Community MyPlayer playstyles thread

[MrBallaBoy21]

The purpose of this thread is to have a space to share our collective ideas of MyPlayer playstyles that we want in the game. If we start collecting ideas early, and keep this thread civil, some of our suggestions might be in the next installment of the game.

*UNTIL 2K ANNOUNCES THAT THEY ARE SEPARATING OFFLINE AND ONLINE MYPLAYERS I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT EACH SIDE TAKES SOME CONSIDERATION FOR THE OTHER BEFORE BRINGING THEIR SUGGESTIONS*

Remember that this is an attempt to BALANCE the game while at the same time, giving everyone an opportunity to play with the type of player they want. Really think your playstyles through. Make them as detailed as possible.

Use this as an example:

Spoiler

Position: Center

Playstyle: Bruising Rebounder- A big, bruising big man that is a terror on both sides of the glass.

*Limit playstyles to 2 specializations. Use real life examples. Remember, we are going for balance and realism*

Real life examples: Andre Drummond(provide a video if you feel the need to, like for players that a lot of people might not know about)

Height restrictions: 6'9-6'11(willing to listen to examples of taller bigmen that played a similar style)

Weight restrictions: 280 lbs minimum

Speed restrictions: 65 max speed/acceleration

Strength restrictions: 99 max strength

Rebound rating restrictions: 99 off rebound max, 99 def rebound max, 99 boxout max, 99 hustle rating max

Defensive ratings restrictions: 85 low post defense max, 80 block/shot contest max, 80 helpside defense max, 75 pick and roll IQ max, 70 steal/passing lanes max, 50 on ball defense/lateral quickness max

Shot ratings restrictions: 75 close shot max, 65 mid range shot max, 75 FT max, 25 3pt max, 65 layup max

Dunk restrictions: 85 standing dunk max, 75 driving dunk max, 70 contact dunk max, 70 vertical max

Low post offense restrictions:85 standing layup max, 75 post control max, 80 post hook max, 65 post fade max

Ballhandling restrictions: 30 ballhandling max

Passing ratings restrictions: 50 passing IQ/accuracy max

*PLEASE BE AS STRICT AS POSSIBLE WITH BADGES. BADGES ALONE CAN MAKE A MYPLAYER OVERPOWERED SO REALLY THINK THIS THROUGH!*

Badge restrictions:

Gold: Offensive crasher, Defensive crasher, Hustle points, Scrapper, Bruiser, Brick wall

Silver: Low post defender, Eraser, Post hook specialist, Posterizer, Lob city finisher

Bronze: Drop stepper, Post spin, Interceptor, Pick pocket, Chase down specialist, Post hoperator, Dream like up and under, Break starter, Bank shot badge

Other: Spark plug, Enforcer, Beta dog, Hardened, Swagger

*If a badge isn't on the list then that means you don't want it on the player. This will prevent things like 6'2 PGs having the Brick Wall badge and bigmen from having ball handling badges.*

Feedback on other peoples' playstyles is encouraged, but please BE RESPECTFUL. This is an opportunity for us to improve the game.

I will save a space for good playstyles in the next post so all of them are easy to see.

First off, this is a good idea for a thread and also hopefully for 2k17 they go back to individual attributes instead of the bucket system.

Position: Shooting Guard

Playstyle: Sharpshooter

Real life examples: Reggie Miller

Height restrictions: 6'6" - 6'8"

Weight restrictions: 185 lbs - 200 lbs

Speed restrictions: 80 max speed/acceleration

Strength restrictions: 45 max strength

Offensive rating restrictions:
70 standing layup max
75 driving layup max
55 post fadeaway max
30 post hook max
45 post control max
99 draw foul max
83 moving shot close max
84 standing shot close max
88 moving shot mid-range max
87 standing shot mid-range max
94 moving shot three max
95 standing shot three max
93 free throw max
75 ball control max
80 passing vision max
70 passing IQ max
70 passing accuracy max
40 offensive rebounding max
35 standing dunk max
35 driving dunk max
35 contact dunk max
99 shot IQ max
98 hands max

Defensive ratings restrictions:
40 defensive rebound max
40 block max
70 shot contest max
70 steal max
80 on-ball defense IQ max
35 low post defense IQ max
80 reaction time max

Athleticism ratings restrictions:
40 boxout max
80 lateral quickness max
80 speed max
80 acceleration max
75 vertical max
45 strength max
95 stamina max
80 hustle max

Badge restrictions:

Gold: Gym Rat, Deadeye, Corner Specialist, Microwave, Unfazed

Bronze: Pick Dodger

Other: Alpha Dog, Road Dog, Prime Time, Cool and Collected, Closer, Fierce Competitor, Spark Plug, Swagger, Mind Games, Heart and Soul, Hardened, All-Time Great, Legendary Work Ethic, Keep It Real, Expressive

I'll probably come back and tweak this, but this yields an 88 overall if all max attributes are achieved.

Even though gold limitless range can be a bit OP, I wouldn't mind it if it was on your sharpshooting SG.

Get rid of the bucket system, I'm actually surprised they have it since they'd make more money without it. It leads to less individuality in players in the long run, there are more player types in the NBA than "Balanced, Inside, Outside" where does a Tony Allen or prime Ak47 fall into using those definitions?


Enough of the gigantic centers too, everyone has some 7'3" 350lbs ogre that touches the top of the backboard on blocks. There's only 1 guy in the NBA that's 7'3" and he's 220lbs, if you're going to keep these enormous centers then they should be severely capped athletically, sub 50 speed, 40 lateral quickness, almost non-existent vert (Think Zydrunas Illgauskas who was 7'3").


I'll add a player type a little later.

I've been thinking a lot about this style of player too, and while I don't have an issue with SFs being able to handle the ball I've been wondering if it would be more beneficial for player diversity to put SF slashers with PG skills in another category of player entirely.

Like a Point Forward role.

Let the athletic slashers have 99 driving layup, 99 dunk, high contact dunk, speed, vertical, and the shooting ratings you've got, but decrease their ball handling to 75 and limit their ball handling badges to bronze. Instead, they can have silver defensive badges like interceptor, pick pocket, perimeter lockdown, etc.

That way, we can make the Point Forward roll. Let them have 85 ball handling/passing ratings and silver ballhandling and passing badges(floor general included) at the cost of not having the same athleticism and speed of the athletic slasher roll(I'm thinking base athleticism maxes around 75). I think I'd even be willing to give those types of SFs 70-75 3 ball but no limitless range, deadeye, corner specialist, etc.

Other than that I agree with your SF's attributes.
