The EVOLUTION of the NBA 2K BUILD SYSTEM (NBA 2K14, 2K15, 2K16, 2K17, 2K18, 2K19, 2K20, 2K21) 

I really hope 2K22 doesn’t mess up the builder Bc it’s personally my favorite thing in 2K

it’s so satisfying to see joe play on his builds

Lets just hope nba 2k 22 will be a FUN game 🙏🏻

i would love to see a mix of the 19 and 20 builders. i prefer the double archetypes more than the pie charts but i also really liked changing the caps of your attributes

This man’s really turns into Bob the Builder when a new 2k comes out

I love making unique builds just like you and it was so great seeing all the old 2ks again

2K needs use player DNA from myleague. Just let us download the rookie DNA of any player in NBA history and let us build off that with badges and attributes

The 2k14 system was basically fixed compared to 2k11 and 12. I remember in 2k12 while having a 3pt specialist you could play defense, dribble, pass and have contact dunks

21:18 So Joe didn’t test this game either? Damn that’s tough

Thank you Joe for helping the 2k community with there builds I've had so much fun making builds that you recommend I appreciate it

I love that this man shows the game inverted to us it just makes him such a more real content creator bro

BANGEERRRRR I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 🔥

Joe back at it again with a banger 🔥 🐐

For the next gen builder I want attribute caps to unlock every tier of badge not just gold and hall of fame. It doesn’t make sense that a 62 steal can get you 3 tiers of a badge but you need a high 80s to get it hof. It allows more builds to be unique depending on how you want to play

Big fan of this video idea Joe, brought back nostalgic memories for me. Let me know if you ever need a teammate

Wow joe knows very good video, you bring me a lot of flashback, I start playing in 2k17 didn’t start playing park after a month after, then it was a rap, I play park ever since. Very good video joe, you getting close of 1 MILLION SUBS

Haven’t watched the whole video but i know going through these builders is gonna bring nostalgia🔥HOPEFULLY the builder for 22 is good and diverse🙏🏾

I feel like this year is a true make or break for 2k like dead ass

IMO 2k17 had one of the most FUN player builders because you could get every badge in the game on bronze and archetypes could get their respective badges to HoF. This made it feel like your player was actually a 90-something overall NBA player that was decent at everything on the court but was also elite at the archetype they chose. So a sharpshooter could still dribble, drive and play defense decently but only the sharpshooter was elite at shooting over defenders or from deep. Same goes for all the other archetypes

it’s honestly mind-blowing how many times in this video this man joe spoke nothing but facts.💯💯

i loved how 2k16 had real people as characters in MyCareer

The earlier 2k "myplayer builders" were pretty dope too. I just wish that they let us be more detailed with how much we can customize our players.

Fire vid Joe keep grinding!!!

this man joe forgot to record mid stream 🤣. keep up the heat joe 🔥

I always hated the archetype system after 2k16… I felt it wasn’t fair for them to limit our my player when players like Michael Jordan/lebron weren’t limited

I haven't even watched but I know the vid finna be a banger

I can already tell this vid gonna blow up

i love your vids man

I don’t even care what the vid is about I just love your voice it’s so satisfying

How you think of this stuff your videos are so unique I swear fire 🔥 video

Banger

Joe stay with the heat

Making builds is my favorite part of the game so I really hope that 22 has a good and unique builder

Great video for a dry game! Respect

i love your vids

Loved the vid joe 👀

Personal fave was 2k16… so many good memories too

Goat Knows another banger

the best video idea 💪🏽

spot on brother.

Im dropping a like just because I know how long it must of took to download all those games 😭‼️

If the build system is going to be good then I bet you joe is going to go crazy with it this year

Joe when I tell you this a banger vid it’s a banger vid

I knew this was coming. I saw you on nba 2k14 and was like huh?? 😂

I want the 2k19/18 build system back. It was simple and I think 2k has the chance of making it balanced

I got notis on for this banger

I have been vibing with joe knows lately

That builds are🔥🔥

Yessir big joe‼️

Double takeover was amazing

I like the freedom of next gen builder, obv needs to be tweaked a little but I think it’s the best we’ve seen. On the other hand i’ve always been a fan of the idea of 2k19 builder, but add a third arch so your primary is HOF, secondary Gold/silver and tertiary is silver/bronze depending on how your archs matchup with one another.

Goat knows 🐐🐐🐐

This should be GOOD!

Big Joe spittin rn‼️

Just hoping 2k22 is balanced and there isn’t any crazy insane broken builds and everything is balanced. I’m right there with you with the builders I spend so much time in the builders

im glad im subcribed

Exactly if I'm a 6'3 PG having passing shouldn't cost so much, but a 6'7 PF can have everything its ridiculous but finally some one spoke up about it 👏 🙌

Noti came on time

Thank you

NBA 2k16 was the only 2K game where I hit Legend 😂😂😂 idk just Park was so fun and so exciting to play… Playing park was such a joy back in 2K16… That grinding was actually fun to do it didn’t feel like a chore or a job but it felt like a fun thing to do… I remember just being able to pop in 2K16 and have fun… They need to bring back base 11 too! I’m tired of stuff Jumpshots like base 98 they need to bring back the high jumping bases and the high arc releases… Just because a few people complained about stretch bigs being able to jump high… That’s what made the game fun… It was a little annoying but that’s what made 2K 2K… I wish they bring back base 11 one day…

I still play 2k14 now and then games still fun to Play

2k19 was a fat at dub from 18 made me happy to play again from 17 and 16

2K19: The Only 2K where every style ate. Post Scorers were Tuff, Locks were going crazy, I remember those shot creating sharpshooters=GG, ISO 6’10 PURE POINT FORWARDS omg..even the post scoring shot creators with the double takeover=ITS OVER, and let’s not forget the stretch 4s DUKE Dennis was going BONKERS. Like bro, 19 really goated. Way more builds were viable. Way more options.

I Think you should do a trio of lonzo, LaMelo and LiAngelo like the chino hills line up or something P.S love ya Vids

I know this video is a month old and this is an unpopular opinion, but 2k14 is a couple tweaks away from the best builder ever in my opinion. It was so simple, but I loved that you could pick your play style and your caps reflected it, but you could still do everything else at a very high level regardless of what you picked, but if you picked athletic for instance you had a higher dunk/speed than any other play style but lower shooting caps, and you could still shoot at a respectable level once you maxed out your 3/middy and even before then. Vice verse with the 3 point specialist and so on. It just made sense if you know what I mean. You could only have 7 badges equipped at one time, which I was a fan of. It made everyone a little different because you had to pick and choose badges and play styles. I’m probably a little bias but 14-16 where the golden years of 2k imo. The gameplay was just flat out better than anything they have made since.

19 was a good game Fr especially the rebirth when u get to 95

the press A part got me😭😂

2k19 was most fun builder easily

The most important thing when making a build for me is being able to unlock as many animations as possible and then letting my skill make up for the rest.

Bro Joe!! I made a “2-Way Diming 3 Level Scorer” no weaknesses obviously lol

We need a updated version of this video 🤔

Im telling you that 6 ft 10 pure lockdown build in 2k19 was what really put me on to always making a more defensive build now. i used to always play point but i loved getting steals and boards. decided to finally try to pure lock with that op corner shot and been hooked to defensive builds. forget scoring, boards and steals is all i like now lol

2k17 builder would be one of the only ways we get a variety in what we play id definitely be fine with it if they actually made it correctly though.

I feel like 2k has always modeled the best build of their game kind of what their cover star was. 2k15 you had 7ft SFs which was KD, 2k21 next gen you got 6'7 PFs which is Zion, 2k21 current gen you got playshots which is Dame.

I would love a Achertype Builder where you can change a little bit the stats you wanna have higher

I liked 19 cause of the story and it gave me good memories

2k15 and 16 was so nostalgic

I had an idea that every build regardless of position should get the same amount of badges around 60-70 and how you disperse those badges is predicated on how many attributes you put into those 4 main categories and those attributes are still affected by how it increases your overall but every build should get the same amount of badges but where you put those badges is different for everybody’s playstyles etc

Noti gang🔥

VIDEO IDEA: Go through the top 30 players in the NBA, and make great arguments for what their 2K19 archetypes would be!!!! 💯

This is why joe is the goat can take a irrelevant game and entertain you. True content creator

2 way slashing playmaker was dope and easy af to shoot with even with a low 3 on 20

Joe I had a 2 way tempo pusher made with the red/green and the red/yellow on 20

Ok ok I see you joe with the intro music

Noti gangg

I haven't played next gen but the builder looks so good compared to current gen hopefully this year they can fix at least some of the shit they did wrong just wanna see some variation in builds

Stretch Bigs Ran 2k19 BRING EM BACK 2k‼️‼️

For the time being, I remembered how much I enjoyed 2k20 😂

Day 1 of teaming up with Joe: Hey JoeKnows I've been a follower for a while, watching for longer and I will be grinding next 2K. I plan on playing big/center for the majority I switched to Xbox in hopes we can run together. I'm a small streamer on Facebook gaming and I hope we can get a few games in this year. Happy Legend grinding my guy.

I honestly like the concept of the last 3 my player builders. Choosing a certain skill set to play a certain way. But 2k limits so there are only 2-3 builds that can actually be effective.

I miss wingspan helping with contested shots

Being 2k19 builder back!!!!

I hope they are watching this because what he’s saying makes perfect sense 💯

19 and 20 were the best builders for diversity (19 and 18 were more different than joe remebers as the badges were a alot different). I think the next gen has potential but we need even upgrades across builds and a set number of total badges

14:10 that is so well said!!! This man gets it...

even 5 years later, 2k16 still the goat

Facts‼️‼️

Noti GANG

Joe you really need to get in touch with 2K, and get them to let you test the game

Joe just made me levitate to the 4th with this video
