I know he had a great game, but this card is pretty OP in my opinion. I don't understand how moments and tbt moments get decided... Butler had a great game but it still baffles me that this card as well as the other diamond tbt's are stronger than all the great hall of famers in the game.

I think until a diamond MJ that can shoot 3 balls comes out this is and will be the strongest SG card in the game.

Wow...looks sick

Re: Butler Moments Card

Versus horrendous tanking Sixers and 25 free throws. Well at least theres an update of some sort, even though it's ridiculous like the rest of those diamonds.

Re: Butler Moments Card

If it is as rare as the other diamonds there's no point in trying to pull it. There's no way you will be able to buy it in the AH unless you get rid of your entire lineup or visit the MT selling site.

corny. way overpowered. against crap Sixers as you said. but we asked for updates...gotta realize there is no reasonable middle ground with 2k when you do that.

also, the thing that really shows me how clueless and lazy is that he still has the same badges. why would a 96 ovr Diamond card have Beta Dog? lol.

Butler Moments Card

He was due a moments card anyway after being snubbed for his 40 point 2nd half .


53 points is impressive regardless who it's against .

No Rose / Pau / MDJ look at the roster without Butler too vs the 76ers and it's pretty much a crap shoot matchup wise .


Butler wasn't even suppose to play and didn't go thru shootaround because of badly sprained ankle .


Bulls were down 24 , he basically brought him back himself .


Also Harden dropped 50 points in regulation in nov vs the 76ers to win by 2 with a full roster of players on his team.

yes, long overdue for a Moments, but with these Diamonds....ehh. that HOF scale mumbo jumbo was a bunch of baloney. I thought Moments was a good idea at first but this isnt what I envisioned. Anyone can drop 50 points and get a Diamond or 40 and get an Amethyst card it seems. Standards too low to justify the ratings of a permanent card. Its like someone else said....if they are gonna be done this way, we dont need Moments AND Dynamics. only one. I would like to see Moments cards be limited in contracts.

I dunno, 76ers are historically bad this year and they quit trying when down big. What's really unimpressive is the Bulls needing OT and Butler dropping 53 to beat the Sixers. Especially because he was supposed to rest and, instead, plays almost 50 minutes, often driving to hole for contact and fouls.

To beat the Sixers.

Curry was already an Amethyst, so less special to give him an improved Moments card, but he dropped 53 on the Pelicans...in 32 minutes.

The arbitrary nature of the Moments cards makes them kind of silly-feeling.

yeah, I am not saying 53 is not impressive, it certainly is. I am asking did that performance warrant a 96 ovr card. if so where is the bar set for these? someone unlikely is going to go off for a huge game like Ross and Mo Williams did prior to this year, will they get Diamond or Amethyst?

But like I said in the rest of my post , Harden needed 50 to beat them and he had a healthy team to win by 2 points . Butler was basically playing with the same amount of talent almost of the 76ers . Bulls roster is overrated when your bench players have to become starters and so on .

If you watched the game the 76ers were on fire and the Bulls were just playing horribly .


96 prob too much but on that night with the stuff Jimmy was dealing with he was def playing like a 90 + player

Re: Butler Moments Card

Yeah.. Hate the whole 50 points = diamond status. I like the HOF scale.

Can't a 89 OVR (or less) drop 50 on the 76ers??

Then since its so rare, you'll never probably see this card outside of the gauntlet. 2k being greedy for pack pulls

Re: Butler Moments Card

It needed to be amethyst that way it would eventually be affordable lol.

I mean they're super rare moments cards , i wouldn't expect mo and Ross to be diamonds but prob high 88 maybe 89 . I guess it depends on how the feat was done in a spectacle way .

They might get a TBT card or they might not because they aren't that big of a name .

It's just a matter of time before a 99 overall TBT Kobe 81 drops

Yea it should have been a 94 overall at best

His 40 point 2nd half should have been a 92 overall moments

Re: Butler Moments Card

Pretty much 2k made some of the more obscure stats higher to force him to be a diamond instead of an amethyst. That way the card is way more rare and that means more $$ on packs.
