    If anybody knows how these attribute bars translate to numbers, let me know.

      If center has a playmaker option then that's it

      But next best thing is probably a 6' 10" Point forward slasher

        Found this in the 2k subreddit: u/chemthethriller posted screen caps of the archetypes:

          So I peeped that a pure Shot Creators 3PT is 13 upgrades and a Post Scoring/Stretch hybrid is 13 upgrades as well. If the ratings are anything like 2k17s, is it safe to assume we can get the 3pt shot to a 70?

            Ive read that the yellow bars are the max you can upgrade from the start and you can use the extra upgrades you unlock to go up to the white line so it might be a bit higher.

                I'm intrigued by a Post Scorer / Shot Creator combo. Three HoF badges and what looks to be a pretty sweet mid-range stroke.

                  @ all Point forward:

                  I just noticed a HUGE change from 2k17: HOF ankle breaker badge replaced by HOF break starter


                  I like that

                    So you can forsake Ball Handling for Passing, but to get the high Passing max, but then you're not fully exploiting the benefit of the archetype you're locking in.
                    If it's like the previous games, you only have a certain number of upgrades to use; we won't be able to upgrade to the cap of every single attribute. So by leaving playmaking untouched and only upgrading passing, that leaves you with more upgrades to use on other attributes, so in a way you are nearly getting full benefit from it.

                      Slasher/shot creator is offensively scary. Seems like my playstyle or scoring within the arc.

                        1. Shot Creator - 2.Playmaker it isssss. Just debating whether I'm going 6'3, 6'4 or 6'6.

                        I figured I should be able to dominate the 1v1 court and also be a great passing point guard for my squad with this build.

                          Ben Simmons and taller Draymond Green is exactly how I want to be able to play.

                          My dream sequence is blocking a guy, getting the board, pushing it down the court, hitting a guy at half court with a crossover, then throwing an alley oop to a teammate


                          I really want to push tempo when I'm in the game. I was so slow as a post scorer last year that I felt like I was in cement
