Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

I have a 6'6 190lbs playmaking PG. It is a LOT of fun!

I logged about 75% of my experience Online using my 6ft6 220 Playmaker PG.

He's a nice all-around build. Recently, it's my 6ft4 Shot Creator who has become my goto player but I brought out the Playmaker last night and he still got the juice 🍍

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

Am I the only one that think that LDD are the only archetype that should have maxed 25 agility in their bar?

Slashers and playmakers are good defenders because of that. It gives the ability to do chase-down blocks and crazy blocks on big-men.

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

I feel like Athletic Finishers should have higher strength cap.

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

Well my SF Slasher is 6'8" 270lbs and max wingspan
He has 74 strength and 75 speed. I maxed his shot off the dribble and dunks.
Nothing in mid and 3, he can hit those shots off the dribble
has 75 ball control for elite dribbles.
Can defend well enough, but I would like a tiny bit extra speed.
Lebron can give you a bit of trouble with his speed, but I can manage him well enough at Allstar level, haven't tried higher against him yet, but Superstar against others is fine. I'm stronger than most SF in the game, so I can post them up and dunk etc

Maybe a 6'6" - 6'7" 240lb SG slasher might be more to your liking
Has the acrobat badge, which you may like more. And extra speed

I might try that out. The way you built your guy looks like it works quite well. No points in standing mid or 3's allows more flexibilty. I like it.

Have you thought about a shot creator?
Plays quite similar. just not as good as dunks and layups, but better off the dribble shooting.
Quite weak though, so no post ups

has to be 6'6" or under to maintain elite dribbles
Probably the closest to the slasher/shooter combo

I'm building one now he feels like Wade/Kobe hybrid

From my experience with my Playmaker, I am not that good at creating a jumper off the dribble. If I can create space with my dribble, my first instinct is to drive. Now it may be the ratings, or it could be I don't practice them enough to get the shot timing down, or I could be just bad at them lol.

Try the Stiff shot, until I used the Stiff shot, I was terrible, but with the Stiff shot down, I can hit mid fades, and pullups off the dribble and green them 80-90% of the time on Superstar when I practise in MyCourt with a 75 moving shot rating.
The Stiff shot has much less horizontal motion, I just time it by eye and feel, rather than looking at the meter and it's good.
Also must have Difficult shots badge, at least a bronze, this kicks in any time you do a shot off the dribble.
Stepbacks, side hop jumpers using the left stick+X also count as off the dribble shots

I find dribbling from the freethrow line/midrange area across in a arc and ending at the baseline and doing a drifter right at that close shot/midrange border area is money for me everytime.
The defender thinks I'm going baseline for a reverse dunk or layup, so he's moving to cut that off, that leaves me open for the baseline drifter jumper.
And moving pullups in that free throw corners are also money, no matter if a green or not

As a slasher your going to need a dribble pullup to keep the D honest

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

LLD would be better than pp at park for defense

Yes I know, but I already have a PG, SG and PF. I want to focus on creating a Center this time

Paint protector is for pro am definitely not park as i have a one

I will certainly give it a shot. That is my problem with animations like the Pull-Ups and certain dribble moves. Some take WAY too much space or WAY too much time to be useful. I love the Mid-Range game, but it just seems tedious to try and use effectively. Again, this may be simple lack of skill on my part, but I can never get the Mid-Range game to work for me.

I have a 7'3" PP -95 ovr - badged to the hilt

You are obviously more limited than other archetypes offensively BUT you are definitely not as limited as people would suggest... I average >75% mid range and >50% 3 point. Don't try and go to the rim in traffic as you will get swatted but with smart play under the hoop (eg get them jumping etc) you can finish here as well.

I regularly hold my own (or out rebound) against glass cleaners... strength and positioning counts here.

Then of course there is the most satisying part (for me) in locking down your opponent and seeing them getting more and more desperate during the game to score forcing them into stupid shots etc. Even more so against stretch bigs who suddenly go "wtf? my jumpers broken" when they suddenly cant hit every ball they throw up from halfway.

I seriously had a game the other night where my opposite was on the mic accusing me of equipping his jump shot just to make it broken for him... I mean wtf? is that even a thing??

Someone said it here before so I had to do it myself.

If the Stretch bigs and sharpshooters are giving you a terrible day. Pick up a LDD and watch them squirm.

Honestly saved the game for me. LDD's are good players. Give them good physical traits like length and speed and you'll be surprised at what they can give you offensively.

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

Thanks for your replies

I created 7'3" maxed out everything Centers with every archetype, here are the results :

It's hard to choose. Every archetype has something that I like The post scorer has good dunking, good post scoring, good strength and decent rebounding.

Re: Player Archetypes NBA 2k17

So I am planning on making a bigger version of my current Lockdown Defender. I am looking to see what people here think I should make his build like.

I wanna be tall enough to play at the 4, yet if needed to guard a point forward, I could do so as well. Someone on reddit told me to make him 6'9. What would you guys say?

The main reason I am wanting to make a big man is to get better grades online. I am done playing park as you rep up quicker in Pro-Am. I was gonna go glass cleaner, but I feel that I can rebound better with Mid reb stats and a high vertical compared to a high reb low vertical. Defense will be better, and I can the down the court quicker.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated
