How many of you are using a defensive Archetype?

[NARFALICIOUS]

Please vote to indicate if you use a defensive Archetype or an Offensive Archetype. I'm getting the feeling that most people are staying away from the defensive ones this year due to limitations.


I always preferred defense over offense, mainly for MyCareer but I also play Park quite a bit...Hoping to prove that defense can still be effective...
I have a 6'5 PG and a 7'3 C.

I started with post scoring PF, but I missed getting emphatic blocks routinely so I made a 6'9" SF lockdown.

I CANNOT USE MY DEFENSIVE ARCHETYPE WITHOUT

DEFENSIVE ANCHOR AND DEFENSIVE STOPPER

TELL US HOW TO GET THESE BADGES.

-32 badges, HOF rim protect + bruiser + 400 blocks + 600 good shot contests

...

those two badges are the entire reason to have the player and nobody has them.

But don't worry. The devs on twitter have time to tell somebody that there's no volume shooter.

Does Glass Cleaner count as defensive?

Not that it matters. I'm not putting one more second into that mode until free-throw upgrades are permanent.

If I want story, I'll just watch Chris Smoove.

My 7'2 Paint Protector is killing it!!

me I made a lockdown defender to base off my real self.

I only met 1 other person like me in the park lol

Defensive Stopper badge appears to be a mystery right now. I haven't found anything online yet about obtaining this badge. And you're right; it is a bit frustrating because that badge is THE reason to make a lockdown defender this year.

Glass Cleaner is a defensive archetype as well.

My first is post scorer; I may make a second guy and will probably do a wing defender. I want to make a lot of guys, but I dunno if I'll even complete a first guy. MC is super grindy haha. It's harder for me to play when I know people are playing on rookie and getting better gains, but I have to play on HoF or it's boring.

I still think Glass Cleaner is just better than Paint Protector because of the way 2k works (you don't need a great rating to smash people's shots or get steals, which mostly would be pass steals, imo.) The box out strength and animation does matter, as does finishing ratings.

I would ideally make a PF Glass cleaner as well, but again, already burning out.

Edit: and I am a defensive player, always, I just think LDD is too weak to pick as a main guy.
