So ironic that 2K decided to use the stronger versions of those 'aged' players. It seems that they really think we're fools.... Allow at least a few Golds as Bronze player's defensively have no chance against Onyx players whether on or off-ball.

I honestly won by at least 20 and ran that play 15 times throughout the game and absolutely not connecting on a high percentage.

I wasn't gonna take the chance to fail it. Close games are fun but I needed the mt on the first try.

I could win by 5-10 easy without cheese. PnR all day, give and go's, transition game, half court Inbound plays.

RC Durant is an 82. He's easily replaceable. Guys like Gordon H, Jamal C, Korver, etc are just as formidable.

Great feedback on the players. My problem has been Dirk starting at SF and then playing PF and C. I wish my Dirk on MyTeam ran up and down the court like CPU's Onyx version. Dirk plays much bigger against smaller forwards.

My lineup:

1. Oladipo
2. Ross
3. Thompson or G. Green
4. Gortat or Gasol or Monroe
5. Jordan

To me, it's made no difference who the bronze players are as they would only make 1 of 3 shots at best (including Jimmer, Daniels, Morrow, James Jones).

Portland C.?

[QNo]

I used Beverley/Majerle/JR Smith/AC Green/Tyson. Playing through JR, Dirk can't keep up with him and tires out.

All you need to shut down Onyx Dirk is a long 6'8" - 6'9" wing like Gerald Green or Trevor Ariza. Dirk has a super slow release with no lift to it, and he is no threat at all to drive, so just crowd him constantly with the left trigger and do a manual shot contest with the right joystick when he's about to shoot.

Then when you have the ball on offense, you can drive around Dirk all day and take advantage of the speed mismatch.

The CPU actually gave me a run for my money in this challenge, but I ended up beating it on my first attempt with:

Dragic
Klay
Rookie KD
Pau
Gortat

I don't remember who all I had on the bench but I do remember that Morrow was definitely my MVP from the bench. You only need a very small amount of space with him and it's money.
