Hi everyone,

(This is for Pro AM)
So I have 99 overall balanced 6'11 PF weight 225 (lol don't know what I was thinking with that) but I feel like he is just mediocre at everything I try to make him. At that size he is too slow to guard smallball 4s and not good enough shooter to be a true stretch 4. I did make a mistake by wasting 4 points on playmaker but my outside is still lvl 18.

I want to create another player that will be a stretch 4 that is pretty mobile on the perimeter while still being able to rebound effectively. Do I create a 6'9 or 6'10 outside PF or same height outside SF. any suggestions?

(I played vs some 6'10 or 6'11 PF or C at pf position who was fat and everytime I got close to him I would just bounce off of him and he would continue to dribble the ball without losing it. Safe to say that he killed me and center on my team. He popped threes rebounded and had point guard like handles.

Figure out what your playstyle is and Build around that. If you know what your strength is, you can either super specialize in that, or use the points to round out the flaws in your game.

This isn't an RPG where a certain build is the best. Small centers were a thing for awhile, they could up playmaker and outside shooting, retaining size and defense.....and then get out rebounded by my SG because they can't play, and put nothing in rebound because they assumed a center would just get boards.

In all honesty, the build either needs to enhance your pre existing skills, or supplement your problem areas.

Re: Good PF build

just make an outside 7ft PF, in proam shoot post fades and 3s.

you can see here

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?pli=1#gid=0

that no matter what height you are as an outside PF your standing 3 point shot will be a 75 which you can boost to 95 with a +5 VC boost and a +15 MyCareer training boost. Also take into consideration the fact that PF or C cant get perimeter lock down defender badge so you will be triggering gold deadeye every time you shoot a 3 against the PF that is guarding you $$$$$.

Re: Good PF build

I don't think boosts work in the pro am. TBH in the pro am I rarely face other PFs. Mostly SFs and the CPU

Same here that is why I'm hesitant to create a tall PF because that will make him too slow to guard these dudes on the perimeter. I got that whole spreadsheet printed out and it's killing me on what player to create.

The only thing I know is that I will make outside scoring type. Just trying to decide on the height and pros vs cons between SF vs PF.

I went with 6'11 because I wanted the ability to play some center if needed. I'm happy with that . I'll admit smaller players give me trouble chasing them around . But I give them even bigger fits with my rebounding , dunking , post game and finishing lol . If you prefer more front court play go PF. If you want limited back court abilities go SF. I would say 6'8 is a good height honestly for outside. Sounds like you wanna be a SF/PF. Do you have a player in mind who's game you wanna mimic ?

Which scoring style did you choose?

One of the teams I play with needs a stretch 4 with good Defense and rebounding. I guess you can say a Kristaps Porzingis type of guy lol

I'm a guard at heart and ideally want a mobile big because my 6'11 PF feels like he got feet stuck in the mud with that 62 speed. I understand that you cant be fast and at the same time but just trying to find the right balance

Thanks for your help though I really appreciate it.

Re: Good PF build

One of my characters is a 6'6" PF I made to be basically Charles Barkley with elite defense lol. I made him balanced as I don't really care to shoot the 3 but need to be able to hit the mid when defense gives it to me. I'm like 74-2 in the park playing on him as being that small creates such a huge mismatch and his vertical makes up for the lack of height and can consistently grab boards over the heads of 7-footers with near maxed out rebounding. I have only played like 5 games in pro am with him and only lost 1 due to so many people on my team lagging out and my offense at the time not being anywhere close to complete. Only go small if you know what you are doing on defense and rebounding because the matchup can easily be against you if you have not mastered those two critical components. Ideal small ball size pf/c would be around 6'8".

Re: Good PF build

Unless you are making a small PF, make a C. C's have an advantage over PFs no matter what.

Re: Good PF build

depends on how you play.

have a 6`6 PF who is an inside scorer and i can handle pretty much position 2 to 5 depending on size.

most trouble i get is when a play huge C but then again they can be stripped easy and i love the challenge of boxing them out.

im usually way to fast for them as well lol.

however when they in the post i need real good timing to stop them.

Re: Good PF build

if you want a stretch 4 its better to make a 6'10 SF and play him at the four. Higher three pt and mid ratings. Max his defense and rebounding as well.

**Rockie_Fresh88** · 01-07-2016, 03:15 PM

Re: Good PF build

His rebounding will be lower and so will his post defense and blocking . I like playing the four because I want to be able to bang with centers and have better passing ability and a little faster.

Re: Good PF build

Just now played against a top 100 team in pro am with a 6'7-6'8" PF tops. My friend couldn't lock him down in the paint or box him out he was just to fast my friend is a 7' pf by the way
