Is anyone using a PF in RTTP?

So in NBA 2K16 you'll be a lot better off going with a power forward who can hit threes and play out on the perimeter instead of clogging up the post where it's easy to collapse or standing in the mid-range where the defense can close out a lot easier. Until 2K expands the court size or reduces the global running speed of players, the 4-out 1-in will always be a tougher offense to defend compared to the 3-out 2-in.

I feel like good basketball moves get punished while "cheesy" plays get rewarded. I just made a dreamshake with hakeem and got blocked from behind by Kyrie Irving. Of course the ball falls in lbj's hand, he is turboing down the court and made a layup with 3 defenders in front of him +1. he just runs right into the defenders. This kind of sums up the problem i have with this mode.

Title is there to reflect the reason of the thread.

In your case it is completely disconnected

You want to complain about double team turbo's etc? Go right ahead.

This has nothing to do with your title, neither with your first sentence that says that playing SF at PF is the cheesiest thing to do.

By the way you do a leap o flogic claiming that the only reason behind playing players like LBJ or Melo at PF is cheesing.

In addition, playing guys like KD,Melo,PG13, LBJ in the post for sure makes you more vulnerable in Defense Vs playing AD or BG etc.

Playing small is mainly done for offense and NOT for defense. If someone wants to cheese he can do it with natural PF fine as well.

I complained about small ball everywhere and the logical consequence is sending double teams to the post bc you cant defend a strong PF with Melo. If there would be better spacing and less easy strips in the paint a lot of people would think twice to go small for a run&gun offense. Just to highlight the connection for you.

Btw Melo and LBJ are still listed as SFs, not as PFs, so my title "anyone using a PF?" is correct even in your pedantic view. Fact is not democratic.

I use LMA as PF.

For me, he does good against quicker PFs most of the time. But it's good to have players like Kawhi / Paul George who can play PF when guys like LMA becomes a liability on D.

Or Draymond Green... who is a great perimeter defender and a real PF.

Yeah, i added PG to my lineup too. I just wonder why i spent a ton of MT on elite Bigs just to run PG at PF all the time.
Aldridge is too slow to guard those imo. I had some sucess with Davis with perimeter lockdown badge added.

It might get a little better in the 3rd seed as the difficulty is on superstar?

Now you start to lose track; nobody said they are pure PFs. My statement regarding SF/PF was to explain the title, which you accused of being "misleading".
You defended the cheese and argued who plays at the 4 in real life in your last post:

Symptomatic how you and your buddie feel offended and try to argue with real life player positions every time. Myteam is nowhere near RL and is not SIM at all. People will always abuse certain game mechanics to win and this small ball run&gun is the worst.

Ok mate, playing LBJ or Durant as PF is cheese. GS is a team of cheesers wining the championship with Green as C. Not going to argue anymore with you. You are not making any sense.
