How much VERT are you putting on your builds?

[@noobadventures5412]

67 for 7'3 center build for gold rise up

[@dregamingz]

Can you do steal for intercepting passes? Not just the interceptor badge because I’m wondering if I can still get in the lanes with a 72 steal.

[@BingTheKing]

80

[@SwooshGxd]

[@xavierbanks2156]

80-85 just feels a little more snappy with and without the ball but rebounding is where it shines most

[@montibiris]

Vertical affects a lot of rebounds, the way you can grab it over your opponent. Also a lot more blocks and better block animations with a higher vert.

[@rantonydarealest4872]

I agree with you, I think Ima remake my rebounder and put a higher vert and higher o rebound on it too, it doesn’t catch any o boards because I have a 57 o board with 80 vert

[@JayyLowe]

Great vid! Rebounding is for sure the hardest to test, but apart from unlocking dunk animations... it's the stat most affected by vert... night and day when jumping over other centers

[@killianpage6729]

Very helps you get up higher on close shots and O-Boards and if you have touch passer and high vert you can throw outlets before hitting the ground or go back up if it’s an O boatd

[@ayeeewood]

Glad you said it bc you can have higher rebound, higher vert, more strength, and yet still get swim moved by a defender or out jumped while being taller. This game be making zero sense at times lol

[@anthonygomez9918]

I always say that if your against a smaller player the game just punished you most of the time and doesn't let you jump at all and the other small player (if it has a high vert) will out jump you so bad...

[@femto9886]

Yo I literally needed this video there’s no way 😭 thanks a lot bro I was searching all of yesterday but no videos were made yet.

[@ayehills]

I have two C builds one with 88 vert and the other with 70. The 88 vert helps with those in the paint “press jump at the last second to snatch block” kind of situations . The 70 vert doesn’t help with rebounds as my guy won’t jump up and grab the ball at the apex more like if it falls in his direction. But my 88 vert center I can press jump when it hits the rim and he will do the animation where he reaches out with one hand and grabs it at the highest ish point

[@Dane1mike]

I got a 6’7 Zion pf build and the 86 vert helps a lot with rebounding over taller players

[@hossrendricks1716]

vertical gets you higher rebound animations. It’s like getting contact dunk animations. I’m not sure at what rating it happens but I know it does. At least in past 2ks. In 22 and 23 I had a big with and without high vert. The vert made a difference undoubtedly. The only problem is knowing when the explosive rebound animations get unlocked.

[@datcrazyyduude3178]

I agree with everything you just said. I’ve been maining a Rodman like build these past two years with high rebounding and 90ish vert and I get CRAZY rebounding animations over bigs. It’s super fun and was hoping it’d get covered in this video.

[@TheAliali375]

I've gotten explosive rebounds with a 70 vert. Higher vert probably just raises the frequency.

[@hossrendricks1716]

@@TheAliali375 If that’s the case, I’d say it’s worth it. Rebounds are so crucial.

[@ashkeygii9449]

Facts. There's a sweet spot every year and I'm trying to figure it out for my 6'8. 92 vert has him not jumping at all and only jumps to the ceiling when there's 0 chance of a block or rebound. 84 vert is great on the 6'8 as last year, I found 84 worked best. 90 vert is also great on my 6'8 this, but is EXCELLENT on my 6'7. He jumps super high for the boards, probably better than my 6'8 and 6'9. I just want to know what's the sweet spot for the 6'8. I assume that you need less vert if you're taller, so the sweet spot has to be between 83-89 😮‍💨. Ugh

[@lucwijngaard8413]

As with most other stats balance is key, these video's along with comments from players definitely help to find the sweetspot for each one

[@tyham2493]

I’m on a 6 9 power forward with 86 vertical and lemme tell you the snatch blocks and rebounding animations I get are unreal lol

[@TheTopStarz]

Appreciate the info!

[@BriskettSkywalker]

I have an 80 vert on my glass cleaning inside/out threat, which is the same rating I used on my last build for 2k23. The extra bump in vert definitely helps this year; I can tell the difference because other people I know with similar height/rebounding arent getting as many boards. I agree it isnt a huge boost, but could be the thing that gices you the advantage against a matchup with similar attributes. 80 seems like the sweet spot for bigs, as it allows ypu to unlock Gold Chasedown I believe in addition to the lil bump to your rebounding.

[@nba2ktutes]

Solid points! Thanks for sharing!

[@safetyfirst2146]

What's your rebound stats

[@TheHighV]

Needed to test this on rebounding and straight up jump contests

[@shinoblitz9641]

I like how they made physical attributes work with the player skills to unlock badges but tbh they could go farther with that if they simple make the lower your skill is the higher chance you’ll get a foul or another negative penalty for it. Example on offense low dunk rating will mean someone can block you easier or you’ll mess up the dunk if you have low ball handle you can’t do a lot of dribble moves and it’ll be easier to steal the ball from you. Pair both of those with physicals and it’s like ok high strength low dunk means you catch a charge foul by trying to dunk over someone but instead jumping right into them, low vertical with high dunk means flashy dunks but no contact dunks, high speed/acceleration with low ball handle means if you want to speed boost or sprint a lot with the ball you might trip yourself up cause you’re not good at controlling the ball while using all your speed resulting in a loose ball or a pick up. On defense of you have a. Low steal for one if you try to steal a lot instead of it just not working it should give you the foul, that would stop players from spamming it looking for a lucky pluck like if you have low steal don’t even try or you’re gonna foul out or give free points (or both), high block but low vertical could mean you’re great at blocking ppl your height and below cause you can accurately knock the ball off course so they miss but against ppl with high vertical or taller players you simply can’t reach the ball to block it, high strength and high vertical would help prevent players from dunking on you because not only can you just high enough to contest but you have the strength to contest the momentum the dunker is coming with(either the dunk will fail or the dunker gets knocked out of the animation and forced into a layup). Physicals could be so much more and it would open up more ways to play like if there was a guarantee way to prevent players from contact dunking on you im sure a lot of players would want that. It would also give way to more animation’s possibly like block animations, are you more of the put your hand in the way so the ball stops maybe you can get some snatch blocks with those or are you more of a flashy fly swatter reader to send shots on a first class trip to the other side of the court? Maybe you’re a crafty blocker so instead of sending it down you send it up that way it’s still within range of a being rebounded instead of flying out of bounds for the reset which almost always gives the ball to the other team.

[@RocknRobby]

OC

[@trentonveselka2018]

That's a lot of words

[@konkon4488]

Bro 2K already takes low/high ratings into account - it all affects which animations play out. For example, if you have a low layup/dunk rating, it makes it much easier for a defender to get a block or contest. Same logic applies to ball handling & steals, and pretty much any other situation. Your attributes & the defenders attributes are all taken into consideration & dictate which animations play out

[@AmarianLegacyEditsALE]

Tutes make a video about mid range and what rating you need to shoot consistently ‼️

[@jayprinceDTown214]

Vert absolutely helps on rebounding. I usually keep it at 85 and up on all of my builds and I know the bigs get mad in the rec when I pull 15 boards with a 6'8 wing with silver or gold rebound chaser😅

[@Has4848]

[@jwhfab]

[@kingj.q.198]

I've tested the rebounding for you and trust me everybody you need vertical if you want to snag boards over your opponent. Especially combined with a low rebounding rating. It makes a huge difference. . Still great video Tutes, keep up the great work.🔥💯

[@shannonwinthrop3302]

Thats what i noticed. Higher rebounds effect your ability to grab boards. Like that hedi "force" if snagging the ball from somebody higher than you is the higher rebound. But if you're coming in with 60s rebound, pairing it with a high vert lets you jump higher. Too low of a rebound and it wont let you jump, though. Mid 60s is probably the sweet spot.
