Lut 16 thread

[BL8001]

Re: Lut 16 thread

I just replayed the same matchup and killed the tempo.

Forced the cpu to slow down and this minimized the shot totals.

This coupled with steals working more fairly and rodman and gasol actually blocking out and jumping for rebounds led to a win, 35-24.

I will say this needs tweaking because its stupid. If the cpu gets a rebound or picks up a ball I knocked loose their shooting average on the shot that occurs within 5 seconds is 100%.

That needs fixing.

Here was the silliest example. Cpu gasol is way out behind 3pt line and gets the ball. My gasol swipes at him and dislodges the ball. Melo stares at it as it bounces and rolls and cpu gasol lurches for it and picks it up inside the 3 pt line and why not shoot right? So from the loose ball gather he transitions right into a 20 foot jump shot that swishes.

This go it was funny because I was up 10 at the time. It is straight up goofy looking.

Here is another one, conley drives the lane, I flick control to my gasol and block out the sun. I swat conley's feeble attempt and it bounces to the floor, randolph swoops over and during the ball grab animation he transitions straight into the hook shot floater from 14 feet away.

Its that junk where when they put it up you just wait to inbound it, because it's going in.

Re: Lut 16 thread

Hi All new to the forum just wanted to say hello before joining on in. I like Live a lot and always have so I'm glad it's back. To bad EA came with it. My first question is. Are you guys also going thru a problem with the AH servers saying they have a problem and then listing the player anyway? I can no longer see what I'm selling or what it was set at. I only see the cards after the time has passed and if they don't sell and get left in the sell pile.

Welcome to the forums. There are a few live heads here. Have fun. We do.

I have not encountered this problem. If you search you may find the answer. If not I'm sure someone will be able to give you an answer.

Always Live.

Yep this happens to me, it was bad last year, like happened always, this year the first two weeks I had the game it worked flawlessly and I thought they had fixed it.

But nope, same issue as last year. I have 15 items for sale.
10 sit in my sell pile looking like they are ready to list, but I listed them last night and they are still up on the market.

I have 3 items under selling with no bids with the timer shown in the upper right corner.

2 items are out in the ether. No clue where they are. They come back eventually and I can post them again but they disappear.

It's really annoying and it is the only UT mode in all the EA games I own that does this.

Re: Lut 16 thread

I stole the ball 9 times, except no, either my player went blind and could not find the ball on the floor or the cpu warped over and picked it up and every time they scored a basket within 2 seconds because somehow my D runs out on steals, even brief steals, leaving the basket unguarded.

Some of the on ball steals animations are probably the worst. You knock the ball loose and you go into a stupid animation with zero control of your player which causes the opponent to quickly pick up the loose ball.

Another thing that I can't seriously fathom is the reach in foul on double teams. Seriously? Why is the CPU getting bailed out by a bs random reach in foul which it is clearly obvious that the ball is going to get knock out of the guys hands. It just blows my mind and a slap in the face.

Thanks BL. I'll relax then it's just EA being EA. Moving on to bigger things how are you guys doing getting players in the AH. I'm trying to figure out how this all works. This is my first time really diving in. I don't get it? The 95-99 players cost so much and you are really limited in ways to get the ones you want. For example I have a 97 rated Larry Bird. He would sell pretty good right?I have seen him listed at a mil. So I guess my question is are you guys selling your best card and just getting the best players you can after that?

Another thing I can't make threads so lol. What was everyone's Master team they had to use for the Westbrook card? If this is better in it's own thread can one of you guys get it started. Here's what i had

PG Kemba Walker
SG D Derozan
SF Glen Rice
PF Chris Bosh
C Willey Collie Stien
Bench
Kevin martin
Thadeous Young
Giannis Antetokoumpo
C Boozer
Jason Maxiell
Mike Miller
Nick Young

Glen rice and Kemba carried me. lol

In my opinion you need 7 star players to do well. I would sell if I had a player worth 500k plus. Try and get your entire stating lineup 88 plus rated. Then if you can get 2 or 3 guys on the bench at 84-86 you will be set. A few guys I would go for are...

Center tandem of Noah and Gortat
Rodman
Rookie Iverson
Duncan or Dirk (both are cheap)
Derrick Rose or Kyle Lowry
Larry Johnson
Rookie Lebron
Jimmy Butler


Theses dudes are not too expensive and will help you run the challenges. Then save, save, and save your coins for the 90 plus elite guys.

Re: Lut 16 thread

I will add a few I like, not sure of prices.

Legend Mashburn 3's from SF
Lilliard all arounder
Legend Spud Webb and his 93 speed attacking the rim, can dunk too.
Highlight Bosh with the higher 3 rating, he is a beast
Starks legend is a solid SG
Rodman legend is a must for outrebounding the cpu. I wish you could give individual commands in this game, I never need to see Rodman spotting up for a 3. Happens way too often. He should go down to the blocks and set up camp always.

I have a soft spot for legend Kukoc, he has hit some clutch shots for me, I have his slightly better rated community challenge card
Jimmy Buckets, should be on everyones team

Couple other dudes I know are too expensive, just got lucky in packs;
Marc Gasol sig blocks blocks blocks and rebounds has not left my starting 5
Worthy legend, solid, hasnt left my starting 5
Irving xmas card, regularly scores double digits

I doubt you will get a mill for Bird. I've always seen him for 600k-700k on the block and it never see it get sold.

Hey Zach,
I actually have a bunch of players and finished all the challenges. I'm just making fun teams for H2H. My A team as I call them is
PG S Curry
SG J Harden or the Pistol
SF L Bird or the Dr. Jay
PF Anthony Davis
C M Gasol
Bench
Penny
harden cause I usually start Pistol pete
Doc J
Blake G
D Cousins
The best squad I can get on court is I think either a 92 squad or 94. My problem is against the better teams with a 94 S curry or the guys who have Shaq and Mosses Malone. I thought I did good with the AH and using my coins wisely. But when I see a team with Bron and KD the best Kobe in the game and so on. I wonder how they got all those players. I haven't been playing long and the only card I got worth selling from buying packs was a duplicate of a Gasol. So I have no idea how you get more then 2 or 3 95 players on your squad when they all sell for way to much in the AH. The team I have most fun with is my old school team and I want the Big O and Mosses and a couple other's Malone and so on. At this rate I'll have to play alot of games or buy packs and sell the cards. So I'm trying to understand the end game after challenges. Seems like a pay to win kinda thing if I have to buy packs.

Thanks some good players you listed. But I guess I'm really looking for ways to get the likes of that 97 Kobe and pair him with Shaq again or Penny. I mean are people sitting on 2 mil in coins. Bare with me guys I'm really having a hard time comprehending the game time it must take to stock that kind of coin with out buying packs. I barley get games as it is in LUT. I guess I know the answer. I'm gonna have to play this like I did Destiny to get my favorites lol. I really don't wanna grind games for coins.

Also on the fence with Jimmy buckets I haven't used him yet so not sure I want to invest in him. Played against him in LUT and he didn't impress. I was able to handle him with my current guards.
I love the Monster Mash I have him 2.

So whats the best way to work the AH. Your right I never see any of the high dollar guys sell. Until I saw 1 of those Brons go for over 500k. I do see what I think is some one who may have made a mistake from time to time and has a really good player started at 1,000. But on those bids another funny thing happens I can never win those Bids at the end some one always wins and my screen shows me winning my moneys gone and once the processing is done some how I lose the bid. Can anyone shed light on this?

I'm 100% sure it's lag. For whatever reason the game connection is very slow in updating the bidding process. It just so happens that some other players who are bidding aren't facing the lag. That why you are a step slow.

So bid > quickly back out once the auction house and search again. By doing that the auction will update.

Thanks I will try that tonight. But I don't know that I even have enough time to do that. I have waited to 19 secs make my Bid it resets the counter to maybe 25s. I'm watching the seconds tick so I'm thinking how can I be lagging. I never get the notification that another person outbid me the counter doesn't reset on my end. Hmmmm
