I have a 70 strength on my 3 level shot creator and I don’t have dunks but my lay up is quite high and I definitely noticed the difference once I fully maxed out my strength as I was just leaving it to be the last thing I upgraded now I make way more layups don’t get people blowing by me as easy either and I’m so glad I put it up to 70 since my players only 6’3 this stops me from pretty much only being able to shoot now I can finish and defend better
Intresting. Be awesome if it affected the dunk animations. In Ja case, you could say with his 46 strength he dunks on ppl, but in lbj case, he dunks through ppl. Hints his higher strength.
Strength 100% matters at least in the beginning of this game forsure, buddy had silver bully on with over 90 strength and his layup timing on and was throwing everyone out of the way
I think the "does *blank* matter" tests comparing 25 to 99 is helpful but my suggestion would be make 2 videos. This 25 vs 99 concept to show if the attribute is useless, and another comparing 65,75,85,95 for people who are trying to decide what attributes to use on their build.
Upload the videos back to back and people would watch both of them. The second video would take twice as long but youd be getting double the views and your viewers would get more information.
@@Blackobra614 I gave him a video suggestion. He already makes videos testing attributes. What am I asking to get for free...another video? Because idk if you know or not but he gets paid for these videos lol. If anything I'm giving free advice for him to make more money.
I went about mid 75 strength on my 6'7 SF and max weight at 250. I feel like gold clamps is going to be insane with the additional weight, and these small PGs are getting bullied this year. Everytime I face one now I laugh because the weight and strength is draining stamina as soon as you body them, and it's harder for them to create space. And they can't left right left right all day to get it. FINALLY having high weight and strength makes a difference and gives you legit pros/cons to a speedy build
@@Josh00T I've noticed it already. For one they have to make a move and shoot instead of dribble for 20 secs, as soon as that turbo depletes you can knock them off the ball. Even when it's full, I'm getting a lot more pick up ball animations
That's dope. I ended up at 50 strength for my 6'8" and think I'll regret it, though I do get gold clamps. Think that'll be good enuff if I'm not sleeping?
@@ceruleanthesooth gold clamps is enough that was my cut off since the HOF badges are too hard to get. Granted I have a WAY lower driving layup/dunk than most would on a lock because I'm a 50 on both but I wanted 27 def badges because I wanted every tier 3 badge in Gold. If you don't have a high steal rating though I can easily see how only challenger in tier 3 is worth it but I have 95 steals with gold pick pocket and in games of 21 I'm ending with 8-9 steals. I added 4 more badges from that intro quest because brick wall is one of those badges that works OP for a lock but its tough to equip end game
Hey bro I’m about to hop on 2k23 current gen and came across your channel. Just know that you’re an amazing help, the videos are straight to it and so well made. Really a big help to start my career now! You gained a subscriber!
I have a 82 for silver bully on my kd build as well and I had 2 layups on small small forwards and I mean when I say it literally pushed them out the way .. it’s crazy lol
@@ManFinest different builds and different gameplay my brother ! Im talking about driving on a smaller build and idk what build you smashed but it’s all RNG anyway lol. I know you can contest , just saying I’ve seen it work firsthand , pushing dudes out the way on a drive . Badges don’t make or break a build , But they can help ! You probably got your strength up too gang💪🏾 , tell these lil boys get they weight up
Strength would be nice on 74 for most builds I’d say. Bronze bully can come in clutch very often. Not much more unless your build is catered towards a need for strength. 74 isn’t expensive either.
lol thank you for saying this, went w 74 on a 6’9 sf build that i dropped like a hundred to upgrade j now..it was enough to get shades of lebron & pippen tho so i assume 2k considers 74 pretty strong
About to make a build to play like center in park . Do you thing would be noticiable the difference between 74 and 80 strengh ??? , just because if i go for 80 has to loose some important things ...
A suggestion, I think the tests are good. I understand you use the extremes 25 and 99 to make the patterns more apparent But it would also be helpful if you did a middle range. Or an “ideal” range for the attribute you’re testing. So that we can get an idea of what a responsible level of that attribute would do. All I know from this video is I want in between a 25 and a 99 lol Idk if I want a 50 or an 80 or what those levels would entail if that makes sense
In this video I made some tests of 14 uses of strength and it already took me like 10 hours of production. If I will try to be more specific it will take me like 10x of time producing it because it looks like you want me to find the sweetspots for all those 14 uses. At the end of the day even I take that time to find those sweetspots, it still won't be that accurate because the impact of strength varies on the strength of your defender, so it's still a case to case basis. It's not like shooting where you can just say "ohhh 85 will be enough". As I mentioned on the video the goal of this video is to breakdown what are the uses of strength and give you some other perspective on how it relates to some badges like clamps and clamp breaker. Thanks for your suggestion tho
Tutes you help me a lot this year I hope you can test the defensive badges like chasedown artist, brick wall, pogo stick etc I need to be the best big man
I’m rocking 75 strength on my 6’8 SF. Didn’t want to get abused when matched up against bigger players at SF/PF. I wouldn’t recommend putting zero strength on any build this year
@@miaperez4136 I have similar stats just lower interior defense and higher permitted defense. Personally I felt stronger on the build with 75 Str vs having 40 Str. I won’t have a finally opinion until I really have all of my badges but I do recommend having at least 60-80 strength on all builds unless you’re like 6’0 and under. Then it won’t matter too much tbh
Great and informative video! Just what I needed as someone who is completely new to builds in NBA games. It’s been a journey figuring out the right PG build but I’m getting close 😂
@@bobb4403 76. Silver brick wall. Maybe focus on interior defender or make his arms longer but you’ll have to adjust the weight if you wanna be a stopper down in the paint at that size.
I went with a 99 layup and 95 close shot w/ a 74 strength to get bronze bully an hof slithery, and 6'2 so it's basically like a Kyrie build, im tryna get saucy in park 🍅🍅🍅
Strength is super expensives and moves 3 attributes category at the same time (steal, block and stuff) when you upgrade it so just increase the weight its free and it gives the same advantages over the minimum weight randoms in parc/rec
If a post scoring PG considering ppl don’t have high strength at PG do you think that’s a good idea. ? Say like 80 strength minimum to help me back down the no strength guards
I would like to see a tutorial on creating your own shot off of the dribble. I have typically had traditional big man builds in the past but have more of a playmaking big build this year. Shades of Julius Randle. So dribble pull ups step backs etc. or a new frontier for me.
Can you do acceleration this year? I know you did one last year but it's just concerning if I need acceleration for a lock down or not. Need to know lol
People are saying speed with ball and acceleration aren't really mattering for their bigger builds. They can still move with badges and dribble styles/sigs. I'd like to see a breakdown on it too.
Can you do a breakdown on Box-Out Beast? That badge is kinda OP. People are breaking my Box-Outs when I have it on Gold and 86 strength. I guess everyone has that badge on HOF
What was the strength rating of the opposition when ypur were running experiments? If you have 99 strength and so does your opp, that woupd be different comparing it to someone with 50 str. Edit: this comment was targeted for your first test.
I have a defensive anchor and a 2way 3lvl scorer both with a 91 def rebound But my 3lvl scorer gets more rebounds with my defensive anchor and my 3lvl has more strength than my defensive anchor
When you do these tests like strengths effect on blow bys, do u remove perimeter defense? Same with the back downs, do u remove interior defense and post control and do strictly on strength alone?
Yeah from the jump I wasn’t with giving a 6’4 and under guard 85+ strength when literally everyone else on the court is bigger than you and also going for bully badge stats. Just enough strength for bronze bully is good enough but you should really focus on slithery instead on smaller guards
Bet you did every study except for contact layups. It would be nice to know if higher strength helps a player finish more contact layups. You know, since there are 2 layup badges that are directly connected to finishing with contact. (Fearless Finisher & Bully)
Also I want to say you might be underplaying how effective strength plays when dodging screens I have a 6'8 small forward that literally just swims through screens with no screen dodger badge on. It might be my position too idk but I don't need pick dodger on at all cause my strength is high
