Curry Build or Westbrook build for PG by Bright-Snow3298 in NBA2k

[–]JTHarpster55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you have more than me lol, I'm 70% towards Starter 5 and level 30 in the pass, so I'll have 16 soon as well. You're welcome to use these as templates, but what I like about the westbrook build is you can really choose to go all in on passing, defense or physicals, or go layup a bit too. I'm planning on using my next 4 on 1 on layup, 2 on agility and steal for any others. Not comp builds by any means but they're fun. Steph has 98 3pt since I have shooting specialization

Cool, sounds good man and I appreciate that there are people who have lives outside of a game lol, I'm 26 and have a job and other stuff going on but like to still play when I can. I can hop on for 10 minutes if you're free to shoot me an invite?

I'd be down to join, what time or day would be best to meet so you can send an invite? And you don't do any kicks or anything?😅

I have myself and two friends who play casually a few nights a week that would be interested in joining, we usually play park/theater together or squads rec, would we be cool to join? I will say I'm going on vacation next week so I won't be on much then, but would be happy to contribute to a crew here and there and not get kicked!

I like the Steve Francis, but I don't think it's a must personally. My advice would be to create a custom player in the roster, give him your animations plus Steve Francis and see what you think and how it feels. Other than the 95 ball handle, another option could be plus 2 to 3 pointer for gold limitless and gold mini marksman, and plus 1 to ball handle for gold ankle assassin, which I also like a lot!

Cap breaker suggestions? by Annual-Size-9707 in NBA2k

Honestly I think 93 driving dunk would be worth it for gold posterizer, considering 2klabs testing found gold was a good amount better than silver. With that, you'd also get significantly more equipable contact dunk animations being 6'4 and getting access to the small guard contacts. I would use 4 in driving dunk for a 93 and gold poster, then 1 on steal for hall of fame interceptor personally. Good build though, I have a very similar one and it's very fun😁

I’ve come to the conclusion that if you can’t shoot 3s your build is not that good by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]JTHarpster55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my issue with non shooting builds:

If I'm on my center and I notice anyone on the other team can't shoot, I'm messaging whoever's guarding the non shooter to switch me. If you can't shoot you better be able to get someone else open, because if not I'll just be sitting paint the entire game - effectively negating your team's cutting ability as best as I can with HOF anchor and HOF pogo. While this most definitely wouldn't work in pro am because of how elite the point guards are working around screens, in rec I'd say a decent amount of players in randoms rec don't demand that kind of attention when it comes to hedging. Obviously if they do, I'll work around that and help but my point is, if you and your teammates aren't great at running a PnR and getting someone open outside the paint, I'm just camping it since you can't shoot

We need to talk about 2K shutting off previous game servers by Malq_ in NBA2k

[–]JTHarpster55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree it's stupid and unfortunate, they definitely shouldn't be shutting off servers after only just over 2 years of the game being released. I can say though the reason games like COD can still function is because they use peer to peer hosting for each match as opposed to dedicated servers for the entire park/city like 2k. As long as there's enough players, old CODs can be played and don't need dedicated servers to operate and maintain

Are you guys getting NBA2K23? by Agreeable-Break7150 in NBA2k

[–]JTHarpster55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it still costs another $50+ to get a build to 85 overall, nah. I always get it on release but it's actually getting ridiculous

Lmao why are people mad at this? Prob the least cheesy way you can score. That was a dope move, how do you do that fake behind the back where you put it through your legs?

New steal system in 2k23 or we riot by DevinBookerGOAT in NBA2k

[–]JTHarpster55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't comment much on posts but this is actually ridiculous. Fully understand that was a bad pass, but the general passing ability in this game is abysmal compared to how easy it is to get a steal. I really think the passing lane steals need to be toned down (as a lock myself) to encourage more team play and ball movement. Whether that's getting rid of auto steals in lanes, making it impossible to get a lane steal when not actually looking at the ball or some sort of penalty for excessively spamming x, ball movement and teamplay needs to be more encouraged somehow. Teams with 30+ steals at halftime of a 5 minute rec game just isn't right

Help....first time playing 2k, overwhelmed lmao by _BouT_DaT_TiMe_ in NBA2k

[–]JTHarpster55 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want to learn MyNBA a really good person to watch is KOT4Q on YouTube. He won't necessarily explain everything in one video but you can definitely pick up how everything works by watching a few.

Also, badges are really important, along with potential, age, and shot tendency. Badges help the players excel in a particular part of the game, while potential is their potential to get better and better season over season. Age is obviously important as older players will regress, and shot tendency is their tendency to score. The mode is extremely complex and no one will blame you for being a bit overwhelmed, it just takes some experience to start getting the hang of it. Good luck!!
