@rodsquad i run switch and been straight, he’s 6’7 so he can hold his own. Who are you running as your 2 guards? I haven’t found anyone over 6’9 that i can run. I’m running RJ, and Ceddy as my starting and bench SG’s
-
@sp1ash okay, his player model is small, and the biggest reason he’s ass to me is that he still freezes on off the dribble shots. I can’t have that especially on a PG, it makes it extremely hard to green when you don’t know if he’ll shoot a regular shot or delayed
I also don’t like his (L2) burst. The animation lasts a few seconds and it’s hard to time when to burst. I think Magic and Ben are much better, even tho they can’t shoot as well they provide much better defense and general playmaking
Another thing is no HOF pick dodger (which is huge, I notice he gets sucked into screens easier), and he only has the necessary defensive badges. No Rebound Chaser, OBP, Post Lockdown, or hustler.
-
It’s at that point of year if you’re under 6’7 I won’t be buying you unless your name is MJ
-
Starting - Ben and Giannis
Bench - Magic and Ben Wallace (yes I have one with extra HOFS, his size, shot, and defense are too good and no other alternatives in the AH)
I refuse to be mashed and bullied in the paint. No HOF pick dodger is noticeable to me
-
@ogxsuave yep exactly I have no one in my lineup under 6’7 precisely

I believe you. He’ll be fine against 90% of players. But that 10% that knows how to mash and bully smaller players/PGs is enough for me to not want to run anyone under 6’9 at the 1 or 2
-
@rodsquad ahhh ok yeah those 2 definitely are made for Switch. I still got my Big Ben, maybe I’ll move him back into my line up.

Man idk if it’s me but pick dodger seems like it doesn’t work for Shit this year. Even with that shit on hof people get pinned in screens like crazy. Last year we got good spin animations and even some swims, this year niggas hit a pick and collapse. Only player I’ve used who i feel like can maneuver through a pick properly is Jaylen brown.
-
@12th it really doesn’t work this year but I can kinda see the difference between HOF and gold
-
@rodsquad i guess PNR this year is so OP it’s just not gonna be as effective as it used to be. If anything needs a nerf, it’s PNR.
-
@rodsquad fair point. His player model doesn’t feel big to me either, maybe a little taller than a LaVine type (whereas Magic/Simmons, even Giddey feel huge), but switching matchups works for me here. Happy to put LaMelo on the opposing SG and RJ guarding ball
I’m not a huge ‘off the dribble’ shot guy unless I’m wide open, don’t actively look for leaners and fades etc. Mostly look for drives and kicks. LaMelo’s movement is good enough for me that I’m able to find shooters with quick releases (RJ, Mullin, KD etc) with ease. Also like variation with who I bring the ball up the court with (so one singular player doesn’t get tired doing a shit ton of dribble moves), hence why I need my 1-4 to have quick/shifty at this point in the game
Re: pick dodger - dodging picks is such a randomised thing for me between any player that I don’t notice the difference between no PD and HOF PD (on current gen, at least). IMO the biggest flaw in the game. So with that said, each player is just as bad at dodging picks at any given time
-
@sp1ash I feel you. He’s not for me, I’m content with Magic and Ben
He’s a fun card tho. I’d run him if 2k didn’t drop these big PGs already
-
I need another OOP drop

The fact that shit came on nickelodeon is nuts lmao
-
RJ a bad bad boy. I'm trying him off the bench at the 2 next to Luka. He can run ball as a secondary and be Lukas bodyguard so that works for now.
-
@kobe6rings I was running Ben at the 1 and luka at the 2. I'm loving the rj so much but can't bump Ben or luka so I'm putting Ben at the 4 and kicking JO out of the lineup. been loving it
-
@risd Yeah next season has to be elite at this pace. I love that he can create and guard 1-4. These kind of meta cards usually cost a premium and he was basically a daily log in reward.
-
@12th it’s been pretty well documented by 2klab.
It’s more that brick wall is more effective at screening than pick dodger is at dodging.
-
-
@jdealla it’s weird because brick wall sucks ass off plays. It’s like the entire badge deactivates and their player can close out on you before the play even develops. But let someone set a screen with any card, it’s literally like a wall. It’s just piss poor programming once again by the hardest working company in gaming…
-
@12th I was playing some offline dom today getting some final agendas done, and decided to run some plays for Klay to get 3, and watched his gold defender (might have been gold fultz) just teleport through 2 HOF brick wall screens like they weren't even there, over and over again.
All year they haven't worked or not as well as years past.
And online it totally feels RNG. Card/badge/strength doesn't even matter, what matters is the CPU.

@mastralf what console are you on?
