I already have a 6'8 LDD SF, but I made his wingspan the shortest for his shots. I didn't think the max wingspan increased anything, because I figured they would have showed the increase when you are making your player. Big mistake, because your shot only goes up a few points.

I will max this PFs wingspan out this time. I will probably make him the lightest weight, just like I did my SF. I guess I will need to focus more on raising my strength if I'm going to be smaller and not put anything to 3 pointers. Maybe max out shot off dribble to increase shot close. It sucks cuz I pretty much got all of the badges and 95 overall with my SF, but at least I know how to get them and the +1 practice attributes now.

It took me like 9 full days to do all of that with my SF, so I can grind 1 more time. I believe there are 25 upgrades in the mycareer that you can unlock because I filled the attribute meter 2 more times after the 25th upgrade, but there was no upgrade available to use. Yall probably know that already, but I wanted to mention it just in case. So what do yall think about the PF? Thanks in advance.
Think that's too short for a PF ? Are you taking him to the park / pro am? I recommend 6'9 at least. I think 6'7 is really good for a SF. But I'm sure you'll do fine either way. I agree on a defensive player max his wingspan .

Ridiculous. hold the button down for like 12 seconds and still get a Too Early? its really irking me cuz i was just saying that the layups were going in sometimes on SS/HOF so i was happy
Dang man . I hope this gets fixed asap. I did get a glitch in one pro am game where all my skips were automatically F grades with no shot meter even moving. It even affected my free throws. Hasn't happens to me since. Shame though

Probably more park than pro am. I will be using him more as a SF. I like the PF badges better. I know a 6'5 PF would be crazy fast, but idk how well that would work out for rebounds and battling in the post against someone bigger. Do you know what I should do with my shoulder width to increase my chances of blocks/rebounds?

Max shoulder width for max wingspan. I don't think you should go with the lowest weight if you want to guard bigger players though.

Max both of those . I like the PF badges better too. If you only plan on using him for park/pro am as a SF you should be fine. You can still guard 1-4. Why such a low weight though ?

You can go low weight on lockdowns, the speed you have makes up for the minimal loss in strength. My 200 pound lockdown has 75 strength and I can guard pretty much anyone I face at power forward, the key is you always have to be in good position on boxouts and defense.

I feel like at 6'5 you already get a huge speed advantage. Lowest weight and height with intentions of playing inside might be hard to make up for with pure IQ. I'm interested to see how he does though.
