Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

"Stretch Big" has me worried in terms of them being too effective. They have the same max midrange and 3pt shooting as sharpshooter PG and SG?

It should at least be slightly lower IMO...

let's take a second and think

you really think a PG with 10/25 rebound would be the equivalent number to a center with 10/25 rebounding..?

it scales by position

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

Stretch Big it is, based on the fact I can apparently max 3pt shooting like a guard/forward lol.

As someone said above that doesn't mean It'll be the same end result. Per position it probably varies attribute wise per upgrade etc.

That's possible. Although not sure how much different Stretch Big it is in this game than 2K16. In 2K16, along with the needed badges and boosts, I was able to drain 3s like the rest.

Have they also talked about the maxed height for this game or is it still 7'3?

Given that your post is just as much of an assumption as mine at this point, let's both wait a couple of weeks and see for ourselves before the smug comments shall we?

It will probably be different - it may mean you could be very weak on things like defense and rebounding compared to other bigs. In 2k16 there was hardly any difference in rebounding and defense for bigs even with such builds. Doesn't seem to be the case in 17. Don't quote me on this but i heard 7'7.

I'm pretty sure they took that badge out of the game, haven't seen it anywhere in any of the leaked vids


Edit: maxed height is still 7'3

In 2k16 its as he said as well - maxed rebounding for a SF wasn't the same as a big. It's a pretty accurate assumption. If its not like that it would be a change and very stupid. Unless the weaknesses balance it out.

Cap wise from the video, stretch big fills up around halfway with rebounding bars and 10 from being maxed out in defense. So basically, around middle of the road which compared to a glass cleaner, I fully expect that even if they're taller, the rebounding stats will help make that feel fair, that's my hope at least.

That's why that's not really for me. Being a Pro-Am player, I know the rest of my team is going to focus on scoring and being able to hit 3's. My archetype choices are between glass cleaner and rim protector. I'm leaning towards glass cleaner because you still have a decent amount of defense and if you know how to play defense, you never need to be maxed out with it. It's tough having to choose this year along with the upgradeable badge system (which I do like even if it is tough) but I like that thought has to be into how you're going to benefit those around you too and your team if you're an online player.

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

Damn. Leaning towards sharpshooter and seeing if my stick skills can carry me to decent slashing game.

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

Looks like I'll be going going Shot Creator or Slasher for my PG/SG this year. Lockdown Defender and Playmaker for my PG are appealing, too.
