I Think its very important to choose a coach that works for YOUR team. If you have a stretch 5 team, sometimes its not best to boost certain stats that look appealing. I notice on the fastbreak, sometimes Dirk can even keep up with magic on fast break. 2k Logic.
I have switched my coach from D’Antoni to Pop and for my Starting Line up its AMAZING. I do miss the extra speed and shooting a small amount but as we upgrade our players over time, the speed increase is less needed.
My Starters are
Magic/Klay/G Hill/AK47/Mutombo. An already fast team with the 1-4 with above average shooting. The only wasted attributes are on Mutombo, however, he plays a lot better on defense for some reason. Magic on the switch is very important and the boost in strength, on ball defense, help defense, rebounding make a HUGE difference.
Anyone else experience big changes based on coaches?
I use Pop as well and I think he’s the best kept secret in MyTeam. It keeps Stojakovic in the lineup and fyi Drazen has like 81 Defensive Proficiency. Since I saw that I’ve been seriously considering picking him up.
I recently switched from Casey to Spoelstra for the defensive bonuses. I found that my players are already good enough offensively, and while the boosts were nice, a different coach helped make up for some of the holes on defense. You think the diamond defensive coaches are worth the upgrade?
I honestly thought about making the switch to a defensive coach a while back, but I had already put shoes on my players to mesh with the D’Antoni boosts. I’ll just wait until after I do a team refresh when I pick up Paul Pierce tonight, and hopefully Giannis tomorrow.
Its definately team specific. U probably find dantoni boost to giannis at the one open 3 ball control and speed will be more op. Unless u run giannis at the 4. Then defense coach kills
I always run Giannis at PF because I think he’s most effective for my play style there… plus I already have Hill & Magic holding down the 1 spots, and they are practically untouchable lol. I’ll end up moving Hill to a different role when a Penny card finally drops (should have been him yesterday, not Shaq ).
Looks like u play very similar to me, im slowly pushing hill to bench pg once i find a solid 3 and d i can rely on like him. Might have to put kirilenko there or if im able to get webber lol
I heavily recommend AK47 at the 3 He has better SF stats than just about any SF in the game at the moment… seriously. He’s obviously a top PF too, but he’s the mayor of Mismatch City at the 3. Plus, I honestly always thought he mainly played SF in real life
