Re: Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

I have 2-3 more boxes in it. I'm at 70 now on off/Def rebounding

If i wasn't so damn busy i would take screenshots and show you lol.

Maybe I will but how do you attach pics here...

Officially confused on the rating's system this year then, that's wild considering the other builds/heights I've seen with lesser rebounding stat caps.

My Slasher last year could hit 80 with boosts. I'm not understanding the pure sharp, but my guy is a hyper athletic dude(legitimately Westbrook), he's got good vertical and that explains the high rebs to me.

I get Silver putback king FFS.

My slasher first playmaker has 82 Speed with ball. He is 6'4, however.

Look nice !

What’s your weight for this build ? And at what overall did you get the last upgrade for ball control ?

Thanks you.

Ball control was the last upgrade. Git it at 89 overall. Weight I am unsure. 200-215 if I had to guess. At work currently.

I made this guy in the prelude. I knew what I wanted, and Ironically every badge and attribute lined up to my exact playstyle.

Last year I ran Slasher like a playmaker, while crashing offensively for putbacks. I just lacked a solid "first step", a 3 ball, and couldn't get the "good" pass animations. I'm green on 3s with dimer, not maxed(1 bar left).

It's a solid build. It will probably catch a nerf at some point so I'm enjoying it now

Thanks, two last questions :

Did you made him at PG or SG ?

I really wanted to make this build since the prelude but i wanted to see some more informations.

No problem with dunking ?

SG. I can run point, but I enjoy the Wings so that I can crash if the opportunity presents itself.

No problems dunking since Day 1.

Slasher I somewhat understand, I don't think he should outrebound a 7'3 athletic C, but I suppose it's at the very least close.

A sharpshooter out-rebounding a 7'3 athletic C statistically makes ZERO sense to me lol

They won't out-rebound them statistically because height and reach still play into who gets the orange. The stat is just representative of who has the advantage if all things are equal - which they're not. It's no different than Post scoring. A small guy might have better attributes but it still doesn't mean he'll be more effective in the post. They could make it like speed and acceleration where your size directly impacts your attribute increment but they've never done that with rebounding for some reason.

This. You're better at mobile rebounds, they're better at stationary boards

Re: Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

So, I was going to stick with two builds (PG and 6'11" rebounding rim protector C) for the time being. However, a lot of people that I run with decided to make Centers this year and there's already a few SF's. Most of them seem to love to drive and be inside players which conflicts my C being at the 4. Since the grind takes a while and I have quite a bit of VC starting to build up, I figure I'll make one more player and thought I'd ask on here for options on what I should go with:

6'10 or 11 PF sharpshooter/rebounder: Basically a Kevin Love style build to help stretch the floor but not be a liability in rebounding. Guessing speed and defense won't be great. However this would stretch the floor and be able to allow everyone to maneuver around the paint.

7'3 sharpshooter/rebounder: I have never before in 2K made a 7'3" C (closest was 7'2" in 2K16). I felt for a long time that I never really needed it nor was the sacrifice in speed necessary. However from the sounds of it, it's not nearly as bad this year and size means a lot. This would allow another C to more than likely play the 4 but be inside while I stretch out the opposing big man of the team.

I'm open to other suggestions too but I don't want to clog the lane and it feels like others on the team want to be more inside oriented so as fun as some of these other builds sound, they wouldn't benefit the team in a positive way.

Re: Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

I plan on making a Shot Creator/Sharpshooter and want to put him on a contender so I'm thinking

SG on OKC
SF on Houston
SF Portland

Anybody got any advice to help me decide

Re: Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

Only thing I hate about my Kawhi build is the ball control which is a 74. But it is good enough to run point foward in spurts. Wish the speed was higher and defensive stopper was gold but he’s great. Jumper is wet and can finish with posters and floaters. Miss a lot of driving layups though. Defense is lockdown but not on Kawhi’s level.

Re: Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

I think I may make a playmaker/defender. Has anybody tried that? Sorry it's been a while since I was in here so I might have missed it.

Played some team-up games with friends and I just realized it's not in my DNA to shoot much. I just try to feed everybody else. The whole shot creator thing looked cute but it's probably just best for me to pick a player that aligns most with how I usually end up playing.

Hey, my play style exactly. Set up and pass to open man on offense, and one on one defense on the other end. Floor general with a whip!
