    Arm length?

    I apologize if this topic has already been discussed - I don't visit this site frequently.

    I have long believed that NBA 2k should add arm length as an "attribute" (for lack of a better word).

    Players like Anthony Davis and Rajon Rondo have ridiculously long arms for players of their height. This allows them to be a force on defense (Davis as a shot blocker and Rondo playing the passing lanes). Adding a arm length option would allow a 6 10 player like davis to play like a player much taller.

    What's everyone elses thoughts on this?

      Its really a travesty. Especially next year cause alligator arms Tyler Zeller will have longers arms than Taj Gibson if this isn't added. Thats just one example.

          Youd think this would be obvious. No excuse not to have it really.

            And that ridiculous 7'9"wingspan. If he can develop a decent offensive post game he's a walking mismatch on both ends of the floor

                I'm of the opinion that they just can't add it to current gen without causing a wealth of problems, but that shouldn't apply to the Xbone and PS4.

                    Yao had shorter arms than his height and Rudy is athletic.

                      hence why i said shorter freakishly long arms..sure hes athletic but he only had like a 20 inch or so vertical...but ofc if 2k had wingspan and reach he could have a 1 rated vert and still be dunking

                        Thabts an embarrassing vert for a guard but that's decent for a big man not freakishly athletic. Athleticism isn't just a vert. I also wonder if that is low because hes French and not used to those tests.

                          its possible, because during the combine they talked about how some guys test for the combine drills specifically.


                          no its not bad for a bigman,.,...except for when its one of the worst verts in the combined

                            Wingspan!

                            People have been asking for this for 2/3yrs. Should've been in the game already!

                            Also use real verticals "in inches"

                            LeBron 40" vertical not 97 for vertical
