Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

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

Honestly, I trust a player with a 73 overall rating more than a player with a 93 overall rating lol. Especially at this point in the cycle.

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

It kind of depends. If I'm in the park and I see a bunch of highly rated players I'm naturally inclined to think we're about to get a heavy dose of mozzarella and swiss. But then I look at their record and it's like a 40% win rate and then I know it's going to be alright.

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

Yeah i see 96s in the park all the time with records like 1269-2348 or some **** and I'm just like "lmfaooooooo"

We usually tear them up.

I think I'm about to hit 400wins over in park. I'm like 756~403. I think that's pretty bad LMFAO. We play team ball in park and that gets you some wins against scrubs but the 3 out iso ball kids know you can't guard anyone 1 on 1 in this game.

1269-2348 is nothing, i just saw someone with a record of 1578-3907

I'd feel less of a way about the upgrade system if I knew what upgrades I got at each cap breaker. For example, if I'm getting 75 ball control at 97 vs 87 OVR, I think I might pick another archetype.

Agreed.
I made a Sharp/Playmaker a little while back. Any build with Sharp nerfs athleticism. So it really limits the options you have on offense outside 3pt. My Ball Handle had a soft cap of 74 and a hard cap of 75. So with 74 ball handle and Bronze Ankle Breaker, I can get a little seperation. But 75 unlocks Pro animations that are quicker. But with the uncertainty of when I will get that cap breaker caused me to stop the build.
Should have let us choose the cap breaker. Why would I care about a Low 60s Post as a Guard, when I don't ever post up.

Yo I'm making my last player for 2k, and I want it to be a T-Mac build. Sharpshooting shot creator or playmaking shot creator? I don't wanna do slashing. Playmaking moves a lot better, but is sharpshooting shot creator too slow at 6'8 (73 speed)?

I've done about 500 games in the park... my best guess is sharpshooting shot creator is the best all-around build in the game; there is nothing more important than being able to open up the floor - you can playmake without attributes if you're smart.

With the price drop in VC, I just dumped $75 into 450K to experiment with builds and tide me over (and ideally help me figure out what build I want to use) until 2K19 - my sharpshooting slasher's tendency to brick wide open shots left me very unsatisfied; probably gonna max a pure sharp and sharpshooting shot creator and spend the rest on MT as you can build an all-diamond lineup for about 30K these days. I've never had a dominant squad or a MyPlayer that has satisfied me, so the potential is exciting.

Next is to buy the 2K19 anniversary edition with GCU and hopefully not make the same mistakes I did last year (like maxing out a rebounding defender); might split the difference at a shot creating sharp, but 2K can have my money for as much as I play this game, lol.

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

I just re-made my second build recently. I did slashing shot creator as a 6'4 pg thinking i could speed boost. I just re-did him at 6'8 as a SG to still get Dimer and Gold ankle breaker. He's been a blast. He's only a 75 and I'm on my 3rd team in 2 seasons. Lol i simulated the first year to skip cut scenes. Left Dallas, went up Washington. It wasn't what i originally wanted but i asked for more minutes from Detroit and my 2 other teams and they pulled their offers. LMFAO then i played in Washington till i started. They were playing me at the 3 until Beal started under performing so i felt bad and went to NY after seeing PG was there.

Paul George is a monster on this game. I've played with him on 3different careers and he always gets buckets. Me at 6'8 at the 2or the 3then George at the 3 or the 4 is beasting.

I actually went ahead and did all this **** yesterday... and found out my sharpshooting slash is still the most free, all-around Park build.

The pure sharp ended up being a huge letdown: when I originally created him, I lowered the wingspan a bit so he could bang open treys and all that good ****, but then I started watching Agent 00's videos (who is like the expert of pure sharps), and he said if you didn't max shoulders/wingspan then don't even bother... so my three went from a 99 to 96 because of that and I am missing open threes in the park and in shoot around.... gonna have to play around with releases; the build also feels like you have cement shoes. Surprisingly was able to get blocks and rebounds with it (6'5" SG), but that's in my DNA.

Next was the sharpshooting shot creator, which I believed to be the best all-around build (and still might be); I went straight up the middle, with a 6'7", default everything small forward. The only suspect thing is the lateral quickness on defense.

So as a primary 3v3 park player, I went back to play with my 6'10" 250 sharpshooting slasher SF I modeled after Blake Griffin after he got traded to Detroit; I played a PNO game, put him at SF, cheesed to death and got 60 with him or something, and figured he was ideal for the park - he has just enough of a 3 ball that you can keep them honest if they don't respect it, but we all know what happens if they bite... someone's getting dunked on.

It's such a free build; it can truly do everything. I usually get stuck as the big man since everyone and their mom is guards, which is fine; I can block, rebound, am a decent enough shooter that I can camp at the three, etc. Almost always hit shots off a pass regardless of range since I got that badge; the quickness is fine, and you can bring the ball up.

The cherry on top was I opened a variety of MT pack with about 39K, got total garbage, quicksold everything and was only able to get two Amy players out of it.

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

This might sound crazy, but anyone ever experiment with not equipping dunks to slashers? How does it work out?

Only reason I say is because I had to unequip any fancy/cockback dunks because they all get blocked, but even the rest of them are prone to it as well; maybe layups would have less of a propensity of getting blocked?

Even with no dunks you get **** backs. With only SAFE dunks equipped, you get **** backs. Might as well equip the 360s.
