    I play a lot of center builds, if you can’t shoot, you are going to have a difficult time. Even if you have a 99 standing dunk, you got to be the right spot, everytime to get it, and the guys who like to drive will just complain that you need to get out of paint. I think the Shaq builds can work, but you have to be on a pro am team with people that you play with all the time, so you know what they are doing, they know what you’re doing.

    I think for main ball handlers and bigs being a balanced archetype is better just so you have other aspects of your game to set up easier looks for yourself. Maybe 1-2 stats in the 90s with everything else being 80ish super difficult to guard.

    It’s going to be pure specialist by season 2. Maximized pure lock 6’7 wings with 99 steal and some 3 ball surrounding a small pure offensive guard and maybe a shooting glass lock.
    All around builds just won’t be able to compete with someone with maximized stats. Like an 85P defense isn’t stopping the small 99 ball handle and 99 3 ball curry build.

    if you are a guard, make sure you are extremely explosive and can score at every level. This is what's going to open up your game and make your defenders guess.
    You gotta be able to shoot 3s, stepback spinshot, post fade, finish inside and you can't do any of these if you aren't quick enough to beat your defender off the dribble.
    I always made balanced builds. Don't need a 99 three or middy if my shots are wide open 90% of the time.

    I would say it should be a 70 / 30 Blend. The build should be mostly (70%) balanced but with key (30%) Pure aspects.
    Another way of saying this is, push one or two attributes to elite levels and keep the rest balanced.
    Keep in mind you get cap breakers and badge +1's throghout the year so your build will get increasingly more elite in other categories.

    B4 we know the gameplay the stats don’t rly mean anything (layup dunk). 81 layup looks pretty good. But if there’s no animations it can get that get good scoops or floats then it’s almost useless. Same with dunking. If 75dunk can’t unlock any quick effective anis then might as well be 25.

      Plus what is 75 driving dunk go to do with rotations anyway and youre going up on a center. 25 vs 75 won't matter. I would've kept perim D at 85 because let's be honest you're not getting cut off animations and shit anyway. Then you get intD and strength and board points back and put that into agility and layup.
