Nope, 99% of the league didn’t use the lineup matrix until this year, including myself. I think people are trying it more this year and therefore people are overhyping it early in the season. Overall we enjoy the sim because it’s pretty accurate.

The lineup stuff is new lol. People are trying it out because you can bypass simulation sub shenanigans with it.

Beyond that it's better because there's a lot more options to running a team and a lot more players. 2k is very rigid and goes out of it's way to dumb down any GM mode. I didn't even realize people still played the GM mode on 2k they removed all the features moving to the last generation of consoles and never added them back. It's NBA My Team/My Park/Pro Am now. That's literally all I see my youngest brother playing on 2k.

I don't think it was very accurate with my team. Sexton off the bench and only 29 minutes. He has been a starter 208 out of 218 games and averaged 32.9 minutes a game. He averaged 35.3 minutes his 3rd season,

Just mirror the example bish used in an excel spreadsheet and you can send it to him.

You can use Google sheets too and let him have access and just send him the link.

Looked over your game with Detroit and it looks like they were up by 20 points at one point, and if that’s the case the coach probably called it a game and gave the minutes to end of bench players.

If you want Sexton to play 33 minutes pencil him in as a starter, and/or make sure your team is more competitive next game.

I have sent in a per minute player/position lineup. What I sent in should be a solid guide for the games. I hope I don't have to do 2 minute increments. What is the point in having a AI if you have to tell the damn thing what to do every 2 minutes :lol:

You’re good if you sent in minutes, if a player plays less minutes than you sent in though it usually has to do with: (1) Injuries, (2) Your team was getting blown out and/or (3) Foul trouble

That is what I did after the loss; for this game against the Cavs. I am sure this is going to be my default lineup from here on out; except for some tweaking/experimenting with the bigs.

I have a old school mentality. You give the most minutes to your best players. In other words, dance with the one you came with.

Terence Davis with 19 points in 22 minutes.

Averaging 22 a game in his last 4. He's been amazing so far this year I think he'll stay in the starting 5 going forward.

if you're this angry over something this simplistic, you may need to move on, my man.


most of us are not that hardcore about this, and prefer the simplicity of knowing, 2 minute increments, and let the SIM handle the rest.

we enjoy the fact that it's something this simple we can all do, that isn't too overly complicated. it allows us to give simple things to bish, he runs it through the SIM, and, on HIS OWN FREE TIME, gives us knicks fans something to look forward to since our real life team sucks.

but again, take away what you will from it. the rest of us just enjoy something a little extra, but is simple enough for the rest of us to understand, take a part in, enjoy, and realize it's just a game

It has to do with my expectations of how good Luka, Zion, Sexton, and KP should be.

But I will take your suggestion on advisement if you want me out. Just be man enough to say so is all I ask.
