Small Forwards are imbalanced. SG,SF, and PFs need Boosts.

Or, maybe he just doesn't drive into a crowded paint and takes what the defense gives him on offense.

I hate these "or maybes" it's extremely stupid.

You can drive on a 5'10 PG by himself and HE WILL STRIP YOU

I know because my 5'10 SG strips everyone

It's hilarious reading these posts from people who I know do not play the game better than me, according to leaderboards anyway.

You can objectively look at the stat caps and tell they're absolutely terrible and 2Ks way of punishing people from last year.

I've never made a 7ft small forward because it's cheese and stupid. I always make a PF

I've never zig zagged or any of that dumb ****

When I play the game how it's supposed to be played I expect to be rewarded; not stripped.

I use spin moves, hop steps, step backs, euros, etc

You can keep your ball handling, give me higher ball security and I'll be fine

My thing is this....if the stat caps are put in place to prevent beasts from playing online against other people. Let those caps only affect online.

I personally don't play MyCareer online, never have, never will. I don't see why I have to be penalized by having a severely crippled player. Every year since 2k10 when MP/MC was introduced I created a 6'9 SF and modeled him to be nothing but a scorer, KD-ish. This year even after dumping all my VC in Shooting, and Inside Scoring, I'm still only a mediocre scorer at best.

This is disappointing because I've been working on my SF for days and now I find out I should have just made a PG at the same height. The only thing SF seems to have over PG is blocking and rebounding. The drop in ball control and speed is having me wonder if it was worth it.

If you don't care that rebounding and blocking is higher on a SF along with the ability to get both lockdown badges and rather have speed and ball control you made the wrong position anyway . Your speed isn't gonna be much higher at the same height.

Bring your 6'7 PG against the SF in my squad and he will get locked up completely ...

a 6`7 PG is going to have trouble beating a smaller PG in a footrace and you are going to have alot of trouble trying to stay in front of him.

at least that is what i saw in pro am.

ive got a 5`8 PG who could max at 93 speed.
he is 89 overall.

ive matched up against guys in the 90s who where bigger then me and they had alot of trouble to get past me or stay in front of me.

only points they scored where either fast breaks or when they where wide open because i had to guard other players cause my teammates where running towards the ball....

I understand. I wasn't exactly sure of the differences. I'm a good dribbler regardless of the ratings particularly against users. I've already dedicated a lot into my SF so I don't plan on changing him. I was curious what advantages the SF did have, so thank you for showing me that advantage is mostly on D.

Not talking about driving. If a guard is on a SF and they have gold Pick Pocket, it's open season the second he touches the ball. And there's almost nothing that can be done about it.

Re: Small Forwards are imbalanced. SG,SF, and PFs need Boosts.

Did you actually read the thread? I've never even made a small forward let alone a 7ft one.

I couldn't careless what your "SF" play some people that are actually good and let him enjoy being stripped every game.

The SF on my team dominates...because he is on the sticks every night, not on OS whining and begging for a boost for his player.

Re: Small Forwards are imbalanced. SG,SF, and PFs need Boosts.

Let me lay it out like this:

You are getting stripped because your drives are PREDICTABLE. The other guys are know when you are about to hit shoot, and they hit steal at the same time.

Add variety to your drives, sometimes hit shoot early, sometimes late. Go practice that and get back to us.

Lol, someone doesn't know how the paint and ball security correlate on 2k.

What was your highest rank last year and your current rank this year?

What's your W/L?

Being predictable has absolutely nothing with getting the ball stolen.

Please add some credence to your posts. Because I don't believe you nor your SF friend have a higher W/L or last year rank than me.

Re: Small Forwards are imbalanced. SG,SF, and PFs need Boosts.

I have yet to see a single PF or SF in the park or Pro-Am yet lol.

Me and my brother are both PGs, I'm 6'0 and he's 6'1, and we play with our friend who is a 6'3 SG so pretty much I play PGA, my brother plays SG and our friend plays SF as a 6'3 SG lol.

While we're faster, we SEVERELY lack height. We get rebounds all the time in park and PRO-AM.

Re: Small Forwards are imbalanced. SG,SF, and PFs need Boosts.

.... I rarely if ever post on OS ............. But I've been playing SF every year in every basketball game since I started playing basketball games as a kid ... I used to play with Pippen and let my brother have Jordan back in the day

... That being said ..... I've consistently made a 6'9 SF in My Career since it inception .... and this year is by far the greatest .....

The thing ya'll are missing is Defense is king this year .. and the King of Defense is the SF .... I have maxed Athletic and Defense and can literally guard any player on the floor ...

I simply guard the best player (or who ever shoots the most) and the rout is on ......

Also ... I have Transition Finisher which ya'll fail to realize gives you speed on the break this year .... the boost to my 70 speed is plenty to catch an oop on the break ..... Lob city finisher and Posterizer are simply icing on the cake...

Nearly pulled a 5 by 5 in my last Pro-Am game ..... Double Doubles are a regularity ..... SF is for Defensive Minded players this year ........ and it's great.

Averaging a Triple Double in My Career is still a Brees! ..... #WhoDatNation.

Man, you really like to talk about how good you are, so why are you on here whining? If you are such a great player, then why do you need a boost, when others don't?

Here are my credentials...I'm not on here whining about a boost like you. If I was out there losing and getting stripped, I might come on here and whine, but I am not.

You don't have to believe me and I don't care if you do...because I am not the one complaining about not being good enough.

Yep yep yep. If you're not then why come here just to look down on people who are complaining about legit issues?

Do you have any proof of what you said? Or was it pulled out of thin air? Are you a 2K dev with intricate knowledge of the steal/ball handling system?

Something's not right with the ball handling system this year, that much is certain for me. Getting rebounds and immediately stripped, too many strips from drives, randomly losing the ball, just too name a few. If it hasn't happened to you, great. But don't pretend like it doesn't happen and go on a parade about your little superiority complex.

If you're fine with it, then why the need to come here just to show that you're not having a problem? Do you really have to brag?
