Alright y'all, I've been listening after my last video. I've been getting more excited I've been watching all of these archetypes I've been trying to choose like yo which ones are really gonna stand out which ones aren't there's new information Coming out every single day. So let me keep you updated now first of all if y'all new to the channel be sure to subscribe Right when 2k18 comes out. I'm gonna be on a grind like no other listen because I dropped my video yesterday I know it's in the building gonna be making the first build probably gonna be my main building NBA 2k18 Some people are coming out of me saying agent you're gonna have to be shooting off jubble shots if that's gonna be your main build And I don't know where everybody is getting all this information from that I've never seen before because unless you have the Peel it already. There's no way to know But what I do know is the build I talked about in that video has a higher three pointer than a pure shock creator So explain that one like I'm sure that build can be dominant right the only question mark again With that limitless range regardless this video here. We're talking about sharpshooters in general The only way to have those Hall of Fame sharpshooter badges is if one you blend with a shock creator sharpshooter or you just do a pure sharpshooter This specific builds like limitless range the only way to get Hall of Fame is to go pure sharpshooter And I think probably stretch big I actually have no idea I haven't literally when it comes to big men I'm not worried about it I'm gonna find myself a cool glass cleaner of paint protector And I'm just gonna run with that person, but for me I'm not looking at that stuff All right, so check this out because it's peculiar the way that the three point shooters are set up We know last year they were really overpowered so 2k this year is trying to find a balance There's been a bunch of people releasing stuff that I'm like how was this even made? There's no way this could possibly be accurate like I'm looking at right now a giant Excel document Explaining the maximum attributes that a specific build can have when it's not possible because there is no We didn't even know none of the attributes for any of the builds yet So I'm like how did this Excel document come to be on top of the fact that it doesn't account for a wingspan Way high all of that which like if I make a six 10 sharpshooter is gonna be very different than a six two where is that? But still even though it's not completely accurate It kind of helps you visualize a map out what changes happened from last year coming on to this year Hey shout out to Dunk man He tweeted me out this graph and he's been updating it ever since it literally shows the amount of badges each specific build has So this can be some builds that have eight or nine less total badges than other builds and y'all know I'm betting on attributes this year, but I still want to make sure my badges are set point blank period It makes zero sense to have a sharpshooter primary and not have a sharpshooter secondary and become a pure archetype Any person who does sharpshooter playmaker sharpshooter sharp cutter sharpshooter whatever comes next You're losing all the Hall of Fame badges that makes you a sharpshooter take sharp out the equation If you don't have those badges you were just a shooter you were just a shooter with good attributes That can't pull from limitless the way a pure sharpshooter can and in return the attributes you get aren't even worth it This year the sharpshooter is deficient in so many areas so many people are looking at ballhand link to tell whether you can speed boost or not But isn't acceleration the stat we should be paying attention to and not based off any facts But based off pure logic acceleration is how fast you can get off the jump and sharpshooters have anywhere between nine to eleven Acceleration that is horrendous Especially compared to every other build now the player I played with when I was at the event It didn't feel sluggish or slow it just felt like it wasn't explosive So you're definitely gonna feel that explosion coming off a playmaker if you have some sort of blend where your ball handling is higher If you mess with the shot creator But some people are looking at the acceleration of sharpshooters and getting so scared because you're like yo I'm not gonna be able to speed boost y'all forgetting this is a game of basketball I don't care how many people try and tell me agent this the year where slashes are gonna take over If you can't start the floor I am sagging it is that simple and when I start to sag it makes you driving so much more difficult Now something to note when I was playing NBA 2K 18 there were way more blow by animations For those who don't know what those are is when you're dribbling and the gives him the animation to blow by you and get ahead So it was not nothing the defender did wrong it's just the animation the other person had Because he has for example a playmaker is gonna have max speed max playmaking right And if you're a 6-2 sharpshooter you won't have no defense and you're weak if you made minimum weight He's gonna blow by you you're gonna see that animation have more often So I saw some people on Twitter asked me oh what about the lockdown It doesn't seem like it's worth making a lockdown especially because Mike Wang tweeted saying that's still success seen A considerable decrease from last year But I'm here to tell you right now about the event I was playing with a sharpshooting shot creator And the amount of times I got blown by and I felt like I was playing some pretty solid defense Maybe there's some settings I could have changed some things I could have done But it's gonna be valuable to have a lockdown I just want to point that out but the sharpshooter in general just doesn't have any real athleticism Even if you make him super short and minimum weight All this stuff you can do everything in your power But he's still not gonna be moving that fast And we do know that this year brick wall isn't as effective as it was last year So it's also gonna be tougher to get open using screen So in many ways the sharpshooter seen a nerf as I feel like it should have Because it was the best build last year The more I look at these lists the more I could get the idea that they try really hard to balance the game this year And I saw a tweet it was from one of the devs on Twitter that said something like Everybody's so worried about creating the best archetype off-wreck on paraphrasing But people should really just play with what they enjoy most And if you're good at the game you'll find a way to dominate Now you won't catch me playing with a player that can't shoot a three ball But I know there's gonna be lockdowns who straight up dominate the game There's gonna be pain protectors, there's gonna be stretches, there's gonna be Whatever the blender the pure archetype you make there's ways to just straight up dominate That being said dude like the benefits of having a build that's superior to a lot of different builds Which is why I'm saying it doesn't make sense to blend anything primary sharpshooter And the sad thing is there's so many people that are basing their opinions straight off of NBA 2K17 That does that haven't paid attention or focused on the changes It's got end up making a build pay VC which by the way we found out that it's gonna cost about 200 KVC the number was 190K approximately to upgrade your player max to 85 overall We also found out that I think at overall 75 you will love the jumpshot crater So if you're buying VC to upgrade your player on day one you're starting off with the jumpshot crater Mike when I put out a tweet saying passing out of the shot will lead to a lot of turnovers this year Especially for non-play makers Now this is something that again sharpshooters were very guilty of Now me personally I ummm a very like once every few months I would pass out of a shot It was very rare for me because it just didn't make if I would only pull up and find me while I'd make it I don't just get up and then change my mind midway it doesn't work like that from But again there were a lot of sharpshooters who did so those who did you're gonna be shooting a lot of turnovers this year Mike Wang was on a spree giving info on twitter today so I'm a recap it real quick Somebody tweeted a video out Mike Wang and said yo why are man's missing so many shots close to the pain Got you didn't say like that paraphrase and my plan could apply there were a lot of four shots inside with some pretty weak Finisher's if you take higher quality shots in the paint the numbers are fine So we're getting the impression that in this like that when I played it as well Is you're not gonna be making as many drives and attempts to the basket if you're not one of those archetypes who could finesse on that And the sharpshooter is horrible at that Let me get the exact attribute sharpshooters had between two to four attributes out of 25 for dunking And 9 to 11 for layup so unless something changes if you're a sharpshooter especially if you're a short one You're not gonna be driving into the pain of making too many layups contest We finally got some good news for the sharpshooters Especially in cash and shoot situations where you get the ball and then you dip the ball before going up for the shot Well, you can really just go like this and go up for the shot immediately without having to wind up and go through all those animations This year Mike Wang is saying they're much quicker than they ever have been no extra steps before compression like past And I guess the same goes for any type of shot that you're trying to make so I'm gonna have a pure build You guys know that but the reason I made my previous video which I'm gonna link in a card above And the reason I'm excited about that specific build is because all the stuff that the sharpshooters got nerfed about this year In mp8 2k 18 the the shot crater main gives boost for so you're gonna see those boosts for ball hammer You're gonna see a boost for athleticism is is like all the stuff You're gonna feel like you're deficient at you won't be as good a three-point shooter and have those Hall of Fame bads But again it all depends on that limitless range anyway This is just a stuff that's feel-tuned through my brain I can't stop thinking about this type of moves and dribble like everything anyway the gameplay I'll be seeing like in between these clips is from good game bro To be honest, I don't know how these guys captured footage because I didn't know people were doing that shit But he's been uploading footage So if you guys want to see him I'll link him in the description and his links been on the screen when you see the gameplay throughout the video If you guys enjoyed make sure drop a like subscribe to guys your new yo 2k 18 is gonna be a grind and I'm ready for it I'm out y'all Peace
