Strength seems to be like the deciding factor. Every build that was majorly effected requires strength. Those playshot builds don’t have strength but it’s going to HOPEFULLY show this year.

Agreed. I don’t think the ACTUAL stat matters too much more than it already has, but the fact that some of these new badges like “big driver” require a certain level of strength and even a lot of defensive badges requiring it now will make a huge difference

@DEADTXWNnot this year, you need strength to get a lot of badges. Can’t wait to see you 6’9 cheesers fold when you can’t speed boost and have no strength for big driver or defensive badges

Hank, remember that in 2k24 the badges are difficult to get and the animations too, the attributes might be similar to 2k23 but in 2k23 you could get all the playmaking badges in hof with those attributes but in 24 it’s not the case, also in 24 you need to have a decent amount of acceleration, speed and speed with ball to have the speedbosting badge at least on gold, whoever in 23 you only needed to have a 75 speed with ball and a 89 ball handling for the quick first step badge HOF. Conclusion: the builder on 24 is strict for all positions.

This is such a massive 2K W I can’t even believe it. Finally there’s some justice for the undersized guys

Great vid. I don’t think 2k wants little builds to takeover; I think they wanted to just tone down the amount of big builds who could do everything. It was really unfortunate that the 6’9 build was so overpowered bc even as a center a 6’9 with high 80s block could contest you. Now, if you want to go taller as a guard or even SF, then it’s going to cost.

@frederikbrandt424

9 ай бұрын

Exactly like it should be. Size is the #1 most important thing, so it makes perfect sense that undersized builds should be able to get extra attributes in comparison to make up for it

I did sit at 2k23 last night with my 24 screen shots and threw them through 23 😂 Nice to see a video on it. nice work.

This a good video Hank..a video alot of ppl thought to make but just didn’t have the energy to actually do it

It may have more to do with Defense and rebounding since the little guards didn’t have any and all the bigger builds did.

So I did a very similar build comparison between 24 and 23 with a KD Build and from my perspective it just seems that having defense is weighted WAY MORE on 24. So I do not think it’s because they are small guards that they have the same build on both games. But it’s the fact that they have no defense which is weighted differently.

From what I’m seeing in the 2k24 builder on the small guards I feel like if you just get them minimums for gold badges for shooting and playmaking there will be room for good defense will have to see tho …every build I seen on small guards they all went 99 three 95 ball handle 91 speed with ball 87 pass accuracy I’m thinking if you just do 94 three for all gold badges besides limitless range and just a 92 ball handle and 83 speed with ball for almost all gold in playmaking then leave finishing alone I feel like there will be alot of attributes left for defense…I haven’t seen any build on 2k24 try that out

I've been playing around doing this exact experiment. Test out some of the new NBA templates and it's a different story. Interestingly when I used the Joker nba template from 24, I was maxed out at 99 before I could even begin upgrading the physicals in the 23 builder. So my hypothesis is that because high level stats (eg 90+) get expensive, you cant make an all round OP goat build. But if you make a 75 to 85 in everything type of build, with the way the badges are all equipped together and stacking, those could be a new meta. Not goated at anything, but can do everything at a solid if not good rate.

This was actually a really interesting video ✅

This was a real good video bro. You didn’t even have to do this but good looks. Helped bring clarity to a lot of things. ❤.

Fantastic video my guy. I myself was surprised at how high some of these guard builds were in stats and have long been wanting that the bigger size builds get an attribute penalty since they got size on their side. Great detective work!

Good find.

the small guard builds are not better because the attribute caps are higher

It means that defense and strength contribute more to your overall then it used to. Doesnt necessarily mean its a nerf. As long as the payout from actual gameplay makes it worth it, it theoretically should even out.

What about the small guards with dunks? You cant get dunks on small guards anymore .

Great vid 💯

I’ve been telling people this for the last 2 years… I noticed it in NBA2K21 NBA2K devs trick the community into believing they have full control over their players by taking away more and more attribute points and adding more and more badges into the game… I noticed a 99 wasn’t a real 99 back in NBA2K19 but what I really started noticing was… In NBA2K22 a 99 3 pointer put your player’s overall high as heck! I then came up with the theory that 2K developers trick their own community by adding more and more new badges into the game and decreasing the overall attribute points we get… All the while raising the prices of vc each and every year… It’s a full on scam

W video Hanky

I have a 6'1 3pt playmaker in 2k23 with ---- 93 3... 92 bh... 90 pass acc... 85 stl/per .. 89 dd... I can't wait to find out how it compares because it does have good defense compared to what you showed here. ( it was a rec build ). This year I'm definitely ignoring the red section on my PG!

W Video, best one yet

I like that the attributes stayed the same. The only thing they really needed to do was implement badge requirements better, which they seemed to do. 6’9 players can’t speed boost now. And you also need to actually give them strength to get big driver or any good defensive badges. Trust me, it’s not the same this year

That’s cool small guards took a hit last year so it’s only right the wings and bigs take the hit this year

The badges is also another factor when it comes to attributes

W. Lets see now if they updated the build matrix on launch day…

Hanky The Horsey

Can we see the same for all heights? So 6”5 , 6”6, 6”11, 7”0

Good video. Way better than lots of garbage demigod build video from other content creators.

From hind sight it looks like small guards are “Demi’s” like in 2k23 but they’re not. Badge requirements are higher but also 2k24 is based around strength and finishing from what it looks like, and no small guard will be able to get fluke stops on defense like last year. We’ll be even more of a liability on one end of the court.

Cant wait for Hankus da Tankus to hit 1 mil in 24!

That mean upgrading a player better be cheaper !💯

You can't build Luka or Jokic's 2k24 build template in 2k23 so I don't think it's necessarily to do with heights that got nerfed. It's something to do with how the stats are distributed that was nerfed. Passing seems to be cheaper for all builds is one thing that is different.

Making a 6”4 lock build

I also realized this too Joe Knows 99 three point “Curry”build I couldn’t make it in 23 the “Jokic” template build u can’t make in 23 it’s wild

Man I trusted you last year and I gave my brother a build you made but it had no defense the reason I trusted you because you gave me tnat two way playmaker in 2k22 and it was 🔥

They gotta buff the defense tho, to even it out. If not those little guard are gonna dunk everything.

Where you get the 2k24 mp builder

No even if the little guards get the same attributes they have different badges. 92 3 only gets you silver limitless. The playmaking badges all drop down a tier or two from 23 to 24. Look at it a little deeper next time

Getting Gold Glove, 92 Ball Handle, 92 3, Contact Dunks then really good speed, accel, & stamina. Or my 6’2 that got 92 Driving Dunk, 95 Ball Handle, 85 3, & over 20 Defensive Badges I am aware though that Strength, Driving Dunk, Limitless Range (3PT), & Unpluckable (Ball Handle) all have higher thresholds in 2K24…

Tall guards only had shine for 1 year. I swear 2k always try and push short guards. Every 2k I always seem to find a tall demon so it don’t matter 💯
