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

    Probably gonna rock out with shot creator/playmaker to make my Iverson-like pg/sg. Can live without HoF badges if thats the case gold will be good enough for me. Just hope to god its not another year of 3 point shooters dominating again. Cant take another year of that trash >.>

      I guess you didn't hear but the effectiveness of screens has been massively toned down. From what I heard, there won't be anymore people spamming behind screens and cheesing them anymore

        The effectiveness is down but the playmaker/shooter archetype is buffed. It will balance back out.

        They won't allow a playmaker/shooter build to not get elite ball handling dribble moves as it would upset the community. This they will be able to have the speed boosting, the size to finish at the rim, the shooting, etc.

        Point forwards will dominate this year more so than we've seen since the demi god builds in 2k15.

          There are a total of 189 different archetypes to choose from when you consider pures, hybrids and the 5 standard positions


          Sharpshooter x5
          Playmaker x3
          Lockdown Defender x5
          Shot Creator x5
          Slasher x5
          Glass Cleaner x3
          Post Scorer x3

          rest of them are hybrids

            Thank you 2k. Last years archetype system was very boring, this adds some real intrigue and strategy into making your team. Great addition.

                I like this it's as if a person decided to work on different parts of their game as opposed to specializing more. You can't have it all

                  Going old school with a post scorer/defensive anchor.

                    It's gonna be interesting to see the combinations and which are effective. Really looking forward to experimenting

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

                          attributes, what badges we can get etc.
                          we get the demo next week....you will be able to get all the info you need chillllllll

                            Maybe, haha i am the one who posted exactly this in my epic dual archetype thread. See devs read these threads. You guys can thank me later.

                            so far everything about my career is exactly how I said it should be in the thread.

                            I knew after writing about how much they would make if they did dual archetypes and exactly how to balance it they would do it. every time someone makes a post or video saying oh my God best OP build sharpshooter playmaker 6-9!!!! They could not resist.

                              Micheal Jordan and Kawhi Leonard archetype right there.

                              I'm going to go with a 6'8 Small Forward SharpShooter/Post Scorer. Going full on Melo build. And you know I'm going to be rocking the grey hoodie out there in the Playground lol.

                              But what I'm hoping for is that I can play the small ball 4 and stretch the defense out with my shooting and beating them off the dribble with the triple threat with my speed. And they have to guard me up close AND with a hand up because if I pull it and they're just holding the left trigger they are only going to get a weak contest animation. And you don't want those facing a sharpshooter with his badges because deadeye will just make it to where you aren't even there. Couple that with the new triple threat animation that includes a pumpfake to where you can jabstep, then pumpfake or pumpfake then jabstep, if they don't already have a hand up you can catch some people slipping.

                              And if I have a smaller/weaker matchup on me? With a post scorer? I'm going to kill them with hook drives, post spins, and dropsteps. And once they start overplaying those; the fadeaway game gets to come into play.

                              We're finally going to be able to play like Melo.
