Diamond Bill Russell

Re: Diamond Bill Russell

You do understand that buying MT is cheating and unfair to everyone that plays against you and also a violation of TOS of the game right?

And you can cut your attitude. People buying MT is one of the reason prices are so high for everyone vs 2k15

You do understand that I bought a lot more vc than I bought mt, although vc is not worth It at all. My point being if I spent the rest of my money on vc I'd still have a very similar team just from selling everything. Point being don't be mad at me, be mad at 2k. They created a mode where people that spend money will have a better team.... The odds of vc are so bad people buy mt instead, but if I took that $1000 and spent it all on vc, I'd still have a few diamonds and I'd still have an advantage over a lot of people. Do I think it's fair??? Absolutely not. Iv quit plenty to let people with bad teams win that stick around. I'm just playing within the system that 2k created. I wish stuff was more affordable........ Sadly it'd not and people with money have an advantage and always.

Re: Diamond Bill Russell

I was just curious because of all the diamond players you talk about having tried, definitely was not intending to put a target on your back! Sorry for that.

So how is Russell? Have you taken him online yet? I am sure his defense is spectacular.. but how is his post game? How does he compare to some of the other elite big men in the paint on offense? Also, he has crazy rebounding stats, think it's like 95 or something, but is his 6'10'' height a liability or does his vertical make up for it?

Np at all dude, just wanted to clarify that I'm not hiding anything on here or bragging.

Iv played with him twice online and he's been awesome so far. He's my only really true center (towns and AD kind of Jack of all trades). He protects the paint really well and I'm very impressed by his passing and rebounding so far. Still too few games under the belt. I can tell you this, he's no kemba Walker, definitely worth 500k if you need a defensive big man that's good in the post.

I agree nothing wrong with buying mt, your spending your actual hard earned money, I would buy something that would give me more value for my dollar every time. Also, i don't see how is it unfair because i'm pretty sure prob 90% of the people who spend money on this mode buy mt over vcc and with how terrible 2k packs odds are, i can't blame them for buying mt. Your basically asking to get scammed by buying vc off 2k.

I am not going to pretend that i am not aware of this tactic. I also bought MT for last year. But please do not pretend that this is legal/not unfair for others.

If you buy smuggled cigarettes it is also cheaper for your hard earned dollar because you don't pay tax.

I am not asking you to buy or not to buy MT/VC. You can do whatever you want. But I hold my position that buying MT from sources outside 2k is giving an advantage in the game. If I spend 50 dollars in VC of 2km and one buys 200K MT with the same 50$ has an advantage in squad building over me, because he is violating TOS. Also he/one is creating inflation so it is even harder for me to buy the same card.

Re: Diamond Bill Russell

I'm thinking about running Russell at PF with Hakeem at Center. Anybody try him at PF yet? If so, how is he there? I'm concerned that he will be on the perimeter too much when playing stretch 4s.

Re: Diamond Bill Russell

If I see one for 350k I'll probably get him. IIRC the BM one will be better but I'd rather get this one than spend 750k for that one.

they made most of the bm diamonds useless at this point, why would anybody pay 750k for a bill russell that is barely better then this one and unsellable as well. Nash isn't that good either and I would rather use AS CP3 or moments lillard over nash any time.. The only one worth getting is prob only Magic at this point since the AS one goes for over 2 mill.

Re: Diamond Bill Russell

^Well not everybody is the same. They may want the best version and not really plan on selling him and the BM version is a guaranteed 750k. As far as Nash goes if someone likes him more than those other players and want the best version then that would be more of what they would look for.

He prob would be on the perimeter if you start both since most people online play 4-1. Why not just bench one of them and for closing out games you can probally do that to maximize your defense. Just a suggestion, I don't have either player.

Let me know how that works out for you. Thought about running him at PF also. He is fast enough, so he shouldn't be too much of a liability and his onball d is amazing. Also you will have no problem backing smaller pfs down in isolation in the post.

all of the Russell's are close so I would likely go for the most common and cheapest one...that I could sell if I didn't like. I won't be buying BM Nash for a number of reasons. they didn't fix his badges right? I got Diamond Stockton. Also would rather have AS CP3. 2k is clueless. If they really wanted the BM to be taken seriously...they should've released all of the cards from day one. then it really would be a "black market". The trade of is getting great card that you can't sell. Its pointless to do that now when you can get almost as good a card for fraction of the cost. I agree about Magic.

Re: Diamond Bill Russell

It's actually pretty good news that the first historic diamond released seems to be more common than any other diamond within Moments/DPOY/TBT or AllStar packs.

What if 2K finally realized, that the terrible pack odds broke the market?
People felt scammed investing in VC and not getting anything, which led thousands to 3rd Parties buying MT directly and causing prices to rise tremendously.

If Historic Diamonds become pullable, they would finally take a step towards the customers. Imagine these guys coming and flooding the market! Prices on diamonds would drop like crazy - in all categories
I hope this is real

(these are all historic diamonds revealed so far?)

Re: Diamond Bill Russell

Historic Diamonds likely have same diamond odds... But they can be pulled from ANY pack, which will make them way more common.

Well i don't see any difference between the bill russell out already and the BM one so i don't see why anybody would waste time getting into the BM and spending an extra 400k for basically the same card.

The cheapest I've seen one on PS4 is 420k but regardless of that I already told you why(because it is a better version than the one out now and they want the best version). I'm just saying everybody doesn't see things the same way.
