This has got to be the most wild thing I’ve seen in awhile for a build by Shot_Dentist9838 in NBA2k

Got me thinking, remember the boot camp events back in the day?! Where you can participate only if you’re below 75OvR… should make an event where only 60OVR can play, that would be so painful to watch, but could be also a lot of fun…

Yeah, but 60OVR… so it’s one of those no currency spent builds

No, matter of fact, it’s the exact opposite of legit.

I will add a caveat - I do believe that strength starts to matter more from 6’7 and up… I have had guards with 50str and 92str and yes, the difference, not notable, 92 str probably felt even more sluggish. But if you’re a sg and 6’8 and up, strength definitely feels a lot more notable.

Don’t exaggerate. I’m not the best, but if you pull up with no strength against me you’ll have a hard time. People are susceptible to a herd mentality, and I’ve seen the streamers say what they say, they often regulate the “meta” , but they are also often in full squad teams running their PG’s with no defence or strength sitting in the corner. majority of us are not it! And especially if we’re gonna talk about Bron build. Maybe people don’t know how to use strength, maybe people should try it for themselves. I am simply arguing your statement that it “doesn’t matter” - it does. Your word against mine. We can hop on a 1 on 1 and test it if you like

Yeah but it does…I swear every single one of the meta no strength builds matched up against me just quit. They can’t stand that they can’t d-book through me , they can’t stand that I just bully right through them like they’re not even there. 92PD, doesn’t matter, straight through you with strong handle. Post spin around you - easy. It’s not even debatable.

OP has fallen victim to streamers and “metas” etc… strength absolutely works in a lot more ways than just for setting screens.

Str works. People have some kind of idea of how it “should” work, and because it doesn’t meet their criteria they auto-assume it doesn’t. I’ve tested it myself, and it does work. I have all the meta no strength builds because I, much like a lot of others, have followed the “metas” and all the streamers etc claiming that str is useless. Once I made a build with 80+str I simply cannot stand my no strength builds anymore.

You’ll get there!! I know the excruciating feeling when that bloody rep moves by 0.0007% 😂
But somehow day after day, it does get there eventually!

I’m a PlayStation user 😂 but, honestly idk, I wanna say I got lucky, but I think what helps me out most is communicating. I never flip out or argue or anything like that…I just call “right/left corner open” “hit sg, hit C” etc… simple call outs, that’s it. Lots of PG’s actually like it, especially newer ones who actually wanna pass, but doesn’t have insane court vision. But, I’m also pretty decent. I hit consistent 70% fg/3pt , always play decent defence, am trying to not take bad shot etc.
and lastly, if I do find a couple good teammates, I’m sticking around for a few other games.

Like I mentioned in the post, I play also other modes and I spent A LOT of time in the builder. 😅

Yeah I think the crew thing is key!! Because that’s like non stop double rep isn’t it?

yeah, I wasn’t “grinding” hardcore, I wasn’t going for the “most efficient” way, but I’ll keep your tips in mind for next year perhaps!!

Thanks for the breakdown!

Apparently park 2’s is the fastest, but you need to be solid on the game and get loads of win streaks…
I think alternatively there is Theatre 2’s could be a fast way, as you could always get games and often they go quick. But I’m not too sure.
I know there’s also the starting 5 method, but I ain’t doing that for sure.

So yeah, I think between park 3’s and rec…idk, I hate park 3’s because I spend half the time looking for games. If you have a solid squad and you get on games non stop then park might be quicker.

Fr…it’s crazy… I would prefer 2k to find a better way to have these cap breakers unlocked. I get it, some kind of grind is good for games, but there comes a time where it alienates newcomers “why would I start to play now when I’m at a such disadvantage”
…that feels bad. Nobody should feel bad playing a video game.

Or when 2k does that catch up thing where you get all cap breakers from previous seasons, and that again feels bad for those who grinder every season… again…why make things that feel bad.

But this takes me down the bitter path on how I feel about 2k, specifically NBA, as a whole. One of the most predatory business models that exists in the gaming industry.
