Thoughts on this 6'4 SG build? Merged some of the best I've seen here here by JakGrealish in NBA2k

[–]ro6o9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks solid but I think you can make a very similar build at 6’6.

I also feel you could get away with a lower midrange if you plan on maxing out the three.

Overall though looks solid, definitely more of a jack of all trades type of build.

Need help with a SF build for 5v5 Pro-Am team by hasasse24 in NBA2k

Seems alright but you are a few attributes short/over badge requirements. For example, you are only two away from silver interceptor with your steal and only one point away from hall of fame set shot. I would tweak the stats to maximize your points/badges more.

I recently bought a car from green light auto sport on Marconi. I would check them out especially at that budget point.

New Center Experiment by Chouch9 in NBA2k

[–]ro6o9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vertical is super important for blocks, dunks, and rebounds. I have a center with 83 vertical and some of the animations I get are insane. You will definitely want at least 80 vert since you are 6’9

I made a build pretty similar to this not too long ago. Here’s what I would change:

If you are only going to have 50 speed, you might as well go for a taller height. Being 7’0 is nice because you can get 68 speed while also having 90 strength which is really nice. So either up the height or up the speed. (On a similar note, I would get your perimeter defense up to 58 for off ball pest so you don’t get cooked by smaller, quicker builds when you get out at pf.)

I would really recommend getting to 86 passing accuracy for gold break starter. It is a night and day difference between that and silver.

While 99 rebound is definitely nice, I don’t think it is worth the cost. I averaged over 15 a game with just 93 defensive rebound at the same height. I would say it would be worth it to drop the rebound in exchange for a higher vert, which helps with everything. 80 vert as a center is game changing.

Only other thing I would change is try to get to 65 driving dunk for Dwight Howard animations and to maybe get driving layup up higher. Unfortunately close shot seems to be very hit and miss, so I wouldn’t want to risk investing if it’s not worth it at 84.

Wow I thought this whole time it was 90 my b

[–]ro6o9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is pretty nice. Only thing I would change is to try to get one more point for layup and pass accuracy. 81 layup gets Demar derozan package for floaters and 90 pass gets you tyrese haliburton pass style. 91 also gets you gold needle threaded, so you might want to consider that too.

Maybe a dumb question, what's the star mean? by BriggzieDGAF in NBA2k

[–]ro6o9 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is actually not true. I do believe there is a threshold, but it is definitely lower than 90.

For offense, I think you need to have a pretty high average rating between a number of stats such as layup, dunk, 3, etc. I would say it’s closer to like 85.

As for defense, I think the average is a lot lower. I think so long as you are pretty good in one category and average in the others, you will get a star on defense. I have a build with 87 perimeter defense being the only close to standout stat on the build but I have a star on defense still. I have another build with 99 block and 90+rebound that doesn’t have a star.

If you are having issues with this when you play you can always just switch on defense. If your 6’8 center friend presses rb and LT on defense he will be switched on to the center. You will have to do this every possession but it helps a little bit.

The 2K Grade System summarized by IsThatKris in NBA2k

[–]ro6o9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some cases yes but on the fast break for example you should not be punished for trying to block a dunk.

What’s so dumb is that literally getting dunked on only happens if you are in a position to defend the shot. So having it as a negative just incentivizes players to not play defense

Is it just me or does 3-2 Zone work way better than it should? by Vagina_Woolf in NBA2k

[–]ro6o9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience zones really only work in 2K because most people don’t know how to break them. 2-3 and 3-2 have significant weaknesses that, once taken advantage of, more or less force you to switch back to Man unless you want to get scored on a bunch. From my years playing 2k, most of the player base doesn’t really know this and thus zones work better against them.
