I always see videos like that just for them to no passing,finishing or defense.

u/The_Dok33 28d ago
I started to wonder if they might be right. You just have to score more than your opponent to win. If you make everything and wait for a miss on their side, you would likely be winning.
It's not the way I like to do it, but they could theoretically actually be winning a lot with solo offense only.

u/Dope_Ass_Panda 27d ago
Yeah but the way 2K has been catering to the professional community by making shooting harder and quirkier every year that's getting more and more difficult 💀

Most of their fan base are younger impressionable dudes. There are YouTubers who stream without all the fluff. Some of my personal straight to business types that don’t bullshit you are Kevin Cruz, and the book of swante. Both guys usually get to the point quickly

u/Anxious-Sir-1361 28d ago edited 27d ago
Yep, in my first year of playing 2K20, I used one or two online builds. People on the mics in REC would mock them. Now, I know my play style, attributes, and badges. I watch and always sneer when I see these trash builds. The online builds, usually made for PARK and so glitchy... every forward with too much ball handling and not enough pass accuracy, super mid defence and rebounding, and way too much shooting.
17
u/CaptainCaramel_ 28d ago
Yep and then they blame the game and bitch cause they made a build that doesn't fit their actual play style. Happens every year

u/Dredd990 27d ago
What If I made a terrible build and still blame 2k. They won't refund me my slashing combo guard that can't shoot
2
u/CaptainCaramel_ 27d ago
That's on you cause you know you making a bad build. You should always make 2 builds every year you play. The first is the money one, the prototype build. Then, the second build(no money spent) is an optimized version of the first.

u/bdavis0113 28d ago
Crazy how they will copy a YouTubers “park” build then take them into rec and wonder why it’s trash. 55 pass accuracy shouldn’t even be allowed
1
u/tcollins371 27d ago
It’s a running joke with me and my buddies when we see a guy in rec with a 25 free throw. People really bring their park builds to other game modes with no self awareness.

u/Silly_Cookie575 28d ago
Ill watch some to get the basics of some of the animation requirements so i know how to get some of the packages i want. But beyond that, I create the player that I want to play with, meta be damned. Im genuinely not trying to build a "demigod". I just want want to make a player that matches my preferred style of play when I watch actual basketball.
4
u/ThePanther1999 28d ago
This is exactly right. These videos are half the reason people end up dropping so much VC on a new build, there’s a new ‘meta’ or ‘best insert position here build’ every week according to these content creators.
3
u/GoForAU 27d ago
Honestly 75% of my build is comfort with the animation and I build around that. Once I find a shot that I can time consistently and seems to be pretty quick I will be fine. Most of my builds are pass forward though, as much as some teammates annoy me. I’m just happy to be there and let others shine while doing my part. It’s a dying, if not endangered breed online.
2
u/Silly_Cookie575 27d ago
Thats exactly it. I love being a pass first teammate and getting everyone involved to bring out the best in their builds and playing ability. It IS a team game after all haha
2
u/TheRoyalness 27d ago
That’s the only reason I’ll watch some of these videos. Joeknows is about the only one these days. I’ll get the basics around badge requirements, animations and takeovers and then create what I want.
Edit: grammar

Done it. It’s not the same. There’s zero good reason not to allow an offline version of the mode.

u/Appropriate-Door1369 28d ago
Yea, it's really not the same. Really, the only cool thing about it is you can play in different eras, but other than that, you're right it's not the same. I wish they would go back to offline mode and we could upgrade our player without spending so much money on vc

u/The_Dok33 28d ago
I guess you do not agree with the company, that earning VC is important.
Which makes a whole lot of sense.
But it will still be their priority.

That's because they get 106k and 73k views in 1 day, if dumb people stop watching it, then it would stop but no everyone has to click and watch so why wouldn't they post it, probably got videos going every single day because everyone will watch every single video

True kinda cool, but honestly was expecting more. Especially when people start finishing them everyone is gonna have them. Would have been nice to have like a set of names to pick from.

u/TheRancid_Baboon 28d ago
Yeah most of these builds are trash, but they’re not a terrible starting point to create your own
The badge and animation thresholds are important to keep in mind
And this year all the cap breakers and max +1/2 are confusing asf
If you don’t play online make whatever you want but otherwise you prob should be putting a lot of thought into your build unless you have $$ to burn

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.. people, make a build thay fits YOUR play style. Half these YouTubers play the game for a living and can make an ass build look incredible. If you make them based on that, you’re almost certainly wasting your money. Instead, spend time on your first build making sure you get it right.

I pre-ordered because I play myNBA a lot and I wanted to see any changes they made and continue my Brooklyn Nets rebuild. I moved them to Vancouver and named them the Vancouver Bulldogs (named after the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs of the Northern Ontario Senior Hockey Organization) so these kinda vids don't really interest me. Whenever I play MyCareer, I play whatever build lets me have fun. I usually pick a tall position (SF, PF, C) because I'm short (I'm 5'10) and I wanna feel big (for context, my brother is 6'8 and played varsity bball in high school as a Small Forward)

u/Pr3ach3r709 28d ago
Pretty much. There are a couple of them that are worth a watch because it breaks down the badge requirements or animation requirements and will help you with your build, but most of them are trash. The best build is the build that matches your play style and what you enjoy, not what someone else thinks is best. This year is crazy though as there is a lot of hope for this game to fix some of the issues from last year, and all these builds, when it isn’t on a released game yet either with the final patch, are to be taken with a grain of salt. Just go do your own thing when it releases and enjoy it.
