Finally some legends coming to Live Ultimate Team:

None that I really care about. Plus my starting five is better than any of those except for Oscar because Kobe is a 90.
Bought some packs the other day and was able to boost up my roster:
Faced one of the legends in an Ultimate Team Fantasy Challenge. Here is Oscar Robertson:
The face is pretty good, but he could use a thicker head of hair.

I feel like some of these legend ratings are low.Quote:

That may explain the "low" ratings since it is based off one season and not a career.Quote:

Some new Spotlight cards have been added:

Nice! My best center is Gasol at 88.
Off the top of my head, I think each would improve my roster so I may cash in a reward pack I have been sitting on since last week. I may wait a day or two and see if any new Legends are also introduced.Quote:

Used the upgraded squad to win the Elite 80's Fantasy Showdown against the Hawks. I lost that game twice yesterday and probably quit two other times. I went 0 for the 4th qtr from the field but some free throws got it to OT.
I probably won't play LUT all that much, but it's a nice way to experiment with some different plays and styles. Also, I can see myself playing LUT here and there when I'm playing a season of a different sports game.
I tried the November players of the month one last night. Started with the block leaders, and the three times I tried I got blown out of the building. No outside shooting at all.
I've decided to make changes to my lineup and rotation. For some reason the players don't seem to be playing to their ratings. I'm not getting much from C Marc Gasol, who's rated 88 OVR. I'm going to start Bosh now (85 OVR) as I have some good success on offense with him. I'm also going to remove Harden from the active team since I rarely use him and put in Ray Allen for some sharpshooting off the bench when needed. I removed Gasol too in favor of a Legend I pulled last night, Robert Parrish :nod: an 85 OVR like Bosh at C.
Am I correct in assuming that if you want to be even remotely competitive I have to spend money to get decent players? I've played 2 games with the team you automatically get and I've managed to score 24 points and shoot 12% from the field combined in those 2 games. It's absolutely infuriating to me how many point blank shots I've missed so far. Okay, I'm being guarded in the post, but I've yet to see anyone miss about 15 jump hooks in a row from about 5 feet away regardless of how well they're being guarded. Basically, no matter where I'm at on the court, if there's a defender within 5 feet of me, chances are overwhelmingly in favor that I'm going to miss regardless of how well I time the shot.
Not really. Gold packs are 3500 and 5000 coins. Doesn't take long to earn that much.

IOU - It might also depend on what challenge you are playing. It sounds like they may be on a higher difficulty. I can win and compete on Rookie & Pro, but there are times Pro can be challenging. I can only imagine how the higher levels are.
Also, I am being awarded packs by playing Rising Star. Bronze Packs, sure, but packs.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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
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.Quote:

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?Quote:

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.
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.
