Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

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

Made a Sharpshooter/Slashing 6'7 SF yesterday to see if the build had any worth but I found out the dunking would barely be around 75.

I thought the secondary archetype would at least get ratings in the very low 80s. Is there any way to make one that gets 80 dunk?

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

Anybody tried a pure playmaker?

Considering either:

6'4 PG (99 speed / 99 speed with ball)

6'7 - 6'10 SF (6'7 - 6'8 for 90+ ball control or 6'9 - 6'10 for more height)

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

I finally unlocked pro dribble moves with my 6'8" shot-creating slasher (got my 2nd ball control upgrade at the final level 88 capbreaker, which was a nice surprise).

Such a fun character to play with improved handles and pretty much unguardable by non-lockdowns in the park.

you would have to flip it where slashing was the primary, but then your 3 would only be around a 76

Man my 6’8 Shot Creator -Lockdown still doesnt have pro dribble moves and I’m a 90. Been at 74 for a while. Is it a nice upgrade ?

Another thing ; my speed with ball hinders my shot creating ability. Any tips for guys our size ?

Pro dribble moves are a really nice upgrade but it's no "I win" button like the speed boosters get.

Speed with ball is a definite issue in the half-court when One Man Fast Break isn't firing. I use simple moves like a cross-over or behind the back while driving laterally to get a little space...lay off the turbo.

My primary is slasher, so if I get some separation I am going to try and dunk on you. I haven't even tried to incorporate moving midrange shots yet even though the stats are decent. My shot-creating secondary is purely for keeping defenders honest who like to drop to the paint when they see a slasher.

Anyone knows at what level you ublock the last ballet control cap for slashing shot creator? I gonna playa with a pg that can do it all but don know what really worth it. Playmaking shot creator(speed boost since 85ovrl) , pure shot creator(speedboost un 90s ovrl ) por slashing shot creator ( better badges han everyone but probably the last todo hit 86 ball control) . all for pg 6'3. Sorry for my english

It is annoying waiting to unlock the next cap for ballhandling.

I'm a 6'10 shot creator/slasher and it's at 74 but im an 89 just waiting for that cap to go up.

The best thing I do for creating space as of right now is to catch the ball in a triple threat...pump fake or jab step to get separation...drive and when the defender is recovering hit em with a step back into a jumper..after you show em that move a couple times you can step back into a pump and draw the foul or into a crossover or hesi and drive.

you're going to play AT LEAST!!!! to 93, but my guess is 94. I'm a bit pissed, but hey, it's a goal you can reach throughout the year

Looking for advice. I wanna create wing defender for pro am that can effectively guard 1 thru 3 but still have enough offense when needed. Any wing defenders out there can help.

My current player is 6’10 shot creator athetlic finisher power forward. After playing this guy thought about primary shot creator secdoary lockdown. But I’m sure some of you have better idea of insight into wing defenders.

Go Slashing Primary and you will get 84 Driving Dunk which will unlock all the contact dunks. Your 3 ball will be 76 which is great paired with your shooting badges.

Here is a link for reference with a my player builder:

I have a Rebounding Rim Protector, PF 6'10". You also get HOF Brusier, not Gold. Even at silver for the key badges like Hustle Rebounder/Posteriser it makes a big difference. I've got enough speed as well to keep up with some wings defensively. It's a fun build and there's not many like it, usually they're either 7'3" or rebounding/slasher primaries.



Post scorers are the ones who give me the most grief, but there's not really a build that can stop them anyway.

It’s nice that you get HOF Bruiser...but do you really think you can get to HOF on the bruiser badge. That grind is DEADLY. unless there’s a new secret out

I have a pure playmaker, 6’4 standard weight I believe. That 99 is pretty nice and with my play style it works, because I have no desire to score. I notice that the passes tend to reach their target a little more in pro am (when I make those risky passes). 99 passing. Once dimer and pnr maestro gets HOF I’ll be pretty deadly with the right team

I have the exact same build but 6'9. He can do a little bit of everything but that's only after you get most of the shooting badges to gold especially difficult shot. Defensively he's a beast, I made him 265 so he can effectively guard 1-4. Only gripe about is the handle and general shooting stats are a bit low.
