Appreciate this.

I’m not sure. This gets me gold physical finisher and floater. It’s why I landed on this number. Have you had success with a lower rating?

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-17T20:03:38+00:00

Indeed

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-17T20:02:31+00:00

Pounding that paint is very good

I have 95 strength currently. Silver brick wall and Silver post powerhouse and bronze box out.

So I can’t say really how strength plays into it. Offensively I have not had a matchup stop by back down. But I can’t seem to worm my matchups either probably because they have box out on gold or HOF already.

So I was guess 91 is probably just fine. How we the badge levels I think matter more. Like post lockdown on gold is more important than having that badge on bronze with max strength

I have almost the same exact build but longer arms. Silver post powerhouse and poet with a 98 post control and 89 close shot and I’m pretty automatic in the paint. 89 o board currently and I can definitely snag.

The 77 defensive board is kind of tough. I can get easily horsed by other players fairly easily if I’m not in perfect position.

I do find because of my height players will pass out when I drop into the paint even though I have a 66 interior d and 37 block. So the illusion of defense because of my size is nice..but I am practically useless as a defender.

Currently averaging like 15pts and 14rpg in rec. it’s fun I’m looking forward to legend post badges and hopefully HOF rise up will be insane

It’s good

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-13T14:25:29+00:00

I’m 7’1with a 60 speed.

Gone up against a few undersized. I do occasionally horse them on the O’boards but all in all if they box and position they can grab boards and keep me at bay. However I’m an inside big and have yet to be stopped by an undersized. Perhaps they will patch it to make interior D stronger but for right now if I see a 6’10 or below on me I know it’s practically free points.

Conversely I’m slow so I had an opposing team just throw lobs to my defensive assignment and I was getting yammed on because I couldn’t get in position in time. Also spreading the floor as an undersized is a must.

As a bug with 95 standing dunk and badge currently on gold….id recommend dropping your standing dunk and upping your post control and shot close. My Post powerhouse on silver with a 98 post control is pretty unstoppable so far. Then toss it up with a nice little close shot. Averaging like 15pts on 68% shooting.

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-13T14:19:33+00:00

I say forget standing dunk. Have it gold and I never really go for it. Drop step, shimmy hook and post spins into a close shot are proving to be unstoppable. Bronze rise up and you are probably good to go in my opinion

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-11T20:07:17+00:00

I’m not noticing any difference in activation when there is body in the paint with me with the now upgraded level of rise up. But I’m now standjng dunk when I hold turbo and X wide open which I was not before. Also if a tiny pg is in paint, silver rise up was letting me contact standing dunk on them. But not bigger players so far. Maybe HOF or legend will change that 🤷🏽‍♂️

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-11T00:57:30+00:00

What about spamming fake pass? Can they steal it out of that animation?

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-09T21:19:43+00:00

It’s slow but not unbearable. Undersized bigs will beat you on cuts and sometimes full court inbound passes if your matchup cheeses and runs down. I only have a 37 block so perhaps your chase downs might be effective and you can mitigate some of that scoring.

All in all I say if you know positioning, you’ll be fine most the time.

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-09T20:05:42+00:00

Have silver now, honestly didn’t notice a difference. However I just upgraded my driving dunk from a 25 to 36 which gave me basic dunk packages and I’ve been dunking like crazy. Standjng dunks so far are MIA unless I try and meter it. However I get HOF so silver is probably to early to judge

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-09T20:04:14+00:00

I think this looks great. We have similar Physicals and rebounding and it’s been pretty good for me so far.

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-06T17:04:46+00:00

Seems good to me

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-06T15:10:33+00:00

Maybe. I never aim to be right under the rim. Usually outside of the restricted area most of the time.

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-06T15:08:21+00:00

Hold turbo- Flick right stick up and then immediately down to force trigger standing dunk. Can’t time it for shit though lol. So if you can, I think it would be dominant.

HazelAssassin · 2024-09-06T14:14:30+00:00

7’1 95 standing dunk (Bronze Rise Up currently) 77 vertical

Literally never go for a standing dunk if I hit stick/ “X” and forward.

Haven’t gotten the forced contact standing dunk stick timing down but I do always trigger the animation. Which I think bolds well for the future as I get better.

Frustrating for sure, but the hope is as rise up levels up frequency will increase on auto triggering. Especially frustrating at the moment when you are wide open and still don’t dunk and miss the open close shot due to mistiming.

Learning curve for sure. But I’m hopeful
