    My Team Online Impressions after full night of playing

    So i spent most of the night playing My Team online matches after unlocking the AH. Here are my thoughts:

    1) Gameplay is MUCH more realistic:
    If you rely on shooting too many 3's or getting greens....you will get crushed. It's not like last year when you're open its an automatic bucket. You really have to work to get good looks and as of now scoring in the paint is more effective.

    2) Offball Defense is no longer OP
    : Had a few guys that tried to play offball and if you have to good ballhandler, he will just blow right by them. CPU defense isn't as smart as last year.

    3) You can play with an unrestricted lineup until Supermax Season starts on Sept 22nd
    : So once you get done with your placement matches, you can play "Preseason" games with an unrestricted lineup until the actual supermax season starts. This is pretty nice for trying out lots of players

    4) Coach Proficiency System really matters: I chose Defense for my coach system and guys like Shaq and CP3 get a big ratings boost in lots of areas because they match the system. When i had Kyrie, his rating went down 1 overall because he didn't fit in the system. So make sure you are using players that fit your system.

    5) Servers a very choppy: Right now the servers are very laggy and the games have been choppy and spotty. This is a bummer since the gameplay is so good. I just hope they get this sorted out soon. I lost 1 game because of the lag.


    I went 4-1 in my placement matches and got placed in the Sapphire league for Supermax once it starts. Haven't run into anyone that has tried 5 out yet, but based on what I saw in the prelude it won't work.

    Oh yea, and Kevin Durant is damn near unstoppable right now. If you can KD i suggest you do. His defense is much better this year and with the new triple threat moves his offense is on another level. Easily my favorite player right now. It doesn't matter if they play offball or onball.....KD gets buckets.

    Hey Earv are you saying that the number it shows on the bottom of the card for coach proficiency score is what the cards rating gets boosted or downgraded to?

        No, the number on the bottom of the card is how well they fit into the system. However, that number will have an effect on their actual rating. For example, i think Kyrie Defense proficiency is below 50....so if you play him in a Defense system his overall rating drops from 86 to 85. Gotta be careful when building teams.

        Also i dont understand why Kawhi only has a 75 for Defense proficiency when he is the best defender in the league and plays under Coach Pop...

          Ok gotcha. Thanks. I'll mess around with some lineups. Regarding kawhi I noticed the same n was very surprised. It's more grit n grind for him

              I played 3 games online so far and really enjoyed my experience. It was very smooth and all the moves were very responsive. 2k17 was horrible online the first month or so. Really no complaints atm but i only played a handlful of games.

                Yeah, I'm kind of amazed at how stable everything has been

                  I'm too lazy to dig up that thread in the main forum on Post Play but, man, it is DRAMATICALLY more fluid and generally more effective than it has ever been.

                  The timing window for chaining actions is way more forgiving and just feels really natural and intuitive. I've ripped all kinds of really nice fakes into "Up & Under" secondary shots without even using RS, but just Shoot and LS. And, still...extremely effective.

                  Along with timing being more forgiving, the moves are also more effective. Guys lean further away from their plant foot and stretch arms way out, so that release point of shots is meaningfully altered. You cannot defend in the paint by standing still with hands up.

                  Even taking a standing fadeaway jumper is very useful now, whereas before I thought it was just fodder for highlight blocks. It actuates way more quickly and I think creates a little more distance, so defenders are going to really have to read and react.

                  I selected the Post Starter Pack and have been dropping big points with Pau Gasol in the paint. Just against CPU and mostly on Rookie, so not a good measure, but still.

                    Played some pack and playoffs. Don't know how a guy drafted 4 bigs with AD at SG. Didn't seem to have any punishments. Somehow those bigs boys were beating my guys down the court after i score.

                    I wonder what difficulty it is. Wiggins was posting and scoring on AD pretty easily also.

                      From what i understand, that mode is like blacktop. ITs on rookie or pro. All the players you get are random. I was running with 4 PGs and AD at center. Pretty stupid honestly but i think there is some strategy to it as far as keeping players because if you pass on a gold center you might not get another one and will be stuck with a emerald PG.

                        Well, it's random, so it's entirely possible that, if a player bypasses a Guard first couple of times because his other draw is a much better Big, he may only draw pairs of bigs in last couple draws.

                        I ended up drawing a small team with Giannis at 4 and Myles Turner at 5. And I got Turner on my last draw, so I conceivably could have had to run Giannis at 5.

                          Only thing is he started fullcourt press. It sucks when Blake and AD were just fullcourt pressing kawhi no problem at all. Almost lost to some cheese tactics.

                          Was also looking to see if guys get punishment for playing out of position or coach system. But his AD seemed fine playing at sg.

                            Pack and playoffs - I hv noticed this too. It's super casual settings. I played against ad too. What I don't understand is how bigs run more fast breaks in this game than fcking wings. What kinda concept is that. After every made basket, he was able to full court pass to AD and freaking my Lebron couldn't catch up to it. I was getting really frustrated. I was down by double digits till I figured some **** out only to lose the game by 3. It was my first game so I'm ok with it but I guess I'm gonna hv to anticipate this from now on.

                              Sounds like good impressions so far for gameplay! Thanks for the write-up. If myteam can be a more sim basketball experience I will get back into it. The offball news is very interesting, I hope to expose weak onball then. Can anyone tell me if they removed 5 out this year? Also, are the play calling and sub menus improved?
