Hoping D is actually going to matter this year as I got burned making my paint protecting center that was basically useless online last year. I seen a chart on ipods youtube showing how many badges you can earn with each type of build, they vary from what that shows so that will factor into builds as you can't earn as many badges with one build to the other.

I usually create 3 player types. Nate Robinson, LeBron, and AI. So these dual Archetypes will help a lot.

I can't wait to see the builds you guys make. This will be a lot of fun .

Yeah. I usually don't create Wings. I usually do a PG or PF/C. I did a LDD PF last year. But thinking back, I pretty much played SF most of the time and I didn't play back to basket. So if I wanted to create a similar player I would go towards a LDD/Slasher. But I want to switch it up. Maybe I want to play as a Point Forward. I always do a playmaking PG. So with LDD/Playmaker SF, I should have high athleticism and defense and good ball handling. But how would I score consistently.
So many options lol

I feel you. I hope they also nerfed the size of centers. To def and to block, it was more important be tall that to be specialized in defense.

Last year, I wanted to take advantage of the speed bonus of the paint protector so I made a "small" center (2m13) and I finished by no getting that much blocks or good defenses. I was always bullied in the paint.

I created another center, a post scorer, with max size and weight and I finished by better defending the paint with him and getting more blocks.

I was so mad bro.

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

ok since my thread got locked I guess ill just bury it in here and be much more blunt about it.

Im tired of every slashing build being a dunker. I get it that I can just upgrade the layups and not the dunks now but then will I even get to 99ovr with 0 dunking in a slashing build? They need a build for small players that dont dunk but then you could use more points for shooting or passing

If it's like 2K17, you won't have enough upgrades to max out every single cap. So any upgrades you don't use on dunking means more to use on other attributes. I'm assuming 2K18 works the same way, but I'm not 100% sure.

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

I get that. I would just leave it at 0 and try to max everything else. I cant recall but how many upgrades did we get on the last one? That would leave me with around 20 upgrades free to you on other areas but my other areas are still guna be caped off low while my dunking would have one of my highest caps

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

Between these three archetypes, which of these dual archetypes BEST resemble PG players?

Shot Creator / Driving & Finishing = ?

Driving & Finishing / Passing & Ball Handling = ?

Driving Finishing / Shot Creator = ?

I'm really trying to recreate myself as a 6ft flat PG. in real life I'm 6'0 170. I'm a slasher like LBJ, Harden or Westbrook, passer Like CP3 & a Shot Creator like Harden. Which dual archetype would truly create me badge wise and cap wise?

TL;DR- I want to create myself and need help distinguishing the differences of the archetypes I posted. Also what height would you go to be more balanced? I'm effective in real life but I feel I will be 6'0 too short in 2K.

You pretty much named 3 builds so its going to be hard to recreate exactly what you want. 6' is good enough for a PG but if you want more balance I would go 6'3 or 6'4. Other than that just decide what you want to be good at more

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

Is it even going to be possible to make a 3&D player?

Just looking through the spreadsheet posted earlier in the thread, if you make a sharpshooter/defending... you've got a player maxing out at around 90 in 3s, but only 75ish in speed. I think that'll make it tougher to defend.

For someone who goes defending/sharpshooter, your three point rating looks like it will max out at about 63, so they probably won't shoot very well at that rating, right?

Just wondering on this because I'm trying to construct a team with friends, but not sure how to make this build work for a SF.

If the number you are posting are correct then I totally agree with you. Would be nice if there were a little more middle ground. A little lower than 90 and mid 80s speed would be nice and 63 is just too low for someone that is supposed to be a shooter

I'll admit that my interpretation of those numbers could be completely off. But, if they are from 1-25, I assumed a 25 would be a 99 rating in the attribute and then worked my way down from there.

Hope there is a more balanced way to do this. I want to be able to make a two-way player, not a no-way player.
