Pro Am Builds For 2k19

I just now realized they kinda made post scorers more passing based so i went ahead and looked at what a power forward playmaking post scorer gets and i have to say i May have changed my archetype. The PF playmaking post gets 11 gold and 11 silver badges. All the post scorer badges go to gold and i get all the playmaking badges I’d want on my center at gold too. A dominate post scorer with gold dimer and gold lob city passer!!? Cmon dude that’s game over. If i use that archetype with 2 shot creating sharpshooters you literally can’t double me. If you do dimer is turning my shot creators into shooting gods or I’m throwing oops to them off cuts.


Think i fell in love with the offensive potential of the shot post but now that I’m looking at it this build could be really interesting.


Addition: Going playmaker secondary gives you the same speed as a post scoring defender


Addition 2: Basically this builds badges have PERFECT individual and team synergy. You are dominate in the post against small ball and keep your effectiveness again lockdowns and bigger centers because of your over the top passing ability. You basically cannot be doubles unless the other team wants to give up gold dimer assisted 3s

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

If dimer works like it did in 2K18, then the difference between silver and gold is only 2.5% more makes and greens for the person you're passing to.

So it's not worth sacrificing hall of fame scoring badges just to get a minuscule boost to your dimer passes.

The best finesse post scorer builds seem to be SG post scoring shot creator, PF shot creating post scorer, and C pure post scorer.

I haven't looked at any of the slasher/post mixes for creating a power post scorer, but I'm sure there are some good ones.

The pass accuracy, lob city gold and break starter do it for me man. Dimer is silver on shot post i think it’s worth it to lose your HOF badges to gain your secondary’s badges on gold. I think the shot post will be a win games build


The playmaking post is the build that fits how i play like a glove.

Hopefully the difference between silver and gold dimer is noticeable tho

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Other problem is a PF Playmaking Post Scorer doesn't get Rim Protector at all.

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

As with every year, i have too many builds i want to play and not enough time.

I Made a 6’11 pf shotpost in my prelude run.

What i’m going to make additionally in the full game:
Glass cleaner for walkon

And 2 builds that got my attention:
Slashing post pf/c is really buffed this year.
Postshot SF looks pretty damn good for Some reason

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

I'm 5ft 9 in real life and pretty much always make my characters the same, this whole culture of min/maxing and "optimal" builds kind of sucks the fun and variety out of online in my opinion If you were going to make a short PG, what combo would you go for?

Go sharpshooting shot creator if you want to speed boost and have access to all the fancy dribble moves.

Go pure sharp if you don't care about doing dribble combos.

I wouldn't consider any archetypes besides those two since you won't be able to drive inside, pass, or play defense very effectively at that height.

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Since point forwards have been quite nerfed across the board, I'm thinking of going with playmaking as secondary for my SF.

I'm torn between:
A. Playmaking slasher (more athletic, better overall defender with silver chase down)

B. Playmaking post scorer (better all round offensive game and better passer with gold dimer which is huge).

Any idea or suggestion?

Btw: post scoring slasher seems nice too, with silver def stopper

6'8" pure playmaker SG still looks like a pretty strong "point forward" build this year. If you go any taller than that, then you won't be able to speedboost. I'm sure I'll be facing this build a lot in park and pro am next week, given how overpowered the combination of height + dribbling always is in 2K games.

Of the three builds that you listed, post scoring slasher SG is by far the best due to its excellent combination of offensive and defensive badges. It may be one of the best badge sets in the game for an inside scoring build that doesn't play like a cardboard cutout on defense. Post scoring slasher SG at 6'8" looks great as a tall 2, medium-sized 3, or undersized 4.

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Hi everyone,

I made a PF 6'10 Primary : Athletic Finisher Secondary : Sharpshooting

What are you thoughts on this one ?

I'm a bit afraid of the PF sharpshooting Post scorer.
So i'm might made PF 7'0 Sharpshooting Rebounder to be better at defending the post players.

I'm playing Elite5/6...

Thank for your replies !

I'm noticing that slashing post scorer is maybe even better than post scoring slasher, very nice set of gold and silver badges with better shooting and passing too.


My only concern is the fit of post scoring in the context of pro am, which requires some organization and communication.


The 2 way shot creator is another great build at the SF, probably the most well rounded and balanced.

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

A breakdown of my 6'11 250lbs Max Wingspan Two Way Athletic Finisher C:



Pros:Elite Contact Dunk Packages, 85+ Driving Dunk, Elite Athleticism with low 80's (?) Vertical, Ability to help and recover+ switch onto guards, solid screen setter, fantastic shot blocker, decent rebounder, wingspan makes it possible to contest much taller players and better at catching lobs, great badging with HOF Posterizer and Lob City Finisher, Gold Defensive Stopper, Rim Protector, Bruiser, Chasedown Artist, Brick Wall, Quick Reflexes, Silver Acrobat, Tear Dropper, Up&Under Specialist.





Cons: no shooting ability, average strength, only Bronze Free Throw Ace, no shooting badges.

Really nicely done post and video. Trying to decide between that build and the same measurements for rebounding instead of a defending.

Nice stuff. More than likely I’ll be playing it primarily on the 3s.

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

What do you mean about height not being able to pass effectively? I'll be bringing the ball up so I want to have Playmaking as primary (or at least secondary).

Short MyPlayers have just been bad at passing ever since Pro Am was introduced in 2K16. And when I say short, I'm talking about heights that are 6'2" and under.

MyPlayers that short tend to get put into a lot of lengthy jump pass animations that would rarely trigger for taller ball handlers. And any time that a jump pass triggers, it's going to lead to a tip/intercept against a good Pro Am team, because those slow pass animations just give the defense too much time to read and react.

And even when you are lucky enough to get a regular chest pass or an overhead pass animation, those standard pass types are also easier for the defense to tip/intercept since the ball's starting point is closer to their hand/body level. In other words, it's a lot easier to have a tall ball handler who can simply pass the ball over defenders' heads than it is to have a small ball handler who needs to carefully thread the ball through/around defenders' hands/bodies.

The standard icon passes and directional A button/Y button passes in Pro Am are so bad on smaller PGs that you end up having to rely on bounce passes (and flashy passes, if they're any good this year; they stunk in 2K18 but were very useful in 2K16 & 2K17) just to avoid turning the ball over.

I would say make a sharpshooting shot creator for your PG and you'll get the silver playmaking badges + speedboosting + silver sharpshooting badges + HOF shot creator badges. That way you will have the attributes/badges that you need to be an outside scoring PG who can be effective while staying in the three-point/mid-range area without ever needing to go inside, where you would just be crowded by taller defenders who would make it hard for you to shoot or cleanly pass the ball through all of that hand/body traffic.
