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’

I have use him in team, I wasn't dropping stats like this but he held his own. I just played against a person using a pure athletic build and he just destroyed me. Almost fouled out trying to block his dunks lol

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

Any inside build that doesn't have at least silver rim protector becomes baby food this year against builds that have gold/HOF posterizer or gold/HOF post moves.

Two-way athletic finisher is a much better build than the pure athletic finisher for that reason. You'll still get HOF posterizer, but you're not baby food on defense like the pure athletic finisher is.

I played on a team with a two-way athletic finisher who dropped 60 points in a game earlier this month.

Putting defense in your build means you lose more on offense than you would if you would have gone pure. The ten points they add to defensive stats and the loss of some offensive badges is not a good trade off in this game. Sure, you'll get more blocks but your off ball speed, mid, 3, all of that is worth more than 10 points to defense.

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

I made him a PF . We have a 6’11 Def / Sharp at the 3 with gold rim protector and a slashing rebounder at the 5. I’ll be at the 4. We can switch matchups. 6’10 was kind of short for me last year.

Besides it’s just a walk on build for now. I have a two way rebounder already with gold rim Protector. And a sharpahooting rebounder with silver rim protector .

Off ball speed is the same, Pure gets +1 midrange, 3 is the same

Yeah, I toyed with it at C at 294 to be baby Shaq even tho Shaq was 7'1 and with a 70 rebound, strength, and block rating I still got dusted. He was never maxed at all, just a "hey, what would 10k do?" He was fun in career but I decided on a 7'3 rebounder first slasher second and he is a bum too. I'm more guard oriented anyway. I understand what's needed at every position but without the post being effective my Dirk build was not what I imagined. I love my slasher the most, he's so close to HOF posterizer and relentless I'm almost ready to just run him exclusively but I can put 30 on almost every team on a good percentage but 3s kill 2s every time.

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

Well.. they done messed up. Ran a couple walk on games this morning with randoms. First on my point forward, we lose a close game but I had a good line, meh. Tried to get on my center who's a 71 over with Max rebound and silver hustle silver passing protector and get dusted by a same build badged out.

So long story short, I ran a Jordan build last year who looked strikingly like him I must say. Lol I watched a few videos on how to make him accurately look like him. SO I DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. #23 is back, I'm not running on any other characters anymore. They say you play the game to have fun, I know it's gonna put a target on my back too. Everyone's gonna be coming for me. It's time to eat faces again. I don't care. They brought out the beast.

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

Just dropped 40 on randoms and made their whole team quit.

Why oh why can't I convince my friends I could do this regularly with the right spacing? Buddy gets to run on his athletic, I can't run my slasher the same line up?

I can't imagine grinding pure ANYTHING at this point, especially because I know you got plenty of other players. You don't really feel the true pureness until you get some HOF badges.

What’s he Jordan build you speak of. 6’6 pure slash?

I've been contemplating making a Wizards Jordan build 6'5" shot creating post scorer gets hall of fame post badges + 91 post ratings + pro dribble moves.

Putting defense in your build means you lose more on offense than you would if you would have gone pure. The ten points they add to defensive stats and the loss of some offensive badges is not a good trade off in this game. Sure, you'll get more blocks but your off ball speed, mid, 3, all of that is worth more than 10 points to defense.

In this game, you don't put defense in your build to get more blocks; you do it to negate the unbreakable posterizer canimations and the unfavorable postspin/dropstep canimations that will automatically move your defender out of position.

And there's really not much of a trade-off offensively since you still have hall of fame posterizer. Go check out TheFinalEvent 97's youtube channel if you won't take my word for how good the offensive abilities are on that two-way athletic build:
