Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Rebounding rim is is the best 5 in the game. They are a major problem for the other team. Can rebound like a glass on non-rebounding first builds even if undersized. My guy is 6'11 but I made him fat with an 86 strength. That goes to 95 if I get takeover at a 91. I do wish l had gotten more cap breakers in my rebounding. I think I got ONE cap breaker in the entirety ive been playing him in rebounding. Right now, I have an 84 box out. And 81 rebounding with Gold hustle. I still havent grinded for Rim Protector HOF but Gold is nice. It doesnt improve how many blocks you get, i believe that is purely ratings based. With this build i only get an 89 block. Plus I'm undersized. So its not like I can just smack anything and 3verything online. But when guards drive in with hands up they will mostly miss. If i stay down I can usually get the board and Breakstarter silver is nice to zip it up court.

With a halfway decent 4, i can carry mediocre teams in the rec to some wins. But catch me on this build at the 4 with a rebounding 5? This build is deadly. I'm just as fast laterally as any taller guard or stretch so I can literally take stretches out the game with HOF defensive stopper. And guards/wings without speed with ball just run into a wall trying to drive. If i force my man to shoot his ratings are dropped dramatically.

I like having a defensive archetype, you can really blow up pick and rolls. A lot of the time when the guard turns the corner I'm able to get a steal because well.....steals are easier in this game

I made mine a bit skinnier with more mobility, sometimes I get outglassed by a 7'3 290 but I'll take what I can do all game over a possession here and there

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Honestly i dont like a rebounding rim at all.
Sure he’d a contender on defense.

But he brings nothing to the table on offense
I’ll have a sharprim or sharpreb at the 5 any time. He’ll hold is own on D and boards, and on offense he’d a threat from the corner, spreading the floor and opening up that paint.

Especially in rec where every random rebrim just stands the entire possesion on the low block

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Technically not ProAm related but this is what happens when you combine HOF Break Starter with HOF Flashy Passer, i wonder if the same is possible in Rec/ProAm?

That's just not true. A good one will know how to function within an offense. Don't need every player on the floor to have some kind of offense in their archetype. Yes, people who clog the paint suck, but that's the person who is doing their archetype an injustice.

Now if you're on a team with literally no shooting then of course it's a problem. But that's not the archetype's fault.

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

If I'm not mistaken, fadeaways count for difficult shots (I am mistaken, they don't)

I do think post scoring can work, but too many things have to go right for it to have a chance. I personally think it's better to use as a secondary tool---if I get my drive cut off I can post and spin out of it or throw them off with a fake, works better for me rather than going straight post right away

Every time I use one, the offense is fine, but I almost always prefer my rebounding rim protector --- I can impact every single possession with it, as long as I have guards who can create

Yeah I almost always gave great games with my post scorer too . But my lock scores just as many points and impacts the game more it seems .The game also just comes easier .

My friend made a new rebounding rim protector yesterday, the games where I twin towered with him are the ones where the team had an easier time scoring, honestly. Half the time we weren't even making it past half court lol. Brought out my shot post and didn't like it. Defense players can score just by being faster and doing energy things.

I do think the biggest difference maker for me is learning to shoot with it. I used to be afraid of shooting with non shooters but then I realized I was playing 2k and that everybody can shoot lol. Now I have the testicular fortitude to shoot 3s with it and somehow make them at about 50% [emoji23]

Non sequitor as a good player knows how to play with any archetype.

I’m talking about randoms in the rec, if i see a rebrim i know the paint is gonna be clogged almost every possession.

Of course in pro am that’s less of a problem as i’m confident the reb rim is someone that has the minimum amount of braincells

I’ve been feeling like that about pure glass cleaners lately . They are always crowding the paint . Of course there’s High players that aren’t like that .

But my squad prefers bigs that can shoot at least the Mid-Range jumper now . Flows much better.

Also playing with a rim protector is more fun than running with a glass IMO.

Yeah this is exactly why i prefer bigs with sharpshooting as their secondary. They’re a threat from the corner, spreading the D.

Preferrably 7ft PF’s instead of centers altogether

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

If the match making worked properly and with common sense in JRC. It would be a fantastic mode.

Nothing like my team where all 5 starters have each played no more than 30 games.

But the other team all 5 have records of 730-640 (no joke or exaggeration).

Match up all 10 players with similar records or in the same ball park. It can’t be that complicated.......

In PNO when I made it to GOAT league in early December I got game after game of fellow GOAT players from mid December until mid April.......no let up.

I’m sure it can work the other way around as well.

Yeah its really frustrating, I play solo and its ridiculous the amount of all pro squads I've run into. Most of the enjoyable games I've had are when you can tell both teams are mostly randoms and its actually a contest, unlike a team versus five randoms.

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Agree. If you're running with random, the other team should be random. If you are withba squad, you should only play other squads. This includes teams of 3 and 4. If you and a buddy,so one other player, you should be able to get,in the random. Pool. But if you are 3 deep and need,to pick up 2? Sorry... You're facing a full 5.

This with similar record match making should be a thing. This is why we need lobbies. It would allow us to choose which,mode we play. We should be able to join a lobby from the main menu without ever loading into a neighborhood if you don't want to. Only time you should have to load into a neighborhood is if you want to play park. Even running around the neighborhood to buy clothes is dumb. All these things, animations, accessories, should be available through the main menu. I should be able to change everything,on the fly without having to lpad my character.

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Having a tough time deciding my kyrie/Harden build.

Looking at a pure shot pg 6’4-6’5
Or a playmaking shot creator 6’4-6’6
