I feel like you should have done this by position not overall. Guarantee it would have took longer but for certain position one attribute might be higher than another.
That would be incredibly dumb and redundant. Do you really need a video to tell you ball handle is important for point guards? Or rebounding is important for centers? This video is about the big picture.
No disrespect at all, but Offensive rebound is definitely a more important attribute than defensive rebound, especially with all of the missed shots in this 2k25. It’s also cheaper at the same level. I can get plenty of defensive rebounds even with a 80 rating with good boxing out and positioning but if you’ve ever played against a center with very high offensive rebounds, with all of the missed shots this year, he’s virtually unstoppable even against high defensive rebounding, as the ball literally goes straight through your rebounding animation straight to them. And since people like to take off on breaks anticipating the defensive rebound, that offensive rebound always lead to wide open 3 point shots.
@@aye_uncle_drew my point is I can get defensive rebounds with a 80 defensive rebound with boxing out and positioning. In other words the opportunity for defensive rebounds come easier even with lower ratings since most people play with lower offensive rebound rating. But with high offensive rebounding, your contribution is more impactful especially with all of the missed shots. The ball just sucks to your hand, sometimes without even jumping lol. Most people generally put everything towards defensive rebounding and have a lower offensive rebound. Usually a low offensive rebounding rating usually loses against an equally lower defensive rating, BUT a high defensive rebounding also loses out against high offensive rebounding. I rarely get out rebounded by a high defensive rating player because not only will I still get defensive rebounds over a low offensive rebounding player, I will also get the majority of offensive rebounds with all of the misses.
Prob depends on game mode, but, O board is great but only crucial to have super high if you're playing on an inside big, imo. If you're a stretch big in 5 out you're rarely getting near an O board. High D board with high pass acc is where it's at for 5 out.
The whole thing about your statement is that you don’t need a high ass rebound to snag. You don’t need to be a centre to snag. I am a 6’4 PG and I only have 75 O and 80 D with Silver Rebound Chaser and kid you not, just 2 days ago, I snagged 4 O boards over centres. Ended that game with 7 boards I believe and my max is 9. Multiple times. Rebound is important but for me, I snag with Silver.
I’d have to disagree with the mid range ranking. It’s fairly important in attaining better jump shots for longer wing span builds with a low 3pt rating. However I do understand why you would rank it low in the sense that not as many people shoot those shots compared to 3 pointers. Other than that valid ranking video in my opinion!
@@chriswilliams2019really Middy fades are my go to they have pure green window and all the shot creating moves my guard has it’s really unguardable majority of the time for me
If you’ve ever matched up against someone with 95+ close shot and standing dunk, get ready for a long game as they literally render your interior defense and block almost obsolete especially if the get positioning. Your high pogo stick isn’t even a factor to someone with high Paint Prodigy.
@@javongreen2515 with my cap breakers plus the extra cap breaker at 40, I now have a 99 standing dunk and a 98 close shot. Since most bigs put their interior at 88, when I see it, I now I’m about to eat. Those standing dunks and contact animations are so serious at that level. Only guys that give me grief are those with 92+ interior, which sometimes changes my animations on the shots and dunk attempts but with Legend Paint Prodigy because of the +1 and Legend Rise Up, those close shots and dunks come quick and over any 7’0 and below.
I agree, a 3 pointer is essentially one shot. You get the badges from either, but middy is a bigger more diverse area. Post fadeds too, and the badges you get make the 3 shoot like it’s a 90+.
Midrange does mean a lot bc it can help you get better jump shot bases , the actual act of taking a midrange or shooting midrange shots sure but having a high midrange can give you every badge that 3pt can expect limitless range
Layup by itself is okay, but when it's paired with strength for physical finisher i think its one of the best attributes in the game. The ability to take contact and still get a bucket in a position where you can't trigger a dunk animation is extremely nice to have. I also think pass accuracy is ranked too high, i believe anything past 78 is pointless. I used to think you had to have at least 82 and recently ive been setting it to 65 with no issues. Can still throw lobs and everything
It's the speed of throwing it that's a big deal to me for threading the quick backdoor..still hit them fine but the 85 or 87 pass acc my guy has comes out instant and more consistent than my 77 pass did.
Want yall opinion . If you had a Pg/Sg build with ( 85 spd 85 agility 73 strength) and u had a choice between: *hof set shot specialist and gold lighting Launch OR *HOF Lightning Launch and Gold Lightning launch.. which would you choose?
my lockdown is 6’6 with 7’2 wingspan. 73 strength and 92 speed & agility it’s way better this way. I got lock with higher strength & 85 agility it’s way too slow
@@nh9036I can’t decide what to use my cap breakers on agility or speed. I feel slow when accelerating and changing directions and when guarding but can’t tell if it’s agility or speed causing it. I’m 85 speed 82 agility
Don’t think I could value mid range this low. I think you have to think of it with the concept that you max the middy and run the three ball at 83 or 89. Limitless just is so weak that high three ball doesn’t make sense value wise
Offensive rebound is worth way more than defensive. I average over 20 Rebs a game in Rec on my comp center build and almost half of them are offensive. And I always out rebound the other center in my matchups.
Block is top ten for me easily. Every build I’ve played gets a ton of blocks if you can time then well. It’s crazy how many bigs I’ve stopped as an undersized big because I get blocks.
This man put Post Control 5 spots above Agility and 4 spot above strength! Come out here with low agility if you want to and watch your feet feel like they stuck in the mud. Strength allows you to get all the good defensive badges... Heck even need strength is needed for the good Post Control badges! I do agree with Interior D especially and speed being in top 3 (87+ speed is clutch)!
I think 2k is built to play the game and not be fancy because fancy seems broken. I think the defense has a buff because of it. In the rec I may be a point but to rough up the cherry pickers I have steal and blocking defense. Think about it. I can hit 3s dunks and layups with mid and decent play making.
True but on 3s it’s not make it take it. If you go down two or three possessions without a bucket. You kinda want to hunt 3s at that point. 2 point is 2 points reguarless if it’s a middy or dunk.
Driving dunk is useless in terms of going high on it but good when you wanna keep it low to the point you could dunk open lanes consistently like in the 80s but 9 is to high it’s not even the best finishing attribute not only that but finishing as a whole is the worse attribute
It depends on whether or not you're taking smart shots with it. You'll hit more contested with an 89 than a 60 and you'll also get quicker releases with it so you're less likely to be contested.
Not even trying to disagree with your rankings by saying this, but I think strength is really underrated. I like it a lot on my builds. Won’t be making a build this year with less than 85
I’m a 6’2 guard with 90 layup rating what is the best possible layup package for me to use? Debating Westbrook or kyrie but not sure. Someone help please
It's all depends on what lay ups you like to do. If floaters go Trae. If you like basic straight to the point layups got Hali. If you have strength on your 6'2 or like Euros go Harden.
You definitely messed up with perimeter defense. That is the only way to counter 3point shooting. It was fixed once you put 3 number 1. Perimeter defense has to be like 5 or 4
Lay up definitely got nurfed, with a 93 layup isnt as good as 91 layup in 2k24 . You just have to take smarter takes, as in 24 i could just spam euro lays and get some crazy lays. Now if i try that id get blocked even before finishing the euro step. Wouldnt even beable to get shot up at the rim
I disagree they feel so much better than last year it’s just last year people cheesed the Jason Williams layup plus you said it yourself you wanna just take dumb layups and pray they go in that being said you could still do that this year just not on short builds anything around 6’6 and up layups are way better than driving dunks

That midrange needs to be higher imo… a lot of builds that don’t get a high 3, rely on the midrange to get shooting animations and badges…
That’s a very specific scenario tho and not the overall aspect of it.
