What builds you tried ? I’m hoping to try that pure rim protector at some point .

The Sharpshooting Shot Creator, and the Slashing Shot Creator.

I'd probably try out the Rim Protector if I feel like playing it again.

Yeah, I'm working tonight and had no desire yesterday. Maybe I'll try again in a few days when all the terrible randoms go back to regular walk on cuz they realize they're trash.

I got 2 games with pure rim protector.
The 2nd has been my best combine game so far: 19 pts, 12 rbn, 4 ast, 3 stl, 4 blk, A+

Fun build, good for playing with random people


I'm likely to stick with him

I don't know what's going on with the networking/matchmaking behind this mode, but I played with/against more AI-controlled bots today than I did human-controlled players.

The penalties for choosing to quit out of a game need to be much harsher, since it hurts every other team member who's still in the game.

It also severely limits what you're able to do offensively whenever you're being guarded by a CPU defender.

I played two games today where it was just me and one other guy with 3 AI teammates and it was extremely difficult to do anything on offense with that many bots on the floor since you can't call set plays for the AI to run in the Combine like you can in the regular pro am mode.

It also seems like once you get into a game that's full of AI bots it won't register correctly as a played game and won't show up in your stats or your game log. I just checked the time stamps on my game log and it looks like I have 5 completed games that never got correctly recorded.

Not playing the Combine, but what im concluding is its just a lot of players thinking ISO moves every possession and bucket after bucket after bucket will get them in the 2KL and then get upset and start accusing every random person on their team for ruining their chance of getting drafted?

I've played 15 games at SF and it really boils down to what kind of PG you have. I think I'm 9-6 overall, averaging around 12 pts, 7 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block a game as a Slashing Defender.


A few people have mentioned, but bigs just sit under the basket which makes trying to get to the rim damn near impossible. I find 80% of my points are either in transition or off of one of the bigs missed layups.

I dont know over there but here in Italy it's nearly impossible to have back to back games because the matchmaking takes forever.
