Pro Am Builds For 2k19

[Thrustie]

Re: Pro Am Builds For 2k19

Play exclusively bigs, as that what i played in R/L and my feel and knowledge of the game fits best there

In 2k18 i played a pure rim protector and he was quite effective and badges were very easy to max out. I think he had HOF badges at 90.5

Also have a pure rebounder at 90 and playing with him was frustrating as hell. Have a number of offensive bigs in the low 80s and never felt pure rebounder had any advantage re rebounding over the much lower rated offensive aligned centers.

Also couldnt make a lay up if anyone over 2ft was near you. Did anyone else play a pure rebounder and felt they had an advantage on crashing boards?

Inclined to run a pure rim protector in 2k19 and maybe post scoring / slasher for when i want to be more offensive.

My Two-Way Rebounder averaged 15 boards a game in Walk On. I would guess the Pure Athletic I created near the end of the year averaged 12-13 boards. Hard to know exactly because the stats aren’t separated but my average rebounds a game definitely dropped. So there was a difference. I mostly felt like my Pure Athletic didn’t get hero snags that were nowhere near me like my rebounding build did. Breakstarter probably got me an extra assist or 2 a game as well.

That said, I scored WAY more effectively with my Pure Athletic build.

Sick vid, just sent this to my teammate who is deciding between a SF, 3 and D (defense primary) for spacing, but lower athleticism or slashing defender, athletic freak. This build will probably be my secondary build for when our big men aren’t available.

If you do make this build, don't make him taller than 7'. Your driving dunk falls off hard. I made the mistake of making a 7'1 Primary Defense/Secondary Slashing and couldn't do driving dunks to save my life. Even with gold posturizer. Driving dunks will be where most your points come from.


That was supposed to be my Dwight Build. I could've made it 6'11, but made 7'1 because I didn't want to risk getting bullied. But its a damn good build on paper. High Shot blocking, 91 Str, and Decent dunking.

This could change in 2k19, Idk. If the stats are right, this'll be my 3rd build.

This seems like the year 2k makes the post great again.

I'm looking for an offensive build that can thrive in both Pro-Am and Park.

I'd love to make a Bill Walton clone, but he'd need about 4 archetypes.

For those with experience as an offensive big, what build looks best to you?

Anything I'm overlooking?

1. Pure Post Scorer (close range master)
2. Shot-Creating Post Scorer (close + mid)
3. Athletic Finishing Post Scorer (close + dunks)
4. Rebounding Post Scorer (close + boards + picks)
5. Rim Protecting Post Scorer (two way)

People are sleeping hard on Post Scoring Stretch. Post Primary, 3pt Shooting Secondary.


In 2k18 you had 88 post stats, 76 3pt shot, 85 midrange, 88 str, and decent rebounding.

The best big man builds IMO:

Post Scoring/Defense
Post Scoring/Stretch

and Depending on stats, those can be reversed.

Your position changes your badges for certain builds not height

HOF Break Starter... But your rebounding is 68 or something like that. It should be higher.

Good to know and yeah, I’m thinking about a 6’10 PF and rely on athleticism should I face any giants.

Any higher and your on par with the average non rebounding big. Think my rebounding is 74 on my pure post. If it’s a game with no bigs then 68 is all you need to dominate the boards in the park

Yeah for example sg shot creator primaru gets acrobat silver but sf gets it bronze same thing for ankle breaker.
A slashing post pf would get rim protector on bronze but a center on silver

Wow. I noticed something that's a complete atrocity here.

My slashing shot creator, 6'4, has a rebound of 72

A 6'10 point forward....68

uw0tm8!?!?

It evens out cause of height

That’s why a lot of point forwards swoop in and steal boards from non rebounding bigs

I mean, I guess? But I can make my SG a big one. I think they can go to 6'8?

Either way, I don't know why slashing shot creators have better rebounding attributes than all the other wing types.
