Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.
I made the purest rookie Shaq build you could possibly make. 7ft full blue pie chart with shorter arms at 280lbs. The paint beast pie is okay but I need more than an 80 hook shot rating. I don't think people give Shaq's touch around the rim enough credit.
Gave him a custom Shaq jumpshot with a better base, Shaq's FT, Shaq's hookshots, Shaq's dunk package and bigman contact dunks only.
I'm 84 ovr and have half of my finishing badges unlocked but the build is holding it's own against rim-protectors and paint beasts with HOF intimidator/rim protector.
Pro touch is such a good badge for making hook shots. Rebounding is so much better this year. I actually get rewarded for boxing out so I don't even need rebound chaser(Shaq didn't really chase boards anyway). Moving truck and brickwall on gold makes the build feel like a man-mountain. And even tho I only had contact finisher on silver(it's gold now) I was able to get a good amount of posterizing standing dunks.
Most people are scared to use a non-shooting big but if you know how to space the floor with him properly it won't matter. Played with 3 slashers and a paint beast the other day and we won by 20 points against a squad running meta offense and zone defense. We only made 3 3s the whole game.
Post scorers have been underrated for a while now just because guys don't know how to handle a double team. I average 4 assists a game just from finding the open man when I get doubled in the post. You can also split it with a post hop or just do a post spin as soon as you get the ball and score before they double you.
Once I get HOF consistent finisher, backdown, contact finisher, and drop stepper I'll be unstoppable. I might get deep hooks too, maybe max it out at silver.
Officially I average 13pts, 9rbs, 4ast, 1stl, 2blk. FG% is around 58%(I miss standing layups because my finishing badges were only silver). FTs are at 65% even with a 50 FT rating.
Recently I've been scoring in the 20s and almost always have 12 or more boards a game. The build is just way too fun. Noone knows how to defend the post at all. The hook shot in Shaq's package when he goes over his opposite shoulder is unblockable. Even when it's 100% smothered it will go in thanks to pro-touch. Paint-beasts and glass-cleaners can't get easy offensive rebounds because I have the box-out badge on gold lol. Drop-steps don't work because I have gold post-move lockdown.
When I get the post scoring takeover it's a wrap. Best isolation scoring takeover in the game imo. It's a guaranteed bucket. Backing down is easier, hook shots are more successful, the drop-step and post-spin animations you get are god-like, and I feel like it's easier to get contact dunks when it's active.
I'd rate it 9/10 only because I can't get HOF brickwall and moving truck. I go for accuracy over function so not being able to upgrade those badges with a 95 strength build bothers me a bit.
I might use the same pie chart to make a Lou Alcindor build. Right now I'm making a Kerry Kittles-esque build for my squad. I've been trying to make a Kevin Garnett build for a while now but I haven't been satisfied with anything.
