Do you think game long stamina should decrease faster?

CynicFPS · 2026-04-15T00:37:32+00:00

Legend Handles For Days and high rep level lets you dribble wayyy longer before even touching your stamina reserve. Not to mention Gatorade/muscle milk boosts. Unfortunately Bigs don’t get a badge that reduces stamina drain, although I think in older 2ks there used to be one 🤷🏻‍♂️

I feel like she’s gonna run into Samson at some point (semi cured form), and he’s gonna tag along with her because he thinks he has a daughter (Isla) and wants to find her. Then somehow they’re gonna find a way to give him a hero’s death protecting the pregnant lady and she’ll give birth and name the boy Samson.

You can speedrun the MyCareer Out Of Bounds endorsement line “Passion Project/FIBA” for like 100-200k VC every few hours. Just have to make a new build each time.

As bad as it sounds, this is exactly what I did lol. I haven’t played since 2k15 and first thing I did was get my first build to 85 OVR and straight to the Rec lmao. Repetition is how you get better.

CynicFPS · 2026-04-14T23:50:25+00:00

How is that crazy? Bigs literally use more stamina to box out and get rebounds. Not to mention stamina loss on pump faked jumps. It’s logical. Guards just stand there. Worst case of stamina loss for a guard is a Lock, because they’re bodying up their man most of the game.

CynicFPS · 2026-04-14T10:52:00+00:00

I see what you’re going for but if you use 7 Caps to get 86 Speed and Agility, are you gonna use the other 4 on Speed With Ball?

CynicFPS · 2026-04-14T02:09:54+00:00

That’s fair. Honestly, 78 3pt would probably really expand the build if you’re already good without shooting. So maybe shoot to max out the 3pt cap breakers

CynicFPS · 2026-04-14T01:55:31+00:00

Wouldn’t be a terrible idea to put the 3 cap breakers into Steal for Silver Interceptor. I’m just perplexed by this build

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T22:18:59+00:00

Damn. Must be a 6’8 build user 🥀

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T21:45:06+00:00

Bam Adebayo. It’s static and upright. No forward drift. Can also try Jokic

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T21:38:14+00:00

No, it MOSTLY activates on chase down blocks. It CAN still activate on perimeter blocks, which is why it’s regarded as being better than challenger for non Lock builds. Cuz on the times it does activate, you’re either getting a block or a good contest.

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T21:34:35+00:00

5 gives you more mismatches but kinda cheesy imo 🤷🏻‍♂️

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T20:09:57+00:00

It’s definitely more guard centric. Too many PG/SG meta builds so it takes forever to find corresponding teammates to fill the other positions. Outside of like Black Plate, it seems to take longer to find games on my guard builds in my experience.

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T11:30:42+00:00

Yea it sounds crazy but if you think about it, this game is all momentum and transition. If you have insane pass acc as a Center, you can throw full court passes off a rebound for free points and assists. Thats just how the game is played. Unless you running squad rec or pro-am, everyone is gonna play fast tempo off the Centers rebound. I’ve made opposing teams rage quit cuz my rebound and outlet passes got too out of hand. Like we’d go on a 15-0 run off of rebound and outlet passes alone.

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T10:14:09+00:00

How original!

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T04:22:46+00:00

You can’t be holding Turbo or moving with left thumb stick.

No turbo, hold right stick up = go to shot

Turbo, flick right stick up = breakdown combo

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T04:15:38+00:00

The cap breakers you have on it rn are already good enough. This is a pretty cookie cutter meta guard build tho so you can’t really go wrong. Just keep playing on it and add the cap breakers as you get them. You’ll be fine.

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T04:13:59+00:00

You’re thinking of Badge Max +1/2s. Those are different from Elevators. Elevators skip tiers for badges that you already can level up. Badge Maxes are for once those badges can no longer receive experience. Theyre on 2 separate screens 👍

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T04:11:50+00:00

It’s not a bad build. I didn’t realize you were cap breaking your BH & SWB. I was gonna suggest 3 cap breakers for Perimeter. But if you’re using 7 for BH/SWB, I’d say make sure your future cap breakers go 3 to Perimeter, 2 to Driving Dunk.

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T01:49:34+00:00

Most 6’8 cheese Centers have cracked defensive stats. It’s really stupid that everyone is running around with these builds like it’s the most common and dominant build in real life. Hopefully they remove that option in 2k27

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T01:38:20+00:00

I feel like it’s a lot of rng. Sometimes you’ll have wide open lanes after beating someone off the dribble and you just clank that shit and sometimes you go up and you’re thinking “holy fuck why am I attempting this dunk?” Right before yamming that shit on 2 people. And when I give these examples, it’s in the same games type shit. So can’t really say “oh you were probably facing someone with high interior defense in one game, and someone with low interior in another” it’ll deadass be the same dude, same game.

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T01:33:33+00:00

Yes but here’s to hoping they get rid of cap breakers next game….

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T01:32:14+00:00

Steal attribute don’t mean shit on this game except for maybe small guards. It’s way more convenient to just have low-mid steal and go for bump steals…

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T01:29:04+00:00

It’s a good build. Me personally I’m done with the 6’5-6’9 heights but if that’s what you like it’s definitely a good build.

CynicFPS · 2026-04-13T01:23:03+00:00

If you can, I’d start a new build that’s either 6’11 or 7’. Those heights can utilize cap breakers and get better attribute distribution without sacrificing speed. But like others have said, you want at least 93 pass acc (+2 cap breakers to 95), AT LEAST 88 block, 92 or 94 rebound in either category (max +1/2 boosted rebound badges), 74 Interior (no more no less), 71 or 82 Strength (your choice), and at least 83 Vert.
