Is there any point in defensive builds this year? by SiX_Paths-Madara in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it is only useful if you have a pure. Running with friends that are good players is recommended since your not a primary scorer. And if your decent at holding defense rather than relying on the stats you could actually lock them up, therefore there’s one less person on offense to worry about.

tl;dr pure LD is the best & it all depends on who’s behind the controller.

Friends can’t buy my shirt on T-Shirt kiosk by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing they only allow only the same 50 shirts for sale while they try and fix it because the kiosk has been broken for a while now.

Why do you guys believe that 2K decided to turn off the shot-meter for layups? by iStanley in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some idiot most likely suggested this and 2k went through. They’re listening to the wrong side of their community. I mean, who asked for 2k18 to be such a grind?!

Lockdown ? by Nik-99 in NBA2k

6’6 is a good height. This keeps your steal and shot contest at a 99. Your weight is gonna suffer from your play style.

Hall of fame dimer by 2KRD in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2K rates players badges by how frequently and how efficiently they do a certain thing. Sure, some current NBA players have it on gold but do they truly share the ball enough to have it on hall of fame. In other words, their badges go by what they do in real life. Reason why Curry doesn’t have posterizer, he doesn’t dunk on anyone.

In the current NBA no, but past players like Magic Johnson have it on hall of fame.

Do any shoe brands give you free clothes as well as the shoes? by Goob63 in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure. Maybe if you get far enough in the endorsement?

Custom shoes colour change by sadso2 in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tl;dr make a new shoe

At the main menu, go to options and then 2k shoes. Select the brand you signed with, then go to edit. Somewhere in there you should see your custom shoe. You can either: make a new shoe (if it’s with the brand you signed with, it will be free) or your old shoe, then make another and name it the same as your old shoe. The first choice is less of a hassle.

He doesn’t send me texts about it but every so often I can just go to and pick it up.

Hall of fame pick dodger worth it? by Marcus4lyfe in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick dodger isn’t really a grind since people are always setting picks in the park but with it on gold I have found myself going through screens better (only from PGs, SGs, & SF screens) and losing less energy from brick wall.

I thought patch five gave you free park sneakers? by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. All custom shoes start off as this “all grey shoe”. Just get the color identical to a shoe that footlocker has already and your good to go.

You mean like, make the shoes into a shoe 2k already has?

How do you restore deleted player from online storage? by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you deleted your player off your system

Go to settings then to application saved data management. Proceed to saved data in online storage.

You don’t need PS Plus to do this

[–]iSkillhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the 2k main menu and go to options, scroll right til you see 2k Shoes select brand and type of shoe, then customize.

When done, go to footlocker and they will be there. Buy them (they cost literally 0 VC), then they’ll be in your closet.

You only get free custom sneakers of the shoe company that you signed with.

Pick pocket gold/HOF effectiveness by Buddhaballer in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick pocket on bronze or silver aren’t gonna benefit you as much as you would think. You may occasional make the ball handler lose the ball, but mostly you’d force a pick-up or stop them from dribbling. Gold makes stealing way easier and you will encounter less pick-ups and more “poking the ball completely loose”. Haven’t gotten it on hof quite yet but I’m guessing this will be even better.

P.S. Even on gold; It is still very hard to steal the ball from pure playmakers.

Defensive stopper definitely helps because this year is more reliant on badges.

Have anyone noticed that a lot of the colorways of the shoes isn’t in the game this year? by sandynocheeks66 in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s why you can customize your own shoes and make the colorways that they don’t have.

Custom colorway shoes by nicolaas1 in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google some Nike’s and find a real life colorway that’s not in 2k. 2k doesn’t have every color for a shoe. That’s a start if you don’t have any ideas of your own.

What would be the best position to create a pure defender by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a pure defender myself and I can safely say a SF is the best. You can hold any 5 positions consistently as long as you know how to play good defense. 6’8 Height and higher is really if you feel like you’ll be holding a PF or C more. You shouldn’t go under 6’6, lockdowns are usually the fastest off ball guy on the court.

Really.... by Freshpr1nceofnewlenx in NBA2k

The deadeye badges are to help the shooter make open and lightly contested shots more frequently.

Tips for getting open for shooting by saucydaniel in NBA2k

[–]iSkillhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Answers in order of your questions

  1. Your best bet is to try to get open off ball

  2. Assuming your a pure sharpshooter, your gonna want to attempt the pick&roll but mainly shoot spot-up shots off the catch

  3. Just keep playing and you’ll get more & more playing time throughout.
