Assuming archetypes are similar in 2k19, what you making?

If you make that build as a small forward then you get standing contact dunks pretty early on and driving contact dunks at 91 overall. They can be effective dunkers on offense if you have a weakling trying to guard you.

They do, but slashing defender is the better overall build if you're going to make a mixed defender since you'll be more athletic, have better scoring ability, and will eventually get the driving contact dunks. The 5 point difference in rebounding isn't very noticeable since both builds get silver hustle rebounder. And you don't need breakstarter if you and your leakers know how to stay within the safe range on outlet passes.

I haven't played career in a while, so I can't really recall what the build is that I use. I usually build a player similar to what I'm good at. I don't try to force myself to use a shooter, or anything I don't quite enjoy. I personally don't enjoy taking a ton of shots, or being a shooter. I also base my character to how I play in real life, when I do play. I'm agile, I pass, I enjoy rebounding, however I'm short and I can't shoot. I like making someone who can play efficiently, and stats don't matter too much to me. I have a good post game in the virtual world, and I enjoy scoring inside, although I didn't enjoy it much last year as it was way too easy.

I remember mainly my character from last year's career mode. I played as a Small Forward, who could also play Power Forward. I created him at 6'8" and weighed around 253 lbs. I was a post scorer, an offensive rebounder, and I passed when I could. I'm not sure what build that is, but that's what I enjoy. Highly efficient.

I'm leaning towards a post-scoring center. That was what I was hoping to do last year, but I didn't enjoy the post game in 2K18 so it never really got off the ground. Hopefully that's different this year.

pure? i was thinking about a post/rebound but post builds always feel like slugs. im kind of thinking about a Athletic primary and rebound secondary build

Oh how I hated guarding these guys. I felt like anytime my PF had to play center in walk on, it was always against a rebounding athletic finisher. Literally unstoppable under the rim. Hopefully defense in 2K19 will allow me to at least bump these guys out of position.

yeah lol that was my build in 2k18. Rebounding primary first though. i dont think they will dominate as much this year if the defense is truly improved

I've always gone as a defensive center. I grind my *** off to get hof badges only to be rendered useless when I get caught in a dunk on you canned animation.

This year I'm going as a balanced center. They've said the same thing for years about defense being tougher inside and I always end up being disappointed with my rim protector. This is the year I go balanced.

Post/Defender this is a great big man build but i hardly saw it in the game.
