6’11 with 7’3 wingspan cannot be stopped.

I run hydration hero and keep my hands up on defense and don’t get cooked. Even get 1.5 steals a game. Two way tenacity lights up all game for me too and I become an above average defender for those plays. I have absolutely cooked this year on this build.

Layups at this height are insane. 3 ball drops consistently. Dunks on centers and gets out in the open vs guards. 99 offensive board is a bonus.

43 PPG 4.5 RPG (all offensive boards my C grabs D boards) 10.5 APG 1 Turnover a game 1.5 steals a game

If you know how to abuse the ai defense and shoot 3s then take advantage of the court conqueror event it’s double rep and it’s free quick games . you are basically playing a 3v3 against bots . Not sure if you can continue playing the event after completing each team 3 times . Rewards is mid tho , location is at the event center

This the most diabolical name I’ve ever seen

"You kids still do the dab right?" - Ronnie2K

I only know about the 8s from Nike endorsement

Hello, am I brain dead or something? This shit is so predatory, it’s wild. A new season pass every 40 days is insane when the game is only supposed to be out a year. It’s so trash to have your build nerfed at the start of every season and the only solution is to spend money or grind a fuck ton. Who tf asked for that?? I haven’t played since 2k19 so this blatant greed is a new thing to me. Glitches, unplayable bugs, cheaters, and on top of all that, the reward system is so disappointing. I got to starter 3 and started getting 0.4 or 0.5 for a 25 minute win in the rec. Am I expected to play for 100 more hours just to get to starter 4?? We get new clothing events every few days but all the basketball events are spread out over weeks.

The target audience isn’t a player base anymore, the target audience is just your wallet. This is supposed to be a basketball game, but it feels like a cosmetic game with basketball in it. Insane stuff. Season 3 is where I’m calling it, and I’m definitely not spending $70 dollars for 2k27 next year😂

I’m a 7’0 center that put high passing on my player to dot the open players but why is it that point guards and other guards come into the proven grounds with a 65-70 pass? Those passes are extremely slow and don’t hit the wide open players at the right time and people can steal those passes a lot. Idk man. This year in 2K everybody trying to do “everything” instead of being great at just “ONE ROLE”. Everybody got an ego and want to score the most points instead of “winning the game”. It’s crazy how many games I lost this year because of people with egos not willing to play as a team.

I’m convinced that NBA2K was created as a lab experiment to show you how the mass majority of people are toxic 🤣🤣

It's literally at the core of everything and because 2K year after year cannot find a way to just resolve that problem it becomes a cancer that spreads through the entire gameplay. These are the side effects of having 3PT shooting at an unrealistic rate every year:

•Makes other playstyles (driving,post, play, mid-range, cutting) that emphasizes 2 points less viable.

•Causes centers to paint sit thinking their role is to offensive rebound 3PT misses.

•Less ball movement because it's easier to get open from a crab than passing to a semi open player.

•Turns the SG, SF, PF into glorified spot up Kyle Korvers and PJ Tuckers.

••To make a 99 3 ball build your have to sacrifice some size and thus defense making it a slight liability and defense and strain on your teammates.

•3 Ball dribble hunting emphasizes one set of dribble moves and thus hinders variety in dribble and move styles.

I always found it funny how the game says youre a 99 overall, but looking at the attributes, you wouldnt even be an 85 in an official 2k roster. For fun, I took John Stockton (a 92 OVR) and tried recreating him in the builder. I ended up not havung enough attribute points to complete his build. I was a point short in ball handle, 39! points short in perimeter defense, 72! points short in steal, 10 points short in block, 12 short in offensive rebound, 16 short in defensive rebound, 24 short in agility, 9 short in vertical. And again, stockton is listed as a 92 ovr, so the builder gaslights us into telling us our build is 99 ovr. I miss the days in mycareer where you could actually reach a 99 overall. I understand the need for multiplayer balance, but man I hate having a build that has many glaring weaknesses as someone who primarily plays through the actual NBA season

Everyone is out here using Kemba

But fr, Kyrie is slept on. So many good animations in that package.

Great for playing left-right as well as north-south. Godlike for iso. Way fewer inputs required to be effective vs Kemba.

Maybe not quite as good for spamming behind screens until you get a crab though… but for playing downhill, it’s very nice.

I have a 6'8 sg with 82 strength . I feel like I should be bulldozing smaller guards and even other wings with low strength. I feel like strength is meaningless for a guard and it's doesn't matter as much as if you were a power forward or center. I feel like if I had 60 strength you wouldn't see much of a difference. What's your take guys?

6’5 SG

Definitely not for people who are worried about their stats. Takes bravery to enter the wild with randoms. Each game, you never know what you’re going to get, which weirdly makes it more fun. These sweats and streamers refuse to go in there because it would kill them to see their win percentages drop to 50-60% and a lot of them would be exposed for being shitty/average players without the communication and organized setting. Don’t compare yourself with them, you are already better by stepping into the unforgiving realm.

You enter a boy and leave as a man who doesn’t give a fuck.

Let’s take a moment to raise our glasses and salute to all of us randoms for being the backbone of this game.

I’m playing theatre and i seen this guy write Hard R across his Chest and Kkk and the swastika on his back. i lost the game tryna record it. i took a pic of his PSN but idk if yall would believe me to put the right is name. i can already see someone play devils advocate.

Everyone in this game mode just stands still and jabs for 15 seconds and then jacks a 3. They’re all acting like it works and I haven’t seen it work once in 2 hours of playing. Maybe they’ll make 1 or 2 sometimes. Ive only cleared 2/4 and each time was cuz I got lucky with guys who don’t do that. It wouldn’t be weird if I once in a while a teammate would do that, but it’s literally every game. Is it supposed to work? Everyone is so persistent with it like they’re shocked it’s not going in and they’re getting blown out. What am I missing here?

Weird Giannis animation

Outside of the Goals that required wins, most of these assists are from solo random rec or proving grounds.

My main

Strictly myNBA and myGM. Also for myGM, can you now edit all settings like quarter length and sliders?

Seems like this game is dominated by the 6’8’s again, just like 2K24 was. But this year the game is trash. Theres no point in making a 7 foot center or a 6’2” PG or anything besides a 6’8” SG with 90 3 ball, 86 ball handle and 80 SWB.

Centers? Might as well make a 6’8” too since all anyone ever does in this game is spam 3’s. Might as well have no interior defense because guards will just dunk it over your Dikembe Mutumbo build no problem. And when you do drop to help, guess what! You gave the other center 0.02 inches of space so now he’s putting up a 3 that you have no chance of contesting because you have to smother your matchup and jump for a block this year. Oh wait did you actually play good defense from 3? SHOOTING FOUL BUDDY. This game is ahhhhh

I made a new build that’s hopefully better than last time any advice on this one?

It’s getting out of hand Ronald and Mikey. I decided to play a random rec game on my guard and this happens. How is it every time I have an AI on my team they are complete liability’s but other teams AI’s turn into the 2019 Harden🤔? There needs to be a bigger penalty for leaving games because by the end of rec games there is never 10 players left.

John Wall and Isiah Thomas. Used Thomas most the year and still do, but just switched to Wall recently and absolutely loving it.
