Dynamic Duos Done?

[isdatyt]

Was this just a gimmick? It seems like forever since we've gotten new duos and some players are begging for them. Ever since that already extremely OP Francis (For the lamest connection ever) got one I've been waiting for Big Ben to get blessed. Now with this Amethyst Billups available in packs, it's the perfect time to give him one.

But will they? Nash came out months ago yet he wasn't paired with Marion. There are times when two players on the same team get Moments cards in the same game, but for some reason, no duo. LeBron & Kyrie. KD & Steph. They've released a Stockton & a Malone. No Duo. Pierce & KG. No Duo. Yao & TMac. Magic & Kareem. Bird & Parrish. Kidd & VC. Tony Allen & Marc Gasol both had LD collection cards. No Duo!!

This was one of the most fun aspects of the game and I think it helps add diversity to lineups. There's really no reason it's been this long since we've gotten one.

Yeah the possibilities are endless. Duos add some much creativity to lineup building and hype around certain players. I'm real bummed that 2k fell asleep on these.

Re: Dynamic Duos Done?

Love the dynamic duo concept if theyre appropriate duos like they would be in real life.... wade/lbj, stockton/malone, jordan/pippen etc.

In fact tbh, dynamic duos is one of the best concepts in the game imo.

Its so nasty that rookie penny can be used with that diamond shaq and still give a lot of teams problems.

2k18 could make this concept amazing if it wanted

2K17 could. It's already here. That Jay Williams & Dunleavy duo lasted on my main team up until I got an amethyst PG. Like it was worth me having a Gold in my lineup all the way until the Amethyst seed.

Too late for 2k17, its all star weekend coming up and they've dropped the ball on it i think. Too many ****ty and meaningless duos out there also...rookie MJ and Phil Jackson? Cmon 2k, thats stupid. Im talking real duos from back in the day to current.

A lakers kobe and pau duo from there championship era.

A Zo and LJ from back in the day.

Stockton and Malone.

Duncan and Parker.

2k18 they could even bring in chemistry boosts for 3 players. Im liking the idea of Spurs ginobili, duncan and parker, the warriors of this year klay durant and curry, the big 3 at the heat, the 3 at the cavs comeback from 3-1, the celtics championships allen pierce and garnett, and whatever else you can think of that actually make sense on the court.

This would be absolutely crazy playing with these simulation type duos, instead of a kyrie irving and... kidd gilchrist? Smh. Kat and Simmons? Smh.

Re: Dynamic Duos Done?

They don't care, people are spending money without the need to use duo's. If it don't equal more money then 2k don't care about it.

Re: Dynamic Duos Done?

If it isn't bringing profit, they stop it. People are ripping through packs like the lottery and will continue to do so. This means 2K can just sit back and not have to worry about doing too much. Notice how dormant the 2K MyTEAM twitter has gotten.

Re: Dynamic Duos Done?

There was a "wingmen" theme pack. At least there I expected new duos. But as it was said, it's 2K. Counting money.

Imagine how much more fun it would be if players could have multiple duos (so the same Wade could have a duo with Shaq or with Lebron). And they could even have secret duos, where nothing pops up saying "hey, go find this other turd and put them in the same lineup and these two cards are almost playable!" like it does now. Like if you had Jordan and Worthy in the same lineup and you get them on the court and they have a duo boost active.

I'd also look at either making the early duos more playable toward the late game, or making it to where with current duos, every subsequent version of the card is a duo with every subsequent version of his duo's card. So Ruby Steph and Ruby Klay have a duo just like Sapphire Steph and Emerald Klay.

Multiple duos would be cool. If say, Wade went to the Cavs at the mid season trade in a few weeks....pretty sure Wade and Lebron would have some on court chemistry going on still.

And hell yeah, no doubt about it there should be duos with each subsequent version of a duos card.

Amethyst Curry and Ruby Klay duo? Sounds awesome.

And just to mention my previous idea of having a triplet duo, and combining your idea of duo badges on each subsequent moments card...can you imagine a triplet duo of amethyst curry, ruby play and amethyst KD? And if klay goes off and gets himself an amethyst moments card? lol I'm far from a warriors fan, but just as a current day example, that would be crazy

That's how it should be. It would also add value to those cards relative to the Diamond TMac and Penny and the like.

Yeah, when they do duos people will just use the AH to buy they other player they need instead of buying packs. That does not help 2k sell packs. New players do.

Re: Dynamic Duos Done?

Multiple duos and unlimited duos. It should not be restricted to 1 duo per line up.

Imagine

Irving (boost from LeBron)
Wade (boost from LeBron and Bosh)
LeBron (boost from Wade AND Irving)
Bosh (boost from Wade and Whiteside)
Whiteside (boost from Bosh and Wade)

Instead of making OP boosts like +100-150 from one player just make it +50 from each player.

Then we will see cool MyTeam line ups like the one above. A Heat/Cavs squad with all of LeBrons teammates.

Re: Dynamic Duos Done?

I LOVE THEMES. WHAT IF T-Mac never left the Magic?

Penny (Boost from T-Mac and Hill)
McGrady (Boost from Hill)
Grant Hill (Boost from Penny)
Maggette (Boost from T-Mac and Miller)
Dwight (Boost from Miller)

Mike Miller (Boost from T-Mac, Corey, Dwight)

You can make it to where this themes boost is they just had to play with each other to get the boost. So Maggette played with Hill, Miller played with T-Mac, etc.

Honestly, I recall this being one of the things MyTeam was trying to sell in 2k15. What if Shaq stayed on the Lakers? What if LeBron never left Cleveland, etc.

This would make MyTeam so much cooler, the problem is it encourages people to collect teams and be done, but they can make it to where any version of KD/Kyrie gets the boost you know. That way people have incentive to go crazy once a new one drops. It's not like it doesn't make sense to do this.

What if Harden stayed in OKC?
