Week 8 Challenge
Build a team using only 60s, 80s, 2000s, and 2020s players. The sim era: 1990s. Dynamic Duo and Mentor/Mentee rating bonuses are doubled. Every spin is guaranteed to land somewhere holding a tier you still need.
There are 3 additional gauntlet variations available!
When drafting players, you now see their overall (in number form) when selecting a position.
Looks like we also have updated/expanded ratings. Lots of E and F players now instead of low-capping at D.
Additionally, when doing the odyssey gauntlet, you can only pick players from that exact decade. The OG gauntlet had like a 3 decade frame or something.
This is a place to discuss the weekly challenge. Feel free to post pics of your runs or discuss tactics.
"You draft players from their college. Every spin lands on one of the 130 greatest programs in college basketball history and a bucket for the HS to pro players. Every spin is guaranteed to land somewhere holding a tier you still need. This introduces new cards for players, as these cards are rated by their entire pro careers."
Today I've been trying to get the Achievement of winning a title with a 80 OVR team. After getting extremely lucky, this was the best I could get and I was ecstatic. Turns out more work is needed to get 80ovr. I suppose one needs to get even luckier with S-tier Dynamic Duos.
Anyone accomplish this?
I thought I'd create a post where we can share our line-ups, results, questions, and whatever else relating to the weekly challenge.
"Build a team using only 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s players, but the sim era is locked to the 1970s, so real era fit penalties apply in full. No position penalty though, draft anyone at any position. No S-tier players allowed. Every other tier is fully open."
You pretty much need to draft Harden, Luka, Embiid, or Edwards as soon as you see them. If you can find Jakarr Sampson or Trae Young as a D tier, take advantage. I've won the challenge only 3 times and each time I've leaned heavy on defensive anchors.
