Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

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

I say shot creating post scorer for versatility

But the pure post i think is the most dominant center build. If you playing the the right teammates then go pure all day

I'm always the focus on offense so I kinda like the idea of Hof post badges I mean I can still keep my other center and see which I do better with

Edit: I forgot I still get hall of fame badges as my shot creating post.

Only difference is 90 vs 99 strength and post scoring..but does it really make a difference???

I think it does.

99 post means better fades and hooks (these don't use badges, so they're all stats)
Means more winning animations at all your post moves.

And 99 strength to just drop step everybody off the ****ing court


I Made the mistake of making him 340lbs though. 295 should be enough as you max out str then anyway.

Still, i love my fatty. Especially on the 2court, with a good dribble partner.
I hang around the post, ISO all day.

I either get the pass and do my thing, or my buddy draws defender after cooking his own man, giving me a free look with the 80midrange

Yes I see no downside as a pure post, better rebounding post scoring vs slightly lower mid range and 3.
But tbh I just want to be down low and an 80 mid range is more than enough for me.

And the fact that default weight gives you 99 strength is a huge plus.

I bet he would kill in 2v2 I just do pro am tho, but still when you get a 1 on 1 down low I wanna bully my matchup so it still applies.

Gotta raise it a bit for compensating the max wingspan

How does one go for bruiser during games?

I still have no idea what activates a "hard hit"

That post up there has me a little thirsty for HOF bruiser

[3ShowTime2]

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

Id like to know as well. You definitely get Hard Hits for contesting Layups/Dunks with body contact, doesnt matter if successful or not. But I have games where I get 7-8 Hard Hits and games where I get only 1-2 and I dont know why...

Gold up and under is a noticeable difference from silver imo

That is my most used move and I’m seeing that the animations seem quicker on gold. Also i get blocked on the way up less with the gold badge. Fading backwards on the up and under is seeming to now be automatic when on silver i basically was never comfortable fading backwards. I also make more up and unders when guys are playing really tight D

Idk if I’m imagining this but when i got up and under on gold i started to notice that my defender will occasionally stutter and allow my move to go uncontested. This is significant because Iv seen like a split second where the defender is going to put his hands up and then his player looks like it stutters and the game forcefully keeps him in bad position and i score right over him for the bucket. I’m not willing to say this is what’s happening for sure yet as Iv only had it on gold for a short time but it’s already happened a couple times with gold and it never happened with bronze or silver. I wish i would’ve recorded it. I’m not talking about VS CPU either I’m taking VS users. I also have to say again that the up and unders where my momentum are going away from the basket either left right or backwards are going in ALOT more than silver. If a dude isn’t right on you or he doesn’t jump it’s become and automatic shot even as far as the free throw line. That’s insane



The animations you get for spins on gold are so insane. Like dudes falling down and stuff i love post spin on gold.

Pure Post scorers with HOF badges may be 2k18s best kept secret this year. 90% of the community has at least silver defensive stopper so since Iv gotta gold spin Iv been DEVASTATING guys with it.

Grinding for HOF brick wall via 2 v 2 drills is perhaps the most joyless endeavor I have ever participated in. I give up!

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

why do I seem to miss more dunks than I do wide open threes. and I'm talking about a plain old miss with nobody blocking the shot or even jumping up at it.

It's almost like they treat your dunk rating like they do your 3 pt rating when it comes to conversion rate

I feel it too. I didn't see this amount of missing earlier in the year. Now in this version of the game I see both the rim and backboard has a 99 shot contest and HOF Rim Protector.

I can't even say if it's timing-based either due to the removal of the feedback system on dunks and layups.
