Strength is op this year. It was good last year but this year it's a must have for any build. I have a 6'6 SG with 85 strength and gold immovable enforcer. Guards do not get by me and bigs get bumped too. I think at least 72 strength is a must have

[@BeybladeDbzFan]

Yeah 85 strength is op with 85 perimeter they should get silver max

[@Goxilla]

@@BeybladeDbzFan I got 85 strength and 85 peri def. You get up to gold

Yeah. I have 83 strength on my 6'7 with immovable enforcer boosted to gold. Hard for anyone to get by me.

What’s your agility and speed

[@jdubthetruthwillbemadeknown]

If weight affects stamina.. that means the heavier you are the slower because you cant maintain your top speed as long as the low weight build

[@mbeamon11]

They should invite this man to community day

[@brettrobbins2707]

So to make it clear, weight gives higher strength cap which in turn gives you badges that give blowbys or prevent blowbys, dont go in thinking weight doesnt matter for that.

[@isiight.]

6’6 240 with legend immovable can confirm strength is amazing this year. But tutes we really need a dimer test.

[@RolzareTTV]

Facts bro I only got Silver but I be pushing dudes out of bounds sometimes and some cant blow by me as easy

[@LetsGetIntoTech]

Same on 2k24. If you ever made a heavy build you’d know. Going shorter and heavier with the same attributes or more makes you slower.

[@Beckst]

We need a Speed with Ball comparison.

[@General505]

Dude. I was just wondering if you were going to drop a video on weight THIS MORNING. Appreciate it!!!!

[@kuruptzZz]

Tutes you're the MVP. Glad to know my lightweight PF can mostly hold his own, because his strength is still 83

[@lewthatruth3742]

I just figured weight was just for the esthetic especially if you don’t raise the strength but now I see it’s actually for the stamina and back down defense.

[@just_tom00]

so "realistic" that weight and height doesn't effect physicals. makes so much sense 2k....

Weight makes a huge difference to stamina. If you’re strong your stamina is done end of 3rd Q.

[@oceanhudson]

nevermind stamina , check how heavier bigs JUMP. i noticed my heavier build seems to jump waaay slower than my lower weight builds and with less of a launch .

[@johnsonswanson2138]

It does, been that way for awhile. The smaller body type is more springy

[@oceanhudson]

@@johnsonswanson2138 for sure . it’s annoying because I also witness 7footers jump out of the gym and i’m wondering what kind of physics are behind that 😂

[@sage_no_gemini]

Break starter is useless if you're not a build that gets consistent rebounds. They should have made it to where it works if you're in the back court with the ball while your teammates are running down also smh

[@kingofarrything768]

Weight makes you slower a lot!!! And I put my strength up a bit too… with my other physicals!!! It didn’t matter… never will make my weight heavy again!!

[@AllBackends]

he just showed you weight has no effect on your speed lol

[@jstar0737]

As I should. No reason 94 swb be slower because of weight. If that’s the case then it should be displayed as such.

[@ragnaraybrok]

My 6 foot 2, almost max weight build seems slower than other pgs, the stamina thing affect my player quite a lot since i have legendary 3pts, steal, and interceptor, cant spam steals and difficult to make space for 3s, stamina drains too quickly. I think a lot of people know this already but just to put it out there and i think its gon help new players, i think that 2 way 3 pts build (3pts and steals) is better when your character is lighter because consistently making space and moving around dribbling and spamming steals drains stamina really quickly while 2 way rim attacking build (dunks and steals) is better for heavier character since you need speed and ball handle to surpass defender. Unfortunately, mine is fat (i just like bigger build) and like to shoot 3 so i made a mistake :(. However, I get through screens quite quickly

[@MajinFoo803]

If y’all wanna helpful hint your weight can help with strength it just won’t show in regards to attributes. I played with a 200lb same 82 speed 78 agility sf then tried a 204 81 speed 77 agility and although I explode faster with the first one I see the difference on how the 204 handles contact

[@AstuteExxy]

Makes your screens stronger and the bully animations too

[@mjrkidsvids7899]

Test high perimeter with low strength vs Low perimeter high strength... to judge cut offs And GLOVE

[@jaquanndewberry3456]

your stamina affects your attributes, so weight is important

[@jonathanjohnson6869]

This is a great analysis

[@AkaZeusOG]

I was wondering about this cause my 6’6 236 pound lock feels slow at times even with 83 speed and 86 agility, I guess it’s the game not the weight, great video! 💯

[@saiyah-]

strength on drives is op against someone with little strength. people literally just run at you and get a free blow by even if you stand right in front of them

[@RomeoKojo]

Saw this while playing around but I’m pretty sure body types effect your movement or dribbling in some capacity… when dribbling with the compact body type I felt a lot more fluid and agile vs when I equipped the muscular body type…

[@Joonicakes]

Court closest to rec timing? Would love to know. Preciate you.

[@nba2ktutes]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@ThinkingCap_]

I have two pure locks, one is 90 speed/92 agility and 85 strength at 6'6 (232ish lbs) he's a thick boi The other is a 6'7 with 90 speed and 86 agility at 212 lbs and is skinny, also at 85 strength Both have HOF immovable enforcer and almost identical badges The thick boi really honestly does noticeably better at forcing stops. I don't know if this is specifically due to the 20 lbs difference or the sheer size difference of the body types. A body type test is needed

trust me it’s the body type burly bro OP asf its an obvious eye test for me

[@ismaelramos6410]

Does strength help fight better through screens?

[@r.and.a]

Does it affect shooting and dribbling animations?

[@Hproawesome]

the only difference is more weight mean you get less speed and agility in the builder

[@eligreg99]

I wasn’t feeling the minimum weight for speed anymore and went 232 for my 6’8 SF. I feel like I can still guard 2-4 pretty well even the 5

[@raynorman6618]

I got no strength on my center,,but i got high speed,agility,steal and vertical for my 7ft. You can cover dam Near the whole court with your quickness and wingspan for tht size. Gotta be skilled to use the build, most fun center i ever made.

[@abuse721]

Can you do a vid about the difference between a lower three point rating and higher one and how it effects you makes would be appreciated

[@CZX3]

Difficulty Based shot timing vs high risk in offline park modes since it is lower difficulty supposedly

[@13perspectives]

Can you show the effects of height on speed/movement? I always feel like my taller builds move slower even if they have the same speed

[@TheOverpowered1]

how about boxouts? or will you test weight in your rebounding video or rebound chaser or boxout beast video?

[@royalkrown]

So are you saying that regardless of my weight, if I have an 85 speed, i will move just as fast as someone with lower weight and same speed?

[@eligreg99]

Hmm Now this makes me want to use cap breaker for 85 speed. I have an 80 right now.

Nah weight really has a factor

@@Ralph3able I’m 6’8 232lbs with a 80 speed and 76 with ball. I move at a pretty decent pace. If I would change anything it would probably be my speed with ball.

Weight affects vertical for sure I have one 265 Pound PF with 95 vert and he jumps like he has 80 vertical my PF that’s 235 with 93 vertical jumps out the gym.

[@Unknown46735]

Does strength have anything to do with getting fighting through screens as a lock ?

[@louielou6294]

So strength only matters for bigs who like to back down. Cool so 82 Strength is what I’m going with on my Centers & PF’s. 78 Perimeter is the threshold & more than enough for cut offs. Only people who back down are post scorers and we don’t really see them much.

[@nba2ktutes]

strength has some other functions

[@discombobulatedNUT]

Go at least 91 for centers. Helps with rebounding/defense and gets you great badges

[@Goxilla]

a high strength rating helps to clamp ppl down and drain their energy.

[@JdfkK-nl4vz]

he’s talking weight only. Strength has a bunch of functions.

[@GNSLMoody]

I have weight, I made my build smaller with Gatorade drills instead of bulky, I slip by people and move faster alot more often then not

I haven’t played 2k in a while and your videos helped me get back into the swing of things. So I just had to give you a follow for the good work.

Cool u looked in to this! Now what does the detail of a jumpshot mean? Timing stability? Is it really working?? And is shooting broken becourse, pretty much lights out shooter, and no matter what it will say slightly late or slighty early, but after a lay or dunk i can shoot again?

So are every stat the same between the too tests? Speed agility and strength? Because if wight changes those base caps I would imagine it changes the interactions between them. Just like how 2k can fix one thing while breaking something else on the back end.
