This would be fine if other people wanted to play like Rondo, and like Giannis etc etc, the problem is that 95% of people want: 3pt shot, speed, and defense.

The thing about defense normally is about being in the right place at the right time. So you play style can kind of compensate that more than attribute based shooting can.

They have to do stuff like this though, look at 2k15 90% of people wanted the advantage so they made 7'0 SF or demigods.

2k16: Either PG or outside Center.

They had to make it viable to play SG/SF/PF along with the idea of if you want to be a lockdown defender, you'll actually standout on the defensive end compared to years past.

All the archetypes are the same for each position. in terms of like sharpshooter and defender,etc. So we just all need to know the attributes now.

Really need to see a Playmaking SG and its not one of the screenshots. No complaining but still

I'm hoping I can still shoot and at least be able to dunk. I really wanna be Harden.

Look at PG or SF playmaker one its going to be the same exact caps. (Attributes will be different of course)

Or you can go with a 6'8 PF and select maybe Sharpshooter and adjust your wingspan to improve your ball handling and speed with the ball then you can be that stretch 4 type and still handle the ball well and even rebound better as a 4. It's really give or take this year.

Don't think it works like that. A longer wingspan should not give you better handles and more speed.

There it is then, thanks for straigtening that up.

Playmaking SG it is. Better shooting from 3, faster, better rebounder, same D. I'm hype now, this is the player I imagined when they announced the archtypes. Basically a Harden clone, but more PG-like.

I'll be honest with you guys. I worked on this system, we put countless hours into ensuring balance, and I'm really struggling with which guy I'm going to create for 2K17. So many choices. Can't wait to see what people choose. Should make for some really interesting pro-am games as well
