Tried a bit of myTeam tonight. loving awful. Defense is impossible. Scrublords like Nemanja Nedovic shooting 80% from 3. Pablo Prigioni dropping 35 on 80% shooting from the field (6 minute quarters). The second game I played, the opposing team shot 70% from the field. poo poo is infuriating.

I'm mad at video games for how bad I am in MyTeam. I played the first game against the Jazz in Domination mode with 4 silvers and a gold player and still lost. Was up 10 in the 1st Q and thought it was easy. Up 5 at the half and then down 5 half way through the 3rd. Missed a game tying 3 at the buzzer, not that I would have won in OT anyway.

Ok maybe im an idiot but I need help here because ive just completed two long rear end challenges only to not qualify. Where do I find what I actually need to do to complete the challenges?

For example under win requirements for the Big Man challenge it just tells you who youre facing, not whatever the objective is. Lineup restrictions are not to include centers and Im assuming Power Forwards arent counting as centers so how did I fail?

Did the server just crap out? Seems like something happening currently.

Pretty easy to end up starting, at least in my first go round. Finished my 2nd 10 day and got signed, maybe a week later I was starting. Never in the previous games did I get better than a B+ or get more than 18 points or 10 boards at center. I was a 66 OVR, Phoenix must hate Plumlee.

Now that the servers are working MyTeam is pretty fun. I've got a good lineup going of Kyrie, Monta, Giannis, Cousins, and Sanders. The only thing is its getting tough to 3 star these domination matches. I can barely break 700 in 6 min quarters. What's the best way to consistently get high scores in this? There's no way to change to longer quarters is there?
Need to pile up fast break+asst+made shot+layups. If you're confident you'll win, sag off everyone on D or trap and try to get the opponent to shoot as quickly as possible. Asst+post move gets you a bunch of points, but sometime the post move takes too long and you don't get the assist. Basically assist on every basket and run and gun.

I also feel like my players can't score at the basket at all yet the cpu scores at will in the post. Like I have an open cut to the basket and I run in to hit a lay up and the lay up rolls off the rim for whatever reason. Like posting up on Brandon Jennings with my Center should yield positive results but it they nope.

I especially notice it on putback attempts, which the CPU drains them and my guys clank it.

Anyway anyone have advice on how to get more points I domination? I can pull down like 550 with a cast of crappy players but I'm wondering if even with good players anything the Lakers and beyond is tough.
I think I posted before, but get as many fast break+assist+layup+made shot combos as you can. Post move scores count a lot, but you risk not getting the assist. Assist on every shot. Get the other team to shoot as fast as possible by pressing or double teaming. If you trust your offense enough you can even let them score to get the ball back faster. As an extension of that, crash the offensive glass as O rebounds count a lot too, if they beat you back for a layup, oh well. Make all your free throws.

Yeah, my second myplayer was told after his first game after signing for the year he was getting more minutes. After the 2nd game they told him he was starting. He's 68 OVR starting ahead of 79 Kevin Martin. Now it's no fun to play 5 minutes a game for months, but I think that's still a bit early to start. I'd have been okay with being the 6th or 7th man for a bit longer.

Anybody getting some terrible trajectory shots from just off the base line? If it's a corner 3 the shots are fine, a few feet in and over (towards half court) and I start hitting the side of the backboard. I've literally shot it behind the backboard a couple times too.

That being said, I'd assume you got enough MT points while beating the Jazz for 3 stars, since the threshold is pretty low.

Was nice to get 3 free packs yesterday from what I assume is a makeup for those that didn't get the rookie KD when they were supposed to.

I really wish that MyTeam had a mode where you played the AI, but with random opponents rosters. The Show has that in their card collecting mode and it's great. It's so hard to like MyTeam when playing online is so muddy and bad.
Or that there's something to continue doing on single player MyTeam. Once you beat the challenges and domination mode, then what? They have the framework with the playoff seeding thing for player vs player series, they need to do the same for offline.

I go with 10 minute quarters in MC. It's enough to get us to average 100ppg. The computer tends to use way more of the shot clock than a usual team, but that's balanced out by my calling for it and heroballing once half the shot clock is up. Stats wise your team ends up at the bottom of the league in boards and turnovers, but the rest of the stats are reasonable, to me at least.

Edit: that's what I do the first full season. When you first start and you spend a bunch of time on the bench I leave it because my stats will be wack anyway and I can get to FA faster

edit edit: I also enjoy your description changing as you skill up from Raw Whatever. I just turned from "All Round Shooting Guard" to "Lockdown Defender." That puts me in the category with NBA greats Tony Allen and Avery Bradley, yikes.

Have the same "problem" as last year where I keep switching back and forth between a post up center, a deadeye SF, a slashing SG, and a passing PG.

I did fix one of my annoyances from last year though. Was a 6'3" PG last year and got played as a SG at least 1/2 my minutes. This year as a 5'8" PG that never happens. I get a cheap thrill running the pick and roll with Channing Frye and continually hitting him down the lane where he gets his weak poo poo rejected constantly by teams with real frontcourts.

Also when you poke the ball lose and your guys stares it long enough before moving that the guy you got it from beats you to the ball. Add to that the times you knock it out of bounds... My guy has the gold Interceptor and Pick Pocket badges but it's still tough to pile up steals.

I wouldn't always go for boards depending on your size. My PG is 5'8" and if I go for a defensive board, the rest of team will just stand there and assume I'll get it and usually I'll get a hand on it but the other team will pop it loose and grab it.

It's the assistant for me. Yeah, I had 18 ASTs when he ripped me for my 3 TOs. I'm amuzed when he says "nice job shutting him down" because I have literally no idea how the guy I'm guarding's doing unless I get a pop up with his stats. Even though I have 20 bricks in D I spend the game trolling for blocks and steals, which usually allows a bunch of points for him unless I get a bunch of blocks from behind.

Only played one game, but the things that stood out...

Pick and roll as the ball handler seems a lot different. The three other people in the play move differently and it isn't as effective, although it doesn't seem like it's broken or anything, I'll just have to do things differently.

We scored way more than usual. I play 10 minute quarters and the games usually end up with the winning team scoring 90-105 points. Today we scored 120 and shot 53%, so it wasn't like we were at some ludicrous %. I think the CPU shoots faster. It seemed 75% of the time before that they'd shoot with less than 3 seconds left in the 24, but not as much today.

They actually passed it back out after an offensive rebound. As a guard, if a shot goes up for us, I just run back on D because any offensive rebound will go right back up. This time they passed it, whoa.

Other quick things, the overlays do show up, shots from the baseline still hit the side of the backboard when they're off, and my Myplayer substitution pattern was different.

Fouls are up too. The patch notes said they would be, I actually had to be careful about fouling out. It happened more on contesting shots than reach-ins. I reflexively jump at any shot, even if I have no chance to block it, but will have to adjust that. On the other hand, I went to the line a ton at the other end.

After the first season I went with Houston, but I was after the team I could get the most assists on, not sure what your goal is. I was disappointed in Howard on offense, he misses some easy ones, but Ariza and Harden are open at the 3pt line a lot and are pretty accurate. I also tend to be open for 3s a bunch too.

I have 4 myplayers in the 80s and stretch 4 was the slowest at times. It takes a lot of VC to raise your outside shot and you hardly get any open looks away from the basket anyway. I just got as many rebounds and set as many picks as I could to keep my grades up until I could do it with scoring.
