Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

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

Only way this works if the caps are right and gameplay is as solid as they say. Otherwise this will be a cheese fest.

Damn. This exactly what I didn't want in the game -_-

This game is going to live and die by the 3 even more so now, and anyone without a shooting sub Archetype will be pretty useless.

....if the Speed With ball is alright, or at least has a good first step....This might be me. How's that b-real bar go? "Get out the lane I'm coming through, and if you don't wanna move I'm coming right through you"

I'll bet anything that you will need to have playmaker archetype, to have good speed with the ball as a slasher. ''Pure'' probably means a super high driving drunk/layup

I want whatever Kyrie or Steph is tbh. I want to get as much use out of this new 1 v 1 dribble mechanic as possible. So most likely playmaker and shooting PG. I just hope it's not too cheesy. I want to be able to knock down an open three at a decent clip, not shoot 94% on stepback threes.

I had good speed last year as a Slasher. I feel like it will work like this: You pick Slasher and playmaker: Your skills that overlap average out(Like if Slasher has 88 speed with ball, and playmaker is 96, the combination will end up at 92.).

So It'll find a median between the numbers. Otherwise we're looking at some super broken possibilities.

I feel like that's the point of "Pure". Pure is just the straight up archetype, half and half has to be a balance of the 2, otherwise there's a ton of archetypes that will be useless and a few that there will be no point in not using.

I just hope shooting isn't so OP and is more realistic, and that there's different ways to generate offense at the highest levels besides all the non-sense that went on in the upper tiers last year.

We'll see later on how the combos work together. You really got to give people weaknesses that they can feel.

Or that things like shooting slasher has way lower caps than combos that would be naturally more realistic

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

Already thinking about a Sharpshooting Slasher or Playmaking slasher. Sounds like the only players able of guarding it will be the ones with defensive archetypes in their player. I like it

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

Looks like if you go 2 different archetypes you only have gold badges, 5 gold per archetype but if you go a single archetype you get the hof badges.. I don't like that. Some hof badges are OP like limitless.

Lol until you get two screens and the defensive player can't cheat low or high at all.

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

there should be a website about those archetypes

we need to know what we will build before we get the game

attributes, what badges we can get etc.

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

If the caps are pretty decent, I'll probably go with:

Jordan-esque - Two-Way Shot Creator SG
Playmaking Shot Creator SG (For the better ballhandling and speed with ball)
Pippen-esque - Playmaking Lockdown Defender SF

I think it going to be different caps for player builds rather than averages.

example:
pure sharpshooter
3pt: 94 max
speed: 78 max

sharpshooter/playmaker
3pt: 88 max
speed:82 max

...That's basically what I said. Playmaker 3 is currently like, 84ish, right? Median between that and 96 is 88-89.

It makes sense this way too.

Just heard from Kuda's stream that you have to be a pure archetype to get HOF badges.
