I'm in the last 3rd of historic domination and it's becoming harder and harder to meet the MT requirements.
There's a couple of games against Shaq and one against the Spurs twin towers that were just vicious. My bigs are pretty lousy and it was a huge struggle against those guys. Also, the paint protection AI was on point. I even had a tomahawk dunk attempt by Oladipo completely stuffed by Duncan with the best block animation I've seen so far.
Early games were easy because there are bunch of fake bronze players in the bench that could be easily abused. Now some of the better teams are full of players and especially 3 point shooters. Add to that elite rim protection and it's actually difficult to progress.
I'm gone from normal gameplay -> forcing manual cuts -> double team everyone -> double team just the stars -> to finally fouling 10+ times in the fourth.
I'm loving the difficulty
