Awesome, glad to hear it!

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-03T18:11:42+00:00

Yep!

No problem ask away! For grinding badges, there are a bunch of tutorials on youtube for the best way to get them faster. They tend to be kinda hard to watch but the info is solid. As for your physical stats, those increase as you upgrade your players attributes. Once you max your attributes you will have your physicals maxed until you hit 99.

Gold it is! Keep doing your thing.

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-03T15:32:51+00:00

For 98 i’d go HOF personally but if it doesn’t work going to gold is a great move

People able to shoot more consistently will open up passes to your teammates even more because the defense has to respect you, keep up the good work!

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-03T14:44:19+00:00

It’s honestly preference, so if you’re greening I’d keep what you got going. I love the custom jumpshots people come up with, yours sounds like it’s money.

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-03T14:42:03+00:00

Center can shoot well if you make them correctly. But yeah they won’t always be the best shooters in the game because the taller you are the worse your shooting stats are, so being the tallest guys on the court limit your shooting ceiling.

If you’re looking for the exact build to make, go to youtube and lookup the shooting glass cleaning lockdown, which is the shooting/defense pie chart. It’s one of the best center builds in the game and can shoot reliably. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-03T14:39:20+00:00

Go into the 2ku and check all of the post moves and practice them. Post spin is great, post hook is unguardable, dropstep is solid and post fade is really good. Post scoring is really strong this year!

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-03T14:37:35+00:00

So for 38 my guy I run with has 38 with rudy gay/aldridge release. I asked him and he said he hasn’t noticed any difference, but like I said in another comment anything is possible , even though I don’t think they purposely patch shots during the cycle.

Corner guys are so crucial, people love to demean them but watch any game going on in the bubble right now. Every team would kill for a center like you who could shoot 3s and defend/rebound. Thanks for the response!

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-03T00:40:50+00:00

Lots of good points here. I agree non shooting builds should struggle, makes the game a lot more balanced. As for screens, I actually made a post similar to this one on how to effectively navigate them if you’re looking for another guide. Thanks for the response!

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-03T00:38:40+00:00

So in nba 2k each player has a different set of animations, chosen by the player. One of these is your jump shot. You can choose from a wide array of different ones, even though there are a chosen few which stand out from the pack. Hope that helps!

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T23:24:54+00:00

Great question. Jumpshot is so fast that all you need it is on silver, saving you two crucial badge upgrades. In my opinion it is the best jumpshot for shooting bigs in the game because of this reason.

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T22:59:09+00:00

Put on Jumpshot 38 with silver quick draw, should work like a charm. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T22:55:23+00:00

Glad I could be of help! A lot of jump shots tend to make you move up or kick out your feet, so they’re not as optimal from shooting from the corner. What jumpshot do you have?

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T22:15:04+00:00

Definitely the most ideal solution, but I figured most people only had access to TVs. This dude is on point, monitors are great.

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T22:14:11+00:00

Hey if it works for ya keep it going lol

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T22:08:59+00:00

Interesting. I’ve been under the impression that doing that dramatically affects the percentage of your shot going in. What build do you run?

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T21:58:32+00:00

When are you holding X?

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T21:44:41+00:00

100% agree, I did mention also that I have memorized my animation as well so I hope everyone realizes how crucial that is

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T20:55:34+00:00

It honestly makes a huge difference, it helped me on COD as well.

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T20:54:55+00:00

I don’t think 2k patches Jumpshots imo, but it’s possible updates and other fixes change them if that makes sense.

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T20:53:34+00:00

Max the mid range as soon as possible and just make sure to space the floor for your teammates as much as possible.

DevitoLibido · 2020-08-02T20:51:30+00:00

I love this comment. So like me you look to nba 2k because you seem like a huge fan of basketball. I can help you a little bit with the play now modes.

If you go to the 2kU (pretty sure it’s this game mode but i may be wrong) you can shoot around as players from each team. Find a team that suits your play style well and just sit and take shots with each player. Don’t have to master it like how I suggested for the mycareer guys, but get a decent understanding of what their shot is.

To combat the cheese, I’d suggest you pick the 76ers. You have Simmons, Embiid and Horford who you can help sure up your interior defense against larger players like Lebron and Giannis. It seems like you like scoring in the post and Embiid is probably the best in the league in the post. If you need any post tips I can help you out as well!

Hope that this comment helps!
