My Player Attributes

Re: My Player Attributes

Ok well we must have different definitions of what a True center is because there is no way Big Horford classifies as one

"true centers" don't need to have height. They need to have the basics a typical center should have: rebounding, defense, low post offense...that's what he has

Re: My Player Attributes

Exactly. I should be able to create my player to my liking within reason of course. But if I want to make a small forward who's only got like 70 speed but 90 dunk I should be able to. This bucket system doesn't allow it.

So who is going to determine that "Within Reason" is?

Re: My Player Attributes

Agreed with you there but a simple wix would be moving dunking to the athletics category then i can still make my larry bird archtype and have decent layups and inside scoreing, without posterizing defenders. Also POST GAME NEEDS ITS OWN CATEGORY

Just have no categories, then you can make whatever you want... Im curious to why 2k went with this style, other than making it easier for people that don't understand what they need to be successful.

Re: My Player Attributes

Cant speak for DC, but i am not 'against' individual stats. However if they are going to do the 'buckets' as long as its implemented properly im ok with it. If your play style is back to basket 7 footer. And you upgrade your shooting for free throws. And the end result it a 55 3 point rating? Whats the problem? 35 or 55 YOUR NOT A PERIMETER THREAT.

well let's assume it was implemented this way (which is not a given)

it still causes us a waste of VC. It is obviously cheaper to upgrade free throw by itself instead of upgrading free throw AND three pointer. We should be able to focus totally on one instead of spending more to upgrade both. ESPECIALLY if we are playing a center who has no intention of shooting a three pointer in his entire life; we should be able to leave the three point rating at 0 if we want to.

I dont either bra im just hoping they put the time and thought into it this time around to give us diversity and balanced game play.

I honestly feel like if you don't understand the sport of basketball you should be at a disadvantage when playing a basketball video game

Completely agree...

Re: My Player Attributes

I don't see how NOT setting limits will allow for more diverse created players?

Everyone will be tall, boost shooting and athletic ratings.

How will that be diverse?

To me within reason is capping skills based on height, weight and position while still allowing people to pick which skills they want upgraded and what they don't. Last year literally every freaking stat was the same when you upgraded it so if your mid range was 90 so was your 3. This year I wanted to have a SF with around 80-90 inside and midrange shot and only 70 3pt shot. And then just create various other things in his game that are different so he's versatile and has his own skill set that isn't incredibly overpowered. That way I have to think my game through and actually pick my spots and so I'm different from all the other SFs.

Yeah!

I said it before in another thread, but one of the first games I played in 2K11 (after years without a basketball video game) was in the MyPlayer draft combine, and I got an F in Teammate Grade.

The 2K Insider (I must be the only one that misses that feature) told me how bad I was--and boy, was I.

But I took the time to learn how to play the game. And I did much better later.

Set limits, if I make an inside guy make my 3 cap a 55, but maybe I don't want to put 55 in it at all, and I keep it a 15...

I'm just saying last year I made an inside type of center, and as I upgraded my shooting for my mid range, I slowly start fading outside and shooting 3s more often because my rating was high enough. I never intended on doing this, and Im sure other people were like me.

after playing about 40 guys of NBA Live Demo, I have 0 upgrades in 3pt shot and have attempted 2 total in 40 games, I stay down low and keep working at it.

I have seen in that game how it makes some people stay low and others stay high.

Re: My Player Attributes

Dc Its not the caps they have problems with. Its that multiple things are grouped into the same category. Witch limits unique play styles. I get there point! But the bucket thing can still work if done properly.I dont see ANY ONE complaing about caps either system would NEED them

Exactly I'm all for caps and I'm the type of guy to not upgrade an attribute even if there isnt a cap because that's how I want my player to play. It's just this bucket system keeps me from making MY player. because when you get down to it with the types of player and the height weight and position restrictions there will be differences but youre bound to find someone who has ratings that are the same if not very close to yours and that's no fun.

I think what they mean is they want individual attributes, but caps on the individual attributes if I read it correctly.

Let's say you make a Pass First PG who is 6'7" (Magic Johnson mold)
Note: Using Random #s

Caps would be something like this:

Max speed 80
max quickness 80
Max Vert 70
Max On-Ball D 65-70
Max 3Pt 65-70
Max Mid 75
Max Ball Handling 80
Max Off Post Up 75-80 (other PG types would be <50)

I think this is what most people were expecting but I could be wrong.

But instead of being forced to be a 80 FT shooter and a 30 PT shooter I can just be a good free throw shooter. It just allows me to tailor to a specific role which is what real basketball players do.
