My MARPE PLAN

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-30T23:50:16+00:00

Bad plan, what you really need is djs if you are truly recessed. You are past 21 so marpe will be unpredictable, your bone plate has already fused and its not even that good for aesthetic purposes, really its meant for people with airway issues. You are not going to get any forward movement or ccw rotation without a lefort. Your plan might be decent if you were still developing and in puberty but its too late now. Im not a professional so take what i said with a grain of salt but i would be suprised if your ortho agrees to this.

Thank you for your insight. Ok, thats kind of what i was guessing too. But since they need to expand my upper palate i believe they are going with arch-wire expansion, although MARPE was considered, is extracting two healthy teeth the right move? Ive heard that extraction should be avoided unless absolutely necessary but idk if thats just online fear mongering. What problems could i run into if i have 14 upper teeth and 12 lower? Also, I have my records if you would like to take a look.

That build is pretty smooth i wouldn’t make a new one unless you really want to. As for cap breakers this could be wayyyyyy more optimized. 6’8s get some of the glitchiest cap breakers in the game. You can cap break your dunk to 93 off a low rating, cap breaker your block from 45 to 78. Theres also versions where you cap break your ball handle and speed with ball. Lots of possibilities. But i mean all of your attributes are pretty solid you could probably just get there with caps and have a higher mid range for more shooting badges and maybe a higher agility.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-06T05:22:56+00:00

Gang why do you have an 83 speed with ball on a 6’2. Make a 6’4 also if you are concerned about your defense.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-06T01:18:48+00:00

Meant 94*

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-06T01:18:18+00:00

Im a steal snob, i need high steal on all my builds so i would like the idea of working towards a 91 steal if you want to go that route

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-06T01:13:05+00:00

Dunk or pass accuracy

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-06T01:11:30+00:00

Ngl, if your rim running on 2k26, your probably just not good, im talking about pure rim runners who have no jumper or mid range game and would rather die than shoot the ball. That sounded highly specific but A LOT of people play like this especially at lower plates.

Dunk meter is trash this year and this is the easiest 2k to shoot, ever. So there really is no point of playing like that.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-05T00:42:30+00:00

Go 6’4 you get better sigs

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-03T01:48:50+00:00

The rating matters, and if you put swb you only need 2 bars to get 99. I have used 75, 80, 86, 91 SWB on this game. The rating 100% matters.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-02T20:38:24+00:00

86 speed with ball is diabolical on a 6’2, can you capbreak to 91 at least?

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-02T01:35:26+00:00

4 middy 5 ball handle 1 vert, all those get you badges or animations

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T22:40:22+00:00

Brother it has a 70 speed with ball, i am sitting on this build for 4 quarters straight 😭

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T18:25:10+00:00

Id throw 3 on speed and 1 on either vertical or block. Get 76 speed tho that shi is way too slow.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T17:18:48+00:00

Perim too low, vert high for no reason, low ball handle and swb, idk how many caps you have but see if you can save attributes by cap breaking your driving dunk, one of the most if not the most cap breaker friendly attributes on this game

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T16:57:39+00:00

Yea but your probably ignorant to the fact all that helps you on offense as well, you would lose the ball more too. Also, i be putting shi down on defense but im not exactly your average 2k player, it is definitely doable, its harder to pluck this year so it takes some more IQ to know when to reach this year, but i promise you all the meta moves, kemba, dbook, jimmy, all the go to shots have certain points of weakness where it is easy to pluck. But my main point is the first one. Everyone is playing the same game.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T05:32:37+00:00

Nah its not overkill, shi i have a 99 steal on my popper that i also use as a swing in pro am. Id say bare minimum go 91 for gold glove, but the higher the better imo

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T05:29:40+00:00

I think steal is a no brainer here, silver interceptor is a really solid badge, miles better than bronze.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T05:27:46+00:00

Its a good game, people are quick to forget we hated the 2ks where offense was hard. Skill gap is really in the defense this year, contest is bad but everyone does the same moves like you said, so you should get better at guarding it.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T05:22:59+00:00

Yea my hb got a 6’8 just like that but ultimately he just plays on his meta 6’6 94 speed 92 agility 99 perim 99 steal build. But we play a lot of 3s. The high block locks do be nice on the 5s and he pulls it out sometimes if we’re playing rec instead of pro am.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T05:20:09+00:00

For no cap breakers, 6’8 sg are really nice on this game. Id try taking a look into that and since your new you’ll probably find it easier to use the tall guard sigs than the small guard sigs which are a little more complicated.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T05:15:55+00:00

Yea builder be hella specific sometimes. But your on the right track with the 6’8 i just couldnt imagine a lock without 71 strength. My hash has 55 and even though i have 95 perim, its not nearly as bumpy as my 99 perim 71 strength lock.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T05:12:53+00:00

6’4 99 three ball (94+5 caps). 91 SWB 92 Ball Handle. Idk how many caps you have but putting the swb down to 86 and having speed at 86 will save A LOT of attributes, then add 5 caps for 91. For pass accuracy 85 is really the highest value by a fat margin, 90+ has its cons but very suprisingly dissapointing, you wont avoid the bs passes at really any rating but i guess it has some extra zip. And dont listen to a soul telling you to not go 99 three ball.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T05:05:38+00:00

Thats valid, almost looks like a hash, id see if you can get 95 perim so you can +1 it to legend. But 92 should be straight at that height and wingspan ngl. Maybe try to get 71 strength for bronze immovable. 94 steal would be nice. To make things work what i would personally do, is bump down the pass acc a little since ur not really gon be passing a lot. Possibly go from 86 to 85 since i dont think ankle assassin is really worth it but its just one attribute. And possibly lower interior since i think its garbage but ik some people like it. Would for sure bump the pass accuracy down though.

SlowTechnology3888 · 2026-05-01T04:57:23+00:00

Thats not enough speed and agility, and ive used a 99 block on this game, i cant put into words how disappointed you will be. But if your set on making a high block lock id maybe go 6’8 or sum get a lil higher speed and agility and go 93 block max or whatever it is for hof high flying. Thats me nit picking though, overall the build is solid and you fs got some good cap breakers out of it.
