I wouldn't label them as real when they didn't come from 2k18 and are your estimate based on 2k17. It's misinformation

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

Not sure, but I think it is different than last few years. Where i don't think you will see the Badge threads this year saying how many times you have to do something to get a badge. I think users will have the choice to choose where the XP goes towards a badge. So I think you can pretty much choose to focus on which badge to work on. But during Practice you work on certain badges

I don't think you choose. From what I've seen you get the XP based on the things you do in game. So while it's not exactly like last year it is similar in that you need a certain amount. Now instead of it being a set number of times, you get XP based on your moves and that XP is added to the badge progress , but you don't technically get to choose

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

yeah i'm really tempted to go with a shot creator build...

Biggest question for me is: do I go for playmaker/shot creator, shot creator/playmaker, playmaker/ inside finisher or inside finisher/playmaker?

All I wanna do is have handles and finish at the rim with layups.

If you want to have handles and finish then why shot creator ? Playmaker / finisher sounds more fitting .

I like the finishing / playmaker build a lot. HOF one man fastbreak and acrobat . Gold posterizer , relentless finisher , and ankle breaker . Plus 3 other gold badges and 7 silver. I expect dimer , lob city pssser , and pick n roll maestro to at LEAST be silver .

If you want more shooting playmaking / driving is cool to . IMO shot creator is more fitting for midrange shooters .

I worry that playmaking will leave me with no mid-range shot so I become solely a drive and kick player. Plus the only reason I wanna have finisher is for the badges and for layups but don't want dunking attributes I could put in mid-range and threes.

Shot creator I can finish with layups, have a mid-range game, get great badges for difficult shots, and there is less drop off with my speed with ball ratings if its tied to playmaking.

Having a few extra bars in general speed doesn't do much if I can't match my court speed with my speed on the ball

Just spent the last 2 hours at work looking at this spreadsheet with estimates for caps and still have no idea what to pick lol. Making SF first. Ideally would like to be able to shoot from 3, have decent speed and some finishing ability.

Legendary badge. is it confirmed your badges go up one tier when you reach level 99?

Probably. It's safe to assume it's that, or it's replacing the way the grand badge worked last year(I.e. when you get hot, you're suddenly unstoppable). Would make sense considering I doubt there's any grand badges in the game currently due to dual archetypes.

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

Thanks bro.

But damn is it me or shot creator primary with some secondary look op as hell?

Definitely seems that way. Shot creator/playmaker was the plan, but definitely could make another with shot creator/defender. Looks crazy good too.

For people making a big, what height are you guys going? Is 7'3 still the move or is more realistic heights better due to the speed advantage?

I think 7'1 is best TBH. A lot of people do still run 7'3 in pro am squads and zone defense .

There is no difference between a 35 speed and a 50 speed so might as well go tall to help with D and Rebounding.

I'm thinking realistic on the center I make, especially since I'm going athletic with my primary. Pending caps of course, I'm thinking athletic rebounder or athletic defender, so I'd love the speed and vertical advantage when dealing with 7'3 guys
