    2k21 Demo: Observations on Pie Chart Attributes

    Posted: 31 Aug 2020 02:06 PM PDT

    I have looked at all 14 pie charts in the 2k21 demo, for each of the 5 positions. I will refer to the pie charts by their colors - B (Blue = Finishing), G (Green = Shooting), Y (Yellow = Playmaking) and R (Red = Defense/Rebounding).

    In the 2k21 demo, there are the same 10 pie charts as in 2k20 (BB, RR, YY, GG, B-G, B-Y, B-R, G-Y, G-R, Y-R), along with 4 new pie charts:

    1. BB-G (Finishing/Shooting - more finishing + less shooting than B-G)
    2. GG-B (Finishing/Shooting - more shooting + less finishing than B-G)
    3. GG-Y (Shooting/Playmaking - more shooting + less playmaking than G-Y)
    4. RR-G (Defense/Shooting - more defense, less shooting than R-G)

    It looks like 2k made some mistakes with these new builds. Here's what I found:

    A. Shooting/Defense Pie Charts (R-G vs RR-G)

    1. R-G has a higher Defensive Rebound than RR-G
      This makes no sense at all. RR-G is supposed to have more defense than R-G, and it does, for every other defensive attribute. But not defensive rebounding. This applies for every position. Why?
    2. R-G has a higher Driving Dunk than RR-G
      In 2k, Defense has always given you more athleticism and finishing than Shooting. It's still this way if you compare the physical pie charts. RR-G has better speed, acceleration, strength and vertical than R-G. Makes sense. So how on earth does R-G have better Driving Dunk than RR_G? And it's like 3 points better, too. Makes no sense.
    3. R-G gets more Finishing Badges than RR-G
      This makes no sense for the same reasons as #2.

    B. Shooting/Finishing Pie Charts (B-G, BB-G & GG-B)

    1. GG-B has higher Speed than both B-G and BB-G.
      Again, Shooting usually brings with it lower athleticism and finishing than any other category. So how, of the 3 B/G pie charts, does the one with the most shooting have the highest speed? Makes no sense.
    2. GG-B has higher Vertical than both B-G and BB-G.
      Same shit as the speed. Makes no sense that the two B/G pie charts with more finishing have lower vertical than the one with more shooting.

    C. Shooting/Playmaking Pie Charts (G-Y vs GG-Y)

    1. GG-Y has higher Driving Dunk than G-Y
      Playmaking - like defense - usually brings with it better athleticism and finishing than shooting. But the GG-Y builds have a higher driving dunk than the G-Y builds. Just inconsistent and makes no sense. I suppose I get why more shooting will boost your Close Shot, but your Driving Dunk too? Definitely not. And, this is inconsistent with the fact that G-Y has better physicals than GG-Y.

    ________________________________________________________________________________________

    Aside from that, it mostly looks alright. Here are a few other random observations just for your info:

    1. The B-Y pie chart for SF (Finishing/Playmaking SF): you can get up to 30 playmaking badge points for this pie chart. As far as I know, it's the only "split" pie chart (i.e., pie charts that give you HOF badges in two different categories, not just one) where you can get 30 badge points in one category. (This build only gets a disappointingly low max of 20 Finishing badge points, though.)
    2. Most Badges. From what I can tell, the build with the most badge points is a GG/B Center. This information should help you sleep better at night.
    3. Driving Dunk Nerf. Usually, Playmaking would help raise your athleticism and finishing attributes more than it does in 2k21.
      For example, let's take a SG with default height (6'5) and wingspan:
      B-Y / SG: 83 Driving Dunk (in 2k20 it was 90)
      Y-R / SG: 78 Driving Dunk (in 2k20 it was 87)
      Y-Y / SG: 70 Driving Dunk (in 2k20 it was 80)
      Here's the Driving Dunk rating for SGs with the Finishing/Shooting (B/G) pie charts:
      B/G / SG: 78 Driving Dunk (in 2k20 it was 83)
      BB-G / SG: 81 Driving Dunk
      GG-B / SG: 75 Driving Dunk
      And so just getting back to #A2 above, look at the other defensive SGs:
      B-R / SG: 91 Driving Dunk (in 2k20 it was 95 (kind of absurd, since B-B was 95 too))
      R-R / SG: 86 Driving Dunk (in 2k20 it was 92)
      Look at how much higher your Driving Dunk is if you replace Shooting or Playmaking with Defense. Like I said, this is inconsistent with R-G having higher Driving Dunk than RR-G.
    4. Wingspan. This year, increasing your wingspan will increase some of your Finishing attributes (like Driving Dunk), not just defense. It still hurts Shooting and Playmaking, but seemingly not as much.
    5. Weight. Good change: now, when you lower your weight, it increases your Speed too, not just your Acceleration and Vertical. That makes sense. Good change.

    Ok well that's about it. I hope 2k makes some of the obvious changes to fix the mistakes they made, referenced in A, B and C.

    A message to the community

    Posted: 31 Aug 2020 12:37 PM PDT

    It seems like most people when they see a build say it's trash but then praise their own. People gotta remember that most builds are very viable and can have a great win percentage if you master that build correctly. Whether it be a slasher, shooter, lockdown, center, as long as you know what you're doing and try to win and master your play style, you're good.

    I'm tired of everyone nitpicking every single build. There's no build in the game that can do it all 100% with a 100% win rate. It's just impossible. A build can be great in park but shit in rec. It all comes down to you and how you play and where you're playing.

    I think it's cool that some people experiment with their builds and run something that's "off meta" and run with it and win with it. Yes, some builds have higher skill ceilings than others, but at the end of the day most builds are viable and just play what fits your playstyle. You'll be happier playing what you love doing the most rather than doing what everyone else is doing.

    Positions literally don’t matter in 2k21

    Posted: 31 Aug 2020 06:43 PM PDT

    I don't know if it's always been like this but positions literally don't matter in 2k21 at least the demo. It literally just depends on height you could make a 6'8 point guard with the first pie chart and it'd have the exact same stats as a 6'8 power forward with that pie chart (assuming wingspan and weight are the same as well). So basically Shooting guards, small forwards, and power forwards are useless because Point guards can be 5'7-6'8 and centers can be 6'9-7'3. I find this dumb I think each position should be able to do something better than all the others

    Nba2k Analysis from real Basketball standpoint(realistic view-suggestion)

    Posted: 31 Aug 2020 01:55 PM PDT

    Hi there guys ,

    I just had some thoughts about the game and I felt that should share them with you.

    I have played enough MyLeague,MyCareer and MyTeam in order to have a view of gameplay problems.In my opinion,we as gamers are excited from a realistic game and we notice every detail,the fact that we can do things that happen in real life brings fun and that hype feeling.Is NBA2k realistic enough though?

    I don't want to be negative I recognize that for a video game 2k has been an incredible game.However when they raise the bar I feel like they should keep it up every year.

    I played basketball professionally in order to understand the game and how they tried to make it work and I am a little bit disappointed from the outcome.The game except being repetitive especially on Offline mode.I have the feeling that it is all random.I will explain below.

    Basketball nowadays is a read and react game in which every team tries to find a disadvantage in order to create an advantage.For instance,1on1 leads to a situation where defense has to help so they offense has to find the open pass etc. The same goes with pick and roll and so on. I am not going to analyze NBA but I will try to make it as quick as possible.

    In NBA 2k

    -Pick and roll game is RUINED (offline vs cpu) Reasons Lack of spacing even with the best settings Insane ability of defense to react even if you read correctly There is no way you can understand how contested shots system work.There is no clear detail.Contested meter shows random number 30%-56%-73% even if the shot is a good choice after the pick and roll.

    -Same moves from Every player I am tired watching myself controlling various players and doing the same stuff in order to cross my defenders(in and out behind the back or cross and so on you all know it)

    -Lay up game BROKEN

    Nowadays players use floaters , euro steps , power lay ups , one step lay ups and so on

    In Nba 2k try to do that you will get stuck to the 7 footer waiting for you even if you read correct what happens? 100% contested and very early release all red. Even if you try to pass to your open teammate because you read the help of the other big man two things will happen 1) the ball will go out of bounds 2) the receiver will catch the ball but the opponent will react so fast that can contest the second shot too.

    Spacing and transition offense RANDOM

    Players are running everywhere having no clue what to do sometimes.

    They stop on 2on1 fast break situations

    They are waiting the ball in the middle of the court even if you are running a pick an roll.

    Sometimes you pass to someone and he does an over the back court violation because he ran back after the pass.

    SOLUTION

    I Could go for hours but that's not what I want to do . Here is some example who will make the game much better.

    Make reaction attribute to really count.

    Add a close out defense attribute where we can attack close out and read without worrying about the stuck animation first.

    Make hands attribute count as you raise your hands in defense and not worry about the Badge only

    Rework PF and C positions , adjust speed vertical and so on.

    -The bigs cannot play 1on1 defense on the three point line they either dare you to shot or meet you at the rim.

    -Some big man are fast but they don't react like crazy.

    The game is based on badges but when you play offline most players lack certain badges that make them unplayable.Fix that

    fix the damn spacing , 4 players out and 1 inside most cases . Stretch the floor in order to shot or attack close out defense .

    Fix the transition game.

    P.s at least give us options to adjust all that.
