Totally agree. It's nice to be able to play a 48-minute game...it really changes the rotations and the way you put a team together.

I just wish there was more than ONE option...so if I want to play a 48-minute games, I have to play that loaded 76ers team that just kills me on the glass.

I enjoyed this challenge. I wish they'd add a game mode like this. Part of the fun for me in this mode is strategizing with lineups, getting your starters some rest, etc.

loved this challenge. you get to use more then one player to their full potential. i beat it on my second try. i hope they add more 12 minute quarter games. i had 3-4 players with double digit rebounds.

you really get an idea how beast some of these cards are in that challenge.

Maybe try using taller players in the post. i find it isnt always the best rebounder that wins. i was using howard at pf and hibbert at center and i easily won the rebounding battle. There r much taller centers too that would grab a ton of rebounds. Just a thought

I get that, but if there are a total of 45-50 challenges and I've completed them all the circle should at least be complete until they release a new challenge.

Obviously it's a minor thing, it's just slightly annoying, and I was just curious if I was the only one experiencing that issue or if it's the same for everyone.

PG-Oladipo/Dragon
SG-JR/Free
SF-Nique/Wiggins
PF-KD/Lebron
C-Deandre/Dawkins

Don't waste one of your golds on a big guy. Big guys are too interchangeable. Dawkins and Deandre are just as good as D12 in this game. I manually subbed with two separate units and tried to make them equally strong so I wouldn't go into any droughts. You should drop D12 and use another scorer(PG, Melo, Harden, rose, Lillard, Gay, or any number of cheap gold legends). And I'd go small, put Durant at the 4, and abuse whoever they put at the 4

ah good idea.. yer now you say it, D12 got hammered anyway....

Could run with Melo also. will try that tonight
