Tier 3 Dribbling vs. Elite Contact Dunks

[andrewthaggard]

Since you can only choose one with your Myplayer, which do you think is more fun? We are all aware now of new takeover animations for each archetype, so imagining a slasher jumping over someone or a playmaker breaking ankles, it’s hard to choose one. Also, we now know that the park will include nutmegs and other and1-like taunting moves for elite playmakers. What do you pick?

I never cared about the elite dribble moves.

Give me contact dunks

Re: Tier 3 Dribbling vs. Elite Contact Dunks

I don't think that the build that i'm going to go for will have access to either...but if given the choice, contact dunks.

I just need to be good enough dribbling to get where I need to go. I'm not trying to make people fall every play. The contact dunks will come in handy on drives.

If you can do contact dunk animations at 85 driving dunk and tier 2 Dribbling at 86, wouldn’t shot-creating slasher work?

Re: Tier 3 Dribbling vs. Elite Contact Dunks

Last year, I discovered the elite dribble moves are overrated anyways. Isn't it just that one rhythm dribble package where you tap up on the stick?

Re: Tier 3 Dribbling vs. Elite Contact Dunks

Only Tier 3 can break ankles/speed booost and explode out of stepbacks, so a lot in terms of advantages off the dribble.

Re: Tier 3 Dribbling vs. Elite Contact Dunks

Yeah I’m with this. I made a shot creating playmaker to have tier 3 dribbling Day 1 and the fact that people could run through my body with pure sharps made me regret my build all year.

The tier 3 dribbling added nothing to my gameplay either. I’m a scorer so I’d go for the dunks.

However the amount of times I’ve been blocked over the years on dunks has me like sharp shooter is the wave for me.

Tier 2 is like 70 I thought? 86 is tier 3

Huh, hold on, let me get clarification on this

I'm pretty sure tier 2 is 75 ball control, which gets you the "pro" moves

86 is when you get speed boost

90 is when you unlock tier 3 elite packages, which is pretty much only rhythm dribbles

I could "break ankles" with my slashing shot creator last year and he had ball control 85 the whole time --- that likely has more to do with getting gold ankle breaker.

You were right about the tiers however only playmakers can drop someone now

Ahhh I see. I'm good with that anyways, I'm not really the type that *tries* to drop someone's ankles.

I guess I'll miss the times in 2k18 when I'd flick the stick and just see people tumble over because of my OP badge. You will be missed!
