Glad you put in written discussion/summary in this post, along with linking your video. It's nice to have the addition to the dialogue here.

I think I had to do this Challenge three times. I used the same lineup each time and it was practice with some players I wanted to get more used to, together, so not geared purely toward completing the challenge in a cheesy way.

Which isn't to say that I wasn't kind of cheesy. I was mainly scoring with Ruby Payton, posting up on Steph and shooting post-fades and other post shots (and post spins). If you were to use someone even bigger and stronger, then it would be even easier to exploit Curry from the high post quick enough that it's hard for CPU to get double-team over.

And when CPU double-teams, I had 4 shooters all around to dish to, including at Center (Sapph Embiid).

But I agree: play methodically and make sure you score. Take only really high % shots as, I think, 75% while using 20 seconds is more efficient than shooting 50% while using only 10 seconds, because you have to figure in CPU's time with the ball on other end.

post up curry with guards and force doubles method will definitely work didn
t even think of that

Hardens defense isn't very good either. On the third try I put Larry Bird at the 2 and went to work on Harden and finally completed the challenge.

To me, this challenge is 100% about defense. Put your best defensive and rebounding squad out there, lock down the other side to the best of your ability and run in transition every chance you get. I was able to get the score tied with about 4 minutes left, and held them to only 15 points total by sticking Ben Wallace and Dikembe at the 4 and 5 and Magic at the 1.

This one took me a couple tries though I only won by 1.

I can't seem to get the 10 dunks one though. I always fall a couple short. The AI starts fouling a lot to keep me from getting dunks.

Fair enough, but there are serviceable cheaper options. I ran Ruby Lin at the 2 and Emerald Durant at the 3. So two of my players (Lin & Wallace) were rewards and Durant costs nothing. Sub Yao Ming for Dikembe because everyone has him, and you're on your way! You really only need 5 guys if you use your timeouts and you can fill the bench with bronze players.
