[@sergxi1748]

IMO 2k17 had one of the most FUN player builders because you could get every badge in the game on bronze and archetypes could get their respective badges to HoF. This made it feel like your player was actually a 90-something overall NBA player that was decent at everything on the court but was also elite at the archetype they chose. So a sharpshooter could still dribble, drive and play defense decently but only the sharpshooter was elite at shooting over defenders or from deep. Same goes for all the other archetypes

Believe it or not, 2k10 and 11 Crew mode was very similar to what you are describing. You could literally save your player for other people to download as well and continue to build on stats of real nba players, and your player looked exactly like whoever you wanted in the game.

For the next gen builder I want attribute caps to unlock every tier of badge not just gold and hall of fame. It doesn’t make sense that a 62 steal can get you 3 tiers of a badge but you need a high 80s to get it hof. It allows more builds to be unique depending on how you want to play

The most important thing when making a build for me is being able to unlock as many animations as possible and then letting my skill make up for the rest.

[@Ckproduction03]

So spamming broken animations is skillful 😂 this is the primary reason the gameplay sucks and isn’t fun to watch

[@Ans3ra]

@@Ckproduction03 I want to be able to unlock any animation because it gives me the most options to customize my player. I put the rest into defense and shooting because my skill can make up for having relatively low shooting and defense. If your dribbling and finishing aren't high enough, you can't magically unlock those effective animations.

[@neem4906]

I think the concept for next gen was the best my player builder idea in 2k history, it was just a couple small errors with it that made it op where every build and position could do everything and have no weaknesses🤦🏽‍♂️ but I loved the idea of being able to fully customize your own player

[@neem4906]

@Clyde Wellington no the idea is great, just how they designed it was bad😂 I like the idea of being able to fully customize your own build, but at the same time there should be limits, no fucking way u should be able to get a 95 dunk, 95 3pt, 95 handle, & 95 perimeter defense & steal all on the same build🤦🏽‍♂️

Thank you Joe for helping the 2k community with there builds I've had so much fun making builds that you recommend I appreciate it

[@damedashn2139]

I know this video is a month old and this is an unpopular opinion, but 2k14 is a couple tweaks away from the best builder ever in my opinion. It was so simple, but I loved that you could pick your play style and your caps reflected it, but you could still do everything else at a very high level regardless of what you picked, but if you picked athletic for instance you had a higher dunk/speed than any other play style but lower shooting caps, and you could still shoot at a respectable level once you maxed out your 3/middy and even before then. Vice verse with the 3 point specialist and so on. It just made sense if you know what I mean. You could only have 7 badges equipped at one time, which I was a fan of. It made everyone a little different because you had to pick and choose badges and play styles. I’m probably a little bias but 14-16 where the golden years of 2k imo. The gameplay was just flat out better than anything they have made since.

I feel like 2k has always modeled the best build of their game kind of what their cover star was. 2k15 you had 7ft SFs which was KD, 2k21 next gen you got 6'7 PFs which is Zion, 2k21 current gen you got playshots which is Dame.

[@cameronfrizzell3978]

19 and 20 were the best builders for diversity (19 and 18 were more different than joe remebers as the badges were a alot different). I think the next gen has potential but we need even upgrades across builds and a set number of total badges

[@trentonmayfield1457]

I get what you’re trying to say but 19 and 18 were the exact same builder

[@cameronfrizzell3978]

@@trentonmayfield1457 at the surface yes double arch same arches yadda yadda, but the different badges and badges based on position really Opened up more builds. Lots of builds got additional shooting badges for example which really helped create more diversity in builds and all around improved the builder. A good example whould be instead of only 6’10 sf locks we got a bunch of 6’8 sg locks because corner spec was silver instead of bronze for sg. We also had more guards using shot creating somewhere as it had more shooting badges then before

I’m tired of stuff Jumpshots like base 98 they need to bring back the high jumping bases and the high arc releases… Just because a few people complained about stretch bigs being able to jump high… That’s what made the game fun… It was a little annoying but that’s what made 2K 2K… I wish they bring back base 11 one day…

I would love a Achertype Builder where you can change a little bit the stats you wanna have higher

[@OGFlynnJohnson]

I like the freedom of next gen builder, obv needs to be tweaked a little but I think it’s the best we’ve seen. On the other hand i’ve always been a fan of the idea of 2k19 builder, but add a third arch so your primary is HOF, secondary Gold/silver and tertiary is silver/bronze depending on how your archs matchup with one another.

how to make the best build system go with 2k19 instead of the 1/19 or whatever they were using make it 60 to 99 add the varius other attributes that we have in like 2k23 but make sure they mean something and for the two skills you choose you have a minimum amount of attribute points you have to add to the catigories and if you go the minimun in the categories you can add it in one of the three other categories or you can make 60 to 95 the minimum and 96 to 99 the extra attribute points in the other categories

[@zacportorreal]

Body length was actually what makes you secretly giannis it makes your legs longer naturally faster distance coverage and your dunk layup animations from farther and faster bring it back

[@mullymullyt]

It shouldn't be surprising that the PF as a position has Quick first step on HOF. It should be surprising that there isn't a set threshold as "90 speed with ball at any position get HOF quick first step" because Giannis & Bron speed with ball is that high & he's a PF

[@TheDarberry]

Could it be a good idea to keep the next gen builder? ( I liked how you can make some crazy builds) But make the badge spread more balanced? (So not PF all builds) Or like 25 not being the lowest value having it raised to 40 ?

I never hated the 2K18/19 Builder tbh. I really wish they gave us a chance with that builder without the Road to 99. I think the possibilities would've been endless without having to grind the whole (Legend grind) to 99 to see the build at it's full potential. It was really annoying for guys like me who loved playing on multiple builds but you had to wait till like 96 ovr on certain builds to get your speedboosting cap breaker for example.
