    I need more midrange from him..not sure why he and harden both forget they have a good midrange sometimes....it clearly opens up a game for both of them

    They are running Morey type of offense in which states a 3 pointer is a better shot than a 2 point jump shot. I've argued on here that any point is better than 0. That we should shoot more mid range jumpers as well. But so many fans only believes in Morey's philosophy verse playing basketball.

    Yea they are always behind on the players. Capela could’ve gotten more than one moments card too. Atleast theres a diamond jimmy :D

    Not sure if theres ever going to be a GGreen since he wasn’t on any roster at the beginning of the season:(

    Somebody should open a 2K thread in hangout or somewhere else if there’s not already one:p

    That would be great, Can't wait for the 2K19 all time Rockets team.

    Paul
    Harden
    McGrady
    Horry
    Hakeem

    replacing Kenny Smith or Calvin Murphy in the starting lineup with CP3 might make it the second best team in the game.

    BTW, has anyone tried a lineup of Smith-Harden-Drexler-McGrady-Hakeem? IDK if it would work but TMac is 6'9" and may play some minutes at PF, he'd provide much needed spacing and a pretty insane mismatch against most PFs.

    It’s currently

    Harden,Tmac,Clyde,Hakeem,Yao

    And i can’t beat that all-time domination rockets team. I’ve easily tried 10 times. SO frustrating. I’ve tried smith, don’t like him. Tmac too expensive. Drexler not available if you’re not PD in supermax. Hakeem only has a 85 card so far. But i guess you aren’t talking MyTeam.

    Yao and dream just keep pooping on me. :(

    Someone should definitely get a meeting with Morey and make sure he sees this post. I wonder if it has ever occurred to him that "any point is better than 0." This is the equivalent of Einstein writing down the theory of relativity.

    Let's put a formula together for Morey:
    X=points

    Nah I stay away from that. I live on Play Now Online.
    you really should be able to see what your opponents team is and be able to switch before the game begins. EG: If you are going with the '03 Mavs or the '09 Magic, and some kid rolls up on you with the '04 Lakers, '16 Warriors, or '13 Heat, or heavens forbid, the All time Warriors/Lakers, you should be able to switch to a more powerful team, or vice versa if they are using a weaker team.

    Also there need to be WAY more tiers, it makes no sense that the '08 Nuggets and '01 Raptors are in the same tier as the '01 Lakers and '96 Bulls.

    1. Clearly there is a mental aspect to the game where going through scoring droughts which 'only 3 and layups' is susceptible to, where any midrange or postup is more efficient than 3 pt because these give wings to the opponents and crush the confidence of your team spiraling into 3 and layps not functioning because the equation is lacking 'mental' and 'momentum' elements of the game

    2. its even lacking the physicality of the game element, because as the game and season progresses 3 pt and layups become less efficient because of tired legs

    After my post i was like „give it another try“ was close till 4th but then hakeem couldn’t miss and yao got pretty much every board. I just can’t beat this team... never had any troubles before

    Schedule rewards are bs anyway and not worth it
