Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

not that this creation lab is without issues, but some of these comments boil down to “why can’t I make a player that can dominate at everything?” Jesus.

You can’t. Sorry, you’re going to have to compromise in one or two areas to get the attributes that matter most to you. It sucks, I know, but you have to deal with an imperfect build like the rest of us.

Who wants to dominate at everything ? That’s a reach. I can’t even replicate my builds from last year . We’re having a discussion . Isn’t that the point of this thread ?

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

Man I’ve been trying all day . Unless I make a straight up Defensive specialist or spot up shooter . Nothing good in between. I can’t make bosh / Bagley build at all.

The problem is that they use the same pie charts regardless of the position. Why would I want to make a 67% playmaker at Center who has a ball handle capped at 56. This year’s Pure Rim and Pure Stretch are the only options. Shooting and play making should not be able to account for more than 25% combined on a Center, but instead that’s the minimum amount with these builds.

This truly might be the year that Bigs cease to exist. I can foresee an abundance of 6’11 ‘Pure Stretches’ that are clamping Posts and Slashers due to the animations that are in the game. Hopefully it changes, but if it’s not half court 3s or ankle breakers, it’s not a priority to 2K. Everyone cried about Post scorers and Locks so they were basically removed from the game.

Playmaker is the go-to for low post bigs. Don’t believe it was intended at all for perimeter bigs. I made a PF with playmaking and inside scoring and IMO it was an excellent build for what I was looking for (Kevin McHale). Had easily the most success of any of my 3 builds so far. Yeah it’s harder to dunk but much easier to finesse around the rim.

I’ve been playing around with the extreme of the wingspan that helps a little . I watched a few vids of other bigs and a lot of them don’t touch defense at all

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

Two best builds I've mad atm are a 6'7 three level scorer at the 2, and a 6'7 mid range shot creator again at the 2.

I assume the small forward slot will be a lot of tall shooting guards. You seem to gain nothing by making a 3 other than 2 inches of height that kills all your stats.

I feel like if you add a lot of playmaking and finishing ability...you'll be good as long as you keep your shooting in the mid 70s.

I'm able to get a lot of good ball handling and defensive badges paired with good finishing and a reliable open shot.

That’s a unique way to build. I don’t think I could do it though. Once you hit 95 it’s all about online play to reach 99. If someone creates this year’s Pure/Slashing Post without any interior defense it will be tough out there. There will likely be a lot of Pure Rims since that’s the only true center build and they will have a gold post defender and intimidator badge on. If your build is all post scoring then you’ll basically be useless in that matchup and your opponent will just use their max strength to back you under the basket and cheese a Post hook. The sharp post provides the best offense but that will be a GRIND. I don’t think you get 80 post attributes until 92.

I think the biggest problem is that post control is under playmaking. I understand the concept, but it makes these watered down builds even more watered down when you have to take playmaking into considering for your Post.

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

Haven’t got much time on it but made a PF 6’11 rebounding rim protector somehow when I was going for a 3-D type. Dont really know how I feel bout the new system, seems just as limited.

Knew this would be the case even though dudes/2K been hyping this builer as 'make what you want' thing.

Also figured this 'doing away with archetypes' talk wouldn't result in any significant changes to the fact that we're role players; though I'm not complaining.

MyPlayers aren't made to be 'superstars' in the NBA. We can just hope to make a build (and play it to our best abilities) to be superstars amongst each other.

Is this the build with 80 Post hook, 82 fade and 94 post moves?

My issue is that I want to be able to shoot (at least 65 3pt) so my matchup in Park can’t just sit in the paint all game. Unless I give my build T-Rex arms, it’s only one build I can choose and it will be terrible until I hit 95. I don’t know if I can do that grind when 2K bought back doubling post scorers after 6 points and no way to call for an iso. In theory I could make an all-around Center and just boost, but that whole idea is stupid to me and I’m not wasting or paying for VC to do it.

Re: Official 2k20 MyPlayer Build Thread.

that's how it's looking to me too

like apparently the difference between 6'5 and 6'7 is 11 points of dribbling what the ****

Exactly, maybe they'll switch it up before launch tho cuz its crazy how they penalize you

Yeah, that’s probably the same one. And yeah, you pretty much have to be dedicated to dominating down low, so the McHale build might not be your thing if you plan on playing park. I’m used to using non shooting bigs, but I also play 5 on 5 pretty exclusively.

Wow I dont see anyway to make my Shot Creating Rebounder PF from last year. Looks like even more limitations on builds, smh

Go red and green, upgrade your rebounding, whatever post stuff you want, and mid-range?

there are no capbreakers this year, you could increase it first thing if you wanted, cant link you to it because this is a new acc but check Zach Timmerman's twitter
