Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

I made a 99 3-Point and mid range build, with all the badges you get from sharpshooter this build is deadly

Looks pretty legit but it's so hard to know how that'll translate on harder difficulties.

Curry doesn't have GREAT finishing ability, I'd say he's a B or B- in the finishing area. I agree with the ball handling. There are ways to tweak your wingspan\height to get a more accurate representation of Curry. Also you have to take into account the skill of the player as well. If I make a great ball handling PG that doesn't mean I am going to be good at ball handling.

Well im talking attributes wise. Sharpshooting PG doesn't reflect Curry in that at all. I'd also say shooting 70% around the rim makes u a great finisher

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

Besides the attributes changing, what are the pros/cons of longer/shorter arms, obvious one would be defense with longer arms, but what else?

Shorter arm pros
-Better shooting off the dribble
-Better open shot 3
-Better contested shot /midrange&3 (which makes no sense to me honestly)

Shorter arm cons
-Tougher to play defense?

Longer arm pros
-more effective on defense

Longer Arm Cons
-Basically everything from the shorter arm Pros go down instead of going up

well this doesnt really answer your question lol i dont think there is anymore pros and cons to it besides what you see and the difference being able to defend better

So you'd equate Curry's finishing ability to Westbrook, James, Harden, or Lillard? Sharpshooter reflects him the most accurately a 60, or whatever number it is, shooting off the dribble may be pretty legit in this game. We have to see how the numbers translate in game. You also have to take in to account the releases and shot stick boost.

Curry may not dunk like them but the tear drops and the layups are his way of finishing

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

Wish it let you see attribute upgrade screen before saving character. Would eliminate the need for all these accounts and frustrations. Luckily i like my first one the best but i wish i could have compared for myself a lot more.

Right? They really wanted this whole build finding thing to be annoying lol

I hope they patch some of these archetypes speed with the ball.

Yeah like my 6'10 point forward I created with 96 speed with ball after +5 boost lol.

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

Hey guys! Want to do a kind of Allen Iverson type of player but with the 6ft shot creator the speed with the ball is trash even with boost. Would it be better to do a playmaker and apply boost to all the scoring slots?

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

KingKoopa was banned? Interesting..

Anyway the prelude is very misleading to judging your builds. With yours and the opposition stats so low, height will have a disproportionate affect on your success.

Was he? No wonder I don't see him around. That's tough for him since he loves this place.

I'm not even speaking on dunks and I'm not saying he is a bad finisher. I just don't think he attempts in the paint as much as(didn't check numbers) the NBA stars you would call great finishers. Would you call curry a better finisher than Tyreke Evans?

I bet better chance at rebounds with longer arms. Has to be something else to balance with those pluses for raptor arms.

I guess "better defense" includes passing lanes, blocks, on ball steals; gotta be something to offset since they are pushing straight balance.

I'm pretty sure Speed with Ball is a modifier, so 99 in that stat means no difference between your speed rating with, or without, the ball.

This is how I understood it. Someone need to run some timed full court sprints!
