Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

Played the demo and kind of have mixed feelings about it. Feels like it's not complete (in terms of the actual MyPlayer Builder) so I really didn't have the motivation to go beyond making my 6'7" Slashing Playmaker SG.

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

Another picture. Someone uploaded a few on Reddit.
Seems like we might be able to still choose the team we start with. I thought they since we could get drafted, they would go with the old format. But it may be just your play before Draft dictates how much VC you earn and what teams are interested.

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

I've always been one to get my badges up before hitting up the park. Mycareer has always felt like a job, and after playing the demo I hate the AI even more. Might be the first year I buy vc to 85 and jump right in the park

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

Think I found the player I'll roll with. This will be the first year in a while I'm gonna dive into MyPlayer, so I don't really know if its ideal or not, and who knows how it'll feel after October 1st after a month of twitter crying.

6'11 Center, labeled a glass cleaner, slightly longer wingspan but not max.
At 99 overall the only attributes over 80 are:
85 Standing Dunk
80 Post Fade
87 Block
80 Off Reb
87 Off Reb

Also has 70 3 Point Shot
73 Hook
65 Post Moves

Like I said who knows about patches but right now that feels the best balance for me as big. I try to create a player in the mold of how I play IRL, so ideally I'd like to have more shooting, a little less defensive rebounding, a little more ball handling but not that great, alot more passing, and more skill in the post. But this guy feels pretty balanced even athletically.
I'm not getting excellent releases with him with a 70 open 3, so maybe for now shooting ratings are a little bit more necessary this year... for now.

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

Some cool outcomes I hadn't seen, especially the compared players

Pass-First Wing was easily the best for me

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

Lol...



In 2k19 you had bigs shooting 3s with a 48 three rating from TOP OF THE KEY if left unguarded. So lets recap....



You want a big that can rebound, defend, shoot, and finish? Probably want to be able to post fade also?



THE MOST DOMINANT BIG IN NBA HISTORY was Shaq. Hands down. Not even close.



Shaq caught the ball in the post in his LA days, he was scoring no matter what. You could double, triple, and he would finish over you or through you.



But the man was an absolute snail end to end. Towards the end of his career he literally DID NOT play defense. He played one end of the court. But STILL was putting up 18-8 WAY past his prime.



Shaq NEVER made shots consistently outside 8 feet. Struggled with free throws. Was an average rebounder his ENTIRE career for his size, and was horrible defending smaller, quicker players.



You want to go more recent? Sure...



Lets to KP because he is BY FAR the most versatile player you mentioned and ia SEVEN THREE.



KP has been a HORRIBLE rebounder for his size. 6rpg at 7'3 is awful. He gets bullied by players like Drummond on the glass. He might get you a block or two on defense but thats almost exclusively due to his size.



Shooting? Sure... Post? Absolutely. Finishing? Can dunk but isnt finishing THROUGH or OVER people like a Giannis. And though QUICK for his size, guards will just blow past him because... Well.... Physics.



.

You make some valid points but what you are ignoring is that height automatically allows you to defend the rim and rebound. Roy Hibbert and Hassan Whiteside are perfect examples. Both are terrible athletes but when you are 7’3+ you naturally get blocks and rebounds because you stand under the basket all game. I’m not a fan of builds over 6’11 but I’ll be an idiot to use a 6’10 big against the flooded 7’3 rim protectors or glass cleaners that existed last year. The problem is with 2K not being able to create proper physics of speed and acceleration. So instead of figuring that out, they give huge attribute boosts to small players. This applies to guards as well.

I never said being an elite dunker like Giannis, an elite rebounder like Drummond, an elite rim protector like Gobert or a marksman like Dirk. However, the league is filled with 6’10 to 7 footers than can stretch the floor and play with their back to the basket (though there are only a few Post players left in the NBA due to Russ and Harden’s of the league). By virtue of being 6’10 and playing under the basket, they will get blocks and rebounds. A 50 driving dunk, 70 rebound and 70 block is fine with me if I can have low 70 3pt and mid 80 post moves. This build does exist in 2K20 but with the latest news, this whole conversation is pointless because we have no clue what will be in the actual release.

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

I don't see how anyone can seriously test out a myplayer when all the animations besides jumpshots given are generic, I can't pick my dribble pull up, my spin shots, my dribbles, not even my layup package.

Some of you guys are testing your build at 99, realize the starting cap is like 86.

Most of your builds will look utterly garbage at 86 with the inability to do most things. To get to a 99, you have to get to a 95, and then play good consistently. Don't make a build based on what its going to be at 99 when you might even struggle to reach 95 in the first place

You can upgrade your attributes how you please. You could likely be a 75 overall that has 86 ball control and 85 3pt if you choose to neglect everything else.

The freedom to select badges and spend VC ‘freely’ are the only positives at the moment, but there have been a lot of tweets about big changes coming (good or bad).

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

This guy while argument is its alright to make star's at the PG and SG position (which you can do with the builder) but if you want to be a SF-C then oh well and you are now a specialist player even though the SF position is the most important position on the floor in today's game.

No one is asking for demi Gods at the SF position. We just want better stats because right now we are getting hosed.

Hell all I want to be able to make is a SF with

90 mid range
75 3
70 ball control
75 speed
Low 70s in finish abilities
Mid 60s in defense/rebounding.


I don't see how that's a demi God build when you got PGs with 90+ speed and ball handling. High 80s to 90s in finishing abilities. Shooting is 75+. And can put on gold finishing, gold playmaking, gold shooting badges.

if people get what they want you will get demi gods. sf isnt the most important position especially today but i guess you said that because of lebron/kd/kawhi/giannis/george.

a bunch of guys 6'10+ aside from Kawhi who can do it all. Im glad they got rid of those point forwards and 6'10 locks but the people will get their way.

Blake Griffin | KAT | Marc Gasol | Embiid | Al Horford | Vucevic | Jokic and prior to Gasol showing up in Toronto, Serge Ibaka. Porzingus would be on this list also if not injured last year.

Like I said, you had some valid points about the issues 2K creates. Bigs that are primarily on the floor for defense and rebounding still have the ability to stretch the floor. I’m against the concept of Pure Stretch players, but there are defenders and post players that can hit wide open 3s or shoot off the pick and pop. There are only two players that have the dribbling and shooting ability of the sharp plays in 2K19 which will be even more powerful in 2K20.

The only sympathy I have for guards are the pure slashers. If you were a sharp, shot or playmaker in 2K19, you could zig zag, shoot fade aways behind screens or speed boost into easy baskets. Heaven forbids a PF with a corner specialist badge greens a corner three while his defender tries to clog up the paint.

Let me rephrase that. A wing player is the most important position on the floor.

Look at the last few teams that won championships: Toronto, GS, Cleveland, Miami, Spurs, mavs, Lakers, Boston.


What did all of these teams have in common (beside the Warriors in 15) an elite wing player. Kawhi, LeBron, Durant, Wade, Pierce, dirk.

You not winning a championship if you don't have an elite player and right now in the demo, you can create an elite SG sure, but not an elite SF.

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

I saw the 2kleaks page say Ronnie said in a steam with a YouTuber that you can Re-Spec your build if you end up not liking it and even change the postion. I watched the clip to make sure he said that. I believe that when I see it. For one, 2k will lose out on a lot of money. Plenty of people spend $50 on a build and end up regretting it, then spend another $50 on another build. And second, if it is true, then it would make sense if it happened at 95. But there would be so much stuff to be considered. Do you have to subtract all your current attributes/badges and reallocate? If you change your position, will it automatically change your physical ratings? I think both are necessary. You can't have someone switch from a PG to C and keep same ratings
