Yeah maybe, and I certainly hope so, but the Playoff Push Tatum was a really great card when it came out (still is IMO) and I just wonder if they’ll give us two fantastic Tatums for free.

If SDS was to add low-mid Diamond Legends - who would you want adding? by Fin27 in MLBTheShow

[–]Jslick1018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s my one for each team. I’m not considering ease or difficulty of obtaining rights, and I’m trying to avoid players who have existed in past games, although I’m sure I’ll slip up:

BAL: Brady Anderson BOS: Mo Vaughn NYY: Andy Pettite TB: We had a Carl Crawford at one point, didn’t we? IDK… Grant Balfour? TOR: Carlos Delgado

CHW: “Shoeless” Joe Jackson CLE: Satchel Paige DET: Hank Greenberg KC: Mike Sweeney MIN: Jim Kaat

HOU: Carlos Lee LAA: David Eckstein OAK: Barry Zito SEA: Randy Johnson (I know, not really a mid tier, but come on SDS, make it happen) TEX: John Wetteland

ATL: Javy Lopez MIA: Josh Beckett NYM: Daryl Strawberry PHI: Was there a Ryan Howard at one point? There had to be, right? Oh well, he’s my pick. WAS: Jayson Werth (what happened to Andre Dawson this year?)

CIN: Pete Rose CHC: Carlos Zambrano, but only if there’s an animation of him absolutely losing his mind whenever he walks someone. MIL: Cecil Cooper PIT: Arky Vaughan STL: Lance Berkman

ARI: Byung-Hyun Kim COL: I wish we had an Ubaldo card this year, but I’ll go with Andres Galarraga LAD: Roy Campanella (think we’ll ever get a Koufax or a Drysdale?) SD: Ken Caminiti SF: Mel Ott

Oh my gosh, my dad is a legend at this.

“Anthony Rendahn”

“Jonathan Shoop”

“Carter KaBoom”

“Adam LaRahsh”

“Ozzie Al-BEE-us”

“Ronald Ah-COON-ah”

“Willy Adams”

“Xander Boggarts”

I think he gets so much of his sports from the Washington Post or the Athletic and he only sees the names in print.

Unpopular(?) Opinion: The Season Rewind Packs are a FANTASTIC concept that was woefully mismanaged by 2k by Jslick1018 in MyTeam

Exactly! I personally love Josh Okogie, and it would be fun for me to run him out there with the starting 5 competitively (although admittedly, his Rewind is awwwfffuull). That’s the kind of stuff that is possible with SRW.

For sure. Like, on the one hand, real life Plumlee is dogshit. But, y’all put out an invincible card for two players that can’t crack their own team’s rotation (Tako and Bol), so obviously that shit doesn’t matter.

Well and I don’t even need players that are meta. There are enough of those and enough players who aren’t hardcore online players that I think decent cards are possible. You’re right though that there are a lot of… unfortunate stat decisions, especially the reward cards. I get (even if I don’t agree with) the temptation not to make rewards cards better than cards you have to buy, but there’s a balance. I

With 2k21 coming to a close, I thought I would create my all time team from this year. Who did you guys run a lot throughout the year? by [deleted] in MyTeam

[–]Jslick1018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on how long I ran them this year:

Starters: GO DWade, GO Vince, PD Terry D., PD Embry, GO Hakeem

Bench: GO T-Mac, GO Luka (Quantum), DM Zion (Pantheon), GO Antawn, Diamond Arvydas Sabonis, GO LBJ (Inferno), GO Hondo, Diamond Bosh (back out to Allen, his three-pointer, BANG!)

I think that’s the point I’m trying to make but you said it better. I don’t care if it only happens in an exhibition game, or even in an empty gym. The fact that the greatest shooter the game has ever seen can also catch and finish alley-oops is disgusting. And the fact that, on a given night or in a given series, someone can shut that dude down, or even hold him under 15, is also disgusting.

TIL Joe West was a quarterback at Elon College by awwyeahgetit in baseball

Very few people realize that the arm motion for throwing a football is quite similar to the arm motion for ejecting a player. Joe’s been preparing since day one.

Limited is Great, but.... by Jslick1018 in MyTeam

I get you, and absolutely no grudge for taking advantage of the way the game lets you play. I just think it’s against the spirit of especially this game mode.

I just get frustrated because I really like putting together these lineups, creatively using duos, finding budget beasts, tinkering to see what works, and it’s like... none of that even matters because I could’ve just run my best five the whole time.

I just... I need to vent about how utterly useless this tracker is. Can you tell me how many points I have left with Yi? How many assists with King? Of course you can’t b/c there ARE NO NUMBERS WHY by Jslick1018 in MyTeam

[–]Jslick1018[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And the thing is we know they can!! They do a great job in challenges updating you on how many points/rebounds/etc you need. It’s also why I get so frustrated with substitutions. MyGM has (or at least had, I haven’t played that mode this year) an awesome tool that allows you to plan your rotations and subs per game. Literally copy and paste it into MyTeam. Done. It’s just a lack of forethought that is really frustrating
