Thoughts on the slasher build.

Re: Thoughts on the slasher build.

Wouldn't it be better to just create a different character? I was so frustrated with my dude the other night so i made a sharpshooter and spent $20 to max his 3pt but I haven't decided what I want to use, Im thinking slasher only because I dropped $50 on him, and I'm convinced that he'll be so much better with the badges

Well at the park I was dominating today, got hot in every game I played and when I got a pass inside I was stand dunk posterizing. Got several contact dunks, and the one that failed still managed to go in because the HOF acrobat badge activated. The sharpshooters kept bricking 3's but maybe they didn't have have their badges.

Fastbreaks are still kind of slow at times though, but I did notice a slight difference. Anyone know if one man fast break gives a temp boost in speed with ball?

Re: Thoughts on the slasher build.

last nite my pro-am team played vs top 10 team with a 6ft10 slasher at small forward. he literally sat in the corner for 10-15 sec then made backdoor cut, he did this all game and dominated. think he went 12-15 with 27 points, he must have had maxed out strength too because he would basically go straight thru everyone and dunk or make contact layup. its pretty deadly if you know what you are doing

Re: Thoughts on the slasher build.

I'm getting mixed feelings about this build. Yeah sometimes it feels great, but I played 3 shot creators in a row that were posterizing left to right hitting contested layups and knocking down 3's. I on the other hand went 1/5 taking smart shots that converted to slow animations and missed lightly contested layups. My first standing dunk attempt was a layup that hit the bottom of the rim. The next two got blocked because of slow animation dunks. The last transition layup just flatout missed. These shot creators play just like me, except they can hit 3's!

Posterizing with a 3 next to his name.

Spoiler

Next possession, doing his thing. (And before anyone starts saying that was bad D, I was stopping the fast-break, as my team-mate left his guy open.)

Spoiler

Sometimes we're lucky to hit this though.

Re: Thoughts on the slasher build.

Slashers need time to shine (it seems to me). They do not excell out of the box and so at lower ratings, they are more reflective of the user's knowledge, exploitability and the opponent's lack of.

I'm not happy with the arch-types this year overall. They see narrowly modeled to specific examples (LLD = D. Jordan) and ignore others completely.

I agree shot creators and sharpshooters dunking ability needs to be toned down.

My first pro-am game today, I was matched up vs a pretty tall shot creator. This guys first possession was a ferocious putback dunk.

Re: Thoughts on the slasher build.

I'm frustrated with layups on my athletic finisher PF 6'10. I miss every layup . I did a wide open put back dunk and missed. I got thrown an open alley and missed. On a fastbreak I crossed over into a wide open layup and bricked so bad.

There needs to be a patch

well the 1st clip was kind of your fault for gambling for a steal. the 2nd clip was terrible defense by your teammate. i can understand your frustration on the 3rd clip, maybe up that relentless finisher to gold then hof. are your layups/dunks and strength maxed?

Re: Thoughts on the slasher build.

This is disturbing to find out.

most guards/small forwards actually have a higher speed with ball than speed. i think i saw someone earlier with speed with ball double digits higher than their speed

on the slasher/finishing layup note, the layups having a release timing that is very unpredictable - IE some contact layups have an instant release that you just dont expect or cant react too by time the animation happens - and it really destroys the ability to finish around the rim unless your layup ratings are very very high. at this point in mycareer for me its either a foul or a brick when i go into the paint

I took the risk but the paint was clogged, didn't expect a shot creator to plow through the interior defense. And as for the 2nd clip, maybe I can also hit 3's as a slasher if they play bad D on me? I mean everyone else can posterize. For the third, You shouldn't need a hof relentless finisher to finish a layup with weak contact. Especially if your layup is near the 90's. My Strength needs 3 more bars and I'm currently sitting with all HOF badges except for the floater.

i just watched all 3 clips.

the 1st one should NEVER happen but it will since mypark is based around being an nba jam rip-off where un-realistic things drive the games.

2nd clip nothing wrong with it honestly, he was wide open to start the shot and probably had a perfect or near perfect release

3rd clip that shot should go in or be a foul atleast 65% of the time if its triggering relentless finisher

yea if your layup is around the 90s theres no way you should've missed that, u had the meter right on the line too. lol idk maybe try a different layup package? as far as hitting 3s im not sure, but you should be able to hit open midrange. i hear the euro-step layups as slasher are pretty good also
