Why are there no lineup restrictions?

This is my first time really messing with MyTeam. It's cool, but I'm kind of irritated that there are no restrictions on lineups whatsoever. It's not a lot of fun playing these HOF squads with my all 70's rotation. I'm in these games, but even still.

There's so many different combinations of tier levels that they could implement. It would be nice to see people have to pick and choose who they want to insert into the lineup instead of just juicing it up. I was informed that they used to do something like that, but they did away with it this year. They could still have a free-for-all area for those who want it. C'mon, 2K. ****.

I agree totally. It was much more fun trying to get your best bronze line up figured out and progressing gradually.

Some people wanted to play myteam, but since they were not very good players they would never reach the unrestricted line-ups, and they could not use the players they wanted.

Fair enough that is totally unrestricted. The messy thing is that you can have unrestricted in pro-all star settings...

It has been said again in this forumthat a lot of people would enjoy a fully restricted laddertoo, that would require skill to assemble a good squad, not just pick 13 superstars

They should have just done the tiers by team OVR rating so that you could still try use 1 or 2 great players and the rest scrubs or use a more balanced lineup etc. I agree at not enjoying the instantly unrestricted as much as there is even less reason to use lower ranked players.

I thought the idea was that they were going to match you up with another team that has a similar OVR as yours. Is this not the case?

No, unless you consider this a similar overall. This is what most of my matches look like. His bench was Durant, McCollum, Jay Williams, Lillard, Drummond, Love, Wiggins.

I'm fighting my *** off in these games to have a chance at the end. I wish that we were able to put more thought into the lineup and have a somewhat more even competitive playing field.

Smh, straight from the MyTeam blog. Hopefully it's just a glitch that'll be patched, or it's due to the game not being able to find another player with a similar OVR
