OFFICIAL NBA 2K17 Thread | Available Now

scored 39 last night with my lockdown

the team we played won by 30 LOL

but they also recruited me


then, today, i got hit up by my old squad, they got a new center who is ridiculous....

we won 6 in a row, team is 25-0 right now.


the games would definitely be LAN or private server. There is literally no reason why they wouldnt have it.

i was told that the rosters would be 5 people, but i mean, i think, realistically, they would need AT LEAST 1 person to rotate in.

it would be dope if 2k dropped a mod specifically for this league which gave it 12 min quaters, HoF, with full 12 man rotations and subs...

even @ 5 people that means 160.

the goal is to be top 160

and honestly, out of that 160, how many have higher paying jobs, kids, are kids, or felonies, etc.?

chances looking nice LOL

really, i deleted the game and redownloaded everything has been butters since.

my cousin just did the same thing two days ago and said his has been butters too

try it...

if you have already..

*kanye shrug*
 
Still don't understand why I get matched up with the same damn team all the time in play now online. It's gotten to the point where I just take the L and leave. I don't see how this isn't a simple fix

This year I heard you can import a draft class in the middle of a MyLeague season..........it's not like previous games where you would have to delete your entire MyLeague file to start a new MyLeague with an imported draft class.

So I don't see anything wrong with ppl jumping into MyLeague right away this time around

Again, this is a great feature man
 
I have a **** ton of extra vc and wanted to make a new player for use mostly in pro am..

I currently have a center glass cleaner and a playmaker pg that I switch off with.

Right now my squad currently has a 6'7 slasher, pf stretch big, sf sharpshooter, pg sharpshooter, c athletic finisher, and a c paint protector.

What position and archetype should I make? I was thinking maybe a 6'10 SF point forward or a 6'8 or 6'10 SF lockdown defender. Not sure which is best? Any suggestions?

Judging by that team, you need a Playmaker, you guys have none, Dimer is very useful in Pro-AM, make a point foward or PG playmaker

And you guys have 3 shooters, thats a bit to much

My team has

PG- Playmaker
SG- Sharpshooter
SF- Slasher
PF- Glass Cleaner ( me )
C- Glass Cleaner or Athletic Finisher

We rarely lose, record is 36-9 so this line up has been working for my team.



Edit- never mind, i see you said you have a Playmakers.... you should just build him up and work on it

It amazes me how flawed this game is. With yet another patch released today it seems it's gotten even worse. I just had 4 offensive fouls in a game from my CPU teammates running over defenders for no reason.

Now it seems when you run pick and roll the big will roll to the paint then veer away from the hoop at the last second. The ******* hesitation when you catch the ball on a fastbreak or just change direction and it takes 10 seconds to take a step. Bigs with open lanes to the rim who stop short and chill at the 3 point line. The overlays that pop up over the shot meter as you try to shoot a free throw or the way the shot meter randomly stutters in the middle of a free throw. I've gotten pretty good at this game and I still can't get over how awkward and unresponsive the controls are. There are times I move the left stick and my player does not budge. Using the right stick for steals has like a 10% chance of actually attempting a steal. Rebounding? Forget it, it's a crapshoot and that's if you're player even leaves his feet. This game is trash from a structural standpoint. I still can't stop playing but damn this **** is garbage.

Anyone else been having problems since the last patch I am constantly getting kicked from MyPark games it says Waiting for Opponent then kicks me right as game is starting. ProAM was working fine too until patch now about 20% of the time I get a black screen and nothing happens. ******* 2k swear to gawd

I ain't even gonna lie, Lockdown defenders are my kryptonight.

I'll score but damn it be a struggle
Click to expand...

you may have misread

i scored 41 WITH a lockdown PF

hit 5 green threes in a row today

i been running with 5 lockdowns or 4 and a playmaker

it's been lulz, cause the other lockdowns can hit open threes too

so we look like a team of sharpshooters LOL

the other two guards (and the center) can all finish in traffic crazy, too

and when the offense becomes stagnant i start running point from the 4 or 3.

it's extra hilarious to see the other team's play style revert to that of sheer frustration

Click to expand...

waaaaaay too many shooters. (see below for why that's a problem)



this is my take on archetypes (and this is a gem)


first off, the taller and heavier you make a player, the slower they become. The shorter and lighter you make a player, the weaker (but quicker) they become..this isn't just movement speed...its ALL aspects of the game.....for example, i'm sure many people don't know longer arms make your dribble moves have longer strides and quicker animations....(i cant give ALL the gems)

[COLOR=#red]playmakers[/COLOR] - best raw attribute upgrades, worst badges. (super saturated due to on-ball speed and dunking/shooting attribute caps)

This is basically the default archetype. all-around. my second build was a 6'8" 189 lbs point forward. he was raw. (his hotspots were broken by a glitch so i made the lockdown)

but, getting placed at the 4 almost 75% of the time in pro am.....(and getting bullied) and the very ball-centric badges, i.e. you have to have the ball in your hands....plus the fact that I only picked the archetype for the attribute trees, not the dribble moves, (i dont even dribble) i was like "man, this build is worthless without the ball...and i never have the ball" (something to think about)

At top level, nobody stumbles from ankle breaker moves. if you have a team who can shoot, or a team with chemistry to move the ball around to open teammates, then dimer HELPS but it's not doing much for open, high-percentage shots anyway. Always smart to have a playmaker to fall back on if the offense is stagnant or your PG (of another build) is having turnover troubles.

can dunk, shoot, dribble and move with and without ball the fastest. defense, middle of the road. use this build for guards and athletic 2s 3s and 4s (you have to make him a SF, but you will be put at the 4 if hes 6'8" and up regularly)

an example (in my opinion) of a real life playmaker is lebron. the only way to make a guy that size have any resemblance of speed, this is the build. I saw a dude on twitter say he tried to make a ben simmons build at playmaker, but the speed goes waaaaay down as you increase height and weight, so it's kinda impossible. Another player i would consider a playmaker build is giannis. again, you can't recreate the height and speed, but the fact that all the other attributes can be increased makes for a more well-rounded, all-around player.

[COLOR=#red]shot creators[/COLOR] - takes the 2nd most skill to be successful with. great midrange offensive badges. (if im not mistaken they have ankle breaker, too) Tireless scoring is awesome, it actually gives you an increase in hit percentage when your stamina bar is flashing, not just negating the ill effects of the stamina bar flashing)

shot creators have decent standing shot. you should be able to green light threes and twos consistently. the fun comes in with all the "off dribble" shots....they aren't as fast on or off ball as playmakers, BUT, when you take into account ankle breaker with dribble moves (not that its gonna make people fall) you can make up for the lack of on and off ball speed. their jumpers max at 94 off dribble.....

real life examples are def james hardin, allen iverson, etc. basically dudes who cook people in iso.

this archetype is best with guards, imo, under 6'6". anything bigger and they are too slow to create their own shot. my cousin made a 6'10" shot creator day one and he played exactly like a slasher.....which leads to the next one...

[COLOR=#red]slasher/athletic finisher[/COLOR] - one of the more underrated archetypes imo. very straight forward. (personally, i would make a "ben simmons build" a slasher/athletic finisher with one man fast break HoF, i'm sure that 78 speed gets bumped to 85-ish. slashers are basically the only build who can't shoot lights out from deep. yes, there are slashers on the planet who can hit threes....but their three maxes out at like 45 or 50, which is going to be a 50/50 ball even if you shoot green lights consistently.

if you are interested in making a slasher, i suggest to make him short, long-armed and heavy. I used to run with a team that ran me, a lockdown PF, at the 2...and we had a slasher SF, 6'6" 245 playing PG.....when i say we abused guards, we played 4 out 5 in, and iso'd him with PG, typically no bigger than 6'4" 200 lbs, ITS BUCKETS ALL DAY....pumpfake, dunk....pumpfake, dunk....pumpfake, dunk.....

ill take this time to expand on strength for a second. weight and strength affect a lot about the game. once i got my strength up to 72....even my dunks are more vicious and violent. take this into consideration. if you run 2 guard as a slasher and your matchups are constantly 20-30 pounds lighter than them....BULLY THEM. it works.

think amar'e in his prime.....boogie....i thought about making a 7'2" 290 lbs young shaq athletic finisher, but i can't do that 60 speed lol



[COLOR=#red]glass cleaner[/COLOR] - self explanatory. people cried about them being OP, but, literally, all they can REALLY do is rebound....and they're too slow at 7' to do anything else....not a big fan of glass cleaners, obviously. people who get cooked by glass cleaners need to find new games.

before i got paint protector, defensive stopper and rim protector, they would rebound and go back up on me effortlessly....since? it's real quiet for GCs.....

deandre jordan is a glass cleaner build, he just breaks the mold with that vertical. most other glass cleaners are bummy IRL....imo....

i think a ben wallace glass cleaner maybe a problem, tho. never seen a shorter glass cleaner....

[COLOR=#red]post scorer[/COLOR]- another weird one (like glass cleaner) that feels like they only added it because it's a feature of basketball....

i've not run into any raw post scorers, nor do most playstyles even allow for one to be on the court.

problem with posting up in pro-am is that most teams like to run......it's a free flowing offense, and much harder to stop than an actual set offense.

people have hard enough times getting looks when they're standing wide open, by themselves

why would 4 people give you spacing for post moves to get 2 points, when they can literally dribble around a screen and hit your slasher cutting for that same 2 in 1/3rd the time?

real life examples? z bo al jefferson



last and very much least,

[COLOR=#red]sharpshooters[/COLOR]


by far the most over-saturated, lowest skill build 2k has.....

i'm super anti sharp shooters.....it was the first build i made. in 2k15, i could green light about 95% of mid range shots, guarded or not, good defense or not....never could hit threes consistent enough to even shoot them. First day on 2k17, im like "never again" so i make a 7' SS PF (someone on NT said they had a team already and needed a 4 no matter what)

so im playing park. with my jumper grinded to a measily 70....with catch and shoot ONLY.....i green lighted threes like...every time. Sounds great, right? no. First off, you have to rely on a teammate to give you that pass......second.....the SS was way too slow (58 speed max?) to even get back on defense...

so, yeah, i hit a three i had to stand in the corner 15 seconds to even get, BUT now you just got 2 of them back by literally running up court faster than me.

why in the world would you need a 95-98 jumpshot? how in the world do you ever MISS?

compound the fact that lockdown badges LITERALLY turn off grand, bronze, silver, gold and HoF badges LOL

dog, you have no idea how many sharpshooters match up on me, averaging like 20 points a game, who aren't even trying to shoot open shots by the 2nd quarter from all the airballs.

by far my most rewarding accomplishments in this game....

dudes who WANT to shoot but literally tap x when the ball is halfway coming over to them...

by the middle of the 3rd, i dont even have to really guard most stretches......cause they either not trying to shoot, or still bricking from the first half smothering...

real life sharpshooters? come on, fam.

(most sharpshootering stars in the league wouldn't even be considered a SS build)

kyle korver?




i know, like always, this was an extra long, extra OD post

but this is what i thought the post was gonna be about

helping each other off NT love

hope this helps people trying to tinker with builds.

(and this is the fast version LOL)

as far as using the stick for reaching.....it actually gives you MUCH less reaching fouls than pressing square does. you also have to position yourself on the ball handler's ball handling hand......(if you notice you can play front, left or right....you have to be on the side of the ball AND hit the stick AND they have to be dribbling into you)

all that other ****, i can't speak on, never even seen remote examples of the stuff you got in here.

Click to expand...

so here's the other thing; chemistry is more important than builds or overalls (imo)

yall have one archetype each, makes you more diverse.....BUT (and im speaking specifically to you, spec)

look at the difference changing your C to finisher from glass cleaner (yall prolly all good and eat, regardless, but, i know there's a stark difference)

i know dude still snags like the GC, but now, yams on 2-3 people with ease.....

yall should have definitely been toying with builds and sizes, for that matter. (not that it would have made the record any better or worse)

i have dudes who you would SWEAR were sharpshooters, but arent....people you would swear were slashers, but weren't

i'm much more about creating positional mismatches, rather than making sure we got a specialist of every type

when we run the 4 lockdowns, my dude's 6'9" SF lockdown becomes a 2 guard LOL.....we iso him in the paint on whatever munchkin he's having for lunch.

when i get matched up at the 4 against ANY archetype, i'm out. i'm taking off as soon as i see a defensive rebound. not too many 4s can keep up with 83 off ball speed. makes it even worse when its a stretch big, cause he's standing at the top of the key anyway lol, as soon as i get a hand up, i yell AIRBALL and take off down court LOL

you can't really do anything about either of those situations but make a switch, and even then, it makes another mismatch

more effective than any other archetype/combo/plays, etc.

and im saying this knowing yall are nice, and probably create those mismatches (im sure the SS doesnt play like a SS, etc)

and im rambling

(and this is for everyone)

but i just wanted to touch on the fact that teams shouldn't stress if they don't have a SS....or any ONE archetype....it's okay to have players who can be "fake" other archetypes....like how my lockdown PF is a fake playmaker, etc.
 
Officially retiring my MyTeam Online **** this game and ***** *** Ronnie2k 

i started off 5-1 in the Amethyst league. All i needed was to win 3 more games out of 6 games left. Didnt care for the Amethyst Token. I wanted the pack for going 7-5 or better which is 2nd best reward ( I should of known before i played since it was 2x XP weekend and it was free over the weekend)

Any way i start to play saturday 2nd quarter the games drops. Ok i take it on the chin im now 5-2, no big deal. 

Play another about few hours later guess what ? If you guessed the game dropped you are correct ! Now im at 5-3 alil heated but still can win games and still get my prize i want. I dont play nomore on saturday

Fast forward to Sunday morning i try a game, Guess what ? IF you guessed it dropped you're correct yet again ! wooooooo. So now im ******* furious lol 3 straight lag outs due to these TRASH ******* SERVERS. Record is 5-4 now joy 

I smoke a blunt relax a bit and eat some breakfast. 

I give MTO another try since i really wanna just get thru this damn league.

The whole games is literally PERFECT no LAG NOTHING TILL OT AT 6.2 Seconds after i score a go ahead 3 with PG13 83-82 Me. 

Its my turn to play defense and try to get this stop.... GUESS ******* WHAT ? IF you guessed lagged, You are CORRECT YET AGAIN ! wooooo. I didnt lag out just yet just wait on it. With 3.2 Seconds or 3.8 i forget i call TO to figure out what ima run for this GW. 

Well 2k decided to not even give me a god damn chance. During the Time Out can you guess what happened ? If you guessed LAGGED OUT you are correct ! 

Its now 84-83, I call TO and welp yea you get the point **** THIS TRASH *** GAME. Im done ill never play MTO again.. 

SO GLAD I NEVER PUT MONEY INTO MTO TO TRY AND HAVE BETTER CARDS, IF I DID ID BE AT THEIR HQs RIGHT NOW 

( 3pt with PG13 to take 1pt Lead )

( i tried calling TO since i seen lag coming and it fouled him, Re-Inbounds it and impossible for me to man up on Defense due to lag, he scores an Easy 2 )

( I call my final TO and boom i lag out) 

sorry for the long post doubt anyone reads it but had to get my rant off from over the weekend.. 

Once again **** THIS GAME AND ***** *** RONNIE2k

record is 5-5 now and ill never touch it again although i still have 2 games to go **** it

Just got my Lockdown G Badge its so much fun wrecking Sharps with this build and you're right you can hit so many shots it is crazy. People don't even bother to guard you and you hit more shots than the sharps usually they quit or just start jacking shots.

Nice ******* stats and thanks for all that info
