Im just a rec player. I have a 6'9 build that I averaged a triple double w. I have a 7'0 build that I get triple double w all the time if my team hits their shots. No shooting on either build high dunks, good lay, good interior d, decent stl, rebound, and high pass. Just gotta have basketball IQ and know how to find the open player.
Let me glaze a little bit…I am a casual player and suck at shooting consistently. 2K24 nearly broke me. I could not shoot for the life of me. 99 3 ball didn’t matter. @Lakerfan dropped his point center (SF) build and it made the game fun for me. I was able to contribute boards and assists with the occasional nasty standing dunk. It made the game fun again. I can shoot better in this 2K but last years build made me a better guard because I spent the whole year facilitating now I look to pass first instead of shoot when I’m on my guard build. If you’re a casual and struggle with shooting consistently, give these builds a try and I promise the game experience will be better not just for you but for your teammates.
Are 6’9 insides good? I love the attributes 100x better than 6’8 or 6’10 but u do miss out on the big man contact animations. Still looks OP with 96 o board, 95 strength, 90 standing, 93 block
@@ricardofonseca1537no, a 6’9 center can definitely be too small in 5v5 modes when u get matched up against a real big, u gonna get bullied on the glass
If I have 77 vertical for gold pogo stick then how much of an improvement do you think it will be going from a 74 block with bronze paint patroller and chasedown artist to an 84 block with silver paint patroller and chasedown artist on a 6'9" or 6'10" big?
Thats always been the move. People actually lucky we dont have the perks like juice anymore. Making the tallest, fastest player possible was always OP.
My center can’t shoot but I can guard the 3-5 i can contest on both perimeter and interior and I hate playing with players who don’t utilize pick and rolls I be setting picks and they just sit top of the key and dribble a million times as a post scorer if we’re up I’m slowing the game down so the other team don’t gain no momentum and gold dimer when they double I pass to perim open mans I’m literally all over the floor but the 3 point line and works effectively
@@HeppyHenry Agreed, i main big. Alot of these "PGs" are just at the position bc of their height and not IQ. Most are just focusedv on what puts them in position to score vs what helps offense be most efficient. I love space, pace, good basketball, and unselfishness. Mashers and rim runners are just annoying bc theyll usually be the main ones screaming for space (a luxury they themselves can't provide), have to be involved in every play or it's 4 v 5, are the worse passers going up on 2+ defenders hitting you with the infamous "i thought i was going to dunk it" like their teammates aren't wide open at the 3, then get mad when their teammate does a nice move to blow past their defender but can't capitalize bc the non shooters defender double knowing his man is useless every where outside of the paint. If you can't shoot and you play with Randoms you're trash 85% of the time
LAKER how do you feel about vertical for rebounds i have a 7’0 center with 96 D board and Hof rebound chaser with short arms like Tonic build but i feel like i can’t grab boards, should i put 3 cap breakers on my vert to bring it up to 77 and get gold pogo or should i put all 5 on my vert and get 79?
Stop giving people the idea to make no spacing builds it’ll only work in niche situations and comp,I’d wager you’re the reason every other rec game were have bums sitting paint
Not really, people will always make non shooting builds. That's just a build style that's been in all 2ks No bigman player that shoots will look at these inside builds laker makes and thinks yea this is meta. The video still provides good information that can be used though
Definitely much appreciated and I respect you making a build that fits your playstyle. I just know from my experience I love having players that have at least a 75 three-point shot.
Had a dude literally just comment saying the opposite Either way, what’s your problem with bringing this to people who think they’d be interested in it? It’s not like I’m trying to convince people that these type of builds are the way, if anything I made it pretty clear that the 7’0 with shooting would fit majority of people’s style. I think you people are delusional thinking I’m trying to preach a religion of pure insides like I think that’s the only way to play 😂
my pure inside 7 footer with a triple double average in rec begs to differ XD if u cant play with a 5 that cant shoot u just dont know how to ball and u were probably going to lose anyway
@@kennnyyy.21 not when you’re going against a 6’7 with 86 speed and can’t keep up but he’s got gold post move lockdown and silver paint patroller. Speed is king in 3s. 1s you can take a taller build but on a footer you’ll get exposed by the right people
It's OK, but it can result in your matchup being able to rotate paint quickly if you don't sit out of the 3pt line. You really have to have some shooting (mid or three) unless you have a dedicated team
thats for icon purposes, he plays "center" in the P&R on offense but he defensively usually plays with 2 other "bigs" whether thats a backend and stretch or 2 stretches afaik
you only need 75/80 for silver set shot and the glass gunner takeover. that allows you to go slightly heavier and get 91 strength but still have 70 speed
maybe playing stage, but if not thats probably close to 4 figures worth of vc lol... my question is how does he have tehm all to a potential 99 thats so much grinding
You buy them.. if you make money from playing the game you can write it off on taxes, basically like a 30-40% discount due to not having to pay taxes on it.

@@SunnyDove same here😂 only mode I run, I’d love to see a best random rec builds video, a lot of builds cater to squads & 2s and 3s but random rec is a different beast
@@jakesharppi made a 7 foot center balanced on everything, nothings too low but nothings too high except for 99 defensive rebounding. 90 standing dunk, 93 block ,84 close shot, 78 post, 88 interior d, 66 speed, 93 strength. Maybe a 7 1 with cap breakers is better but i like my build so far, just no shooting on it but thats the point, gotta get the most out of the attributes u want but randoms suck and miss alot and dont pass or use screens properly especially when you match make with lower overalls n rep so gotta keep that in mind
You can play Rec with any decent build really. You don't need some meta build or whatever. Just preferably a build that can decently stretch the floor, otherwise it's gonna be sometimes painful for your teammates, especially if you're not the only non shooter on the team (I guess if you're a center you can get away with it because you might be setting screens a lot, but having the option to pop after a screen as well is good). I think what's best is to make your own build that plays according to your own playstyle. Unless it's your first 2K, I don't really recommend just copying someone else's build. You just have to know what attribute values are worth it and what unlocks badges and animations. (he made a video on that)
Got a 7'0 with the natural 99, absolute god. Pure inside plays soooo well, 90 dunk on it gonna cap break it to 95. You can get good defensive stats too, my builds called a defensive anchor. Often you play at the 4 in REC but no matter if you are the 4 or 5 you absolutely dominate boards and most of the time can easily box out and putback if you also get legend box out and 96 strength
I have like 8 builds with reb chaser from bronze to legend. Gold is imo the sweet spot. As long as you have gold and have position/box out you're gonna get the board. Above that is overkill and unnecessary. Better off spending it on something else at that point
Thi guy always with these bummy non-shooting center builds 😂😂 getting hard carried by a guard to make it work. Shooting is so inexpensive just to have the 75 or so rating to shoot. Handicapping a build for no reason.
Sacrificing strength for speed and vert is the best thing you can do as a big man . I’m not saying go low strength but . I’m saying go 85 vert thenmax strength as a big man .
@@johnathanamaya-anderson952 Yeah but do you know for a fact that 85 gets you better animations than 80 ? It's obviously animation based so if it's the same ones there's no point. I haven't been able to find info on that. Apparently 80 gives animations but idk about 85.

U should try squeezing a muddy or something just to make the center think about leaving the plate. Undersized bigs are hard to play if u play solo
