Suck at RTTP

[BigMac325]

Im really struggling in the unrestricted seeds. I either get beat by a guy who just drains 3 after 3, while my guys are blowing open mid range or i face charge after charge.
This is my lineup

Any suggestions or advice?
Much appreciated

Run spurs playbook. play defence.

Don't worry, man, you have enough time to beat RTTP because we're still in May. I bet it back in January and I'll give you a few pointers to help you:

1. First off, run the Spurs playbook like the other poster recommended. They have a variety of different plays that range from high/low post action, BUNCH of PNR plays, and my favorite, catch and shoot off screens. I love using Onyx Dirk since he's a great shooter. Seldom to see a big man knock down 3's like that (2K f**ked him over w/ that 85 standing 3 rating, dude shot near 40%3PT in '06).


2. Just play defense. You have athletic wing players but the only ones that come off to me as solid defenders are MJ and KD. Personally, I enjoy running w/ Ruby Jimmy, Kawhi, Sapphire George, Sapphire Deng, and Gold CP3 since they're all fantastic defenders. You should also start Russell at the 5 because he's given me a lot of trouble despite me having Emerald Whiteside, Onyx Zo, Gold Timmy, and Sapphire Yao. Try to also play on-ball defense.


3. Be PATIENT, PATIENT, PATIENT!!! Run your offense at a moderate rate and run only when you need to. If he/she hits a 3, don't worry about it and come back down the court forthe best shot. If he/she starts knocking down a few shots and you have no answer, call a timeout.


Hope this helps. Sounds very simplistic, yet effective. Coming from a guy whose beaten the first seed like twenty different times.

Thanks for the help man, I'll take all this into consideration next game. what players do you think I should ditch for the more defensive options?
Really appreciate your help

No problem, man + pertainin to your question, you should try to go after the players I already mentioned, sans Gold CP3. Judging by your team, it really shouldn't be challenging getting the Sapphire wing players. Both Deng/George have an 88 standing 3 ball and 90+ on ball defensive I.Q. Kawhi is a deadly shooter (89/87 mid-range ratings) who could hit the 3 ball and guard quick point guards. Everytime I've gone up against an Onyx Ray Allen, Kawhi is the dude that locks him down. Tbh, I really can't give an assessment on Ruby Jimmy bc I just got him but he's similar to the rest. Out of these four, I usually like to run 3 at a time, switching up matchups to keep it fresh. Placing Kawhi on point guards also allows me to get away w/ playing Sapphire Curry who is an undersized defensive liability.


Depending on the state of your team, these guys are great. Also, don't try to get persuaded into buying Onyx Artest/Iggy. They're great but are complete bricklayers, a la Bob the Builder (lol) on the offensive end.

On offense you can also run GSW playbook: check it out here in detail,

My experience with some of these players is different. Iggy's got an easy release and a 99 dunk rating on top of being one of the best defenders in the game. And guys like MJ and Dr J are great defenders themselves so I can't fully agree with taking those guys out, either. The only guy I'd switch out is Harden, Ruby Klay/Onyx Hondo/Onyx Iggy are great 3 and D guys. LBJ is also a better defender than Durant but you can get away with one average defender on each of your lineups (Lillard/KD).
