1. Depends, go through each of the playbooks and see which ones has the most plays(like cutters, pick and roll, etc.) according to your playstyle.

2. I ran Ray McCallum-Goran Dragic-Darius Miller-Pero Antic-Rudy Gobert through the early seeds. My bench guys were Morrow, Troy Daniels, Nazr Mohammed, Ekpe Udoh, Austin Rivers. Just be wary that some of those players above cost a decent amount as a bronze.

3. MT has more value than VC because MT guarantees you players. If you want to use MT on packs, use it to a moderate extent. With how crappy packs are for everybody, it's not worth it to spend a crazy amount of MT in hopes of getting a high cost player.

4. They're called 'Points of Emphasis' in game. Again, it depends on how you play on offense and defense, adjust accordingly.

5. Play a few domination games and offline games if you want to familiarize yourself with how your team plays. If you don't care about finetuning and you feel you're already a decent player, jump into RTTP right away. It's your call. Although I would recommend finishing Domination once you hit the seeds that allows you to use golds, as the aforementioned mode can give you a solid foundation of gold players to start off. Most people get players in the range of Lebron/Durant/CP3/Duncan/Melo/Paul George when they finish RTTP, so there's the incentive to grind through RTTP.

My lasting advice would be to stay patient throughout the time you spend on myteam, there's gonna be times when you get a great pull from a pack, and then there are times when you disconnect from a RTTP game after being up 20. I don't want to sound like I'm pushing you away from dedicating time on RTTP, but hear me out, imho, 2k's myteam mode is the most frustrating virtual card game out of all the popular virtual cards sports games(like Madden, FIFA) out there. Just a warning before hand, sometimes there's bs you have to deal such as glitches in the auction house, the 'unfairness' of locker codes, 3 point chuckers, random disconnects and error messages that can really deter the experience.
