Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Spoiler

Having a blast playing pro am right now, had my first triple double of the year last night



We ran

1 playmaker
2 Sharpshooters
1 Glass Cleaner PF
1 Stretch Big C

High P&R with the stretch C & the GC setting down screens from one end of the baseline to the other to get shooters open.

We've also found that having a system on defense of switching when the SS get beat off the dribble helps

Enjoying Pro Am so much, just wish we had our custom unis and court lol

enjoying it because the sharpshooters are stupid OP.

Green = 100% vs. every other position that can't do this.

dumb.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

PG's only. On defense, press L1 and the assignment wheel will come up.

BADGE LIST PLEASE

This is a competitive e-sports title for $250,000.

you can't hide bonuses behind mystery.

if you could leak defensive stopper/defensive anchor/floor general <-- (the three strongest badges in the game)

chasedown artist

(or admit they are bugged) that would be great.

I really don't get what you're getting at slick... every archetype has it's pros and cons.

sharpshooters don't create off the dribble at an elite level, they're not great defenders or rebounders, nor are they uber athletic.

A good team can plan their defense around running them off the 3pt line and rotating to cover them.

an LDD in the hands of a skilled player can completely negate their impact.

you sound hurt... like a few sharpshooters have done bad things to you. You wanna talk about it? You OK fam?

They do splash off the dribble really good which kind of goes against their archetype.

Shooters gonna shoot... they're not doing much else. I don't find them OP. I do find them hard to guard which is ok. They're elite shooters.

no...

how about you not assume

Objectively.

a sharpshooter makes 100% of their open 3 pointers with a green release WITH THE BUTTON.

a shot creator with all HOF badges bricks constantly. (or lets replace constantly with any number that is < 100.) there's no amount of iso ability that can replace shooting 100% when open.


Slasher? again. not 100% regardless of user skill.

defensive players? Can't get defensive stopper or defensive anchor.

in the meta now, and when players get better, unless things change. Sharpshooters will be objectively more powerful over the course of an entire game than any other shooting archtype.

HOF dimer + floor general will always > slasher for penetration

Sharpshooter > shot creator over the course of a game. (which mitigates greatly the need for iso scoring later in games if you're shooting 100% outright)

that's cool.

it's not at 100%. that's the problem.

There's a diffrence between hard to guard and being a little OP. "Shooters gonna Shoot" them being able to shoot off the dribble makes the shot creator AT meaningless long term. LDD defenders don't get to perform skill sets outside the archetype or any other one. I really don't care to be honest but I like being the devil's advocate.

That's not true, our sharpshooter is dunking on people and gets a lot of points in the open court. He also handles the ball from time to time. I'm looking at his stats right now 17.7 points per game, 4.4 assists per game and 1.1 steals per game. They can do a little bit of everything and he can hit shots off the dribble. Once you play with or against guys with HOF badges you'll understand how op sharpshooters are

They just can't deal with the fact that there's an inherent bias for this due to the current NBA landscape.

Real funny how we can't get the defensive badges right now too.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

Can you not quit any more before a game starts like last year and not take a L? We were all stuck on 96% for a few minutes so we quit the game but when we joined again we got a loss for that.

Being 2-2 doesn't sit right with me when it wasn't a legitimate loss.

I don't think some people understand that the shot off the dribble rating doesn't really matter if you just stop and set your feet.

how can they not be okay with patch 4, yet okay with this?

we're at the point where

"i saw my sharpshooter shoot wide open, i'm not going to bother to boxout-rebound or do anything but run back" it's going in.

Re: NBA 2K17 Pro-Am Discussion Thread

no...

defensive players? Can't get defensive stopper or defensive anchor.

Both of these badges have been unlocked by numerous people.
