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

any pure paints out there? is it worth it? seems like it's almost impossible to stop offensive big men in the paint this year.....

I've played a bunch of Pro Am games with a 6'11" pure paint protector as our team's only big man and I've yet to see him lose a game down low when it comes to allowing too many points or giving up to many rebounds.

Post Scorers get no love in Pro-Am or the Park...at least I can be useful.

Make a rebounding/finisher

Build 2

Any players on PS4 with high iq? I'm a 6'6 SG 92 Overall slashing defender. I'm down to run proam, walkon, or park.

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

Unless you build a team around a post scorer, it gets frustrating playing as one.

Especially since my other teammates are all slasher

People don't know enough about basketball to use post scorers. I gave up on mine. Sick of getting great position only to watch guys do zig zags and take shots.

Most people in this game think post scorer means post passer, lol.

Dump the ball into the post means one of us gets to cut and eat at the rim! *All 4 cuts at the same time*

It wouldn't be a horrible thing if people were strategic about it. Wing man feed the post, top guy sets a screen, swing man swings and cuts the paint

Yep. To be fair to these cutters, people do fall asleep on defense very easily and I think that's what they're counting on. But that ain't going to work when EVERYBODY does it, lol.

Thankfully most of the dudes I roll with are good about that. But most aren't, which is why I just don't play walk on with randoms anymore.

I can't do walk on anymore. I'm not that good at the game but I know basketball. So at least I'm in the right position and setting meaningful screens, etc.

I did make a slasher but the lanes get so crowded. Having a pure rim protector may actually may be fun given that Trend

Best T-Mac build? I'm stuck between playmaking shot creator or sharpshooting shot creator, but I'll take any ideas.

Slashing shot creator or shot creating slasher

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

Don't have the game yet, but I think I'm gonna roll with a 6'8 PF max weight/wingspan defender/shot creator. I thought about defender/playmaker before, but with the shot creator, I get putback king gold instead of bruiser gold, higher layups/dunks/midrange/post/defense. I would have loved to have silver dimer and a little more speed/stamina/ball security, but I can live with that. Only reason I don't think I should go SF is cuz I'll have pick pocket and bruiser compared to rim protector and putback king, but I will miss my defensive stopper badge working on SGs. But hey, I was a PF last year so why change now. Thought about slasher and dunking on ppl, but I would lose in the shooting department.

Are there any build websites that show the caps for at least max weight yet or wingspan? I just realized today that on nba2k.io, the highest weight they show for a PF is 238, which is the default weight, I think. I checked my 6'8 PF LDD from 2k17 and the weight was 290. So I've been basing the caps on a lower weight, I think. My guy was a 95 overall in 2k17, so I want to have around the same numbers or better in terms of offense. It looks like you can initially yellow max out all of your categories from the start in 18, as opposed to having to choose from a certain number of upgrades in 17. That seems like a good change.

Then I have another friend that likes to drive with 6 people in the paint and then get mad at me because I'm down there

I think max weight for a 6'8 SF is 280lb. I know you want a PF I am just giving you what I know off the top off my head.
