Domination - Roadblocks (Teams to look out for and how to beat them))

[Phoenix87]

I lost twice to the Jazz, but after adapting to the CPU I started getting 1k MT each game, even against the best opponents. Right now I'm halfway through Historic Domination and I'm still getting at least 1k MT, even without getting the 10FTs.

I'm not there yet, I just played the Knicks (and got 1400+, my personal best). On defense I just try to force them into a quick shot (leaving the ball-handler some space, but getting closer when I see he's about to shoot) or to force a TO with a double-team... or anything else that will give me the ball quickly, if they end up scoring sometimes it's ok. On offense I try to score a lot on fastbreaks, while on standard possessions a classic PnR to start will give me an easy dunk/layup or a kick-out for an open 3. If the defense keeps its position after the Pnr, I usually take a fadeaway from the post with Nowitzki. I usually end the games with at least 70% on FG and 50% on 3s, so by just playing quickly you will get a lot of MT and win the game because there's no way the CPU can keep up with those FG%.

LMAO. I used an even more loaded team against the Wizards and lost three times.

Buckled down for the fourth and concentrated and blew them out by 20. Early on, at one point, I think the score was like 30-9.

So it really is more about play than lineup.

By the way, Thon Maker - especially with Livingston around to buff - is really interesting. Vs the Wuz scrubs he went nuts. Scored 10 points in and around the paint in 4 minutes.

I'm glad 'm not the only one who notices that the tipped balls/deflections go back to the CPU around 80% of the time? I thought they had supposedly fixed that.

For those having trouble, the same strategy that made this a cakewalk for me last year works just as well if not better this year.

The key is running the halfcourt trap defense all game and then controlling a rim protector to patrol the paint. The CPU will double the ball most of the time, sometimes getting steals, but always forcing a quicker tempo.

I haven't mastered offense yet but I'm running the Warriors freelance and go with a pick and roll from the top of the key after made baskets. Winning easily with 850-950 points every game.

Anything that speeds up the game is good, even if the other team scores a lot (as long as we score more ofc). Winning 80-75 is a guaranteed 1k MT or even more, winning 45-40 is not enough to get 3 stars every game (at the end of historic domination you need almost 900 MT).

So I lost one to my Magic but quickly bounced back with a 10 point win. I'm really finding that Marv Williams is the best PF in my rotation by a long way (I Have Dirk and Serge Ibaka also). Don't ask me why but he seems to be my MVP on this team, between him and Gortat when on the floor I do damage both on the offense and defensive ends.

Got past the Bucks with relatively ease but found Carter-Williams tough to guard.

Next up the Rockets!
