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

Knowing what we know so far about the new "Takeover" feature, defense completely revamped, zig zag cheese seemingly gone, and weight looking like it will have a big impact.

What type of Myplayer do yall plan on building?

Same thing I always make . A SF that resembles Kawhi’s game.

6'11 PF (Because no one plays PF)


Primary: Post Scoring
Secondary: Sharpshooter


Pretty much Chris Bosh. Can do it all on offense, and the length at 6'11 will let me be effective on defense without having to focus on it. I may lose at rebounding, but in that case, I'll just box out and let one of my teammates get it, that way I'll still be in position to contest the offensive rebound if they don't get it.

I’ll make every build I’ve dominated with in 18

6’10 Slashing Shot Creator SF
7’2 Sharpshooting Post Scorer C
6’6 Sharpshooting Playmaker PG
6’10 Pure Point Forward or a two way player

PF is always my second build . But I tend to change my play style at this position every year .

I think I'm done making point guards. I do about 3-4 a year. Had a blast with my Center towards the end but have an idea of combining all my strengths into one character next year. My 6'8 sg slashing shot creator has been fun playing him up but he's still not maxed out yet so i can't really judge him.

I'd lean on an athletic 4 but I'm not sure i wanna go full athletic.

PG- 6'7 Shot-Maker
SF- 6'10 Sharp-Shot or 2 way player

If our SG can get back to his old form and run PG the way that he did in NBA 2k17, I'll be using a 6'10 build. If not I'll be back at PG playing with a Shot-Maker. We were 120-16 with me at the Point so I doubt if the team agrees with the change but I wanna play off ball in NBA 2k19 just to switch it up.

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

I made 8 players in 2k18.

I think the #1 thing I've taken away from this year is that its best to wait until people have updated all the build calculators, to determine stuff like speed boost, contact dunks, tier 4 moves, etc, as well as which builds have key badges and attributes.

In addition it will take a few weeks I'm guessing to figure out if any new badges really matter/don't matter.

I don't want to fall into the boat of dedicating hundreds of hours to builds that ultimately don't work because they are 1 point short of some key ability like speed boost.
