I disagree about needing a 4 out lineup. I run a 3-2 with both my units and win plenty without taking a single 3 with any of my bigs. Yes just life real life the game is very 3point heavy. However, that is not a must. Also lots of the shooting bigs lack elite post D which means a traditional lineup won't have as much trouble scoring in the paint.

Re: Lineup Roll call...what your squads looking like?!!?!
I tried that lineup you suggested, it worked about the same as the others I've tried in the ruby league (got blown out in the second half) so I can't honestly say if it's good or bad. Goodrich got bullied a lot as SG though.
Yeah I'm thinking you guys might be right about my lack of shooting, I am now 0 for 5 in the ruby league. This is ridiculous. I almost went undefeated in the amethyst league, got most of the way through the diamond without encountering these types of walls that my entire team seems to hit. I'm used to scoring mostly with dunks and midranges, using a variety of different offenses. But that's just not working in the ruby league. It seems like in literally every game now, the table is tilted heavily in the opponent's favor, in all categories. It might be time to try something new.
Kevin johnson is too much fun for me to consider selling him, especially for what he's worth. Same goes for DJ, him and kemp are lob city cheese in the upper leagues.
Magic though, I could consider selling. He's a god on the drive but his defense is a tad lacking and his complete lack of shooting is poop. He's got a diamond contract, diamond shoe and and is fully badged so I feel I could pull at least 60k for him. Maybe more because people tend to overpay for those diamond contracts. Then I could buy a new player, probably a SG or SF who can shoot lights out. Bradley beal comes to mind. He's like 90k and has the badges. Screw it. I've always built my lineups around dunking because it's so fun, but I need to win games to get out of this league. Change my game. Adapt. Evolve. Expand.Last edited by jschmib; 05-18-2017, 02:35 AM.Comment

Re: Lineup Roll call...what your squads looking like?!!?!
Played the Shaq challenges and used the 30K MT to get a Wes Unseld card to replace Draymond. Love the rebounding and defense that he and Tim Duncan provide.
Also put back Q-Rich in place of Goodrich. Not really feeling Goodrich's release tbh.
Probably gonna get a Diamond Kawhi and PG13 next but the only card I really want is a Diamond Curry.Comment

Re: Lineup Roll call...what your squads looking like?!!?!
I shudder at the thought of dealing with Diamond Curry haha. I'm waiting on Amethyst/Diamond Klay, as I imagine you might be as well. His Ruby was the last Ruby in my lineup and I loved it. An Amethyst/Diamond with better badging, defense and possibly speed/ball control would probably kick PD Baylor out of my lineup. I just love Klay's release.
I would have upgraded to the Amethyst Curry but I'm such a noob that I wasted my Diamond shoe on the Ruby one that I have now and it maxed out his Speed ratings. So my ruby one is faster than the Amethyst version so I'm just gonna stick with this one until the Diamond drops.
And yeah I'm gonna need that Amethyst Klay as soon as it drops lol.Comment

Yeah can't wait. Curry was my favorite player in 2K16. I had a blast with him and his 3 point shooting.

I'm a fellow noob so I feel your pain haha. I put Diamond contracts on Diamond Ben Wallace and Diamond Shawn Marion
EDIT: It's actually Amethyst Shawn Marion. D'oh!Last edited by Nickstank; 05-18-2017, 09:39 AM.End Game Lineup: http://2kmtcentral.com/17/lineups/10...ine-end-lineup

But once in a while I'll have those games where Klay/Curry get hot from three so I'll go to them instead.Comment

Re: Lineup Roll call...what your squads looking like?!!?!
How would you guys organize these players into a lineup? I've worked so hard on this team but I can never decide what works best. Oversized, undersized... all I know is I'm in stuck in the ruby league, and no matter what I do I get shat on. Help me dude bros.
Magic, Unseld, Pierce have the Jordan +9 SWB, +9 Dunk, +9 Vert shoe. Goodrich has the +9 accel +9 layup +9 shot close one. But I find his lack of defense disturbing.
Starters: Rondo, Thompson, Pierce, Kemp, Deandre
Bench Penny, Gail, PG, Unseld, ShaqComment

Re: Lineup Roll call...what your squads looking like?!!?!
I just bought Diamond LeBron for 145k...
my team is now:
Francis - Hornacek - LeBron - Haywood - Whiteside
Curry - Klay - Joe Johnson - Webber - DeAndre
I got 70k to improve, which players should i get?

Also considering Bradley Beal or this new JR Smith... passable defense and insane badging. Would really add a new level of 3pt cheese to the team, and they're in my price range.Comment

Re: Lineup Roll call...what your squads looking like?!!?!
I'll definitely look into getting PG, but not sure about rondo. The duo doesn't do a whole lot, and I rondo has the same huge flaw as KJ... terrible low post defense IQ. I picked up an amy john wall with a DI ball control shoe and I'm loving how good he is at defending post-ups from all the crazy cards people put at PG now. Tiny PG's are just too much of a liability for me to invest 70k in one.

Especially at 2, where there are even more choices to abuse guys who are weak and/or bad at inside D.Comment

The acquisition I'd work on is getting a Center with outside shooting, or at least high-level midrange and more nuanced post game.Comment
