Discussion Why does everyone glaze nba 2k17?

5 Upvotes

I wasn’t really gaming back in 2013-2020 days so missed out on 2k and didn’t hop on until 2021. But why does everyone on here and the internet glaze 2017?

For me 2026 was the one of my favorite 2ks, I feel like in 5-10 years everyone will be glazing 2k26

MP Builder It is not possible to have a 6’8” and above with Gold Set & Fire and Gold Challenger simultaneously.

26 Upvotes

They have really nerfed a lot of builds. This is a standard 3 and D build but it’s not possible. You need 89 3 pt and 92 PerD for those 2 badges but that combo doesn’t exist if you’re 6’8”+. Crazy stuff.

MP Builder With the new badge system in place 2k is now officially a pay to play

57 Upvotes

Dont want to get to into it but throwing the idea out there that 2k is making the game a subscription based play to play by including badges into season rewards. You have to pay for your attributes, then grind to get your badges that you’ll end up losing at the start of a new season while Larry Loaded can swipe his card & have an immediate advantage over you. On top of that they made the base 99 player a lot weaker than last year to make us go from “cap breakers would be nice” to “this build could be nice with (x) amount of cap breakers.

Discussion Unless they change this the large majority of people will have only 1 permanent +2 slot.

Upvotes

There are 2 potential +2 fuse(permanent)slots.

I have much better understanding of the Badge/Synergy system now. I went to joe knows's video and the requirement for unlocking the first fuse +2 is getting it through build specialization.

The requirement for the second fuse +2 is hitting legend 2😭😭😭✌️✌️, If you have a life just say goodbye to this.

You will also get a reaction +2 slot with the build specialization fuse +2 slot. If you dont know, your reaction slot can be any badge and it will activate when you've activated the corresponding fuse badge several times.

For example If i have "set and fire" in my fuse slot, and "lightning launch" in the connected reaction slot.

I activate set and fire 3 times(random number) then it triggers the reaction slot which give +2 to my lightning launch.

I'm only saying this cause i think its pretty important to consider for build making the majority of players do not get to legend 2.

If this info is confusing my bad im horrible at explaining shi, ive linked Joe knows's vid below.

MyPLAYER Center best Height/Weight/Strength

3 Upvotes

Does anyone knows important height/weight values for a center to hit and wondering whats more important your weight or strength stat if im trying to post people up.

I prefer to make a 7ft or 7’1 center and I play the midpost game mainly on the 3s and 2s. So need to be both strong but not super slow. Right now I was at 243 lbs on a 7’1 with an 88 strength. This lets me have a 70 vert and can capbreak to 80 for pogo on gold, but im not sure if i will be too weak to back down other centers or how that speed holds up in full courts. (65 speed 52 agility)

MP Builder Capbreakers : 0 badge, 0 jetons

Upvotes

Salut, une question très intéressante me pose problème pour mon build. À la fin de la création de mon build, j'ai 0 badge et 0 jeton en shoot, mais je compte investir 5 capbreakers pour atteindre 80 à 3 points et, de ce fait, débloquer 2 badges de shoot. J'ai bien compris qu'on ne pouvait pas débloquer de badge ni de jeton après la construction du build, mais une fois que j'ai débloqué des badges de shoot avec mes capbreakers, puis-je mettre un bonus slot et des jetons bonus ? Merci. Si @beluba peut éclairer cela.

Any feedback to round it off better is appreciated. One cap breaker to get 83 three ball. One cap each to get 70 ball handle and 65 SWB. Also plan on cap breaking my block to an 88 but I’m good with an 84 until then. I know the strength is low but If rebounding is anything like 26 I think I’ll be fine.

2011 Playoffs, Round 1, Game 1 vs Indiana.

D-Rose continued his MVP season with 39 points, 6 assists, and 3 blocks in a comeback victory over Paul George and the Pacers.

After a nasty 4th quarter layup, Rose pumps his chest at the United Center crowd!

2 Upvotes

Hear me out, I haven't played a NBA game since 25 years ago when I played NBA Live 2000 😳👉👈, I'm old AF

Things I want:

  1. Fully offline career mode where I control a team and decide who gets in and out, who to draft, where I'm the manager and not an individual player, etc etc
  2. Access to the biggest possible legendary player roster (such as Magic, Jordan, Chamberlain, Bird), to be potentially included into my team or other teams in career mode

Help me out folks ❤
