Re: Updated Max Cap's MyPlayer Guide

Do we have any confirmation on being to exceed the caps through drills and practice?

I am certain you can only exceed the cap through those temporary boosts.

That's why your highest attributes cap at 94: so you can boost them to 99.

You can't boost stats that are maxed though.

Not last year.

Who's to say you can't this year?

Re: Updated Max Cap's MyPlayer Guide

I find it disconcerting that the max speed for a 6'6" is 80. If thats the case it better be balanced across the whole NBA in their rating because its going to get annoying quickly if Harden, Thompson, Butler, Derozan, Wade have some absurd 90+ plus speed rating while im left at a distinct disadvantage. As long as their ratings are similar to what im capped at then i'm fine, but I have some serious reservations on that being the case.

I'm loving it. The caps i've seen so far are very reasonable imo, especially when you consider you can choose to upgrade them wearing certain shoes. That's the beauty of it from what i can tell so far, you have to choose what your strength will be. And then there's still the regular attribute boosts for those who wish to waste vc on that. I doubt i'll do that myself but never say never.

Edit: i understand it being a little annoying for offline players but i think this minor annoyance barely reaches the ankles of online users' annoyance of having to deal with 7' gods all year. Ideally, they'd give the option to have an uncapped offline mycareer or a capped online one. Maybe next year. Personally, i'm glad they chose to cater to the online crowd and not just the casual players but actually the ones who want to play something resembling actual basketball.

Well like I said im fine with it as long as 2K had the foresight to make sure they balanced the attribute ratings of all NBA players to be somewhere's around where we are capped at. Because I can see some problems arising if someone create's a SF and their speed is capped at let's say 75 best case scenario out of the play styles. Then they get matched up against Micheal Kidd Gilchrist who has 90+ speed at the same height weight and position. or worse yet 30+ year old vet's having athletic advantages over you due to a skill cap.

I understand it would be near impossible to do this, but those caps should only be enforced for online. I'm fine with the caps, but like someone else said with the 80 speed SG example, I just hope speed is compensated across the board and I'm not getting blown by constantly offline

Can you do Outside and balanced 7'3 center

Re: Updated Max Cap's MyPlayer Guide

Does weight affect any attributes?

yes strength

Yeah but you can't look at it as 75/80 speed. We know there are attributes boosts on the shoes as well as the regular boosts you pay for. So really that 75/80 can probably be somewhere between 85-89/90-94. And that's just what we know, there might still be other boosts (from drills or whatever) as well.

80 Speed is going to be relevant. You cant look at it as 80 of of 99. Remember everyone else's speed will be balanced also, so an 80 speed SG will "feel" like a SG compared to the other positions you are up against.

This x1000, people are acting like their 80 speed SG will be matched by a 80 speed C. 80 speed SG can blow by everyone speed wise other than PGs, which sounds about right for the vast majority of SGs.

Re: Updated Max Cap's MyPlayer Guide

From what I understand, the shoe boosts are only for players in MyTeam. Sort of how you could apply certain badges to them you got as cards, you can now apply shoes to boost some attributes. I don't think these shoe boost will be available for your MyPlayer.

^^ I read somewhere that you could but i guess it wasn't official, my mistake then.

You are correct . The issue will be in the mismatches . on a fast break a 94 speed pg will blow past any big man ! And in the paint if a guard gets match up on a big man the shot % goes way up and he just overpowers the smaller guy . i seen all this in a video !

I have not seen any streams thus far that showed gear providing boost's to attributes so if we can get boost's via gear off day drill's great then this non issue and you are correct I hope that's the case

While i'll agree 80 speed will feel like a SG but thats if and only if everyone else's speed is balanced unfortunately I haven't been able to confirm that they are indeed balanced granted obviously the game is not out yet but still haven't seen screen shots of indepth ratings compared to the caps and all this is a moot point if we can go above the caps through drills or gear with boosts as Bonium pointed out
