Got a dumb question while I count the minutes until im off and can actually play. If i choose a type am i locked out of other badges? Like if I'm a defensive stopper can i still do pick and roll maestro or whatever?

It's probably known but i just found out the hard way so just fyi to those playing MyTeam. You just start off with 2 or 3 really good free agents but CAN NOT resign them to contracts so the 5 games you have them are best spent in domination mode as the first challenges you have access to are pretty easy with the basic starter scrubs

The last team on Historic Domination is such bullshit but goddamn I cant stop trying to finish for all the stars :(


Seriously this is the most unfun thing ive put myself through since the old SNK fighting game bosses. How the gently caress does anyone beat this team with enough MT points to get 3 stars

MyLeague is much better than myGM. You have none of that stuff.

So this week's myTeam challenge has "Get 12 rebounds in this game. You start in the 4th quarter, and it's 6 minute quarter". The oppposing team only took 11 shots. It's ridiculous, I only got like 5 rebounds in my playthrough.

Just did it this morning. Key is giving them enough room to take a bad shot and taking the quickest shot possible on your end. Ended up with about 15.

The blocks challenge a few weeks ago i found fuckin impossible though

I read they patched it this year as well but I never used post moves in the past so I couldnt tell you if its unpatched. I basically just used a combo of Greg Monroe, Rookie Garnett, and KAT to get Kareem and Shaq in foul trouble

Id say steals and blocks are much better now. You really notice the ball physics. Sometimes it does lead to bullshit blocks when the other person jumps early and jump before theyre completely back on the ground

MyTeam online for me has improved dramatically since I started focusing on building my teams like I do on MyGm with defense first


what the gently caress it was stuck on search so I restarted my ps4 and they tagged me with a loss and used up a contract. :mad:

Just got the game on sale. They took away my two favorite parts of myteam, player quality restrictions when climbing the ladder and dynamic cards ... great. Now I have to grind out a bunch of dominations to even be able to start in the bronze league. Also whoever designed the player cards this year should be fired. Anyone got any budget recs for a cheap starting 5 I have some silver scrubs and emerald Bogut.

e- Any big gameplay changes from last year I should know? Stealing is now possible I guess?

Kemba walker is usually cheap and is drat good on myteam same with Bazemore. Despite his avg stats randy Wittman is cheap and a boarding machine

Oh I forgot Pau Gasol is good and cheap too. I leaned on him heavy most of the first part of Domination


Also ymmv because his rating is garbage (as it should be) but for some reason I kill it with Lance Stephenson every year. He can drive past most defenders his size and if you have him against a smaller defender he can post them easily. Only thing he seems to not be able to do is shoot 3's.

Do you get a challenge token for doing all the moment's challenge?

Giannis's market is inflated now so I don't think I'll bother with that one otherwise.

Nah and that challenge is over I think. Just get a shitload of MT.

I like the moments challenges much better even if it does inflate markets, because I can just turn around and get my mt back or more once I complete it :frogbon:


give me those over the "can you hold a 8 point lead against the 76ers?????" challenges

Does anybody else experience having players (including myself, having played mostly mycareer) remain in the game after their sixth foul, often until the next timeout? It's cool to get bonus stat-line stuffer but it's somewhat ridiculous, although I haven't earned a seventh foul yet.

Funny that JUST happened to me for the first time and had no clue wtf. I have fouled out twice before though so maybe the recent update screwed it up?

Anyone tried the moments wall challenge. Seems like a major pain in the rear end. Also the new Drummond card looks absolutely ridiculous. My ultimate goal is to get the best Mutombo card and Isaiah Thomas card and then build a team around that. Isaiah will be cheap soon enough but when will the Mutombo Ruby card drop? He's historic and the historic packs alternate or something?

Yea I do enjoy trying the challenges but man they either got to let you try on pro or turn fatigue down some. Its hard as gently caress scoring 50 with one guy especially with the adapt engine
