have that addidas +9 acceleration +9 driving layup +9 shot close & a +9 post fade +9 post control +9 shot close; do you guys have suggestions for where to use them? They've been collecting dust for ages and I want to use them lol

                              Battier is a beast. If you run a high-usage PG and only need a 3-and-D specialist at SG, Battier may be end-game worthy. His size and defensive attributes are perfect for clamping superstar guards.

                                I wouldn't put them on Penny. Unless you're a huge Penny fan and he'll be in your endgame line up no matter what.

                                Pragmatically, he's not an endgame card. I think the threshold is now at least a couple HoF badges and very good personality badging, and low Intangibles.
