NBA Live 14 Ultimate Team Discussion

[jaymo76]

I have only played one game thus far. It's tough to compete. My highest rated player is a 71. I lost by three against the top rookies. I want to get better at the mode but I just don't find these modes all that appealing. Hopefully I will get some more card packs to improve my team via Live Moments and Rising Star.

Yeah, but the challenges only reward you for winning the game. Losing doesn't net you anything that I noticed. Online games might be different, but I'd have to be a mad man to take this team online.



I don't know. It was the all bronze challenge - I had to have only bronze players on my starting 5 and my bench. I had to play Orlando for my first game and like I said earlier, I couldn't even get a simple post up hook to go down.

If you win a game, you get on average 700-800 coins (on top of the bonus that is listed). Losing is around 450-600 I think.

Mine must be glitching then. I lost twice and got nothing.

Did you quit early? There is a rundown of all the points you earn in the end. I've never seen that glitch yet.

[I OU a Beatn]

Nope, finished the game completely and didn't get anything. I tried again later that night, lost again, again got nothing. That's why I was wondering how I'm supposed to get better cards when I can't beat the CPU and I can't even get any coins for losing like in Madden.

[JBHuskers]

Might be a good idea to record the end then. I've never finished a game a not rec'd coins.

Same here. That is weird, IOU - I always receive coins after a loss as well.


Two new legends:



I would have to look, but I think the vast majority of LUT Legends were those players signed previously to appear in NBA JAM. So far, I'm not sure they have unveiled any new legends. (Maybe Dolph Schayes?)


This is a list I have put together or known legends available in the mode. All are tied to a certain season, noted where known:

Dolph Schayes ('54-55)
Oscar Robertson ('64-65)
Allen Iverson ('00-01)
Alonzo Mourning ('93-94)
Dominique Wilkins ('85-86)
Chris Mullin
Dennis Rodman ('85-86)
Kevin McHale ('86-87)
Robert Parish
Clyde Drexler
Nate Archibald ('72-73)
James Worthy
Walt Frazier
Willis Reed
Gary Payton
Shawn Kemp
Wes Unseld
Earl Monroe
Magic Johnson
Larry Bird
Wilt Chamberlain
Bill Russell
Hakeem Olajuwon
Patrick Ewing
Bob Cousy
Bob Pettit

[JBHuskers]

I wonder if you get a paternity suit when you put Shawn Kemp in your starting five.

Even on the challenges? I've played the same challenge 4 times, lost all 4, finished 3 of them and didn't get anything either time. If you're supposed to be getting coins even for losing challenges, I guess I'll try uninstalling and downloading it again.

You're talking about the 170 or so fantasy challenges right?

I think. The one I've been trying you have to have an all bronze team and you play 5 games I believe. The first one is against Orlando. Once you beat all 5, you get 500 coins. Or something like that.

Yeah you get coins for losing those games.

The screen will look like this after the game.

[I OU a Beatn]

Never got that screen. Guess I'm going to have to uninstall and retry it.

I've never done any Fantasy Challenge that had a requirement. Maybe those do not give coins?

[JBHuskers]

Good point. I haven't yet either.

After I deleted it and installed it again, it's now giving me coins even for losing the challenge. I don't know what the issue was the first few times.

[JBHuskers]

Weird. Well good thing. Coin payouts are pretty good compared to the best pack you can get.

Play the divisional challenges. I think the difficulty there is easier.

Now it's back to not rewarding coins again. Even beat the challenge this time. Didn't get coins for playing OR for beating the challenge. I'm beginning to think my saves are getting corrupted or something. Live is the only game I've had problems with, though.
