SHOWDOWN CARDS UPDATED

[TomH]

I play a lot of SD. Like right now I’m at #20. Not that that means anything at all other than I grind a lot of SD. But I’m repeating myself.

Without any fanfare they updated to 104 today. I had enough tokens to instantly elevate all 5 to 104 (and satisfy my OCD by nearly emptying my Collectibles and total items which was full. Now, some of these cards have attributes that don’t necessarily seem like 104 cards. But, they play like 104 and give their boost to themselves. The OVRs easily boost to 105/106. Lavine is the weak link, especially so far in gameplay. The rest come in pretty handy.

I'm a little short on maxing Laimbeer but Fox is nice..... While he lasts. Hate it when the OVR game forces me to replace players I have fun with

 

[Stewie309]

I love Fox I I maxed him and LaVine right after reset I wasn't expecting them today but it was a nice surprise I just with they gave a team boost

I feel like their stats are not a 104 kind of stats..
It’s a bit underwhelming...hoping their gameplay live with their ovrs.

Fox definitely does

Laimbeer is highly recommended!

Yeah that’s what I said above. But, starting all 5 in SD they play like the other 104s. For some reason Lavine is shooting terrible for me. Laimbeer ad Scalabrine have rarely missed. But others are having success with him, so....individual results will vary. Same old story.

I know. Could have sworn EA said Monday. That’s why I wanted to finish top 100, to make sure I had plenty of tokens. I was at work when a league mate left a comment in our Line Chat.. really nice we didn’t have to Boost one ovr at a time.

Yeah they said Monday but changed it to today as a surprise as Brian out it I was expecting them to be 105 before they announced 104 on Monday but whatever this is most likely the last version of these cards I don't see them hitting 109/110 but even if they do it will be when the game is dead

Joe Ingles with the +5 Steal boost looks really nice, even for a bench SF.

Yeah, I’m not holding onto hundreds of tokens I can sell. It’s an educated gamble.

Isn’t the overall cap for this year 105 excluding boosts?

Nope it's 110

 

[bigballer607]

Lavine is the best SG in the game right now. He's not a sharpshooter tho, so dont spam 3s with him too much.

I guess the next version of these players will be 107 ovr, around July

 

[JukeNukem1432]

With the cap at 110 I see them getting there eventually. It wouldn't make sense for them to stop here.

I said this may be the last version because EA's ability to flat out "forget" about stuff we want that's also free they seem to be very good at it

 

[TomH]

I never used 100 Fox because I had much better shooting pgs. But I’ve been using my balanced lineup today for the 75% Boost, starting 104 Fox, and he is amazing. He’s so fast he can take the outlet pass off a RB and sprint to the corner before the D has a chance to cover. Nearly automatic.

 

[Cortes]

LaVine is great for me. Next one is Laimbeer.
I played few SD games against 103-106 teams with Laimbeer yesterday and he was invisible, but I need him because he has DEF style for Boomer/SD and should be good on manual with these stats.
