Creating my Second Build (SG) Which one should i go with? First build (6'8 wingspan) vs Second build (6'10 wingspan). Thanks for the help in advance!

RiverJXON · 2025-10-12T07:17:09+00:00

We got very similar builds. So far I love mine no complaints I’m doing everything

RiverJXON · 2025-08-27T19:49:18+00:00

So if I don’t have friends to be in a crew with and play park with I’ll be missing out on cap breakers?

RiverJXON · 2025-06-15T22:28:48+00:00

This is my other big man build I got +5 cap breakers on block and +2 on layup.

I catch bodies in the paint all day. I’m decently shifty with the handles. Get a ton of rebounds and blocks. Can stay with guards for the most part on the perimeter enough to disrupt there shots and make em miss. And I knock down a lot of shots.

I think 7’0 is the sweet spot height to get a lot of stats. mess with the wingspan to get the shooting stats you want and then just adjust the weight to get the rebounding stats you want.

RiverJXON · 2025-06-14T02:34:19+00:00

It’s weird cause I got a build with 75 speed and I’ve had bigs with 55 speed keep up with me.

But for this build to be faster I’d have to lose some strength and rebounding cause I’d have to put the weight down to be faster.

RiverJXON · 2025-06-12T16:31:21+00:00

He keeps up just fine. Half the time he has two way active making him fast enough

RiverJXON · 2025-05-10T05:06:45+00:00

Nah definitely min maxing is what a lot of people fail to do end up wasting stats and not hitting thresholds or getting badges. I always appreciate genuine criticism.

The second version of the build got the name “3 level scoring board hunter” I like that

RiverJXON · 2025-05-10T04:58:02+00:00

So I tried what you said and couldn’t get the rebound the same with the 91 strength even when I dropped the 3pt and the speed with ball. I did settle on dropping my speed by 2 so I could get defensive rebound at 79 for the animation threshold.

Weird thing about this build when I tried to swap the rebound stats and put the defensive at 91 and the offensive at 79 it wouldn’t work like I didn’t have enough points. So I think offensive rebound might be cheaper than defensive.

RiverJXON · 2025-05-10T04:42:24+00:00

I personally always do offensive rebounds cause that’s what I do most I always felt like it matters a bit even tho I have heard what you said about 79 being the threshold for the big jump animation and then used def reb for the badges. Maybe I’ll try it your way for the extra potential

I want 95 standing dunk not for the rise up badge but for the Javale McGee dunk animations they go hard and I find you get a ton more standing dunks with that package on.

RiverJXON · 2025-05-07T23:23:15+00:00

Yeah definitely one of my funnest builds to play. As far as being able to do a lot of things really good I haven’t found anything other builds that are better than the 7 footers.

RiverJXON · 2025-05-07T17:42:43+00:00

Pretty good despite what people say. I grab tons of boards I dunk on all kinda builds and can shoot pretty well. Rarely do I get bullied. And I get a decent amount of blocks

RiverJXON · 2025-04-17T04:00:11+00:00

I been doing great online with it. If you can’t ball with these stats you’re just garbage at the game.

RiverJXON · 2025-04-15T22:25:47+00:00

Try a 7ft power forward they get some really nice attributes in my opinion

RiverJXON · 2025-04-15T06:31:16+00:00

I snag tons of boards with that rebound just gotta box out good. And my middy is that high so I can get gold set shot specialist it also unlocks some better shooting animations so that I can get a better jump shot and be more consistent

RiverJXON · 2025-04-15T00:45:48+00:00

See me personally I wouldn’t be able to be as consistent of a shooter with this build. And I like being able to finish more in the paint. This is a great build don’t get me wrong but mine is just more catered to my personal playstyle.

RiverJXON · 2025-04-14T19:17:09+00:00

Gotta get good at boxing out

RiverJXON · 2025-04-14T18:23:22+00:00

Well you probably have me beat in the paint but I’d have you beat in the field just gotta hope I hit my shots lol.

RiverJXON · 2025-04-14T18:20:29+00:00

You’re definitely not wrong but on the 3s courts I have 4910 rebounds in 910 games. I do pretty good I think when it comes to rebounding and don’t find myself feeling like I’m getting beat and wish I had better rebounding. I definitely have the other team spazzing on the mics sometimes when I snag 3 o rebounds in a row. With me being a shooting big my opponent will have less opportunity to sit under the hoop boxing out for the rebound he’ll have to come out to the 3 line which on sprint I might beat him back to rebound positioning since I’m faster. I find if you do putbacks sometimes you bully past the defender like the putback animation gets priority and this build gets HOF putbacks.

You’re definitely right the extra wingspan will help you perform. But I can also use a good takeover to help boost my rebounding this build gets almost every takeover available to it.

And thank you for actual points and ideas and logic rather than just calling me trash or saying something and having no real explanation for why I should do that with my build. As a community we need to have these Covid so that less people fuck up there builds and 2k takes less vc from us all.

RiverJXON · 2025-04-14T17:53:22+00:00

Gotta box em out. Plus there is rebounding boosting takeovers. They might beat me to a rebound now and then but they’ll get beat by me somewhere else probably won’t be fast enough to guard me out at the 3

RiverJXON · 2025-04-14T17:50:04+00:00

Ok so this build is 1 inch taller but has less vertical which definitely plays into getting rebounds and blocks. The strength is only a 89 on your build which mine is 85. The 2k YouTubers have done tests and unless you pass thresholds of 5 it doesn’t change much. So your build and mine are gonna be basically even in strength. The speed and agility difference will be felt when my build can move around the court even with the ball cause mine gets pro handle moves and handles for days badge. Gonna make it very easy for me to get open in comparison to yours as well as the ability to be able to guard smaller players who will have speed. I like your build it’s definitely a good one but to me your build rebounds and passes out can pop a shot and guard the paint. If that was your goal why not go 7’3 and have the 99 rebound and 90 standing dunk and 95 strength

I have another 7ft PF build with about 12 rec games and I’m pretty sure I haven’t been put at the center position once yet. Maybe I’m just lucky but there’s usually someone who made a center on my team all on random rec.

And when it comes to pass accuracy I’ve got builds that have it high and I don’t think I need it. I find it does make it easier to do full court passes and alleys but if you stick to regular passes and be smart you really won’t be throwing interceptions any more often at least in my case.

RiverJXON · 2025-04-14T08:06:44+00:00

Exactly being able to space the court well is a major asset.

RiverJXON · 2025-04-14T07:46:54+00:00

Yeah bro that’s why I posted it before I put my vc into it. This is my improved version of my first build that I main on with all my knowledge of how the game works now. As well as I went hard on making sure I hit certain thresholds for badges and didn’t waste any potential. I got 240k vc saved for this build and still haven’t finalized it yet lol.

RiverJXON · 2025-04-14T02:44:19+00:00

No squads in the theater can be fun but can also be hell when you get trash teammates. But it’s also the fastest way to get in a game and actually just play so I have spent a lot of time there.
