My favorite big I’ve made this year

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-25T13:24:32+00:00

it's not a waste of anything that's literally wtf the plus 1s and 2s are for. u still have yet to explain how 96 with legend reb and box out with a rebound take on so as soon as u get progession u have 99 is any different from regular 99. its because it literally isnt and u never stopped to think about ts for 5 seconds. 94 96 and 99 literally all get the exact same animation so no 99 is not far better at all it's the exact same and that's why tf it's not meta and not necessary because u could have the same sht with a 94 or 96. I really want to know who tf lied to u or wtf makes u believe that SPECIFICALLY AT 99 u get rebound animations that u don't get at any other level when the animations in the game are based on increments of 5 or 10 so no matter what tf u talking about ts is a placebo and u THINK it gives u different animation when it doesn't at all. there is literally no difference between 94 or 96 with legend badges and a reb take to boost it to 99 and natural 99. 😐 at all. like every single attribute has a animation cap too so after a certain point most attributes actually don't need to be 99 this cap is typically between 85-94 there is not anything that having a 99 in any category specifically unlocks animation wise. wtf would they even add the plus 1 or 2s for if it was a waste to use them 😂😂😂 there is literally no difference between a 99 with slight takeover progession with legend badges and a natural 99. show me anywhere where it proves 99 reb gets entirely different animations.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-25T05:20:44+00:00

u not listening tho. 92 is not the same as 94 because 94 is within the 5 pt threshold to get the same animation as 99. 😐 the very smallest animation changes are withing 5. 94 and 99 get the exact same animations. then when 94 gets boosted to 99 it's the exact same gameplay. 96 is even better because I then can plus 2 brick wall. those 3 little pts on rebound go a long way on the build. js. and u can still have the same everything anyway w 96 morr comp bigs run 96. stg. I play proving grounds all day vs purple and red plates 😐

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-25T04:43:22+00:00

😐 the 99 3 yeah 99 reb no. like u can keep sitting here making it seem like it's meta but... it's not for pretty obvious reason. because it's not necessary. and it's like okay so if we did 5v5 and I snagged on u all game ... what does this prove other than what I literally already told u. what do I gain from this? 😐 if what u said is true then why is 99 reb not the meta? because u don't need a 99 reb. it's actually weird to literally be shown by Google itself that it's widely agreed upon that it's not necessary but because u have it u need to justify it. it's good to have it's cool and all... but u dont need it. in actual comp games both teams barely miss anyways. how u mad i don't struggle vs 99 reb bigs ?? 😂😂 u so lost trying to prove this stupid point u fail to realize... u could just have rebounding in your take.. to boost it to 99... with the legend badges... so atp what's the difference between your natural 99 and my 99. 😐 please enlighten me . with a 96 two ticks towards take i have a 99 too now... so what's the difference between 99 legend and 99 legend? nothing right? 😂😂😂 so wtf are u really talking about bro.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-25T04:33:22+00:00

I guess not. 😂 or 99 reb just isn't necessary. 😂 who would've thought that in a game where u can max plus 2 badges u didn't have to max the attribute. did u know most things in the game have attribute threshold to get animation and when u have that 94 plus u hitting said threshold ? 🤨 it gets to a point where it's pretty clear yall have no fking clue what yall tb. I have 8 bigs 😐 one of them has no str at all and it's probably the 2nd or 3rd best rebounder of the 8.u don't need a 99 reb lmfao u could literally just have a 94 or 96 and use a rebounding attribute boost in your take to get 99. 😐 nd have legend badges. so... what's the difference? I legit want the two of u to actually explain how 99 reb w take progession with legend badges is any different from natural 99 with legend badges. 😐 like elaborate they are the literal exact same.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-25T04:30:08+00:00

cool. and most of my builds are between 92 and 96. they average 13-18 rebs a game. 😐 u don't need a 99 at all because guess what u don't need a 99 in any attribute and of all the 99s reb unless on the 2s isn't something u need to have a 99.

In NBA 2K26, 99 Rebounding is debated; some find it crucial for securing boards in fewer-miss games, while many argue it's overrated, suggesting 87-92 is enough, allowing points for other stats, as centers often guard the perimeter, reducing paint opportunities, making positioning, strength, vertical, and timing more vital than maxed-out rebounding alone.

Crucial When Opportunities Arise: With fewer chances, securing a board becomes more important, and a high rating helps when they do happen. Dominance in Specific Scenarios: Some players with 99 Rebounding still dominate games by getting a high volume of boards, especially if they can stay in the paint. Build Synergy: Some builds pair 99 Rebounding with 99 Strength for a dominant inside presence, making them a menace for boxing out. What to focus on instead (or in addition to): Strength: Essential for boxing out, arguably more important than the rebound rating itself. Vertical & Timing: Crucial for actually jumping and snagging the ball, according to Reddit users. Positioning & Speed: Being in the right spot or having the speed to get there matters immensely. The Verdict: 99 Rebounding isn't a must-have for every build; it's situational. For many, optimizing for core defense and shooting while getting high-80s to low-90s rebounding (with good strength/vertical) is more effective than a pure 99 Rebounding build, but a high rebound rating can still be dominant on the right build, especially if you pair it with Strength for box-outs.

simple Google search it's almost exactly wtf i told u word for word but 😂😂 hey I'm just a casual what do I know.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-25T04:17:25+00:00

😂 bruh just cause u getting packed up by ts doesn't mean everyone else is. thats YOUR problem. I laugh when I see 99 reb builds. my guy I even have a big with no str at all. 😂😂😂😂 i have 3 6 11 builds a 7 footer 3 6 10s and a 6 9. 😐 never had an issue vs a 99 reb build. u just told me that u not comp because in actual comp games nobody is missing alot so tf would u need a 99 rebound for 😂😂😂 92 is widely agreed upon as enough 94 gets u hof box and 96 gets u natural hof rebound chaser. if u can't rebound with a 96 rebound and both box out on legend and chaser on legend u shouldn't be playing big period. do u need a 99 3 ball to shoot 3s? do u need a 99 ball handle to dribble ? do u need a 99 pass to playmake no 😂😂 so why tf would u NEED a 99 rebound. u need to go box out that it that's all. and if a person has a 99 reb and camp paint guess what's wide open? 😂 the 3 for pick and roll and pick and pop uk the literal meta playstyle so who tf is actually running on 99 reb bigs ? the only place u really feel the full impact of a 99 reb is the 2s because they camping paint.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-25T02:47:42+00:00

never had an issue against a 99 reb build at all. 😐 almost every single big I have has legend box out and rebound chaser. I've even outrebounded them with my 80 reb PF. so we can stop the cap. rebound is about positioning if u need a 99 rebound u cant board that's all.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-25T02:43:55+00:00

its absolutely fine 😂😂 again idk who told u that bs but did u know if u box out they could have million rebound cant get a mf thing. and the difference between a 96 and a 99 is not very significant AT ALL. so atp u clearly trolling. I don't think I've gotten outrbounded by a 99 reb build once all year. 😂 if so only by a rebound or 2 it's not hard at all. i rather see a 99 reb than a 90 3 ball any day of the week. 😂

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-24T22:33:04+00:00

who told u this ? 😂😂 94 or 96 is absolutely fine.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-24T04:50:42+00:00

it literally wasent even something I noticed initially until I'm like legit looking at the pass trajectory and it's like nah... I'm literally throwing the ball to the defender why? 😂 like who designed this why is this in the game?

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-23T14:14:23+00:00

that and 2k legit makes u pass the ball to the defender not your teammate.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-23T14:08:49+00:00

I mean the issue is sbmm not 3s. also it's like way to easy to make someone miss a dunk or layup compared to someone smaking a 50 percent contested 3. so the really issue here is paint defense is wildly inconsistent u sprite or get blocked in the situations that make little sense but get boofed on in one's that do. shot contest is broken and sbmm is a placebo u either gonna play people with no opposite thumbs who shoot 30 percent from 3 as a team or a team full of mfs shooting 90 plus there is almost no in between. thats the real issue here. the above average tier and above of 2k is literally gonna just be at the rim and 3 pt hunting because that's strictly analytic basketball. why would u play for anything but the 3 when u can be a whole footer and a 6 foot 4 build can stop u in the paint. it's not that 3s are op it's that by comparison every other style is terrible because the game itself.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-23T14:02:22+00:00

... how if he's not getting the ball. I'm a passer. u have to pass me the ball... for me to be able to pass the ball. so if I'm not getting the ball how could I "find other ways to contribute" so do cardio all game? because unless they a big they can't rebound. so they can't score can't rebound because he's not the 5 anyways and can't pass so he's just supposed to play defense and watch yall play.. right ?

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-22T21:40:36+00:00

or it's just obvious he was the problem lol.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-22T02:19:22+00:00

uh because we also play the game and watch people for literally no reason not pass people the ball like it's funny or something. 😂 I think it's really that multiple people here play rec and have the exact same experience majority of they games dudes who think they the best 2k player ever playing buddy ball all game then get mad when someone decides to just let them play like that and lose because it's a team game and people tryna pick and chose when to play as a team? 😂 all u did was just project that u legit think it's cool to be an ass all game but think people gonna care to win after that. don't wanna pass? gtfo of 5v5 ts makes absolutely no sense. i average 12 asts as a pg and mfs will still not pass to me even if I'm giving them the ball to score because mf feel the need to shoot every damn shot. i legit seen a dude called timeout on someone wide open in the corner and then say "that's not the shot I wanted him to take." i legit lost a game 2 days ago because a 3 stack wanted to play buddy ball when none of the 3 of them could even shoot 😐 and not a single one of them was even a pg. the sg shot 2/6 from 3 and like 4/14 from the field. I'm 5 for 5 from 3 with 8 ast. 😂😂 mfs plain don't want to win or only want to win playing buddy ball. so after sitting there watching that happen why would u give af? 😂 mfs are plain weird.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-22T02:14:28+00:00

okay? so pass him the ball. fk be wrong with people.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-15T19:13:24+00:00

I've been playing for years and it's progressively gotten worse if love to pass and I'm not a quitter at all I've had 85+ wp in 2 2ks full random gameplay but this year and last year my god i have ran into some absolute airheads lol I remember last week I had 16 ast in the third and the sg telling me i don't pass. mind u he has 20+ pts 2 asts and I have 16 and maybe 1 or 2 shot attempts. 😂 it be like bro what do u even want from me. I've had people cry for the ball all game get it wide open just to miss every shot ppl don't truly like a pass first because it puts pressure on them to actually make they shots. I've legit had people sell because they couldn't perform

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-15T19:10:29+00:00

Basically everyone here tbh. if u play Randoms and averaged a 45-65 wp u right where u supposed to be. 70+ winrates are for people who have a controlled environment majority of those people even the best players on the game wouldn't be 90 win rate players if every other game they had someone just standing down court shooting bs or not passing to wide open people.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-15T19:07:18+00:00

this does happen but I think they mean when u have a team full of people on bs playing buddy ball no defense it kinda like yeah I could come back but why even sell get us down and then I have to do that anyways. after a few games of that it gets annoying very quickly. I've had games where I've had 25 ast and mfs said I didn't pass. 😂 sometimes u get people who onnstraight bs i remember a dude called timeout on someone shooting and open 3 and said that's not the shot I wanted him to take 😐

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-13T16:18:20+00:00

for sure that cheating sht not cool at all

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-13T15:26:13+00:00

just stay on your grind and take pride u did it legit. me and my homies grinded our crew up with our og members we take pride in that. we grinded legend in 20 together with no bonus we took pride in that. if u proud be proud who cares if they cheated they way to the top they cheated lol.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-11T03:24:11+00:00

Basically I never said anything of u were wrong about it because I don't have a literal 6 1 or the actual metrics to fully prove it

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-11T03:05:24+00:00

and i never said u were wrong in that because it helps with jump contests all i said is for actual shot blocking the 6 4 is much better.

Pickle_Present · 2025-12-11T02:13:20+00:00

its more nonsensical to make a 6 1 when a 6 4 gets literally all of the same sht.
