    Nice statline


    Most difficult thing for a triple double at SF spot are definitely rebounds, especially if you have two real bigs in your team

      It's a different stack for each build this year.

      You will see your upgrades available with yellow indicating a soft cap and white indicating a hard cap.

      You control the yellow cap but the white cap is given at a time on 2Ks discretion.

      So as an example, you might have 80 as your initial cap on mid range but still 3 more upgrades available after that: the catch is that 2k will decide when you unlock those upgrades 😦

        I was thinking about making a Sharpshooting Rim Protector, either at the 4 or 5. What are some real life players that play like this build?

                  Channing Fryes best all around games where he actually decided to play some post defense id say he played like a Rim Protecting Sharp

                  Ibaka yes

                  Rasheed Wallace?

                  Zydrunas Ilgaskus in his later career?


                  Idk that’s a weird combo of skills

                    7'3 pure post scorers that understand how to utilize the post game for sure.

                    I've consistently been able to stop every other build with my playmaking defender.

                    I actually think shot creating slashers are the hardest wings to guard.

                    Shot Creators seemingly have the same 2 or 3 moves they do all day, running to the base line or elbow for a midrange shot, easy enough to predict where they'll go.

                    shot creating slasher or playmaking slasher would mimic them.

                    You can't create LeBron lol it's impossible, he's too well rounded.

                      I’d agree with Sharpshooting Slasher, as a Center. If they’ve got a quick release and I sag off them to defend the drive, I get torched. If I close out on them and they drive, I’m in trouble because of how slow I am. Gotta pray for the chase down block. And since I’m the Center, sometimes there’s no one waiting in the lane for them.

                      That said, I only find them difficult to defend. I can typically wreck them on the glass and I generally find they don’t have as big of a defensive impact. Even with my limited two way rebounder, I can bully them in the paint. Where they do shine is situations where they have a second Center to protect the rim and grab boards for them.

                        I feel like I finally broke the glass ceiling on my playmaker. I can shoot, pass, dribble, and defend 1-4. Last couple of weeks of Playground been pretty damn fun lowkey.

                        I've only had the game a month and a 90 ovr already with just 1 build loving it so far just think i should of went smaller. 7'2 slashing rebounder. I dominate tho but still have trouble with some builds

                          Lebron is impossible to recreate more for his mix height/weight/speed/strenght than for his skillset


                          A slashing playmaker can mimic his skillset quite well.

                            I’m still trying to figure out the best build for myself. I like to do a little bit of everything. Any suggestions?

                              Pick 2 things you wanna do then


                              If you are playing offline only then ok pick maybe a 6’ 9” point forward. Can dunk pass shoot and defend and rebound



                              If you play mostly online just give up that you’ll ever play with teammates that will cater to your all around game. Pick 2 things you really want to do well. If you wanna rebound and dunk pick a finishing rebounder. If you like shooting and passing pick and sharpshooting playmaker




                              Ppl online suck so hard man if you try to make an all around dude you’ll never be utilized correctly

                                Good looks I was debating between those two builds actually lol I think I’m going to go with a 6’9” or 6’10” Playmaking Slasher just because of his versatility to play the 2-5
