I feel ya - rich man's Alec Burks over here 😂

I agree you should be able to make anything you want, but not for pro-am or park. I run a 6'6 inside SG. Am bad at post play, alright at rebounds, and my 3's are suspect. Technically, that makes me a role player. But, It's how you use the guy that matters. I use the rebounding I upped to crash hard when running the 2. I take only wide open or "Have to shoot" 3's and end up at 30 to 50% from the floor. I can still outsmart guys in the pist, I just have to be careful. So yeah, You can probably make harden, but he's probably going to suck defensively like he does in real life. You might be able to make Kyrie, but Kyrie isn't good at everything, he's good at a few things, average at others. Untill last year, Kawhi had a suspect jumpshot. LeBron is arguably the best player on the planet, and I'd hand him a 17 foot jumper all day because it's suspect. Even Micheal Jordan wasn't the best 3pt shooter. Everyone has a weakness. Weaknesses do not make you a role player. There's a difference

What he's asking is will we be able to make someone that's an actual superstar in a few areas, and have weaknesses in one or two areas. In 2k16, really nobody's player was a real superstar. You had to be a midget to have great shooting stats, and if you had any sort of decent height, your offensive stats were no better than some above average player.

people actually play my park? I've tried a couple of times and all I saw were people standing or running around with open slots on courts. I didn't understand while there were open slots but nobody would play

If you're talking about Sunset, it's mainly because a lot of Park players seem to be afraid of the 4v4 court (same as 5v5 in 2k14). People can give as many excuses as they want, but it boils down to the fact that they can't maneuver as freely and superspam like they can on 2v2 and 3v3 courts, so they don't want to play on courts with more people.

At least, that's what I've seen.

And they don't like sharing the ball if that extra person

This. Love 4s. Good team ball kills in 4s. The people that get rotation and spacing become untouchable because they know what holes to exploit. Also, 50% of my putback dunks are 4s or pro am. Nothing feels better than soaring through a crowd and punching that thing back through the rim.

So hard to get a game though.

Cheesers are terrified of the 4s.

I'm curious as to why they didn't show weight. It's clearly there in the trailer on the task/menu bar at the top but they only showed wingspan and height.

My thinking.

1. Weight can change body shapes, as we've been asking and they want to keep that quiet for revealing in a dev diary late next week.

2. It's the exact same as every year and they can't be bothered with the backlash.
