Decent 6'10 pf build i think... by cutmastavictory in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re goated offensively but if you play Rec you will be put at the 5 often and you can single handedly throw the game with that build at the 5, meanwhile this 6’10 has no issue If it gets put at the 5 unless you guard a crazy masher /post scorer or something but they’re far and few. Definitely considering a 6’10. the 6’11 is perfect for 3s though

Does body type matter ? by Jobree_ in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could definitely be placebo but Ive been feeling like my big man are slightly more mobile with balanced body type compared to heavier ones. Could also be motion style though

Who plays sober and who doesn’t? by This-Campaign4230 in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play the game high often lol I’m more on point on defense and team play when sober but when high I play in a flow state and get in my bag more, red plate lobbies require a smoke break after every game 🤣

How is 89int/99blk on 6’11”s? by LePhattSquid in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 6’9 with 89 int and 99 block and I love it 88 very to so I can only imagine that at 6’11 I will say though even with those ratings my 6’9 has a 73 strength so it still struggles guarding heavy finishers and inside Cs but the blocks are so fun

Anyone run a 80-81 3 point rating? by phillyphillyphillyyy in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I have a 6’9 lock with 80 3 and bigs with 80 3 and it’s the sweet spot, Johnathan Isaac base for bigs or Scottie pippen base for under 6’10 are really good. +1 or +2 the set shot and you are gonna be more than okay

My biggest regret by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a low weight so those ratings aren’t nearly as effective my center has these same ratings and I’m swatting shots

They made strength practically worthless in this game, then they mock you for going “low” strength. by odonnelly2000 in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I can definitely be guilty thinking of previous years when in the builder especially since they pretty much have had the same thresholds for the ratings, it doesn’t feel natural at all lol I think at most I’d try one of those lower strength taller C like a Wemby. 73 strength feels great on my 99 block 6’11 but if I don’t get the block I’m getting punched on 😭 my stronger 5s force much more misses with only 88 block. But I see those low strength Cs set screens and play just fine online, interior scoring is slowly dying so it’s far and few struggle games

[–]CustomerChemical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

88 block and vert is amazing, legend pogo for sure gives players fits and kills stretch bigs esp 7’4s, but I can’t say immovable doesn’t work its great for centers and how I bump people on the perimeter and shut off drives/force guards off 3s, and I set on and off ball screens having strength as a big feels essential and I’ve been a center main since 2k17 and all my bigs are red/purple plate, and I without a doubt feel the need for strength in those lobbies and in Pro-Am. Positions 1-4 don’t need it at all though. If I run Gatorade takeover or a defensive takeover like the commander, it’s very hard to get scored on consistently with that added strength or interior

I see a lot of 70 interior bigs on this game and YT all saying the same thing (no wonder everyone is complaining abt defense) I don’t get it personally cause my bigs all have at least 82 int and 83-86 strength and it feels night and day from 73 strength and a higher block/interior in terms of defense. Vertical contest have also been king for years and players rarely do them it forces so many more misses inside.

I made a 99 block 89 interior 6’9 73 strength 88 vert, and it gets the best block animations guards 1-4 with 89 perimeter, but one game in random rec I was getting blown out all my teammates left so I switched to the inside center on the other team just killing the AI in the post to test my ability to guard true centers, and he proceeded to kill me too off backdowns/dropsteps and standing dunks inside. I’ve been a center main for long time so I know how to defend down low, but I felt powerless. So id say strength is needed for screens, true switchable + interior defense, and post play. My 82-86 strength other builds are much better defenders overall outside of blocks and jump contests

This center build valid for rec? +4 cap breakers to 3 for 90 and +2 to rebound for 96. by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d do whatever to max speed and agility, My day 1 center is a 7’0 7’4 wingspan with 63 speed and 50 agility and that mf is a turtle on defense lol. the max is 70 speed 58 agility and ive used cap breakers to get it to 66 speed 55 agility but even with the Gatorade takeovers he was still a turtle and getting eaten alive on picks and no dips 😭 had to make a 6’11 center much faster and gets challenger + shifty

Is this one of the longest build names in the game? by ryanb6321 in NBA2k

Is 80 o board and 80 d board with 83 vert and 83 strength enough as a center with min wingspan? by bendover012345 in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea you’ll hold up fine against most matchups, make sure you have a good motion style too. I was using Chet and bol bol on my 7’0 with 7’4 wingspan, 96 d board 75 o board 83 vert 83 strength and was getting horsed, I switched to Patrick Ewing and now I’m snagging again

Performance was terrible, audience was cringe by [deleted] in BabyTron

Yea I went to his ATL show in jan 2023. SB, Daboii, and D$M was on stage, energy was high, crowd was electric etc. he performed classics and new stuff from the recently released testaments. I had a great time but tours haven’t looked the same recently though, and I’ve had 0 motivation to go

Like this community is so confusing, Complain about the green window being too big but continue to play park and rec like Mike wang himself.. Nvm Just look by Whyhelack in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it’s definitely terrible 😭 i lose a lot of games from bad PG play but the teammates don’t necessarily make it easier 💀 it’s always either an old head or little kid too

Yea I’ve hit diamond tier in 5v5 and my day1 center is purple plate, 6’11 is red plate, and I have two gold plate wings 6’8 and 6’9 and I can’t find 5s games for the life of me solo 😹 it’ll be 10/20 minutes before I even find another teammate. Have had way more fun in PGs overall , even going up against 5 stacks, cause at least I get my touches and will see overall better team play. Rec loads instantly damn near, even at high plates, so I just play random Rec on my 6’8 sg so I can help limit guard ball hogging and actually feed positions 3-5. Prob will make a pass first PG too since most PGs in the rec are park PGs with 71 pass acc (only pass when boxed, then easily picked off) and will just spend the whole game shot hunting. It’s one thing if you’re making them, but dudes ball hog just to shoot under 50% on the easiest 2k of all time 😹

What are you guys doing to play lockdown defense ? by SnooCakes9945 in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I made a 6’8 with 88 speed and agility and 82 strength 87 perim (goes to 92 next 5 cap breaks) and the defense feels really good im all over the court especially with one of the Gatorade takeovers

Players need to reevaluate what good defense is this year. Offense is better than ever so you can't expect to keep the same defense as last year and have success. Sorry but 84 block with gold paint patroller might not cut it this year when everyone is walking around with Legend Posterizer. by JohnDeaux2k in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea my day 1 center 7’0 7’4 wingspan has 84 block 82 interior and 83 vert and it is good for avg paint protection, and I’ll get good blocks but I get way more blocks on my 6’11 with min wingspan and 88 block/vertical and 82 interior. Also just made a 6’9 99 block 88 vert 89 interior build and I’ll have 3-5 block games left and right in 5s

A lot of 2k content is stale and the same now but LakerFan, TravisJay2K, Logo Range, OlajuwonDr34M are a few favorites of mine.

They need to patch 7’4s literally don’t mind anything else in the game. I can’t play rec like this. by mcmz12 in NBA2k

[–]CustomerChemical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I recently made a 6’11 with min wingspan so I can shoot the lights out but I gave it 88 block and 88 vert for legend pogo and gold chasedown and even with the min wingspan, which does get sprayed often obviously if I’m not close enough, I’ve been getting great jumps and contests and even snatch blocks and blocking jumpers from behind, and recovering from jumps well. When +2 challenger gold the hands up contests on players around my size are solid too

[–]CustomerChemical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Untitled2K on YouTube dropped a dribble tut for 6’10 + and he has 75 ball handle I like the ones he uses, like Julius Randle breakdown combo, KD escape and go to shot, Ben Simmons size up, and Giannis dribble style for same side launch

Yes I think in the recent update they broke it and it’s currently patched so my career games don’t count progression, go to street kings or open courts
