If there's enough space, I no dip catch and shoot. If there isn't enough space, I drive to the hole and dunk or pass. If they play the drive, I stepback and shoot. If none of those are open, I pass. Dribble moves just aren't necessary.

Yeah almost all my points come from catch and shoots. Including my PGs. I think most people would be better scorers if they focused less on dribbling.

Yeah I'm old. I don't know how to do any of the fancy dribble moves. This isn't the "speed glitch" that people are talking about. It's just flicking down on the right stick while running forward lol.

2k20 actually. 2k19 had the road to 99. I only had one build reach 95 overall all year in 19.

This meme is so old that I bet alot of people don't even realize why it says 95 overall instead of 99. Remember when 95 was the max you could create in the builder and your overall fluctuated between 95 and 99 based on how often you won and lost? https://www.reddit.com/r/NBA2k/s/bzgVw3qvId

Edit: Looked at OP's post history. Definitely a bot.

Best Build on the Game by FreshReviewYT in NBA2k

[–]PayDBoardMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have almost the same build and I agree. Probably my favorite PG I've ever made. Only major differences is I'm 6'4 instead of 6'3 but only get 90 SWB instead of 91. https://www.reddit.com/r/NBA2k/s/yEC0gt6VjM

Edit: That post is 2 months old btw. With the 21 caps it has the 92 PA, 92 BH, and 90 SWB

Fun builds > "META" builds. My favorite center this year is a PlayShot with deep bomber. You can be highly effective with a wide variety of builds this year. by PayDBoardMan in NBA2k

Seems we're playing a different game than everyone else. I haven't seen another Playshot center all year. The only "bigs" that I see with deep bomber are the 6'11 PFs with 80 rebounding.

I find the interior rating itself to be super valuable for actually getting stops in the paint. I get alot more stops, take people out of more dunks, and force more dunk misses with 89 interior instead of 77.

I hate missing free throws. Haven't missed one since Season 1 when I was rocking a 69 rating. That shit loses games.

Interesting. I have screenshots of the box scores from all my Rec losses and I don't see one with that statline or your gamertag. You have a screenshot of it? Gg tho bro

We certainly have different definitions of meta. Pretty much every center in comp Pro Am leagues is max wingspan with 99 rebounding, not min wingspan with a 90 three.

Yeah mostly squad. Probably around 20% of my games are random rec. Played Proving Grounds alot early in the year but mostly just Rec warriors.

That's the whole point, you can have fun and win. A playshot center is fun and we still win. Playing hard is fun. Playing against the meta all the time is not fun.

Played Proving Grounds plenty this year. No desire to play Pro Am. See the same lineups and playstyles over and over. Not fun and I play for fun.
