By pilonv1 Go To PostGoing to make my shot creator playmaker tonight. Hope it goes well
Shot creator playmaker is really fun. Awesome handles and shoots off the dribble real well.
I made my playmaking sharpshooter. I was tempted to do playmaker/shot creator but the PM/SC combo doesn't get its 3 point rating high enough until much later on and it has catch and shoot and limitless which the other doesn't have, this is going to be my distributor/floor spacer player.
I also somehow found a way to get into games without playing a single minute. My new player has 0 rotation minutes and it just sims to the end but I still get VC and I get to do drills???
By ph33nix Go To PostLOL. G just told me he's looking at making a stretch big
Depends on what he puts first or second, we really don't take enough threes.
By abuC Go To PostDepends on what he puts first or second, we really don't take enough threes.He said pure stretch
I kinda hate my SG already. I would trade the finishing ability for handles and passing now. Finishing ability is useless without badges anyways, and it takes quite a while and is tougher to get badges

A pure stretch is shooting from almost halfcourt and over guys, I can see why he'd want one, plus we played one in a walk on that was just catching and shooting over him from like 35 feet out.
I'm of the opinion now that basically every player outside of one or two types should just be pures too.
Someone explain the point of the league being HOF btw.
You already know I can't time releases so I'm just getting fucked over here.
Plus the random teams thing is whatever. I can see it, but can't I just be trash with the Lakers? I'm trash anyway at least I would have an excuse.

I get the Pelicans or Spurs and I go 14-0.
My team building is questionable, but I like to draft so there's that.
By abuC Go To PostI get the Pelicans or Spurs and I go 14-0.You gotta realize I learned what a shooting guard was like 4 years ago. Come on.

You see the record, you seen the record last year........
My only loss this year is while using the Blazers, give me a team with post players and I'm good to go. Give me a team with Kawhi and two post players? Man please.
I'm not that great with perimeter teams, not about to lie.

Well, the draft just makes for more balanced teams, we could do a fixed draft and give you the first pick if everyone agrees.

Correction, Pelicans vs Rockets on HOF
We'll play once they fix the defensive settings so I can assign who I want to baby sit your shooters.
The only person that would even pick a tier 3 team is smokey with the rockets so just let everyone pick who they want to use
No Warriors
No Warriors
There's only 10 tier 4 teams and 12 potential players, also Phaze the Wiz got bumped up to tier three
By s y Go To Postso is there a league/tournament or nah?
smokey and abu keep ducking me
I haven't played Play Now in more than a week, the defensive settings are broken. I sent out messages for the league, only Zep responded on PSN.
I'm hoping the patch comes on Friday.
you dont even really get enough time to put in defensive settings --takes more than 2 minutes unless you legit practice it like its combos in street fighter
they need to let you be able to go and set your defensive settings for each time in your profile and have it save for every match you play, but nah
between the settings glitches and shit I just leave it on auto and hope my AI help D doesn't get rekt too badly

They need to let you do the defensive settings at the start of the game, the issue right now is that "Deny/Smother" doesn't work and your defenders no matter how high their defensive IQ is will leave the guy they're defending even if he's a great shooter.
You can do the "deny/smother" in game, and switch defenders in game, but once they come out the game it gets reset and goes by position. I put Tony Allen on Kryie to start the game, but when Kyrie came back in the other guy had him at SG and Tony Allen just stayed on Rozier who was at PG even though I specifically want Allen on Irving at all times. I tried to switch it and it wouldn't let me, Tony just kept guarding the PG.

Yeah, I'm just going to get a bunch of players to 90 and I'll be good.
As long as I got my badges I don't care about overall anymore.

lol fuck this
2k getting in on that twitter #Wastehistime2017 challenge a little late
I'm having trepidation about a playmaking shooting PG, mostly because it seems like a big guard/forward is what's missing in most lineups I run with. Seems like it's always 2 guards and 2 bigs.
I'm somewhat tempted by point forward but I really would like at least one shooter, and I really want a guy who can get tier 4 and you can't get that with a point shooter.
I know what I'll do!
I'm going to see how much it makes to make a pure SS SF. It's probably cheaper. I can use it if we just need a player to space the floor. And I can use the rest on a cheesy handler/scorer type. I'm just not sure what combo, but I need those tier 4 dribbles lol
someone just went 14/25 in a game. amazing

There's no way I'm grinding past 95 then, just want to get to 94 for the double VC. I've only got 700 total points in Lob City Finisher, there's no way I'm grinding that shit out.
Sharps are fucking ridiculous to guard. There's a bunch of stepback animations you can't guard at all. Don't see any reason to make PG, you can get the build you need with more height and still hit threes/speed boost

What position/type do you think would be best? Because:

Not too many players that get 90 ball control, unless you're thinking playmaking/shot creating
I wish I had a do-over. This SG feels like mud
http://www.nba2k.io/
Uses predicted stats, height doesn't change ratings sadly, but still good indication.
used this to get a 6'8 SF shot creating playmaker. 6'8" has speed boost & big man contact dunks. Max 3 of 80, HOF tireless scorer, difficult shots and gold mid range. SG same archetype gets gold tear dropper and one other gold which I can't find.
For a pure Sharp, the only difference between a PG & SG is that PG gets 2 more bronze badges. SF gets Pick & Pop. Ratings would be similar but just change on height/wingspan

Oh for pure sharp I'm probably doing 6'6 SF, I just don't know what I'll do about my smaller dribble cheese player
Are the smaller players that much quicker that makes it worth it? Feels like it just means you get blocked more.
By pilonv1 Go To PostAre the smaller players that much quicker that makes it worth it? Feels like it just means you get blocked more.
I was just learning to resist to urge to take it to the rack every time with my guy. The tier 4 rhythm dribbles really are fun to use, now that I've gotten to use this other 6'4 player I really feel like I have to re-learn how to create space because he feels like such a tank
I feel dumb as hell though if I make another 6'4 player of any kind. this is just the year of 6'4 guys for me lol
and I'm hesitant using specifically a playmaker/sharp because if I have handles like that I'm probably going in for mid-rangers more, although that combo can still shoot very well off the dribble and I'll have the benefit of the catch and shoot badges
I think I just secretly want a super player and I'm upset I have to pick and choose lol
By ph33nix Go To PostI think I just secretly want a super player and I'm upset I have to pick and choose lol
I feel this. I just wanted to make a Draymond build, but it's impossible because you can't be great at one thing and average to good at everything else. You have to sacrifice passing or shooting.
I feel like there should be an "all round" archetype that just middles out in everything but has no strong point to their game with no badges over a silver.
Fuck it
6'6 sharp shooter
6'4 playmaking shot creator (like my previous guy but primary/secondary switched)
or maybe I should just remake my old guy since it's clear I miss him so much
lol this is exactly how Abu feels and with the same player

I can only imagine how poverty pure lockdowns are on offense. Even as defender/rim protector unless I'm wide open or my silver posteriser pops I'm fucking trash.
By pilonv1 Go To PostI feel this. I just wanted to make a Draymond build
I've wanted to make a Draymond clone since 2k16, I even had a 6'7 PF that actually did really well in 2k16 and a 6'8 Lockdown SF that played PF in 2k17. I can't imagine how terrible a 6'7 PF would be this year since height > everything.
That's why I made my defending rebounder 6'10", any smaller and I'd be even more screwed at bigger players, but any bigger and I couldn't keep up with smaller players. Even 6'10" feels somewhat useless against the giant fat centres.
If could at least get corner specialist or something on my build I could make him Draymondish since you can still pass decently without badges if you just move it to open spots. Even guys like KP, LeBron and Giannis who are the more unique players you can still somewhat replicate their style with certain builds. But Draymond is basically impossible.

This is now my collection of players:
6'4 190 lb. Playmaking Sharpshooter PG (Not upgraded yet)
6'4 210 lb. Shot Creating Slasher SG
6'6 210 lb. Pure Sharpshooter SF (Not upgraded yet)
7'3 340 lb. Post Scoring Rebounder C
My PG and SG will be good for park, can use SG if there's more spacing. SF will be good for anything. C will be good if there's nobody else playing center.
Already got ball handling upgrade on my PG. TIER 4 HELLO AGAIN

Upgraded my point guard. Welp I hope I don't regret this like I did with my previous player.
I think this'll be like my previous guy, almost as good at shooting off the dribble. I'll just have to be wary of taking any kind of layup or dunk lol

The worst part is 2k gonna keep this nonsense up unless they feel the heat from Live.
U shouldn’t be unable to create a pg that can shoot AND dunk

Been playing some park with G, fuuuuck I love my new playmaker/sharp. Feels good again.
Hopefully that patch takes care of PA once and for all....
-____-
G already caved and made a stretch big, but it's not pure stretch, playmaking is its secondary. Still gets most of the badges he needs but the playmaker part makes his player much faster than it normally would if it was pure.
It is 12:40 CT and the update is out
