Im never switching up my play style...



Im curious though, obvious a slasher but the second archetype... This past year was a pain because my 6'8 250 slasher couldn't shoot a 3 to save his mother. But I could do well on the playmaking side with the average (maxed slasher) playmaking. Im assuming I can hold my own making the simple easy pass to get assists but I'm unsure if I want sharpshooting as the secondary skill because I don't want to rely on that, I just want to knockdown open jumpers... LeBron has great defense so of course I'm considering that (HOF chase down in 2k17) albeit I can hold my own with the maxed average defensive stats.

For me it comes down to not being one dimensional, so I can slash on offense, hold my own on def, do well on playmaking, but its between DEF & Sharpshooter..... thoughts?

EDIT: I completely forgot how dominant LeBron is in the post-up game (another area I was not able to replicate in 2k17) Thoughts on a Slashing Post Scorer? Could be deadly if you can slash, post, playmake from the post, and not be a liability on defense.. I can give up 3 pointers or sharpshooting for that combo!

Player Attributes locked again, the park is hurting this.
I want 99 overall in every category like the old games,
not lets have 70 here and 25 here and 65 there and 95 in every other category and label that 99.

Should be every category I can get 99.

If there was no online then sure. However, since 2k is going the e-sport route there have to be caps.

99 for everything online would be a disaster.

Yea best in everything is pretty silly. I liked the way it was last year cause it made you really decide what kind of player you wanted. This year is fine but I feel like having multiple archetypes is starting to get closer to have players be great at everything again.

Finaly they broke up the attributes into more categories.

I don't understand why they can't impose the caps online only. Let your player be a 99 in all attributes when playing the story mode, and just force the caps once you join a game online.
