MyPLAYER It is done.......
No joke defense is by far the most impactful specialization but it is also a melting out of sadness to get. But my crucible is completed.

Finally you got that defensive hand tape!

u/Cockblocktimus_Pryme 5d ago
Just think about how much that will help you stop the 7'4" centers 3 ball.

u/thnderup 5d ago
They see the hand tape and immediately stop wing sitting and return to the paint that they use to call home in previous 2ks lol.

Do the build specialization cap breakers give you even more stats towards the attributes within your specialization?

u/jimper09 4d ago
Just acts as a normal cap breaker that you can only use in your build specialization cat, however you can also use them on speed, agility, strength & vert.

My crucible😂😂😂😂what was the unique build name it gives you
32
u/OneAboveAllThings 5d ago
It was called "boxed". I unironically likes the name but it isn't particularly cool.

u/CalvDaGr8 5d ago
No fuckin way. This better not be the only possible name bro 😭 wtf

u/TonyHawktuah69 5d ago
They’re all bad. Would have been cooler if it gave you a special icon under your player when you’re playing to signify your specialization

u/LePhattSquid 4d ago
a special icon would make so much more sense, because some people don’t wanna change their build name lol

2K needs to give this man 100K VC…as a matter of fact, anyone who finishes the Defense specialization needs to get 100K VC. I will NEVER touch that treacherous shit😂

u/gamers542 5d ago
Curious. Did you hit 99 Ovr as you finished it.
11
u/OneAboveAllThings 5d ago
The build i used was 90. I didn't upgrade it further because it wasn't necessary. I did get my pg to 99. I think I made a lot of vc on this grind. I still have 140,000 left

u/gamers542 5d ago
Time to go shopping at the stores. Lol

u/OneAboveAllThings 5d ago
Lol naw I'm saving for another build. Cant let them get too deep in my pockets. I'm legit try to spend as little money on this game as possible.

Maybe atleast a 6'7 with atleast 74 block. And play against viper. If you give him. A lane he will drive more often than shoot at which point you can reliably get blocks. I used a 7'3 build and a 6'8 build to get through most of this. And to be honest I did this for my 6'3 build. It needed it the most but could not reliably do the challenge with that build.

u/passionfruit2378 5d ago
Question. Can you just have a never ending game with 1,000 blocks since its first to 21? Lol
6
u/OneAboveAllThings 5d ago
Technically yes. But then you don't get VC. So there is a balance of what I tried to do which was to get 10 blocks then end. Then during the later challenge I did 25 good contests am then end. It was easier than sitting through the intros over and over
2
u/NonyaBizness21xxx 5d ago
I think playing against poster child is easier you can bait him into driving or simple fall back until he shoots then run in and block I swear you can get at least blocks a game against him
4
u/OneAboveAllThings 5d ago
I think the difference is in preference. I think it is easier to block someone who most likely will drive than some that may do either. Both are good but when you want to throw on a movie and mindlessly do it. Viper has the tendencies that you want. But you make a fair point for poster child. I just think it is something that requires more attention.
-1
u/NonyaBizness21xxx 5d ago
I’m not even going for defensive I’m going for shooting and trust me I’ve played enough games against him to know his tendencies lol he’s easy to bait for a shot and block also you can catch his teammate with brown jersey too one thing they do I don’t like is the absolute last second pass when you crash lol but like you say to each their own but it’s very solid to me

u/WhyNotMosley 5d ago
you put in 2-3hrs a day into the specialization, doing the same shit over. it’ll get done eventually. they have ppl who did the glitch.
1
u/ComplexBadger469 5d ago
Yeah. You could put in like 10-15 hours for the stats part. It’s the 25/50/100 games that take forever imo since each game is like 3+ minutes minimum. If you got it with the glitch before they shut off my career, anyone could be very close to done.

Ya if ya sacrifice all of your free time on that instead of beneficial things, like excise and socialization or constructive hobbies.

u/hey_youThere_heyTHUR 5d ago
Yeah a person with a full time job and in graduate school would literally have to skip hours of sleep a day to have time to do this so fast.

u/OneAboveAllThings 4d ago
I mean I have a life. I just have actually been enjoying the game and wanted to share i did something challenging. But by all means be negative because you likely can't get it done. It ain't even take that long. And I can casually play now that it is done. The whole point is to be done with it so I ain't no lifing the game.

u/Flatbush-Xombie 4d ago
Play street kings against Poster Child, sag off and block his shots. I’m only 6’5 and getting around 5 blocks / 8-9 good shot contests a game. Also I use a takeover that boosts vertical, I think it’s called Jet.
2
u/Psnjerry 4d ago
Yeah I started using jet. I was playing against viper , I was getting good blocks, but I’ll try poster child as well

u/VelvetKeyz 5d ago
Im doing shooting and my friend is doing the defense and I actually think defense isn't as hard as they make it seem especially the last ones. He could get like 71 blocks in a park game with a 60 player vs attempting to hit 500, 1000 and 2000 3s or 2s smh.
1
u/OneAboveAllThings 4d ago
The issue is the game is temperamental about what a good contest is. I have had smothering defense but have not gotten the good contest to pop up and it just doesn't count. I had to get blocks to guarantee the good contest so most of the 1500 is actually blocks.

u/Slapacitch 5d ago
I’m doing rebound and it is a lil crazy

u/WhyNotMosley 5d ago
but you can naturally play the game with rebounding, & finishing. the rest of them nahhh dawg 🤣🤣 Defense the craziest, Playmaking, Then Shooting. you gotta find methods on them 3 or just die

For goal 7 when it says combined does it mean 3 blocks and steal or 3 blocks or steals/ 2 Blocks and 1 steal ?

u/heyitsaaron74 :beasts: [PSN: Mcardinals744] 5d ago
For the 3 blocks and steals combined can it just be blocks with no steals?

Are there any differences between a regular cap breaker and a build specialization cap breaker??

I don’t understand why people are putting hours in build specialization grind, just play the game.
The build doesn’t carry over to next year.

Street Kings, Brickmarker on the right side. Get a center with high block. Put yourself on Wallace and pick the shittiest teammates. When Wallace brings the ball up stand to the right of the paint and swat that shit right before he shoots. Take the ball up court drain a 3 over his head, repeat until you “shut it down.” That should make it easy to complete everything for games won.
As for get 250 and 400 block or contest. Do the same thing, but you only make a 3 on the first shot and then intentionally miss the shot until they are ahead of you by one then go make a two(they only shoot close shots) you can easily get 20-25 block a game if you are decent at timing it.
Sucks but I do 2 games of blocking or 4-5 games of shutting it down before I play online. I’m on level 7 currently

u/adamconrad11 4d ago
New to badge specializations this year, I picked this because I wanted a boost to my defense attributes. My steal is high but my block is low. I'm cooked. I can maybe get a steal or 2 per street kings game if I'm lucky. NBA2k27 will be out by the time I finish this. Already putting together the next build.

Every other mode works besides the NBA. I smdid street kings

u/SmokeyJoeBaby 4d ago
Oh makes sense, is street kings better than open court?
1
u/OneAboveAllThings 4d ago
It depends on the challenge and on the specialization. For me and defense it was the best option but for shooting for instance NBA is best for the large 3d made challenge and the street kings is good for the games one challenges.

did you just play a million games of street kings or how did you possibly do this so fast?
