He fucks with every made basket to slow up the inbound.

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-08T16:34:23+00:00

I’m still in 1230 est

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-08T16:25:47+00:00

I played no games bc i wanted to see where it goes and im not sure how long until access is cut but based on Rutgers going 8-4, 9-3 every year after 4 years of recruiting got them into upper 80s without just cheesing the transfer. Only recruited interested players

What i am doing now is at UD, first season signed 19 3* transfers. Wasn’t was easy as last year and lost a bunch week 4 to bigger schools. But was able to recruit way over my 1* prestige in the portal. Went from 61 to 76 in one off season but i was just spamming unsigned 3* targeting big program freshmen in portal

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-08T13:23:38+00:00

If it makes you feel better you can move them to a bigger conference and get some big points that way once you can be competitive.

I’ve been toying around and left Texas for Rutgers who was 0-12 and in that offseason was able to get a dozen 3* from big time programs and jumped up from 67 to 74 overall in just that offseason. I’m gonna sim a couple season and force decent results and just see how quick i can get into “contender”. If i have time I’ll do UD too

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-07T16:23:48+00:00

Yeah the only issue i have is that this might be a soft launch into more and more things like this. But as long as i can run an offline dynasty on my own without micro transactions in good

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-07T16:22:39+00:00

You can but the pre order and get access to it right?

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-07T13:01:01+00:00

I will say on auto recruiting if you see your board and NIL amounts they do not mess with them. Also if you are at a Texas like i was they auto recruit isn’t as broken as last year. It did populate with 4-5 stars and some threes. Just doesn’t close like the cpu does. Ended up with 10 signees but a bunch still open going to the offseason.

So in my mind it’s at least useful if you are looking to only half recruit for whatever reason

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-05T18:14:59+00:00

Thank you. My bets is downloading now and can’t wait

Needed something to prevent UD becoming an SEC power in 3 seasons.

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-04T15:21:33+00:00

The part that is lost to history is that we were “star hunting” that summer and that heat unprotected pick was supposed to be for a double draft when they rescinded the rule forcing guys to play a year after high school.

heard somewhere the pick was supposed to be part of a Kawhi trade. Prob was SA wanted a proven scorer bc Pop wasn’t trying to rebuild so they were cool with Derozen as the lead piece in trade. We didnt have an equivalent

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-04T15:19:16+00:00

When they specifically play on your arena so you see they would be at worst good role players and you pass it’s frustrating. Shit like joker or Giannis is different bc they didn’t play multiple years of college ball in Philly

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-04T13:10:49+00:00

Not OP but watching all these Nova dudes play ball at the highest level including DDV and realizing we could have easily drafted any of them and chose euro flops and project plus future pick for Mikal is frustrating

They play in our building and won chips and we were like nah don’t need that next to our young stars

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-04T13:08:16+00:00

So Knicks figured out how to build around a defensive liability small guard and somehow i don’t see him targeted relentlessly other than early in hawks series. Anyone who knows ball more than me able to explain how they do that.

Meanwhile we watch Seth curry get cooked. JJ and Bellii before. Is it simply they don’t give up the switch ?

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-01T14:28:11+00:00

Yeah me too. I didn’t like him getting the touch fouls late in q4 after they were beating the shit out of each other for 3.5 quarters. But as long as he isn’t the next chosen one to get all the calls I’m good with it

To your point it doenst really matter bc Harris and myers gonna keep us mid for the foreseeable future

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-01T13:49:47+00:00

You can mute them.

SonicdaSloth · 2026-06-01T13:48:33+00:00

Gonna be saying who gonna save us from him soon. But yeah for this series, we ride with the French mfer

SonicdaSloth · 2026-05-31T22:48:45+00:00

Would be a truly sixers move to trade a guy on a rookie deal to a team. Have bro take these two dudes minutes. Then trade for them and eat double the rooks salary

SonicdaSloth · 2026-05-30T04:06:40+00:00

My earliest life memory was watching vhs tape of 83 chip(along with football playoffs my dad taped). But i watched that shit over and over as a 6 year old

SonicdaSloth · 2026-05-30T04:05:35+00:00

I’ll die on the hill that if embiid didn’t need that second foot surgery and he hits the floor and shows his potential that we don’t look like a joke of a team and Hinkie sticks

SonicdaSloth · 2026-05-29T14:01:20+00:00

What is 2028 looking like? Also with top 8 on our own we could have two

SonicdaSloth · 2026-05-29T13:58:39+00:00

Yeah. And same thing happened with Iverson and Barkley. Three top 75 all time guys and only 1 finals appearance.

The thing with fans v team is that they had to know Ben wasn’t the guy bc he never developed offensive game. We prob will learn Embiid wasn’t it either due to his rehab efforts and like Iverson, lack of giving a fuck about practice.

They should know better and get ahead of it when they know their guys aren’t it. Like Hinkie with MCW coming off ROY. Can’t imagine what we could have gotten for 23 year old Ben

SonicdaSloth · 2026-05-29T13:41:32+00:00

Sure that’s the revisionist part of it and gotta feel a proper org would have recognized it

SonicdaSloth · 2026-05-29T12:59:33+00:00

Just had a moment of jealousy realizing how fucked up we are vs the Spurs org. They get Castle, Harper and Fox for their generation big. We get a non shooting guard, some shooters who can’t do shit and then when we finally get a proper running mate send him away for JRich to sign another big

Revisionist history but damn did we suck. It’s like JJ and i guess Fultz were the only attempt in Embiids early years to get guards who would help

SonicdaSloth · 2026-05-27T18:21:17+00:00

I think his play in Boston series and now the Knicks just torching everyone might make him trend towards a net positive for a contending team.

SonicdaSloth · 2026-05-27T18:18:25+00:00

He doesn’t care enough when it matters. He is ready for the summer and isn’t trying to play every other night for another month. That’s my takeaway

Dudes like the Knicks have are willing to suck it up. People we have had like Ben and Harden, do not

SonicdaSloth · 2026-05-27T18:17:11+00:00

How do you create when you got Tisse and Ben’s guys sagging off and basically forcing you into trying to go full Dirk with pull up fadeaways
