Week 8 Challenge lineup

[Jmaneb]

I am looking for advice on a good, low-level lineup to use to finish the Week 8 challenge. You have to beat Blazers @ Portland by 15 or more. I went with 3-guard lineup with only one true big, but obviously getting out-rebounded a lot. Any suggestions/lineups/playing styles you used to succeed are welcome.

whats your actual lineup bro?

Re: Week 8 Challenge lineup

Lillard, McCollum, and Leonard are all terrible at defense. Use your athleticism to blow by them and get to the rim.

The AI will run almost all of its offense through Lillard and McCollum, so make sure you have players with the defensive stopper badge at those positions.

Its on pro difficulty so it aint too hard to outscore them. Steals are also super easy, i got 9 steals with Trey Burke before and his rating was 50+.

Kristaps is pretty cheese for pro cpu. I also use silver JR, Drose and Joakim.

Re: Week 8 Challenge lineup

blazers challenge is on all star and i swear the computer cheats i had to play it 3x up by 20 both times at one point but then they just get every offensive rebound in the 2nd half

Re: Week 8 Challenge lineup

This challenge is ridiculous Turner blowing by me like he's LBJ and like dude said them getting every rebound and making every shot . I tried it twice could only beat them by 10 11. I'll go all defense and try it again tomorrow.

Re: Week 8 Challenge lineup

First attempt I failed because Dellavedova was too slow against Lillard, so only won by 9pts. I swapped him out for Lowry and won by a lot.

team: Lowry/Hield/Barnes/PG13/Gortat
Galloway/Richardson/Dudley/MWilliams/Embid

Honestly lillard is the only real offensive danger. I basically set my bigs to "stay attached" on hedge settings, then read when the screens come up and stick to him like glue. Had him on the cold streak circle twice. Mccollum is harmless if you manually switch to his defender when you see the offball screen play coming up.

Re: Week 8 Challenge lineup

Been playing 2K since dreamcast...I can't f'ng shoot in this damn game. I don't play my park...but playing my team...these challenges...all were no big deal until the one against Portland to win by 15. Everyone on the blazers playing like damn all stars...ed Davis...give me a break...Plummle pulling rebounds and putting up putbacks like he's Shaq. And wide open Chris Paul can't knock down a 3 for his life for me. And why are the defenders so hard to get by? All the cross overs and escapes don't make anyone get out of position...or if they do they recover before anyone can attempt to get by.

I won by 11,12...but just can't get 15...if I play on ball on Millard and mcullum Lenard and Plummle somehow become bird and chamberlain and are unstoppable.

WTF 2K, this bull**** is not even enjoyable.

And in practice I can make open shots no problem...with many green releases.

Re: Week 8 Challenge lineup

haha I was up like 25 then their backup point guard who I never heard of transformed into Steph Curry to bring it to 14. Pulled out the A lineup for the next game and beat em by 40

What's the A lineup? Are they emeralds? Do you have to put badges on players?

I have Chris Paul at 1, jimmy butler at 2, kawhi Leonard at 3, Anthony Davis at 4 and white side at 5.

And the bench isn't bad either. But I don't use the badges or any of that.

when I'm doing challanges I usually use emeralds/golds but I used my 99 MTO lineup after getting screwed, I'll update my Sig, I should have Ben Wallace/Tim Duncan soon if I can stop pulling techs, I still need like 30k for Timmy

Re: Week 8 Challenge lineup

I ain't no 2K guru but I'd be surprised if the CPU doesn't get it's ratings boosted for final challenge vs user. Mason Plumlee with 12 and 10 at the half? Yeah right.
