Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

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

What’s everyone’s view on defensive builds.

Looking at creating another player and thinking some combo of:

(Primary/secondary)
Slash/def
Def/slash
Def/sharp
Def/playmaking

I have an undersized slash/defending SF and I love it but I’m wondering if it’s viable at the pro am level w/o being able to stretch the floor. I like the idea of a draymond 6’7ish player at the def/playmaking route but I’m scared it will be too mediocre a playmaking wasting a skill set.

Save me some time and money here with your experiences.

Def / Sharp is more viable at higher elite levels .

If you're looking for a complete wing player, defense, 3, off ball speed, and of course the contacts, I'd recommend a 6'8 or 6'9 sharp/slasher. Sharp secondary and slashing first. Your defense isn't the same as putting defense in your build but slasher first anything gets decent strength and vertical. That means you're getting rebounds and blocking shots. I think slasher is the better defensive archetype because ratings on D don't matter past a 70. My pure slasher is my best defender, his only problem is the 3. If I could remake him, that's what I'd do. I already have a shot creator primary and slasher secondary. He does everything well, nothing great. But my build was 6'4 PG do I could speed boost. I would recommend this build for pure scoring as I've had most of my 30 point games on him but as far as defender goes, he's lacking.

What about shot creating slasher, get that decent mid range of the shot creator and the physicality of the slasher.

This is a good build. I have a 6'8" sc-slasher and he can do it all except shoot a 3.

Me too, 6'9 and at PF. Cant wait to get 75 ball control. Completely underrated build...

Pro dribble moves are a nice upgrade. I think I hit this threshold at level 89 so the grind isn't horrible.

Not at PF unfortunately, im at 89 currently and waiting for the last bar that brings me to 75.

I was thinking a 6’6 SG, kinda like a early to prime MJ but obviously not as good

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

I've been stanning for them since day 1!

Well...more like day 30. Because my first player got deleted and I had to re-do it.
Which, by the way, is why WE NEED TO BE ALLOWED TO RESET THINGS. So you know, things like "I would trade in ball handling for better finishing ability" is a possibility.

I get why 2k doesn’t allow it but the diehards would still have multiple players they put money into anyway. There should be a master file you can reset to an 85 as many times as you want. Then your other players can’t be reset. Also you’d have to stay at your original position for your master file so you can’t have a SG one day and then a C the next just cause your team needs one.

But this is exactly why I wish things would change (Knowing they won't)
I pretty much have about 10 or so people I run with, some much more frequently than others. But it's a problem because so few of us have legit big men, so when it's a certain combination of people it's an awkward lineup.

I'm not sold on this build. A buddy of mine was talking about making one about 6'7- 6'8 I told him to flip it. The shot creator first gives you a better 3, the most gold badges on the game and the ratings are much better for being all around.

Think about this, an 86 driving dunk with gold posterizer and 70 3 ball without touching wingspan. With a 70 something mid.

Or, a 75 3 ball with Max wingspan. Silver posterizer, 80+ mid with better ball handling and more gold badges.

Like I said, if I want worried about the speed boosting when I made him, I would have gone 6'6-6'8 and had the most complete wing scorer ever.

The counter is both builds are not exactly money wide open. They're decent. But with slasher first, sharp second, you give up moving shots for standing which are more reliable anyways.

My pull up game on my shot creator has been off the last month otherwise I'd still be running that build more. I'd rather be a catch and shiot threat with the ability to murder centers when my man crashes hard at me on the wing.

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

^^^^Have you used your build in team yet ? I’ve had him for a month or so and don’t feel confident with him lol .


What do you guys think of a pure athletic finisher 7’

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

Game with 2 good PGs on both teams. 2k is crazy how it is literally a totally different experience when the point guard actually cares about others scoring

Don't do it. Remake your AF from last year. 6'10 and you'll see you can literally run 2-5 pretty easily. Not saying the 5 will be easy but it's possible. 2-4 and you're a beast defensively with the ability to drive past all other bigs with that 58 ball speed. My 2 best friends made similar builds. My one buddy did slasher/rebounder in that order, he wishes he would have gone pure even tho he's the most dominant PF I know.

My other buddy did 6'10 pure and he underutilizes him. I've seen the 91 contact with HOF and the 99 contact with HOF and I swear the pure gets better animations. At 6'10 default weight you get all the driving contacts with the standing, hustle silver, Chase down silver, and best of all you get love city finisher HOF, put back HOF (which he gets more than the half rebounder even tho higher ratings and same badge, one man silver, it's just the best all around PF build in the game IMO. The half rebounder does get more rebounds but not enough to warrant being a half breed.
