Hey OS community. Just wanted to differentiate this thread from the Archetype thread, didn't want to get into too much discussion about attributes. Every now and then I'll be watching NBA highlights or think of a past NBA player that I would like to make in 2K.
Basically, did you model your MyPlayer after an NBA player or did you try to go a unique route? What was the expectation vs reality?
I think this thread will give us an idea of how satisfied the community is with the Archetypes available to us. It might also give others inspiration to create players based on the community's responses.
Please refer all attribute questions to the Archetpye thread as this was created more as a survey.

1.
Player Basics: 6'9 SF 215lbs SF Slasher
Modeled After (actual player or unique): cover boy Paul George
Plays Like: Stromile Swift
Expectation vs Reality: I wanted the finishing ability over the shooting ability but the reality is the lack of shooting really hurts this archetype. Would've gone with a Point Forward instead but this was my first created player in 17 and I've always stuck with the slasher type player. Fun to play with and I've gotten some really nasty posters.
2.
Player Basics: 6'9 PF 265lbs PF Glass Cleaner
Modeled After (actual player or unique): unique
Plays Like: Kenneth Faried
Expectation vs Reality: Wanted a smaller GC because I can't stand playing with slow players. This player is a beast against players 7foot or smaller but gets dominated 7'1-7'3 players. I'm finding that height trumps rebounding ability so I didn't go further with this player.
3.
Player Basics: 6"10 230lbs PF Lockdown Defender
Modeled After (actual player or unique): unique
Plays Like: Bismack Biyombo that can hit an open 3
Expectation vs Reality: Didn't want to grind for badges for this guy just yet. Plays beastly in MyCareer but gets bodied online due to lack of upgrades and 2K's underpowered defensive system and animations.
4.
Player Basics: 6'5 196lbs SG Sharpshooter
Modeled After (actual player or unique): taller Steph Curry
Plays Like: Jamal Murray
Expectation vs Reality: You can tell this was the archetype made to sell this game due to it's favorable attribute caps. While defense wins games, offense will sell games and as much as I hate to admit it, sharpshooters are OP in this game. Definitely my favorite player to use. Wanted to build Steph Curry but the off the dribble shooting doesn't feel natural to me. Driving ability also exceeded expectations which is why he plays more like Jamal Murray which isn't a bad thing to me. I was against sharpshooters for so long because a lot of them have been cheesers but when done right, this is my favorite player to play with.
