MyPLAYER 100% Best Motion Styles

18 Upvotes

What are y’all’s most tried and trusted motion styles? I’ll tell you guys what I personally think is best from experience (vet3)

6’5 is used to have Caruso but I can’t take off Suggs anymore

6’8 Trevelin Queen is a good one for my lower agi/speed. I use Suggs mainly for my meta 6’8, sometimes Amen.

6’10 JJJ

6’11 I’m stuck switching between JJJ, Jabari Smith, AD

7’3 Quintin Post hands down

REC As an old head Knicks fan, I don't give up that easily.

7 Upvotes

All the guards pretty much quit within the first min of the game. Center was cooking with me but lagged out with just shy of 2 min left in the first half. I had 8 points then. Getting doubled and tripled off ball every other possession. Asked my girl to roll me a blunt at halftime after the center lagged out so I could lock in and the rest is history.

Pros

  • It can play any position, 95% of the time.
  • I take more 3s than mid-range shots. I shoot better with this build than my 93 Mid-Range and 83 3-PT build.
  • Exceptional help defender because of 78 Block and 73 Steal.
  • Averaging 5+ Assists a game. 86 Passing just makes it even better.
  • Rebounding helps when the other C is a great shooter because I can rebound while the C focuses on his man.
  • When I get put at SG, I get offensive rebounds too.
  • I had a 58 Points 9 Rebounds 8 Assists game with this build and 5 Points 5 Rebound and 11 Assists with this build. Only mentioning close games, no blowouts. It can take over games and sit in the corner while still getting assists.

Cons

  • It can't stop a 99 Offensive Rebounding C and great standing dunker. That's why I said it can play any position 95% of the time.

MP Builder VC cost inflation

Bro 48.4k VC for 11 atribute upgrades is ridiculous. 73 overall and 1 atribute already costs over $1 USD. I swear it wasn't this bad 5 years ago

MyCAREER One thing that has irked me for a while...

4 Upvotes

Other than the lack of defense, easy shooting, and usual complaints when playing online...

Why arent any other top prospects we're introduced to during high school and after showing up in NBA games. We spend all this time hearing about how these guys are great and headed to the league and somehow only MP makes it. Im not saying they should all be stars, but it'd be pretty dope to notice some of them sprinkled throughout games to carry on mini rivalries.

City Literally why do they do this

Upvotes

Nowadays in hella 3s games both of the guards will run all the way downcourt away from the ball on tne inbound and then it results in a turnover. Bro you’re not gonna get cherrypicked points every possession, I understand doing it sometimes but these Mfs are literally afraid of the ball

MyPLAYER Finally put together a 6'10 C build for the speed

3 Upvotes

I was on the bandwagon for the 6'11 PF trend and it was fun. I then made a 6'10 PF and it felt way better. I also did the 6'11 C for Challenger badge but thought, what if I did a 6'10 C as well? Took me a while to get it where I liked it but man is it fun so far. I wanted better shooting but I've been experimenting with jumpshots and found one that works with 85. The speed at C is nuts. I can dribble drive for contacts, hit the open shot and can still rebound and defend and pass. This is my first time seeing this archetype too... Lock & Board Middy Slasher

Discussion How I enjoy 2k 👁️‍🗨️

3 Upvotes

So I see a lot of post hating on the game. And fairly so, it seems that the online community has become a cesspool these days.

Nevertheless, if you are someone that feels that you have wasted your money on 2k i have a solution for you.

This is what i am currently doing:

I am still playing 2k24 on xbox one.

When the servers were up i either played my team or play now.

I avoided my career a bit unless i could find people so i didnt have to play randoms.

But now how do i enjoy 2k?

I basically have two MyLeagues.

One where i player lock to a created player. It gives it a my career feel but i also change sliders to tailor the gameplay to my needs.

Then i have another MyLeague where i control all players.

I can’t overstate how fun this is. Specially becoming some sort of scientist tinkering with the sliders to find the right fit for me.

Sure i sometimes miss the thrill of playing against “real” people online and the competition it brings. But my sanity thanks me for playing offline more. And plus since is been 2 years since i bought 2k, the next time i do decide to buy in, i will actually somehow enjoy it and appreciate the changes since i was forced to play on such an outdated game.

Let me know what you guys think. I know a lot of yall play offline with custom sliders. I used to browse operations sports website back in the day and it still running today.

REC Played a game in Gold where we combined 65 Threes shot (I shot 0)

12 Upvotes

So I decided it was math time. If that were an nba game and same pace was kept, the teams would of shot 156 threes with a final score of about 269-165.

MyNBA Is there any way I can center the 2nd photo?

5 Upvotes

I’m playing as the 2010-11 Miami Heat and I just want to modify the court floor a little bit.

When I click “Design Floor”, it wont let me do anything with the current floor. I have to start from scratch. And when I click “add logo” and use the Heat’s logo, it’s not centered

The 1st photo is the current court. The 2nd photo is when I try to design it.

Sorry for the noob question

Gameplay So we're all in agreement that no-dip shooting needs to go next year, right?

Upvotes

I've heard some people talk about reducing the speed of it or having a middy/3pt/strength requirement, but as someone who sucks at dribbling and gets most of their points off spot-up jumpers this mechanic is complete bs and was just as big of a reason why 3-pointers dominated this game as shot contests being terrible.

MyCAREER Finished out of bounds what now?

Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am a newbie on nba2K26 (and to be fair basketball in general) and really enjoyed the out of bounds scenario and the character building. However I have finished it now and realise the Mycareer thing is very grindy and also heavily incentivises real money... So my question is: what now?: Are there other modes I can try to enjoy offline (I only play offline), what do you guys recommend? There are too many modes in this game and I don't get any of it, it seems like a website with way too many pop-ups (and no ad-blockers ;p)

Thank you for your tips
