Assuming archetypes are similar in 2k19, what you making?

Re: Assuming archetypes are similar in 2k19, what you making?

Considering how the shooting ratings and badges are setup this year to heavily penalize height and wingspan, I think it's going to be better to have both of your bigs playing inside the three point line, with the athletic finisher being your rim runner, and your post scorer being your mid-range/isolation threat.

Then just make sure that all three of your perimeter players can at least hit a corner three consistently and you should be fine, spacing wise.

There's enough room inside the arc for two non-shooters to coexist, but once you have three non-shooters it becomes too crowded down there.

Well i hope they relaxed the misses from last year cause i like 3 pointers but last year it was atrocious trying to hit

It actually sounds like it will be harder to hit shots. And that's a much welcome change, last year shooting percentages for shooters and non shooters were WAAAY too high.

I was thinking about making a PF sharpshooting rim protector because I'm not sure how many shooters we will have on our team & that's the build I made last year, just at SF. Right now it seems like our PG is leaning towards a pure shot creator & our SF a playmaking slasher. SG and C is undetermined right now, but I like your idea of a 2 way athletic finisher for C. Our C last year was a rebounding athletic finisher. SG will probably have to be a shooter then. I just hope it's not too hard for me to make shots if what you say about the proam being tougher to make shots cuz of HOF difficulty. I think I still wanna take that risk though cuz I'm not sure what other build I would be happy with. I also like the idea of a shot post at PF.

SF, Sharpshooting Slasher.

I see this as the most versatile build offensively having an inside and outside game. In comparison, other builds may have badge & attribute advantages over this one but the balance will be crucial in the long run.

I made a PF sharp post last year that was two clicks below default wingspan and he was about a 50% shooter from the corner three and a 40% shooter from the wing/top of the key three with his 75 three point rating, silver shooting badges, and all of the hot spots unlocked.

Problem is, I don't know if that build is going to be anywhere near as reliable from three in 2K19 with the tougher shooting sliders, reduced shooting ratings/badges for bigs, no floor general badge for playmakers, and hot spots that have to be earned in online matches on HOF difficulty.

If you want to have a reliable three point shooting big man in 2K19 who doesn't get kicked around like a tin can on defense, then I think he's going to have to be either a PF two-way stretch or a rebounding stretch this year.

Which spot?

Probably SF

I need the full version of the game to check the stats, but it's either:

• C 7'1" Pure Post Scorer (3/4 wingspan, 3/4 weight)
• PF 6'11" Shot-Creating Post-Scorer (default wingspan/weight)

I’m debating between a def / sharp Pf and two way sharp PF for my second build for our tram .

I’m in no rush to make him . Need to see how defense and shooting is first .
I prefer to go Def / sharp .

I've usually played as a PG in the past, but this year I'm going to change it up slightly and play as a SG. (My goal is to end up on my Cavs and help with the post LeBron rebuild, and being a point doesn't make sense). But since I've never played as a 2, I'm stuck on where I should focus my build. I'm not too worried about being a dribble god as even as a point I thrived on smart passing, driving, and shot making. I want to be good at shooting 3s, driving, and defending, but I am struggling at finding a build that does all three well. Any suggestions would be great.

Last year I made a PF shot creating post scorer. I love shooting from the post and using my strength to back off defenders and then scoring. Love it. I love doing that more than shooting 3's.

I know those builds will definitely be able to shoot more consistently, but then my defense will take a hit in terms of attributes & badges. I just feel that I always need defense primary. I care moreso about defense than offense, in general.

I look at Draymond in 2k18 & his open 3 is 75, bronze catch & shoot, no corner specialist badge. Online on HOF, I could hit at a decent clip in the corner if my timing was good. Assuming that Draymond's stuff is the same this year, at the very least I should be able to shoot a little better than Draymond with 75 open 3, silver catch & shoot, and silver corner specialist, even if it is harder to make shots this year. I could be completely wrong, but that's how I look at it.

Yeah me too.
With 3 & D builds, I think is better to go Defensive primary. I just don't think the defensive badges will make up for the lack of athleticism you get will the Sharp primary. You'll have to sacrifice wingspan to get decent 3pt rating. But the quickness and badges will make up on defense. And even with 76-82 3pt rating you'll probably get with lower wingspan, you should still knock down a decent clip with Silver shooting badges.

Plus with Wingspans being longer now, it is more incentive to lower your winspan. I think in the demo my 6'8 SF wingspan could go up to almost 8'. I don't mind lowering my wingspan to get higher 3pt rating. So if that means lowering my PF wing span to 7' to get higher 3pt, then I will be more than fine doing so
