Re: All around theme

its official clyde is a human trash can hes 1-18 for threes in 8 games misses every jump shot have yet to green release anything, the king of blocked dunks, gets beat on defense all the time im going to say the worst diamond in the game

For you maybe. I have every usa player and hes a beast for me..i shot 4/5 from 3 in one game with him. Very happy with him. Sounds like maybe you don't have his release down? I had nique so im very used to clydes release.

Re: All around theme

c web and hondo are worth it

I've got C-Webb in my lineup, and I have debated on getting Hondo. I have thought about replacing Keith Van Horn with him

Re: All around theme

Hondo bricks a lot of open 3s. What gives?

2k showing the Rockets love again making another flawed player.

Re: All around theme

the c webb card is pretty good actually... if you slap a diamond open three shoe on him he is 90 open shot three... i can deal with that. his jumper wet too on the inside.

Re: All around theme

I just noticed Fat Levers stats look awesome. Gonna pick him up and see if he can take Francis backup spot could use the defense and bump in shooting.

Re: All around theme

Webber seems really small in game, they have him at 6ft 9, wasn't he 6ft 10 in real life?

Yeah, his official listed height was 6'10".

It's a pretty good card. I've only played him in a few All-Star PvCPU games. He's very effective defensively and I find him a very reliable midrange shooter. Against non-elite defense, he is quite good at working the post. Rebounds well. What I think is a little disappointing -- and which is probably room left for his Amethyst or Diamond -- is that he's not fast, and is unrealistically slow with the ball.

He should be faster with the ball and able to push the ball up the court to initiate fast breaks.

Re: All around theme

Opened a box and got the Rose topper. Wasn't til after pack 17 weirdly enough. Anyhow, I bashed him tf up, slapped diamond contracts on him, dropped a triple double and then threw him up for auction. Auction ends around 2:30pm PST on PS4 today. Help me complete my lockdown set [emoji173]

Re: All around theme

Has anyone used Wilt? I am very tempted for the price he goes to.

He is very athletic, has great badges, is very decent defender and post scorer.

I have been using Wallace as starter and Towns as back-up throught all the year, but I am thinking Wilt could be a starter

Im in pretty much the same situation as you, im probably going to get him, the ratings u mentioned are great but his tendencies look fantastic, 99 standing dunk, 85 driving dunk, 99 standing layup, 92 contest shot, 92 block shot, 15! foul

Re: All around theme

Penny vs Rose, who would you keep? I snagged Penny for roughly 240k with infinite contracts and I have enough mt to buy Rose.

I enjoy using Penny a lot, but I had loads of fun using Rose in the past. I can't afford to have them both in my collection (saving some mt for future releases and I've completed the playmakers set).

If I had to keep one I'll go with Rose. They're pretty much on the same level tho. They have very similar play style It should come down to animation preference. Imo Rose has better jumper and dribble animations.
Rose is a lot better than I anticipated. Imo he's the best offensive PG right now elite playmaking, athleticism, mid range, and finishing.

I've had no problem stopping Rose with my 6 ft'7 Hardaway, and mostly have had my way with him on the offensive end. Rose is a mediocre defender at best, so unless you're planning on dropping 30 every game with him he's going to give up about as much as he puts in.

Rose "bad defense" is blown out of proportion. 80 on ball & 84 lat quick isn't a liability. If you're a good manual defender you shouldn't have a problem. If some is giving up as much as they're scoring with him that's probably because they're aren't good defenders. If that's the case it doesn't matter what card they're using they'll get burn on D.

Rose is a defensive liability, just not an extreme one. 84 Lat Quickness is okay, but still low for an elite card and because, unlike Penny, he doesn't have length to compensate. At least he has extreme Acceleration, to help "come from behind" to block progress to the rim. And he's very strong (probably to make him a stronger dunker), so this helps in stalling drives.

But even if he stays in between his man and the rim, he still only has 79 Shot Contest, which is quite poor. And his Block is basically only theoretical.

What is unfortunate is that he's limited to Adidas and there are no Adidas shoes for Lat Quickness or Shot Contest. If one could do +9 to Shot Contest and +6 to Lat Quickness (or even +3), then he would be an entirely different player, defensively.

All this said, offensively he's an animal. One can really feel that extra gear of speed and explosiveness, compared to most other players. His dribbling is extremely crisp and quick.

He launches from far away from the rim. It's crazy how often one will be trying to break down a defender, get a smidgen of daylight in terms of a lane to the rim and, BOOM, he explodes into a massive dunk animation and posterizes whichever poor big happens to be in the paint, thinking he can stop this.

He also finishes really ridiculous contested layups, I imagine due to his HoF Acrobat. Stupid stuff.

And he's money from midrange. Extreme threat to just pull up and pull some moving shot from anywhere inside the arc.

An offensive phenom. Potentially to the extent that it's worth his defensive weaknesses. But I'm not so sure. A Magic would wreck Rose in the post.
