Shorter Wingspan is Better???

Do you guys believe shrinking your player's wingspan and even weight to the lowest is a good strategy in order to get the most of your skill sets?

As a 6'0 PG I feel this will be my strategy. I understand of stretching it out if you want to have a lot of blocks. But I just feel I may be more successful with shrinking those arms in order to get my skills up. And decreasing my weight to get my speed and agility up.

How do you guys feel?

Re: Shorter Wingspan is Better???

Personally my wingspan in real life is a little bigger than my height so I made it those same dimensions. I'm 6'7" and my wingspan is 6'7.5". In game I'm a 6'3" point guard though haha

Unless you're a short PG, then no

I dunno, I did it on my 6'10 SF haha. It's good to have a choice. It's neither better nor worse, obviously.

Re: Shorter Wingspan is Better???

It comes in handy in the Park... people judge your guy based on his height, not realizing that you have the wingspan of a Center even though you're 6'7 can lead to some easy blocks.

2k is the kind of game you have to play to figure out... even knowing the numbers isn't enough to know how the game treats certain things.

That's true. All depends on what you prioritize on the court

Not noticing a big difference.

I'm still thinking shorter height, long wingspan and/or wide shoulders (have we figured out what's best between the two?). Something like Wade or Beal in terms of physique build.
