Is Coach Phil even useable anymore?
-
With all these juiced cards out...is he even a viable option for a team? Seems to me that every new card that’s out is pretty much stacked at what he boost...who’s the better coach to go with now? Malone?
-
@12th yep we are a few releases away from Dantoni being back
-
@12th Pop is still pretty good ngl
-
@12th I'm glad I saved that MT tbh. 2 mil lock-in just for him to be outdated in two months is criminal imo
-
@jdealla yeah, i tend to think he’s starting to hurt my team more than help it. Might have to switch back D’antoni.
-
@sssnaps i might run pop, offense is super stacked right now...defense is where things are lacking
-
@rench3373 yeah, never again man....never again.
-
@12th bad thing is Dantoni is still hella expensive. I'm still using Vogel
-
@rench3373 I’m switching over to coach bud. When i look at my boost with my shoes, plus his boost on defense...most of my cards are full mid 90’s and up in almost every attribute. I prefer that balance right now over Phil’s.
-
@12th does he boost 3pt rating for all 5 positions? That's the main reason I'm sticking with Vogel.
-
looking at my team the only dude who needs the +10 3pt is Billy Owens, but even he doesn't really need the full +10 if Floor General is already +4
-
@quantumkat I have three point grinches on Billy, I'm good
-
@rench3373 Exactly why I kept my D'antoni. I knew that soon Phil would only be good for limited, theme teams, and 3pt challenges with iffy players.
-
@quantumkat Yeah for me it's Billy and Kareem. If I didn't like Kareem so much I'd run D'antoni fs. I miss my slashers fr fr.
-
@willsterile yeah i still have my MDA. I'll probably switch back tonight. Sad shit.
-
@quantumkat only 2k could get away with something like this. MLB The Show would never
-
@willsterile they should’ve let him upgrade badges or something. The coaches weren’t great.
-
@quantumkat yeah, but I feel like we all knew what we were getting into. It's definitely lame as hell, I'm just not too upset.
-
@12th I say he’s good for making sure you get sharp takeover
-
@ogxsuave all those sharps gets old tho. Kareem being a post is so fucking refreshing lol.
-
@willsterile yea I feel that but when it comes to competitive play I only value sharp take lol and shot everything else is bleh like my KD gets post and that’s crazy at Sg with the grit and grind coach
-
Speaking of coaches sheeesh ! He’s been 59-70k for Weeks !!
Glad I just looked him up
-
@ogxsuave yeah, it’s kinda wack though...you want a variety of take overs. The fact that this coach is pretty much useless now is pretty fucked up...but it is what it is i guess. I’ll never lock in for a coach again unless i know for a fact what he’s gonna do and it’s useable throughout the game.
-
@ogxsuave post KD at SG sounds wild lol. Yeah I feel that, I prefer having a slasher in my starters and a slasher on the bench personally.
-
@ogxsuave Oh fuck yeah
-
@willsterile yea lmao had to pull the trigger on that one I been waiting for a while to get him
-
D'antoni

@willsterile Feel like my whole team been sharp since the game dropped. Kind of like seeing Magic with Playmaker, Reem with post and Thon with shot creator.
I can't seem to get Rim on anyone though. I need to find a post I saw with all the takeover thresholds.
-
@kobe6rings yeah tf you do lol
-
@kobe6rings I’d I’m not mistaken I think rim is interior defense being the highest attribute I have that on Mel I think
-
@ogxsuave Okay bet I'll check it out.
-
I have not regretted locking Phil. Honestly the boosts are nice outside of 3PT. Basically all big men get 99 interior D and defensive rebounding which is a huge plus
-
Someone here said once they saw Paul Gasol with a jumper on very quick they weren’t going to lock it
-
@element yea the interior d boost and the 3 pt boost are some of my fav if it gave swb it would be no question
-
@element yeah I’m not regretting it, just wish he had a longer shelf life i guess.
-
Does anyone know the stat boosts from Diamond Bud?
-
@cantgetright it'll be the same stats as any of the lower defense coaches, just +5 instead. You can look on 2KDB too.
-
I’ll still be using Phil. I can’t go back to Diantoni solely because of his weaknesses. I notice too big of a difference rebounding wise.
-
Honestly you can use a bronze coach and not see the difference at this point of the game, I think it was a good idea to make dark matter coaches but they didn’t really impact the game as much as they should have. Zion and Jordan should’ve been the lock in reward, as we predicted back then
-
@rapsanddrosefan mmm, no
defensive boosts are useful asf -
@rapsanddrosefan yeeeah no.
You can definitely tell the difference. Bronze coaches are the best when most cards start hitting 99’s across most attributes
-
Did we ever find out whether attributes go over 99?
-
@benand1
That's funny.
Ofc not. -
@willsterile I might be making it up, did @6thManSam not mention this?
Apologies if wrong
-
@benand1 if so I didn't see it. No need to apologize bro, I was just making a joke about them not being transparent enough.
-
@willsterile haha, I was apologising to Sam in case I made it up or took something incorrectly
-
@benand1 ah ok lol
-
@benand1 Kelly triplucka or whatever his last name was had like 107 strength

I switched from Dantoni to Bud and just buying players with 3 point grintches :
