Would you be fine with your MyPlayer being an archetype based on a real NBA player?

Evening the field more actually destroys meta. Because it becomes harder to make a build more effective than the others.

You can already make an all time great in my career mode. I started ball hogging in career mode to grind out my badges and I’m averaging roughly 60 pts a game on 8 min quarters. At the rate I’m going, I’m a lock for rookie of the year, the all star game, mvp, finals mvp, and there’s no reason why I can’t keep it up for 10 years straight in the game, outside of my own boredom stopping me.

As for picking a kawhi build to counter a Jordan build. Why? Why wouldn’t you just pick a Jordan build to counter a Jordan build? They both have HOF
Defensive stopper, but Jordan is the better offensive player. And that is my whole point to begin with. If we can create players that mimic the all time greats, then there is no reason not to pick the greatest players at each position that could do everything, and then everyone becomes the same, unless you choose to intentionally disadvantage yourself by picking an objectively lesser build. And it’s not even about what you would pick yourself, because the rest of the community would optimize and only pick the best players as their archetypes.

Even in the land of OP sharps, we still see more variety in archetypes now, than under the proposed system of picking real players, where every single wing becomes Jordan because he’s objectively the best choice for almost every situation.

This was revealed a while ago, but if you put a 99 MyPlayer's stats on a created player in the base game your ACTUAL stats are nowhere near 99. You are playing with a limited player. You're not even close to an all time great like Hakeem or MJ.

Also, you can dominate MyCareer with a 70 rated player. Probably even a 60 rated player. I had to be extremely disciplined to not average a triple double with my 75 rated SF playmaker.

Because everyone doesn't WANT to play with a Jordan build. I would prefer to play with a Kawhi build over Jordan just for the simple fact that he won't be the meta.

Kawhi is taller and a better catch and shoot player than Jordan so there are benefits. It's all about CHOICE.

There has never been a system of picking real players so how can you compare? I'm pretty sure that you will see more Ray Allens than Jordan if this system is implemented. Do you really keep up with the meta? Steph would probably dominate the meta with comp players.

The meta for the past 3 years has been to surround a playmaking PG(most likely a play sharp) with 3 shooters and a glass cleaner. Comp players would see a Jordan build as a liability. If it wasn't for the shooting sliders being so lenient you wouldn't see teams run lockdown defenders either, at least no pure locks.

So long story short, you think the game would be more balanced if our created players could be more highly rated, just like real life players?

It's the easiest solution to the current problem imo.

If you think this current 2k fan base would make A Jordan build a meta, I need the weed you smoking.


Jordan can't hit a three like Klay or Harden. And to the2k fanbase, if you can't hit a three, you a liability

Jordan was a career 37% 3 point shooter. Lets not act like the man was broke.

Spacing wasn't at all the way it is today. Give Jordan a 4 who can stretch the floor and play defense like AD or KAT and i bet he shoots better from everywhere.

Give me a 99 dunk, midrange, a 70 three ball, a 70 ball handling, HOF defensive ratings?

Cheese.

I think the archetype system is here to stay tho.

Jordan a 37.3% 3PT career shooter, where did you get that from? Per basketball reference he shot 32.7% from 3 for his career
