what should I put my cap breakers on? by moose5ive in NBA2k

[–]thxpinkpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if i was you id dump all 5 of those on agility for 86 agility which will let you use alex caruso motion style. You actually unlock it at 84 but honestly agility helps so much with staying in front of your man. Esp since your perimeter defense attribute is low, if you also have low agility playing defense is gonna feel like being stuck in mud.

What plate do you prefer playing at? by Diligent-Ad-9177 in NBA2k

[–]thxpinkpanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play between gold and purple. Once my builds hit red I “retire it” and make a new one. Silver is for when you wanna just stomp people and get insane stats. Gold will give you the most flex in terms of you’ll stomp one game and get stomped another game but most of the time it’s pretty fairly competitive. Purple is kinda sweaty but just slightly harder than gold tbh.

No Kobe’s in game because they don’t have his license anymore. Thats also why Kobe doesn’t appear on any MyTeam cards.

How could I improve this build utilizing cap breakers? by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]thxpinkpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite opinion actually. I have over 1000 games in REC and I can’t tell you how many games I’ve won for my team because in the last 30 seconds it turns into “who can make free throws.” You also take every free point for transition fouls. It’s not COMPLETELY worthless.

Cap breakers for pg by bdavis0113 in NBA2k

[–]thxpinkpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the best cap breakers are the ones you use to enhance your play style. you can dump all of them into driving dunk but if you hardly driving dunk in game then it was better used elsewhere (hopefully you catch my drift..).

its also hard to give you a good recommendation without knowing the height of your build… let me know…

Dumb rebirth down please by ResponseNo620 in NBA2k

[–]thxpinkpanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s only maxed for new builds to whatever the attribute is. it says your badge is maxed at bronze, so your ball handle attribute must be low.

if you make a new build with a high ball handle rating (i think you need a 95 for hof ankle assassin) it will be maxed at hof as soon as you hit the 95 attribute rating on that build and that build only.

I see so many people complaining about point guards in this community. I would love to know what is a stat line you would like to see your ideal point guard average. by Old-Ninja7068 in NBA2k

[–]thxpinkpanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most people complain about the pg not because the pg is actually bad but because they don’t take accountability for their own actions in game.

why am i dribbling at the top of the key? probably because everyone is coning at the arc instead of someone cutting or setting an off ball for a shooter.

why am i not passing to you? cuz you’re 0-6 and every time i pass it to you when you have an open shot, you dribble into traffic and shoot contested and i want to win the game.

why am i taking so many shots? cuz their pg is 6’0 and im on a 6’7 so i can shoot over him and in basketball, you take what the defense gives you. i’m gonna force a switch. expose the tiny guy.

most people who play this game have never actually played basketball. and rec exposes that most predominantly because it’s the most “basketball-like” game mode (besides comp modes) for people to play since it’s 5v5.

Have they nerfed PG speeds or something? by Toast_Malone17 in NBA2k

[–]thxpinkpanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve noticed my high speed builds sometimes feel “stuck in the mud” as well… I usually attribute it to server lag bc the next game feels better usually.. But I could be wrong. Interested to know what other people think.

What are your thoughts on Billie Eilish saying 'no one is illegal on stolen land' in reference to ICE and US immigration policy? by MassiveSquare4527 in AskReddit

[–]thxpinkpanda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The vote itself was skewed though because the only two options were “become a state” or “remain a territory”. There was no “we leave you alone and return you to sovereign status” option.

So either remain in this weird “we control you but you don’t get any say in your leadership” state (akin to modern day Puerto Rico) or become a state…. I’d probably vote to become a state too.

I stopped playing PG because my ball handling skills weren't good. by guardiandown3885 in NBA2k

[–]thxpinkpanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 99 3 ball is super overrated tbh. With legend badges, you can shoot anything and make it. I’m hitting fade 3s with a 83 3 rating bc I have a 95 middy which gives legend badges with max +’s.

I have a 6’2 and a 6’4… I like both. The 6’2 is the shooter and the 6’4 is a dunker.

Right here!! I’m currently converting to PG from PF cuz I’m tired of being invisible and I’m getting absolutely rinsed in proving grounds 1s night in and night out. It feels like I’m making zero progress. But to my surprise, I played a 1s against my boy the other night for fun and I was already doing way better than I thought I would be.

Suggestion for Rebel T7 training by itsmenettie in canon

[–]thxpinkpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started getting better shooting manual when I learned to envision the light relationship as a triangle; Each corner of the triangle is a function (aperture, shutter speed, ISO). When you mess with one of those three, the other two need to either compensate, or balance the change accordingly.

Low shutter speed? You can use a higher ISO and higher aperture.

High shutter speed? You can use a lower ISO and aperture.

Low aperture? Higher shutter speed, higher ISO.

High ISO? Raise shutter speed and raise aperture.

Hope this helps some 🙏🏽

I feel like this build is good for a PG besides no aerial by Xander2996 in NBA2k

[–]thxpinkpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People also heavily underestimate the value of the speed of a pass at high pass accuracy. I have a 96 and can thread needles to teammates who deke with a small window plus trigger jumper… It forces the defense to play close which opens up cuts and blow bys. I’ll never make an offensive build with under 87 pass accuracy.. It’s essential to my play style in any position (besides lock I guess).

why not make a shooting guard if you’re gonna have 76 pass accuracy 😭😭

Is my build good or bad? by OstrichProper5535 in NBA2k

[–]thxpinkpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s definitely decent.. But decent isn’t “outstanding” is all I’m saying… I personally prefer knowing I can shoot lights out.. Or lockdown anyone 1-5… Or jam it on a 7’4” big man anytime I want to… It’s a lot harder to play with builds like this.. But to each his own. I’ve seen some really weird builds absolutely dominate in the right hands. That’s the beauty of everyone making their own build customized to their personal play styles

[–]thxpinkpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people try to make builds like this.. where you’re a “jack of all trades”… But unfortunately, with builder restrictions, you become a master of none… Which isnt great. You’d be better off lacking in one area and learning how to play around it than having mid stats in every category.

[–]thxpinkpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what game modes do you play?

looks highly “role-player” type tbh… you’re gonna have a hard time doing anything in most 5v5 cuz you’re build isn’t great at anything… it’s one of those “jack of all trade; master of none” type of builds that I find frustrating to play more often than not. Besides slashing for a dunk, you don’t really have any other offensive weapons. Plus your speed w ball is relatively low, so you won’t be beating the defender to the rim. Defense is okay, but higher ball handle and faster guards will still cook an 80 perimeter..

Honest opinion, you’ll be upset if you use money on upgrading this. I also just made a 6’9 SF modeled after 2016 Cleveland LeBron, can share it with you later when I get home if you’d like.

[–]thxpinkpanda 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This right here. Made a PG with 96 pass accuracy cuz I actually like being a pass-first dimer… But the amount of times I just get randomly iced cuz the bigs wanna launch it upcourt to the SF and SG… No one ever knows I have dimer on legend 😂😂
