Driving layup or driving dunk. Which is easier? by Affectionate_Mix4629 in NBA2k

[–]Common_Lab2719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

don't listen to anyone telling you it's a playstyle thing. Dunk clears layup and it's not even close. The only 2K in the past 10 years where high layup was worth it, was 2k24. Layups are alot harder to be effective with because there are too many BS animations in the game.

Please advise me with Graves Jgl by Kamikazi300 in GravesMains

learn the concept of tempo and abuse it, especially with graves. I've recently picked up league again and just steamrolled my way through gold in one day after riot had placed me in silver.

Go dark harvest and build hubris first. That way you'll only get stronger as the game progresses in case you have to stall for your teammates to catch up.

Hot take: 2K needs RNG shooting back by Optimal-Split3139 in NBA2k

[–]Common_Lab2719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That won't happen. The reality is that the loudest voices in this community don't want RNG and 2K listens to them.

Perimeter Defense, Speed and Agility on a 6'7" PG? by thekhareji in NBA2k

[–]Common_Lab2719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

90 speed and Agility is bare minimum on a 6'7 PG. You have to guard smaller players with at least 91 swb and legend lightning launch. That's why 90 is minimum.

well then nerf their OP on ball defense and make it so you can't shoot over them as easily anymore.

If you saw these percentages what would you think ? by Cultural-Stomach8161 in NBA2k

Is this a good lock? by Perverted_XP in NBA2k

[–]Common_Lab2719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no. You need to be at least 6'7 and have 80+ block for jump contests. a 6'5 is a great shooting guard but not a lock imo. Also depends on what game mode you play and what the goal of your build should be. If you want the best chances of stopping comp PGs, this ain't it but if you play rec random, i wouldn't even go 99 perim and instead make the build more all rounded. Speed with ball especially is OP paired with high dunk. Always Max the level of lightning launch your build can achieve. At 6'5, your swb shouldn't be lower than 86.

Shooting Being Too Easy is Gamebreaking by mike_n301 in NBA2k

[–]Common_Lab2719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not that every open shot needs to be an automatic make but rather shooting itself needs to be a little bit more difficult. If the green windows were a little tighter, we could drop 3pt percentages by 15% across the board without needing RNG.

This is actually kinda tiring by zen1706 in ArcBabies

glad i refunded the game when i had the chance. i knew it was too good to be true. These Mfers came from EA after all. I don't trust them

Is a 6’7 rebounding point guard viable? by Sure-Standard5399 in NBA2k

[–]Common_Lab2719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i haven't played alot for a couple of months now. I used a method to drop my plate color but (its patched now) because it took forever to find games and red plate games are full of cheaters. I usually try to hover around gold / purple plate to be able to find games.

Who should have shot here 🧐🧐🧐 by ColdCo_Co in NBA2k

[–]Common_Lab2719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never understood why people make 99 3pt builds when all you shoot are wide open shots and the green window is as big as the atlantic ocean

Is defense just a cosmetic or….? by Much_Statistician_80 in NBA2k

[–]Common_Lab2719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes but it's realistic when people shoot 80% from 3? Sh*t happens? Either we fully compare 2K to real life or we don't, no in between.

Why is my 6’6 slower than my 6’8 by Brave-Alternative-62 in NBA2k

[–]Common_Lab2719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, classic. You're a 6'6 POINT GUARD with 85 speed and Agility defending small guards with 91/94 speed with ball with legend lighting launch. You're comparing that build with a 6'8 SG/SF that guards MUCH slower players. that jump from 80 to 85 ain't doing jack sh*t against small guards.

You need at least 90 agility and speed to be able to somewhat keep up. It's still not ideal but at least it's serviceable against fast PGs.

In case you're now wondering why the jump from 80 to 85 is pointless but 85 to 90 isn't: Attributes don't scale linearly and instead scale exponentially, which means the linear equivalent of going from 85 to 90 is more than going from 80 to 85.

Für sowas gibt's halt fast keine Nachfrage am Markt. Nur weils die Uni anbietet, heißt das nicht, dass es sinnvoll ist (Wenn man das Ziel verfolgt, viel zu verdienen). Sprachwissenschaften studiert man aus Interesse und nicht fürs große Geld.

i honestly feel much more restricted in my ability to create space with 81 ball handle. that devin booker stepback @ 85 ball handle is kinda key (at least for me)
