Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

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

Yea thats a dope 4 build. Lock it down against the bigs and still be able to cover the other teams best scorer. Hopefully you don't end up the 5 though.

Yea for Park it should be solid because from my experience what Bigs did there were either set screens or stretch the floor and my build helps counter that to a point.

For Pro AM when I was a big ish Paint Protector (7'1 280) I found that I really couldn't help protect the paint because any drive that I went to contest meant the other center is there for an easy dunk/offensive rebound. That I felt limited the effectiveness of my player.

As a faster PF the idea is the other team's PF won't be a fat guy so you can show up on help defense more to protect the rim.

Hopefully it works out as intended lol.

I agree with this . One tip I learned though for future references : putting your hands up will help contest and secure the rebound. I know there are moments as a paint protector where we HAVE to jump but limiting it helped a lot.

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

A lot of it depends on the build . I wouldn't go with an undersized Athletic finisher at center . But an undersized lockdown is a great build .

Definitely agree with this having run my 6'10 200lbs PP at the 5 in team Pro Am (Elite 2)
The last few weeks i made a 7'0 210lbs PP and a 6'11 205lbs AF looking for the highest vertical animations. The 6'11 is only slightly less athletic than the 6'10 whereas thre 7'0 is much slower, it seems like 6'11 is the tallest you can go while still being really athletic for the Center position.

The worst is when the PG blows his defensive assignment and you step up to help which gives the center an easy dunk.

Then they say you were the one who played bad defense

86 Ball Control is where you hit the Level 3 dribbler tier. If that's what you consider "speed boosting" then there's your answer.

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

Where my big men at ??.

What builds are you dead set on making, or want to experiment with for the park/am?

Are you going classic 7'3 or are you mixing it up again this year?

I'm leaning DEF/Athletic this year but I'm concerned about it's effectiveness in the park/am.

7'3 post/rebounder or rebounder/post if i dont like either build in the prelude im going pure glass cleaner.

darkhorse post/defender but i hate giving up hustle rebounder.

This is all I needed to know, which will help me decide what I'm going to sub with my Shot Creator main. If I can't find a way to keep a decent amount of height while hitting 86, I'll be using Playmaker as my sub.

I'm still finding all these Shot Creator bandwagoners funny, considering they were talking trash about us in 17.

I still need to know how height/weight factors in. Hopefully the prelude can tell me what I need to know...

A dev confirmed on twitter that badges will be raised one tier at 99. But does that include HOF ?

That's what I am wondering. They haven't confirmed anything higher than HOF...Yet.

I recommend Beluba's twitter right now . Tweeted a few good things about builds.

I saw in a video that it doesn't go past HOF. So, Golds or lower will go up 1. Diamond Badges will be CHEESE lol.

I'm not sure, but I don't think it goes past that

See, and it's tweets like this that piss me off. Like someone said, why even make it an archetype if they aren't allowed to have the same success as a standing shot of the same rating? That literally negates the purpose of the entire thing.

I'm starting to rethink this whole Shot Creator thing this year...
