I think I can get my middy to a 92 lol
timber chasm
yeah but he doesn’t wanna learn
hybrid tusk
I remember when I was 6’2 In 20
subtle bolt
i went 84/93 on my first build
tribal eagle
i went 84/93 on my first build
thats not bad but the mid is probably a bit much
subtle bolt
and just cap breaker to 95 wit hshooting specilization
subtle bolt
thats not bad but the mid is probably a bit much
it's the minimum for 93
timber chasm
I need help with my cap breakers
tribal eagle
I need help with my cap breakers
do u have them
timber chasm
do u have them
I got 2 ima show u my build
tribal eagle
u can send sc and I can try to give some advice
timber chasm
in a sec
tribal eagle
K
subtle bolt
i kinda messed up going 96 three ball tho
timber chasm
lemme hop on the game
subtle bolt
should've stayed at 95
tribal eagle
I think Ima do a 6'9 with high mid 83 3 and do some cb shenganigans since I got 6
hybrid tusk
should've stayed at 95
What do you get with 95?
tribal eagle
I'm almost at 7 from season level
I'm hella surprised I got the 100 lifetime challenges tbh
timber chasm
tribal eagle
show cb screen
subtle bolt
What do you get with 95?
deadeye and shifty i think
subtle bolt
Hof?
yeah, or set shot i honestly dont remember i just remember it's 2 badges at 95
and 2 badges at 96
tribal eagle
i can trll you ahead of time that 76 pass acc is nice for silver visionary but 70 is probably fine
timber chasm
show cb screen
1 sec its sending
subtle bolt
basically by adding a 3rd cap breaker to 96 i made my max+2 useless
tribal eagle
That would also be smart to put up
tribal eagle
basically by adding a 3rd cap breaker to 96 i made my max+2 useless
its ok i went shooting specialization and i have only 1 cb spot for 3
lol
tribal eagle
This is kinda hard cause most stats only go up 1
timber chasm
put it all in one spot maybe
timber chasm
This is kinda hard cause most stats only go up 1
yeah
tribal eagle
I don't think perim really gives u anything at 83
The agil up for better motion styles
subtle bolt
its ok i went shooting specialization and i have only 1 cb spot for 3
yeah that type of stuff usually happens with first builds
live and ya learn
timber chasm
I don't think perim really gives u anything at 83
silver challenger and something
tribal eagle
71 pass acc gives u a bdge
timber chasm
pick dodger
ionic stump
lmao what is that
tribal eagle
pick dodger
That's not a bad option cause 85 perim gives u badges too
ionic stump
why are your cap breakers so bad
timber chasm
71 pass acc gives u a bdge
silver dimer
tribal eagle
why are your cap breakers so bad
build is a bit too balanced
subtle bolt
silver challenger and something
thats' 82 per d, 83 gives you pick dodger depending on your speed or agility
cant remember which one it is
tribal eagle
cause i have 81 agil on my 6'4 normally and i got 85 from 2 cbs
tribal eagle
and its golden
ionic stump
build is a bit too balanced
my build is similar except without the ball handle and my cap breakers are much better
timber chasm
That's not a bad option cause 85 perim gives u badges too
yeah I could do that
timber chasm
my build is similar except without the ball handle and my cap breakers are much ...
what’s ur ball handle
timber chasm
85 perim should give badges btw
lemme see
tribal eagle
same with agil comparison
for pick dodger
although ngl i think pick dodger is so bad rn
i got gold and i swear I eat screens for breakfast lunch and dinner
ionic stump
what’s ur ball handle
80, but then I have 88 speed and 87 agility instead
tribal eagle
Broooo ur strength
I just realized brooo
Noooooooo
U never bumping sh and u dont get strong handle 💔💔💔
subtle bolt
yeah i went 74 str on my 6'4
tribal eagle
I got 73

u got same strength

in 2k26? A game that's dominated by 7'4s?
Stop, please...
Go get help.
Ok hold on
ionic stump
u got same strength
im not 6’8 lol
tribal eagle
Cause 6'8 arguably the best height in the game 😭
subtle bolt
Ngl I got ts +2'd to gold on my 6'4
i +1 to silver but ill probably do +2 once i get my max+1s from crew
tribal eagle
The 7'4 good for shooting over but
timber chasm
im not 6’8 lol
I thought u said we got almost the same
tribal eagle
They arent that good with the correct matchup
6'8s tho
They are literally running the PG position
so hard
ionic stump

well the cap breaker screen I can’t see what your build actually is
timber chasm

I been stoping 7’4s with 25 strength
timber chasm
well the cap breaker screen I can’t see what your build actually is
its fine
subtle bolt
I been stoping 7’4s with 25 strength
thats because most 7'4s aren't going anywhere near the paint
i saw one that had a 98 dunk in solo rec
tribal eagle
7'4s with the right matchup are fine now ngl
subtle bolt
bro was dunking literally everything
tribal eagle
The problem is I get a 6'10 guarding a 7'4 every rec game
subtle bolt
not even exaggerating, everytime he touched the ball it was a dunk lol it was so dumb
timber chasm
thats because most 7'4s aren't going anywhere near the paint
nah maybe the ones I played were ahh but I even got blocks on them

I shoot 90% on 3’s in rec
tribal eagle
The mistake people make it the double of upgrading on shooting
You realistically should just go high mid or high 3
subtle bolt
The mistake people make it the double of upgrading on shooting
im saying lol
tribal eagle
Like 93 mid/83 3 is golden
ionic stump
i don’t…
subtle bolt
I shoot 90% on 3’s in rec
you couldve did that without cooking the build
tribal eagle
Or like 93/89 if u want silver limitless
subtle bolt
could've had way more ball handling for example
ionic stump
could've had way more ball handling for example
well that’s what cap breakers are for
tribal eagle
i can tell u rn that 90% from 3 is probably achievable with like 75 3 in this game if im being honest
subtle bolt
well that’s what cap breakers are for
youre going to be capped at an 85 bh lol you won't even have silver ankle assassin without a max+1
mental token
6’6, 180lbs shooting guard
It's not bad, but I think it could be better if only 3pt or midrange was high, because you could've gotten more elsewhere. I would've liked to have gotten 86 ball handle and 86 speed with ball (if possible), as well as 85 perimeter D. Another thing that I think is underrated is 80 driving layup. I'm not sure about the cap breaker secrets on 6'6 builds, but there might've been something you could've tweaked to get there
timber chasm
well that’s what cap breakers are for
are u gonna spent 6 cap breakers for 86 ball handle ?
tribal eagle
are u gonna spent 6 cap breakers for 86 ball handle ?
Which u cant brw
Btw*
5 cb max per stat
timber chasm
5 cb max per stat
yeah
ionic stump
are u gonna spent 6 cap breakers for 86 ball handle ?
no I probably won’t spend any on cap breakers, I plan to get my driving dunk to max and then a bit more vertical and then start working on my perimeter
timber chasm
I forgot about that

tribal eagle

timber chasm
until I got them I remembered
mental token
I mean you can make a 6'8 SG and then sometimes you'll get put at PG if you have enough pass acc
tribal eagle
and i think 6'9 is a great height for defense I just have to figure out how I want to setup chit
mental token
but yeah 6'9 is a good height too
subtle bolt
i probably remade that 7'1 build like 12 times

the thing is, it's not hard to guard if if your team actually blitzes the screen

then it makes the game very frustrating

Random rec not fun at all <@146795813773770753>
personal preference. I think Random Rec is a crapshoot though. It is either a really fun game, or one of the worst experiences of your life, and it all depends on your teammates. If you have that one PG who never passes, or that one SG who shoots as soon as he touches the ball, or that one SF who can't guard his man, or that one PF who doesn't help get boards, or that one C who never helps up on the screens, then it's terrible. But when you get a team of randoms who all wanna play team based 5v5 basketball and do the right thing (only one person cutting at a time really, setting off ball screens, making the next pass to the open man ala 2014 Spurs, etc)

The frustration lies in the fact that if they literally just do what they’re supposed to do, we win. Like the simplest stuff.
I will watch dudes give up the same type of shot 5 times in a row like yo are you gonna adapt or what??? You got back cut 6 times in 2 minutes maybe you should give yourself a little gap?
Or not reaching out the play 8 times a possession.
But then when I say something, they cry.

The problem is that people are always looking for who's at fault in a game. Like not saying you are or are not at fault personally, but it's a team game. Theoretically, if you lose, it's on the team. The exception to this is when you legit have certain players who just do not play the game to win. The guard who just straight up walks the ball into the other team and turns it over from dribbling too much/chucking bad shots. The Center who never helps on the screen and just lets the defending guard get abused by the screen while the other team's guard gets to shoot wide open 3s all game. The PF who's too busy cherry picking to help the big rebound, so the other team gets offensive rebounds with ease. The wing who just leaves his man wide open for 3 all game. These are not plays meant to win the game.

as long as your man doesn't come in and get a putback dunk because no one boxed him out, I'm fine with that. My problem is people not boxing out, even at the 3pt line. If I'm on my PG, and I see a shot go up, I'm boxing out first, THEN running the break

What the darn-diddily-doodily did you just say about me, you little witcharooney? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at Springfield Bible College, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret mission trips in Capital City, and I have over 300 confirmed baptisms. I am trained in the Old Testament and I’m the top converter in the entire church mission group. You are nothing to me but just another heathen. I will cast your sins out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in Heaven, mark my diddily-iddilly words. You think you can get away with saying that blasphemy to me over the Internet? Think again, friendarino. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of evangelists across Springfield and your IP is being traced by God right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggorino. The storm that wipes out the diddily little thing you call your life of sin. You’re going to Church, kiddily-widdily. Jesus can be anywhere, anytime, and he can turn you to the Gospel in over infinity ways, and that’s just with his bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in preaching to nonbelievers, but I have access to the entire dang- diddily Bible collection of the Springfield Bible College and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your sins away off the face of the continent, you diddily-doo satan-worshipper. If only you could have known what holy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you from the Heavens, maybe you would have held your darn-diddily-fundgearoo tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re clean of all your sins, you widdillo-skiddily neighborino. I will sing hymns of praise all over you and you will drown in the love of Christ. You’re farn-foodily- flank-fiddily reborn, kiddo-diddily.

But as a center that should be your main focus unless you have a shooter but timing is key. They have poor timing and judgement. So they complain.
“Y’all want me to guard the paint or my man which one”
Brother use your damn INSTINCTS 😂😂😂
mental token
also people gotta stay back for the rebounder to have another option to throw the ball to. Not every Center has 87 pass acc (though most should) to throw breaks constantly, and sometimes you play against teams who are really good at playing the lanes on the break. You've gotta give the rebounder an alternative person to pass to.

Yeah bro the icing happens so frequently in this game too

If there's a guy on my team who's wide open in the corner, unless he's literally 0/6 (or I just was stuck in an animation and couldn't), I'm passing to him every single time

You're not lying lmao
Too many people are concerned with their stats until it comes to their defensive stats
Like hmmm your man is scoring 30 on your head every other game because you either can't keep up with him, never jump to contest, or just straight up didn't put enough perim D on your build
But you wanna tell me you deserve to shoot the most shots on the team?
Which would be one thing if that was your role and you were good at giving him 30 too but
Most of the time, the guys who can score 30 on good efficiency are not the guys getting 30 dropped on their head every other game

half of the time i think the people playing are just blind
countless times my team will score and their man will already be up the court, in the corner chilling, smoking a cigarette
like why are you not back on defense already?
what could you possibly be doing? i can understand if you were the one that scored, but it'll be a dude that's sitting on the wing chilling, somehow the last person back on defense
mental token
The problem is again, people who never played basketball don't understand the basic fundamentals. As soon as the shot goes up, whoever is on the wings/top of the key should be getting back. At least 2 people should be sprinting back immediately, but 3 people in most cases. The only time when I'd argue for 2 instead of 3 is if your man isn't boxing you out and it looks like you can get an easy putback, then go for it. But typically, one of the bigs is going for the offensive rebound, and someone is staying out on the perimeter to get a shot off if the defender left to go cherry pick. Those other 3 should be getting back immediately. And sometimes you need to guard someone else's man, just briefly, or at least get in the passing lane, so that someone else can get back. Because lets say you ARE the dude who scored. If I went in and got a dunk, and my man immediately started running back, I can't be all the way down there. So SOMEONE else on the team needs to guard him while I get back down the floor. Because there's a man inbounding, and a man catching the inbound, so at MOST they have 3 people down the floor, unless the inbounder is throwing a full court pass, in which case it should be a steal if anyone is paying attention. WHICH AGAIN, goes back to being in the passing lane at the very least

Half the time, people will be sitting down there on the defensive end twiddling their thumbs waiting for their man to get down the floor when someone else (who may not be their man) is wide open.

it's like handing the controller to a toddler

i gotta start clipping our games and looking at what he be doing because it really is crazy, ill turn around and his guy got 26 at half
mental token
at least he goes for steals, I've got a buddy, last year he had a build with 99 steal, lanes were BROKEN last year right? He didn't even average 1 spg. He would reach at the worst times thinking it would bail him out, and he would never even go for the lane steals.
