Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

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

I just realized that the PG position this year is going to be a worthless title. There are going to be so many dual archetypes with playmakers that really making a guy to run point is going to be frustrating if you don't play with your friends


I will be a main culprit. If I get a rebound I'm not gonna lie my first instinct will be to Draymond Green it and take off with it and look for a pass myself. I have to imagine I'm not the only big man making ball handing his secondary for this exact reason.


Something to think about if you want to make a PG this year.

Please don't be one of those bigs. Even Rockie will tell you, after the second time I see a big trying to bring the ball up court after a rebound, I have this natural tendency to start calling timeout on their butts, lol.

I hate seeing that. Get that ball up-court on fastbreaks. Not saying you have to bomb it every time, but I wanna see that ball moving fast on fastbreaks.

Lol I know what your talking about


I'm not gonna walk it up, hold it, wait for a screen and all that. I'm gonna get it, sprint it up, if I see a pass at any time I'll pass it but if I don't I'm gonna penetrate and try to bait someone to double and kick.


And if for some reason I make it all the way to the paint untouched AND guys don't come off their man. Feel these post scorer moves then buddy



Yeah I could see how ppl are gonna ruin that but I did it this year when I could and never got complaints because I was so willing to pass and I didn't force it to ppl and get them turnovers.

But yeah I can already tell some bigs will pick athletic finisher ball handlers and wont pass lol don't need to be a fortune teller to see that one

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

This. It's how I lived as a Slasher last year. "This guy over-shades baseline, Middle penetration" or "He's seen this move X times already, Let's see what happens when I tack this on the tail end".

I can/could instantly tell when a guy was decent to good by the way he'd play D. Giving me a subset of playmaker skills when I ran slasher like a 6'6 draymond last year is ridiculous. If they do not change the way it currently feels, all the youtube chumps talking about "These duals give you speed boosting" while ignoring the substandard defense are going to get wrecked.

Anyone worth a damn can tell this is NOT 2k17. At all.

Bro I say let them keep putting out those trash videos. They are gonna have a lot of upset viewers when they see how they are gonna get ate up defensively and all because they lust after speed boosting

I know what you're talking about, but there's been a LOT of walk ons I've played where when I grab the board, everybody else is already past half court. Even with bronze break starter I was not going to risk that pass.

Funny thing is the guys who are point guard just sprint out and never come for the ball at all.

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

I'm thinking either SC/Playmaker or Defender/Playmaker for my PG, but I'm struggling to decide with one to roll with. I think both could be a lot of fun.

What's so special about speed boosting?

It's sort of a simulation of a quick first step. Once you get it activated it can be much harder for a defender to keep up with you.

Speedboost in 2k games havent been about first step as everyone would just activate it off a dribble already. It just glitch move that let your player move with ball faster than he normally can.

and it's something different from the "momentum" dribble

But I'm also intrigued by a Post Scorer/Defender (or vice versa) Big. I hope I have made up my mind by Friday.

I'm too. Im thinking of creating a 7' 260 C later on in the NBA season.

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

I'm so hesitant to do anything cuz I'm the type to make 30 different players and it'll only be worse this year.

If things are relatively the same I know my bread and butter is gonna be a 7'2 post scorer, defender as my secondary type.

But I been playing the prelude and I want to be able to play small forward again. So I been trying every combo I can think of to be just a pure melo-esque scorer.

I'm not sure if I want to be a 6'8 sc/3 or SC/slasher...or even slasher/SC cuz I know speed is pretty important no matter what. It sucks cuz I know I'ma want to use my pre-order vc but I don't wanna make a mistake and waste it..then find a better build lol [emoji24][emoji24]

The fact that it seems like the road to 99 progress doesn't carry over to nba characters is forcing me with one character.

Especially because we can't see what attribute number we'll get until AFTER we spend the VC.

I'm gonna make 8 players with different builds, try and find out the their caps without spending VC and then delete the ones that don't feel good and maybe keep 3 in rotation throughout the year round, so I don't have to start to stary scratch every time.

But I'll definitely have one as my main probably my SF
