I think it’s worth it for the better deflections on hands up defense alone as a big when you’re in good defensive position and guys have to pass out, bump steals against guys running into you etc happen way more frequently imo.

Love that you still love this game, but I probably won't play 2k ever again. Spent so much real life money making builds just for them to change the game all the time. They've never put out a complete game since 2018 when I started. Just too many other fun games But I appreciate all the help you've given me along the way. I'll come back to your channel if I play it again

For sure if you are tired of 2K definitely step away from it and do things you will enjoy

One of the most valid vids on steal I've seen so far. You showing that u don't need HOF interceptor to get passing lanes etc. Sometimes ppl don't think their skill is the issue. I've yet to learn how to steal on my 6'7 lock with only bronze badges.

Yo Tonic big fan of your vids. I've been meaning to ask, what hop jumper are you using for your 6'8 lock?

Tonic, which build was that in LakerFan's latest? You were running the 2/3 but I dont think you have it on your channel.

Put some respect on tonic underrated always putting on for the bigs,the man ain't 184-10 in the park for nothing 💪

video needed, thanks

Having 70 and right stick ripper is crazy on my 6'11" even better on my 6'10" where I stack it with glove at 72

Is it worth going up to my max? I’m 7ft and maxed would be 67. Is it going to help animations more frequently?

If I can’t get it to 81 I don’t mess with it. If you’re playing a lane with 60 you better be sure you get the intercept with your reach or you’re gonna be stumbling 10 feet out of position. I prefer at least 81 and just spam when a pass might be coming and recover if it doesn’t happen.

the key was "well timed"...they'll eventually take the lanes spam out the game, either this year, next year, or further down the line.

Yeah with 60 you definitely have to time it right or you are going to give up a free bucket

@@TonicKeyboard Just a question since i have a center but can't seem to counter standing dunks that is at high lvls no matter if i have my hands up or jump 9 times out of 10 so i'm wondering if your near a center can the steal make the other center drop the ball/not catch it correctly or is there another thing i can do ?I tried high interior and high dunking stats too.

Yes interceptor is a must imo

Mozart tonic - nice touch.

if someone can tell me what is better in my center, gold chase down artist or silver chase down artist with bronze interceptor jajaja I don’t know which one to choose

It’s conflicting information cuz Lakerfan says Perimeter Defense is more important so he doesn’t touch steals. He’d rather go for perimeter cuz thru out the game you’ll be in pick & roll defense, you’ll have to pick up, switch, rotate etc. I say go for higher perimeter than 60 steal.

Laker never goes for steals, so he doesn't need it

Good idea! I got a 72 steal on my 6'8 so I can get bronze. Sometimes its enough, sometimes its not lol.

Yeah when you miss a steal with 60 you really miss 😂

I have a 33 steal I don’t go for steals or pass lanes but playing good defense I get 2 a game

So my 6'8 2way diming three level scorer got int, pick and right stick on bronze. Would it just be better to get bronze int and leave out the bronze int and pick?

Yeah you won't get much use out of bronze glove and right stick ripper. If you could get them to silver though they work pretty well on that level

I heard right stick ripper helps with lane steals. So why not add that extra 10 to steal?

Is hof right stick ripper still worth it? On the fence between 95 and 96 steal on my 6'8 park big

As a 7foot would you go no steal and 70 layup or 70 steal and 55 layups

72 mid 60 steal or 84 mid 25 steal (my 3 is 87)

Yelp but I think everyone on the crt should have a steal

I have a similar build 60 is worth it. Makes no sense how build name is just 3 level threat 😂 The build names for 6’11 make no sense
