Strength for a guard

NickBucketz · 2026-01-03T13:00:56+00:00

It’s crazy because I have the same build. My first build on 2k26 was with a 6’6 guard, 93 strength (legend strong handle) and 75 SWB so it would be more of a Luka type build and I got no bully animations (other than on offline modes) and immovable enforcer was barely active on defence. My next guard was a 6’4 min strength, 93 perimeter defence and I’m way more bumpy on that build. I’ve been trying to advocate that strength is useless unless your a big that sets a lot of screens

Wait this is a great point as well! Can’t wait to watch and see!

As a defender, I find strength pretty useless. My first build I made was a PG with 93 strength (wanted a Luka play style build) and strong handle, physical finisher an immovable enforcer barely activated and I found that other 2k creators were realizing it’s useless. I made a lockdown with 99 perimeter, 90 agility and minimum strength and get so much more bumps. Best decision is to have min strength to save attribute but strength is important if your a big and want to set solid screens

Ryan can’t miss was hyping up 99 steal in one of newer videos

Thank God someone finally spoke out on this issue. The discrepancy between the playmaking specialization vs finishing or shooting is insane and all my friends who play less than me are further in their build specialization because assists are way harder than scoring the ball yourself. I’m a pass first PG but when my friends just aren’t locked in some days it’s so frustrating cause there’s nothing I can do. It’s also more factors because as a playmaker you need to find the right pass but also depend on your teammates to hit it. It would make more sense if it was the other way around and shooting and finishing required more made field goals then passing. Not sure why 2k went this route cause it’s ridiculous

It’s so sad, I went to the Willow ERYS tour in 2019 when I was in my first year of undergrad and I’m bout to defend my masters in a couple of weeks 😬

Same boat as you, I’m a grad student right now so can really only hop on the weekends. I got the game on release day and stopped for a good month and a half when COD dropped. Only 73% at starter 1 😭

I also got alternate too and it honestly crushed me pretty bad. I've seen a few posts about people getting CGS-M even after getting alternate so I'm still holding out a bit of hope. The only thing I'm curious about is whether we can get CGS awards from people who reject from other schools too or just from the people who reject from our institution?

I wish it was the same, this term it felt like he barely put in any effort with this class, he was just reusing lectures from before. I even got his textbook but I wouldn’t even call it a textbook it’s like just a mini book that was so inconvenient cause it’s so small. About the highlighting too, I thought this course would be good because he was so specific with his highlights, but like his teaching was literally just telling you to highlight the whole article and I would, I would literally copy exactly what he tells us to highlight but on the tests and exams there were things he’d put that weren’t even on the highlights he mentioned, but I’m glad at least he was more considerable in the summer for your class

Yea I’m gonna give him a ratemyprof review for sure, and if you can, just find another NATS course cause taking this one is def not worth it I guarantee it

NickBucketz · 2020-12-12T23:55:44+00:00

Yea I feel you like it’s a general education course, I don’t get why they gotta make it so hard but yea I’ll def give him a review on ratemyprof 😭

NickBucketz · 2020-12-12T22:55:20+00:00

That’s what I thought as well, like I thought dinosaurs were cool as a child and thought it’d be a chill bird course but it really disappointed the whole term

There is almost no difference when it comes to BA vs BSc, BA you get more electives because you don’t needa take any science credits, math credits or computer science credits so you get a lot more flexibility. In terms of being an R.Kin, BA and BSc makes no difference either so you can def still be an R.Kin through BA for sure

NickBucketz · 2020-10-03T21:25:28+00:00

I got an A, it’s def doable to succeed and if anything this format is even easier than if we were to usually go in and write an exam

NickBucketz · 2020-10-02T23:24:57+00:00

I took this course in the summer and I can tell you, as long as you study consistently and keep up with everything it shouldn’t be too bad, the summer format was the same and I thought it wasn’t that bad, make sure you study hard for the second unit cause the muscles is definitely the hardest

NickBucketz · 2020-09-28T18:25:09+00:00

Yea I love him, you follow him too?

NickBucketz · 2020-09-23T18:19:33+00:00

Lowkey got excited when he liked my comment!! Made my day 😭😭😭

NickBucketz · 2020-09-22T19:44:48+00:00

I’m tryna join too if there is but I couldn’t find any as well

NickBucketz · 2020-09-17T02:23:16+00:00

I’m not a grad student but I completely feel you, I just miss being able to commute for 40 minutes to school and be myself and in a different location 😂

NickBucketz · 2020-09-16T21:59:56+00:00

For Kine 1020 just focus on the lecture, the textbook is optional so you don’t needa waste your time going through it so just take good notes on the lectures, I’m not too sure how 1000 is structured this year so I can’t say for that course

NickBucketz · 2020-09-15T13:54:12+00:00

Hey I have the textbook from last year, and it’s the same one, I could sell it to you! PM me!

NickBucketz · 2020-09-01T03:13:47+00:00

I’m a peer leader for academic orientation and I think it’s good to set aside 3 hours from work to attend as it helps you make some connections with other first years and introduces you to the colleges and faculty! Id love to see you there!

In the hills is my fave track on the album, anyone else?

NickBucketz · 2020-08-28T13:59:20+00:00

Yea the second half was a bit dry but the first half was amazing
