Have you figured out 2K yet? Still upset about the defense? Well, get over it because 2K ain’t changing.
Today, I want to focus in on builds and how effective they are as a lot has changed from last year. Making a build might be the most difficult and stressful thing to do as a 2K head because if you’ve made the wrong build I bet you’ve already started making a second or even third. Everyone wants to compete and go with what’s most effective to hang with the rest of the 2k world.
These five builds are the most effective thus far:
#5 Pure Shot Creator
I’m not one to go crazy over pure builds in general, but this archetype is killing it this year. Almost everywhere I go the pure shot creator is more relevant than ever and particularly a 6’5″ Shooting Guard probably 10-12 lbs over the minimum weight. It’s not the HOF Badges that make this build, it’s the silver badges. With multiple shooting badges y’all can do just about anything on the court with the fadeaway and dribble pull-up looking smooth. Better hope 2K doesn’t patch this!
#4 Pure Glass Cleaner
Look, I don’t know what it is, but if you don’t have a glass cleaner on your team, then the game becomes more difficult. It’s hard to be an undersized power forward trying to compete with seven footers who literally grab EVERYTHING, and now with takeover, it’s nearly impossible to get a board.
By the time you jump with these builds, they’ve already had the ball and put it back up. When considering making this build take into consideration that offense will not be your strong suit and be ready to just be a big body on defense, box out, and grab rebounds. This build is very effective, but don’t feel special when someone hits you up to run. They just need a rebounder, fam.
#3 Playmaking Sharpshooter
Forget what 2K said about shooting not being a thing. Playmaking Sharps are a PROBLEM and can hit from just about anywhere on the perimeter with most of their threes coming in transition. With Elite dribbles and playmaking in their build, it’s a scary thing to see in action.
#2 Slashing Defender
Talk about a cheat code! I mean these builds will steal your lunch money, then dunk on your children. It’s very difficult to get by them in transition, and if you’re taking the ball to the hoop just expect to be stripped. I don’t how many times I’ve heard controllers hit walls and derogatory language used toward 2K. Slashing Defenders are an underrated build. If handled right, you’ll be effective on the court. Every team needs a defender in their corner.
#1 Pure Sharp Shooter
These builds can shoot the air out of the ball if you know when to pull up and understand the timing of your jumper. Relying on transition offense and screens, shooters are a lethal target on the court. They’re a bit quicker than I anticipated, and the shorter they are the faster they become. It will create stress if your guarding one and create a sense of relief if you are one. If you haven’t found out already, 2K lied about the shooting, fam!
