I feel like you wanna use cap breakers on stats that drive a lot of badges and max +1 on what doesnt. Like for a small guard you wanna cap break 3pt and use max +1 on lightning launch since its the only badge tied to SWB
Yea I should clarify a lot of the video is more specifically to show what theirs each height will be getting. But you make an A+ point. Luckily the badge maxes aren’t permanent, and don’t have to stay. You can change them around according to the devs
But u don’t wanna make you build base on cap breakers bc we don’t know how far in the rep system when we would get the cap breakers and we don’t know how long
Legend Lighting launch is way to valuable to use ur max +1 on, if it’s a big difference in speed then ur build is now pay to win because now ur build is relying on you purchasing the season pass and leveling it up early so ur build is as fast as it should be.
I think it'd be really interesting to make a 6'9 "Giannis" style build with 75 SWB (Silver LL - Max +1'd to Gold) and then give him 84 Strength (HOF Strong Handle - Max +1'd to Legend) and do some hopefully nasty rim running. Just gonna depend on how viable that play style is.
After running around with silver handles for days all last year…I’m definitely using it on that for hof or legend. I done with the asthma attacks. ✌🏽😎✌🏽
Using the max +1 on Gold Set Shot Specialist completely changed how my 7’1 stretch played. Wish I could’ve gotten limitless as well. All 7’ need to be using Yves Missi base 🤫
overall the movement is good so a 85 P.D makes you lock up most guards i think if your a iso build put lightning launch up gold is decent but hof make me go crazy
just double checking so for the plus 1 you dont need any of the requirements for the badge into the level ur going to want? (example) if my build has 96 driving dunk and 85 vert for hof i can use the plus 1 for legandary posterizer right?
What if I had a Bronze High flying denier on a 6'4 guard would it be a good idea to use it there for defensive purposes and would I gain better blocking animations doing so?
@lakerfan do you know why as a 6’1 guard the only max plus 1 badges i can put my tier 2 on are oddball pest and arial wizard when i currently have silver diner?
Gold lightning launch from +1 on a 6’9 undersized center sounds pretty sick. I’ll probably mix it with Poster +1 to LEGEND because I’m a sick f%!? who wants to catch body’s
Glad this is here for me to get a better understanding but im def playing MyTeam start of the yr (im more knowledgeable) then waiting for ppl to find out the best animations, jumpshots, etc. 😭 have a base idea on my build but wanna wait for ppl smarter than me to get the game first
Yo question for max 1+ perk is it for every category like Finishing Defense Shooting and playmaking as in we can upgrade 2 badges from each category or its just only 2 badges out of all your badges
I need a thorough explanation of the cap breakers. Iike if i have a 97 3pt and use the cap breaker on that since its only going up 2 does that mean i would have 3 left for another category or does all 5 have to be set to one category and it use all 5 even if its only taking it up by 2?
@hiimmike500 oh ok cool, most videos make it seem like once u put it on a category it all goes to that category so i was just wondering... appreciate the info
You get 15 total, can spend 5 max on one attribute. These are also probably very high level rewards so I’d save those min max builds for when you actually have those unlocked, otherwise you’re gonna be at a disadvantage
@@lebronjamesfromdwade4103 yea im not gonna completely make a build relying on that to make it good i was just wondering if u can spend them freely but i understand all the other things like how many u get and how u get them but thanks for the input appreciate it
Laker can you add the plus 1 to things you don’t even have a badge for at all. Like say I make a 5’9. And I wanna throw paint patroller on bronze. Could I? Or does it only qualify for badges you have already
So say if I’m a 6”9 wing with sliver on ball menace , I can use my Max +1 to make that badge gold correct even if i don’t meet the requirements in the builder ???
Can you max+1 a tier 2 badge (that you don't have) to bronze? For example you have no driving dunk upgraded so no posterizer. But can you max +1 to get it to bronze?
Is there something we're missing with Versatile Visionary? 2K seems to be valuing that badge crazy high with tiers and it costs 97 pass acc just to get it HoF. Seems like Needle Threader and Special Delivery rolled into one but I'm unsure why they're making it this expensive.
My thoughts exactly. I think I had this gold last year and the same attribute this year only unlocks bronze. The special delivery is more or less a toss away badge so how OP is needle threader?!
These are the type of nerdy videos I've been missing in my sports games! They don't tell us sh*t anymore we're just supposed to teach ourselves smh. Mlb the show is the absolute worst at this but 2k is up there too
Yes the +1 perk allow you to move any badge up by 1 without having to meet the requirements or you can grind to starter 3 to get your first +5 cap breaker and use that but either one works.
Literally had guards with NO speed booster or speed with ball that could hesi boost and 21 speed boost the same way. If lightning launch doesn’t matter u can save a lotta attributes
This might sound dumb but if you make a build that can get let’s say high flying defender but don’t up stats to get it even on bronze can +1 badge to get it on bronze?
Okay so I got a pretty balanced build he can only get mostly silver badges. So every new season I can put +1 and get multiple gold badges? Cuz then my build would be solid af if someone could clear this up I’d appreciate it a lot
@ohuhoopinhoopin Do you have to have the attribute to 99 to elevate it to legend? Do you know about max +1? I want to go 96 steal on a guard and max+1 it to legend but don't know if I can...
@@Rams8148 you can do that. Max +1 tier 2 badges at 15 & tier 1 at 30 so it’s possible but remember they reset after the season ends so you’ll go back to HOF and have to do it again in season 2.
+1 badge perk lets you upgrade any badge to the next level without meeting the requirements. Example if you have a badge that max out at silver if you use a +1 perk you can get it to gold without having any requirements. If you have a badge that max out at HOF with the +1 perk you can get it to legend with no requirements. Cap breakers, for example if you have a attribute like rebound chaser at for example 85 offensive rebound is what you max out at, with cap breakers which gives you a +5 to any attribute you can add the 5 point to the 85 and now get 90 on your rebound or any attributes you want, but you have to be a starter 3 to get your first cap breaker.
As a big man, has anyone noticed rebound chaser being OP? Right now I’m on silver, with a 96 offensive RB I average like seven or eight a game offensive rebounds a game. Even if I’m late to the rim, I get them over.
I have chaser on legend omg, my guy is jumping outter space, i think HOF is extremely good it's close to legend from my experience, but yes rebounding is op has hell
This is how it works, say you have rebound chaser and it max out at gold, you can use the elevator perk to jump from bronze to gold instantly, it only helps you get to your max badge without have to grind. This is why 2k put +1 badge perks and elevator in the buy level skip to make more money, and the grind a little easier.
They're not "useless" they similar to floor setters from last year in that it saves you the time and trouble of grinding those particular badges especially on new builds! Imagine you're struggling to hit contested shots and it's taking you forever to grind deadeye on a new build you can just use elevator to instantly max it out!
