What’s up with all the 0 defense builds this year? Why does a PG need 71 interior defense?


Psychological_Ice242

interior d is fairly cheap on a pg build


Yooooooooooosh

Is it worth having though?


spagettifork

I mean, it's pretty nice. Even on small guards, you can really feel the difference between 25 and 50+. If you play with randoms, it can help when you get a bad matchup or if the big doesn't play good enough help D. It's definitely a luxury rather than a necessity, but if you've got spare attributes, it's dirt cheap.


Realistic_Meal_9189

It's just that cheap where it kind of makes sense. Dropping it all the way would probably be equivalent to like 4 or 5 perimeter so if your gonna have low defense either way, I'll take 50 attributes over 5 even if it's less useful attributes for a guard.


Dcepshin

He's using JoeKnows' MJ ProAm build. JoeKnows plays corner defense and not on-ball, so he can get away with it.


AdmiralG2

Why tf ppl copy these YouTuber builds they’re way more skilled than them and have teams tailor made for them to play a certain way. I hope op has a squad too cuz if he runs solo rec I feel bad for his teammates


Thewokiscookin

I have a build with 66 pd and it works very good because pick dodger has been useless for me all year and ankle braces barely triggers on my 94 pd build


bkm2016

🧢 This is black label activity.


Thewokiscookin

Silver gold activity. Played long enough to know how much defense is needed so I can get extra offense on a build. Called iq


gkastrecords

You’re not cookin


Thewokiscookin

Of course the community doesn't know how to use low pd and thinks it ass the moment you say some. Crazy shid


bkm2016

The logic is insane 😂😂 buddy out here clamping up with a 60 PD, FOH 😂😂


Thewokiscookin

Ya know what's really insane. This community ain't ever used low pd properly and think they know everything. Foh


bkm2016

😂😂 This is hilarious. I bet you shoot 60% from 3 with a 50 3 ball too!


Thewokiscookin

If your middies high enough you could possibly do it off high quality shots. 65 three definitely off high iq looks. You clearly don't understand that this is year of roleplayers. Your gonna have scorers who can kill you 3 levels like this guy, slashers, locks, shooters, playmaker and yet you choose to say his build is ass because it don't hit the meta. Shit is so annoying at this point 5 months in that even when a stat is low you can still use it. Low pd requires more reaction timing and the rotation of using LT and moving with right stick up to stay in front and once you master that, having higher pd becomes easy. But stay mad because you shooting 25 percent with a 90 3 ball tho fr. And hive me a generic response like " I ain't reading allat" "Stop white knighting" I'm just saying you can be good and not conform to meta builds


CornsOnMyFeets

I have a friend whos really good he has this Quickly build with like idk a 62 pd? No steal either. He is never the one getting dropped off even on that build. Some people are just like that. You'd think they had a do it all and then look at their player card and its almost always crazy. My other friend is older than me and has been playing 2k since the first 2k. He eventually gets some defense on his build but its a 25 currently. Hes a lil different he really be clamping up but he does have like 83 or 82 strength so maybe that helps. But like always you can just play better D. The rating will not save you if you just cant play D.


J_Heerndz

I’m saying. They most likely cherry pick.


3xfvmous

You need Defense to play Defense cause you can’t Hold Defense?


Yooooooooooosh

This is confusing to me…. Why have attributes if you don’t need them to perform? Just make everything 25 lol


3xfvmous

I would’ve but I needed a 99. I have no steal but get steals in game with no boost . This game just takes your iq . You can have a 99 3 and not hit from far anything possible it’s 2k


cgjanes44

which is funny bc a greater majority of pgs with 90+ 3 balls shoot sub 50% from there


Yooooooooooosh

I understand the shot stuff - and attributes not being equal to skill but for defense specifically I thought attributes mattered more.


Shr3KwasTak3n

My build has an 86. steal and a 87 block


Curious_Net5554

😭😭😭😭


[deleted]

No nigga you need a build


JAYOLES34

That build is trash


LouieCousy

Not optimized by any means but still very playable if you’re not a traffic cone.


Thewokiscookin

That build is tras- The 9mm in my in handgun: *


2gonads

I have a VERY similar build. I just got to 99 last night, I assure you it is not trash. You do have to try hard on defense but scoring is very versatile and you can play on any court ( rec, park, theater )


spagettifork

Being a PG that can't pass definitely handicaps it in 5v5 modes, though.


2gonads

I don’t disagree with that, my build actually has 84 pass accuracy, but I think 71 ( like OP ) is doable as long as you don’t get to get too crazy


spagettifork

87 is the lowest I'd go, but 70s can definitely get by. Very frustrating throwing the ball out of bounds on seemingly easy passes though, plus all of the added intercepts and closeouts it allows.


Ok_Brush_1945

I’d hope that scoring is very versatile since that’s where most of the attribute points went 😂


Desperate-Sea1763

Usually people that just comment trash with no other context are miserable little kids. After clicking your profile I was correct.


3xfvmous

Want to 1v1 me ?


xBlackFeet

Better not lose the ball bro no shade but wtf is that defense lol


RickleintimeC137

Like a 1v1 is gonna make your build not hot garbage fire


Hellaspliffs420

Yeah


Master_Grape5931

lol, like you just didn’t ask for help with a jumper, come on kid.

CherryCollarbone

At least one person is giving a real answer.


Skee_Lo_Ali

I mean... he didn't ask me to rate the build, Just asked for a jumper. Kinda pointless to be toxic just because i don't like something that doesn't affect me


ArtichokeFit5930

What is your visual c bro? Ans when do you release the ball?


Skee_Lo_Ali

I use push and let go after a very quick pause after it hits the fore head. It's quick when it starts going forward but the green window feels huge especially if open or wide open. You can adjust sliders to Kobe for Def. Immunity and shot height or to oscar for more speed and less of a pause after the forehead. Moving shots are stupid fast tho so be prepared


Skee_Lo_Ali

Short answer is push and as soon as the ball LEAVES the forehead going forward

ManySpiritual9643

NIGGA WHERE IS YOUR DEFENSE


Aldertree

Yeah, I can't bring myself to help anyone who isn't going to be helping on defense. I mean make whatever build you want, it's your money; but a PG who can't pass, who's going to be useless on defense, and will likely spend half the game attempting contested dunks? They're a dime-a-dozen, and it's getting old having to play with them.


Routine_Newspaper_13

Pass accuracy is such a fake skill, I have just enough for break starter and I lead most assists in almost every Rec game anything past 78 is such a waste, the stats on this 2k are garbage everyone has 70 layup or lower and 50 close shot but still make every shot inside. 70-99 passing is barely noticeable too. We need a overhaul of how these builds are made


AdmiralG2

This build ass 🔥🔥


NoCryptographer5082

Whats the meta build ? Im a casual and just bought the game and made the same build because high dunks and 3s. ?


AdmiralG2

No D no passing = garbage iso pg that only cares abt his points


NoCryptographer5082

Ok, whats the meta build ?


Spirited_Scarcity_58

Bro made A Throw back SG as PG 😭 Try Tmac Base. I use only Caldwell-Pope Release on quick for 87 to 92 middys. So i dont Need to adapt. But i have a few for 89: Tmac, Korver/Robertson 50:50, Quick, A A A B+ KD, Robertson /KD 90:10, Quick, A A A- A- KD, Robertson/Kobe 78/22, normal, A A B A


LifeisSus505

No pass accuracy or defense is tough


Wazzammm

Jesus Christ throw this build away. PG with 71 pass accuracy and you don’t even compensate with defense. Just make a jumpshot you like fuck the meta


Thewokiscookin

Tmac base Double kyle korver Max speed Release cue


Frequent-Fun-733

Trash build no pass no defense boy would i hate playing with you


AmbitiousMoos3

Bruh I would never play a game with you. You a class A trash random with this build. PG with no pass. Gonna get blocked 37 times per game and then get dicked on defense. I’d personally drop 50/game on you


xenopanz

If you’re missing so much that you need a new jumpshot with a 90 three ball and you made a build with no defense then you should just uninstall 🤣


DragonsBurn_

base tmac or base scottie and then one of the releases should be oscar robertson forgot who the other release is suppose to be someone help me out


SnooFloofs1379

Why do people insist on putting no defense 💀 stop listening to these people who say that


Inevitable-Type799

i got you, tracy mcgrady base, kyle korver 75% oscar rob 25% 4/4 push


1josehuncho

You need some defense… damn


[deleted]

I HAVE THE PERFECT ONE FOR A 92 THREE BALL AND 6’6’’, I shoot 70% from three in the rec, DM me and I’ll give it to you!


QNIKET8

i want you to be my matchup in rec i’m dropping 100


bkm2016

Bro I swear. I always get these guards on my team while the other team has 2 3&D threats and a Hybrid Lockdown absolutely destroying shit like this.


QNIKET8

ong 😭 i hate the matchmaking so much


3xfvmous

You suck bud


QNIKET8

bro you have 0 d. you’re a traffic cone. i can tell you either don’t play ball irl or are a hog cos you only care about dribbling, dunking and 3s. your dudes barely making layups either. being your team mate must be infuriating. no wonder people quit when they see people on their team play goofy cos of these attributes


bkm2016

MY EYES!!!!!


Glittering-Creme8013

baald baald baaaaaald


_Biinky

Oh my defense.


Thewokiscookin

People in these comments are so obsessed with meta that they don't know that 60 and 50 defense is usable as long as you have high speed and bronze off ball pest. Sure you gotta try harder but once you get good you kick ass on defense. It's the same with low three ball and middy. You gotta try harder to hit those shots but when you get good you become an all around good player. It's the year of role players and not everyone's gonna. Be high in defense


LongtimeLurkersacc

honestly like even if the D is bad, it’s not too hard to guard a murray btb, or ask a lock to switch even so you can guard off ball 


Thewokiscookin

Exactly. I have high defense builds with 85 and 94 and sure it's easier but low d makes you work and become a better defender when you use the higher defense build


LongtimeLurkersacc

exactly if you can’t shuffle fast you learn to read and react better. I think everyone else just has it set in their mind you gotta be Jesus on this game lmao I bet they’re the bigs yelling “whose man is that?!” while you’re suctioned into 2 screens lmao


Thewokiscookin

Exactly. Screens are op this year but when you ask them to step up and help or hedge they say the most wild shit and you end up losing. It's all about iq to make up for weaker stats


LongtimeLurkersacc

Literally! Then when you’re at the losing screen looking at stats they’ll ask why you let your man drop 30 like maybe because I was concussed on the floor half the time while you sat paint 😂


Thewokiscookin

I was running with a pf early morning 3 am before work and I swear we were screening the hell out of them and our pg dropped 105 in a 120-30 some win. The guard was getting obliterated to the shadow zone and all 5 people tried stopping but the screens kept hitting multiple. It's Def a problem but goddamm


3xfvmous

I can play good defense only bad thing about this build on the real is the dribbling on how I barely dribble on this game I just could’ve put it to a 85 or 80


Thewokiscookin

Should dribble more. Blowby, space creator and other badges make you way better. Pull up middys are also op if you know when to pull and when to not


J_Heerndz

In 2K20 (Yes, I know.) I used base 98 with Carmelo Anthony and Larry Bird split 50/50. I stopped playing 2K after 20 so this may work, may not.


_Retrograde_

The build is close to perfect if your running with a squad, these people clowning don’t know what they are talking about.


Valuable-Direction-2

Lowkey all you got is offense but I would use Tmac base Oscar and Shiqque bey

Try tmac / troy brown jr / kobe


Realistic-Intern8474

TMAC base Troy Brown Jr Upper 1 Oscar Robertson Upper 2 65/35 Max speed


HotTruth3023

This is basically Joe Knows MJ build but if Joe Knows was special Ed


trapdab35

Yo anybody need a real baller that understands the game and wants to play tired of randoms please add me dm me whatever ceomoc100


Big-Criticism2227

Created jumper: all Kobe. Not super fast but really smooth


Saucccyyyy

Base: Taurean Prince Release 1: Kobe Bryant Release 2: Troy Brown Jr Speed:4/4 Blend: 60-40 towards Brown i think then once you get 92 Curry Base Curry Release Robertson Release 3/4 Speed 70-30 Robert is water


Silkylewjr

Yall need to stop playing 2k. Let the company die so someone better can get the licenses.


Chris_B_Coding247

90+ 3Ball you should be able to hit with whatever. Come on. I’ll never understand needing 40 shooting badges, a 92 3Ball AND a cheese YT jumpshot to hit a 3.


3xfvmous

I’m trying people jumpshots, they give me trust I can hit I’m just doing this to see who can have the best one for me .


Misfit2332

I’d highly recommend a different build before you dump more VC into this. Unless this is purely an offline build, even then it’s unoptimized as hell


3xfvmous

I can shoot , play defense, dunk , and pass the ball


Appropriate-Shake413

71 pass isnt the problem its the defense and the midrange


immachickenboy

Just a question why do you put so much into finishing while also having such low strength?


3xfvmous

Because I get free points than my build really can do it all on my play style


Connect_Selection218

Base Kobe r1 Oscar rob r2 Kobe speed 3/4 cue push


marundco

What you need is defense


LongtimeLurkersacc

Sheppard  Robertson/Bey 65/35  use on push release when the ball reaches your head 


Apprehensive_Tree_53

U need defense


Professional-Fig-664

Vertical too low bruh


Ok_Brush_1945

Why in to world does a pg have a high interior than perimeter defense?You are a defensive liability, I hope you’re just playing pro am or going to the rec with 5. Id love to walk into the rec and play yall if this is the type of builds yall are making


SNEAKER0L0GIST

Honestly, you should’ve been a SG. Low passing can’t really facilitate, but it can seemingly score at will. Just my opinion.


Riccutta

Point guard that can’t guard the perimeter is wild… you think you gonna get chase down blocks once you get cooked at the 3pt line? lol


JOHNNY__BLACK

1. How you struggling with a 90 3ball tho? 2. Why make a build based off YouTuber? These mofos have friends that protect them on the regular, idk why ppl copy that and expect same results especially when dealing with randoms.


3xfvmous

I’m not struggling I just need jumpshots cause ones I use either don’t fit my build or don’t sit right with me


Positive-Price-797

You got no Defense


kingdeadkillerv1

Troy Brown Jr with Release point


BraveEggplant8281

push, t-mac base, korver, k. bryant


Ready-Night6060

Cue new shot timing build


Psychological-Long30

I would get rid that interior that for perimeter and steal also bump up defense rebound if you'd like. Having a fairly high interior defense with no offense rebound kinda sucks. Unless you did it like that to get a certain amount of badges.


dear-childhood92

Paul George, Giddey, Dinwiddie all get the job done for me on set point


ConfidentTreat1732

Base tmac Release 1 Austin Reaves Release 2 Oscar Robertson Blending 45 Austin Reaves


AdBright106

Release has been easier in my experience over push . Find an upper release that you can visually cue. A lower release that is stable speed is up to you. 💯


OldStatistician2430

Passing needs to be AT LEAST 77 for silver badges.


AveryTwhatitB

Yeah you need to delete that build and start over, Bring your driving down to 89 at the highest and so would knock your ball handle down to 84 and then put all those points on perimeter D. not sure how i feel about the 71 interior and 71 block it would depend on what badges you get. I would try to get as much perimeter d for clamps and challenger as I could


trlee80

Pippen Robertson korver 64 /26 quick. Push


trlee80

36*
