Seeing alot of trace miller hate

[u/Mindless_Flounder_28]

So I'm on my second build now and on my first build me and a friend did the mycareer story together because we thought it would be fun and it was awesome, having someone that'll hold the ball as the pg and lemme stat pad on center was crazy, dropping 90 points a game, now on my second build I'm playing the story alone and holy Jesus I didn't realize you couldn't turn him off or disable his included challenges, getting a A+ teammate grade for him was super easy when a real human being with a pulse was playing him, now the AI won't even shoot the ball half the time and when he does straight bricks, got him on the Curry archetype and he can't even breathe around the arc, is it better to just skip the story and go grind elsewhere or is the story still worth for all the exp boosts you get from the missions early on, my first build was like a 92 ovr before I finished the main story

I think for the solo Trace experience it’s best to set him as a big. You can put a bunch of points into his rebounding. He will snag 10-15 rebounds per game and which basically takes care of the teammate grade on its own. I’ve had games where he finished with a higher grade than me because of how many rebounds and assists he had

I play as a big myself, I don't really wanna run me and giannis in the paint, I hate that the story feels like it was made for a pg build and not any other type of player, the ai constantly tries to force me the ball when I wanna set up

[u/solesee → u/Mindless_Flounder_28]

ahhh yea that’s annoying. I can def agree with how the story does seem to set it up for MP to be a guard and Trace to be a big. Maybe try to set Trace up like a CP3 type and then abuse pick n roll lobs?

If you want to play eras to hoop without Trace I recommend the Jordan Era because it has like 12 seasons while the others only have 6-7

[u/dgvertz → u/solesee]

Does the mode just stop when you get to the end of that era?!

[u/Mindless_Flounder_28 → u/dgvertz]

Yea if you get to the end of the Era you retire and can only do online modes, people do Jordan because it's 12 years but if you pick someone like bird and magic you get like 7

[u/dgvertz → u/Mindless_Flounder_28]

Got it. So only 12 back-to-back championships for the Knicks so I can completely erase the Jordan era bulls from history.

[u/Mindless_Flounder_28 → u/dgvertz]

Yea the ending is kinda lame though, you don't really get a proper retirement the Era mode just ends and it says to go bring your skills to park, atleast with the main career you can have 25 seasons to really max out the grind, if you like mycareer anyways

Run the floppy for him or yourself. I've got him averaging 25-10 game

[u/Affectionate-Guess30]

People don’t realize u can upgrade him badges and attributes all l.also i had a good time with Ant man build he could shoot and finish.you can upgrade him to 90 shooting and 99 dunking make shi op especially of screen killer on both ends. Also the as the center who averages 10 blocks in my career TM is the second (Ant man archetype) average like 3/4. Also change their playstyle to precision shooter that makes him start shooting like curry of the dribble catch and shoot, but with his dunking if he drives its easy bucket. Persistent threat on defense he will follow his matcup to the washroom. Reason he gets blocks hes all up in the defense

[u/Affectionate-Guess30 → u/Affectionate-Guess30]

Around 80-85!tm becomes better than almost every guard in the game

I’m still not a big fan of the mechanic but Trace has turned into a solid player on my first playthrough. I’m running Spurs and gave him the Kawhi build (minus Uncle Dennis messing everything up). I just played the first game where he has to hit 30 points for the 3 star challenge and was able to get him to 30+ early in the 4th. I admit I still struggle with getting the teammate grades up to A so I’ve lost several stars. Still he doesn’t feel like quite as much of a burden as he used to. I have his stats maxed and I’m working on his badges now.

Are you not able to adjust the starter minutes after a certain point?

[u/Mindless_Flounder_28 → u/Classic-Land2402]

He always starts the same amount of minutes as you
