Dual Archetypes Confirmed... Thoughts? Combinations?

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

Wait, you almost maxed out his speed with the ball and it's only 63?


Btw do you remember your initial ratings for speed and speed with the ball?

No I don't remember my initial speed with ball which was a mistake on my part.
I'm wondering if it's tied to ball handling or if it's in speed tho?
I will upgrade it one more bar just to check although I am two off my yellow cap and three away from my white cap so doesn't look promising if it is.

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

Wow I just upgraded it to the max yellow cap so now I am only one away from my white cap in ball handling and my ball control rating went up one point to 76 and speed with ball went up to 65.

That is some BS.

Thinking of making a pure point forward now but I hate how long the prelude is snd we can't skip nothing.

What height ? those 6'8-'6'10 speedy point forwards made no sense in 2k17, if you are around this height your speed seem normal imo .

Has anyone posted max attribute levels for certain builds yet?

I'm 6'9 208lbs

But I just like pushing the pace it's more fun to play but I'm a great boarder just coz of position. Point forward last 2k was perfect build for me.

I tried a couple of point forward SF builds but I feel that this year going with playmaking as primary (or pure playmaking) makes sense only if you are the primary (or the only one) ballhandler in your team.


And it's not always the case if you are at SF.


That's why I'm leaning to a build with playmaking as secondary (shotmaker is the most balanced and versatile offensive build by far) or to 2 way shotcreator (probably the best all around wing build)

Fyi: you can skip games in the prelude, quitting and going back to main menu

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

Liking my build so far . Defense is great on the wings. I can't slow bigs down at all. Hopefully defensive stopper silver and higher strength will help. My ability to create shots at 6'8 leaves a bit to be desired too. But I'm only a 74 at the moment.

Oh BTW you need 162k for HOF badges.

Can you give me some more insight on this build?
I'm really intrigued by it


Eg did you figure out which are the gold and silver secondary badges?

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

For anyone wondering... A 6'5 PG. Playmaker / sharp. A maxed 3 is an 82(with the white bars included) with a max wingspan.



Actually go to nba2k lab and use that as an reference. It's actually pretty accurate. Just take off 3 pts for the shooting if you maxing the wingspan

well i just made a pure point forward same as my last point forward from 2k17.

playing prelude I was blowing by defenders making layups and still getting boards.. I'm gonna play my first career game now but the badges for pure playmaker are perfect for how I play.

the only badge I wish I had was hustle rebounder but I maxed that on my finisher build at bronze which was pretty lame.

I'm gonna switch between the two see which I like more but I have a feeling that pure builds will be OP this year just like last year.

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

I have a really hard time choosing my build this year.

- Anyone playing with a shot creator / playmaker? I am thinking of doing this build as a 6'5 PG. Get the elite dribbles, the decent 3, the fades and the decent drives to the basket.

- My first thought was making a 6'5 PG shot creator/slasher for a good driving guard, but the badges on the shotmaker is better. And the shotmaker also gets relentless finisher and acrobat.

Usually im only playing mycareer so not looking for a Playground DEMIGOD build, but a fun offline build.

162k for a HoF badge seems like a ****ty *** grind. I assume the badge progress does not stop after one season? Some of the badges last year was on a seasonal basis, get 200 double moves to a basket in a season kinda thing.

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

6'8 230 shot creator / defender .

I was thinking about creating a Shot Creator / Defender myself. Would you mind giving some stats like your midrange, 3pt, speed, lateral quickness, strength? Would be appreciated.

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

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

Silver: relentless finisher posterizer hustle rebounder breakstarter pick and roller rim protector + 1 not sure yet. Bronze: charge card,tireless scorer,defensive stopper

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

Hey does anyone know if having a defender archetype ACTUALLY helps on defense? Last year I was a great defender in pro am and my defensive attributes weren't that great at all

I am a pure rim protector as a PF. I am only 71 rated right now so tough to tell but the badges are pretty good. I think you get both pick pocket and rim protector at either Gold or higher depending on your position.

Do you plan to be a big guy or a wing?
