Goat build = End of mp builder

[u/Fragrant_Platypus165]

If the Goat becomes a success
Which most likely will
Say goodbye to the builder and create your own player

[u/Western_Beginning375]

Guards will not be using goat builds . Having those cheesy animations and fast jumper is important to those type of players . The main players that will be using goat builds are role players .

This is just my opinion and when I say role players I’m referring to the players that makes those good boy builds that set screens all game , players that have no offensive bag that will only sit in the corner all game .

If you’re a player that can score at will , high chance you will stick with your current build.

(Also a lot of centers that are pure inside will most likely use goat builds for the higher finishing , rebounding and strength stats )

[u/Fragrant_Platypus165 → u/Western_Beginning375]

If they leaks are tru
You got builds like magic with 93 speed with ball
95 ball handle and hm87 3ball
While having 99 passing and lay up and god knows what else
Trust me guards will be using them type of builds when you can literally do anything at ease regardless of animation

The best part of 2k in my opinion is making your own shit and be like my build better than yours and you gonna see
But at this point ppl are just gonna buy the “best” goat build and run with that
Kobe, Jordan, curry. Similar to starting 5
You load up to that shit and you know you gonna play against the spurs cause most ppl just want the advantage
Instead on honing their skills

[u/Western_Beginning375 → u/Fragrant_Platypus165]

If their jumpshot is slow and trash they will be useless . Especially magic Johnson jumpshot . There’s a reason why players are mad at the shooting , we got these short guards hiding behind screens shooting from deep you not doing that with a 6’9 magic Johnson build . Yeah you might do great in random rec with court spacing but against comp yea it’s not flying

[u/XTBMcGibbs → u/Western_Beginning375]

This is basically my opinion. I feel Cap Breakers won't be broken and that combined with the locked animations will nerf a lot of builds. Every non-shooting center will be useless to most of playerbase because no one knows how to use or be paired with a non-shooting center.

That Kawhi build is great. But you need to put 5 cap breakers into speed to get to 85 to be even slightly good.

Idk, I just don't see the GOAT Builds taking off like everyone's thinking they will

[u/Western_Beginning375 → u/XTBMcGibbs]

A few of those builds might be useful for competitive matches . Wilt goat build can see some action just because he’s a fast center with high strength. His midrange might be in the 79s tho

[u/svpremeclovt → u/Western_Beginning375]

Slow jump shot just means bigger green window, especially when you’re 6’9 and contests in this game don’t do shit. He’s gonna dunk over everyone, get some of the best passes in the game, and be a lockdown on defense. The sigs won’t matter.

[u/OkInside6391 → u/svpremeclovt]

Yes they will 😂 only pass first guards are going to use these builds.

[u/Western_Beginning375 → u/svpremeclovt]

You can do that on a regular build . Go buy magic Johnson jumpshot and let me know how it goes in rec or park

[u/Smooth_Influence4062 → u/Western_Beginning375]

You said this as if the contest system isn’t literally broken

[u/Western_Beginning375 → u/Smooth_Influence4062]

Go buy magic Johnson shot and go play rec . Just because the shot contest is broken doesn’t mean you won’t be able to contest a slow jumper . No player have a hard time baiting or contested a slow jumper . It’s the fast jumpers that’s hard to contest

[u/Graves-Hero → u/Western_Beginning375]

I think lower level guards will be stuck to builder for comfort, but a mega sweaty guard will get glitchy with GOAT builds. Now the thing is maybe not this season we will get full transition, but once they put builds that cannot be passed like for example, some wild Steph Curry guard build that has easy time jumper with 99 three, 98 speed, 97 agility

[u/Western_Beginning375 → u/Graves-Hero]

That’s basically the only goat build that will be valuable for these cheesy guards 3pt hunting since his animations is good and maybe Westbrook. Everything else you better off staying with your current meta guard

[u/Graves-Hero → u/Western_Beginning375]

Yeah cuz Steph Curry dominates MyTeam Triple Threat. I remember the high three ball Westbrook in 2k26 was dominant, but idk if they’d give him a 99 three ball. I could see them doing a cheesy Prime James Harden with 99 three that can compete with a Curry for a taller, glitchy guard.

But yeah I play random rec anyways, so these builds benefit me heavily if most of the people using these are going to have them in Season 4 and beyond or primarily in squad rec/crew 5s. Im curious on Sunday how many we see per game

[u/Western_Beginning375 → u/Graves-Hero]

If I’m being honest not many because these builds will probably cost a lot of vc and the player base will probably wait until a YouTuber make a clickbait title “ this goat build is op” ect ect I might wait next season because I do want to grind for wilt goat build

[u/Old-Ninja7068 → u/Western_Beginning375]

Im a casual player now, so you’re probably right lol cause that Magic build looks fun as hell.

Honestly all of the GOAT builds look fun, sucks that 2k is a gross company, otherwise I’d give them props

[u/Western_Beginning375 → u/Old-Ninja7068]

I might make the Klay Thompson build just because he’s 6’7 with a 99 3pt

[u/SarcasticJay → u/Western_Beginning375]

Guards will switch when they add new animations package where tall builds can get small guard animations its already in the game only a matter of time when 2k decides to make money off it

[u/KingK_99 → u/Western_Beginning375]

Sounds good until one of those myteam triple threat sweats pulls up or those guys who make their character nba players anyways

[u/Western_Beginning375 → u/KingK_99]

Going to be rare , only play 4 games with and against a goat build and I didn’t even know they was on a goat build until after the game . Ain’t did nothing special to stand out

[u/GarlandTMi → u/Western_Beginning375]

This is facts. I know I’m a role player kinda style online. Driving and being that go-to guy isn’t my thing, but I’ll definitely scoop rebounds, find open players, create space, etc. so the “Magic” build is definitely appealing to someone like me.

But like you said if you need that quick jumper or good handle animations, it’ll suck.

[u/Western_Beginning375 → u/GarlandTMi]

If you understand shooting you will be able to knock down some open shots . Played against a magic in rec and the person guarding him was a 6’3 pg . That magic build was getting to the paint no problem as soon we help he will just pass it to the corner or the top of the key with his hall of fame dimer . If you got a trash team that magic build won’t shine . A good team will make these goat build shine brighter

[u/JimmyfromSeattle]

Let’s keep it a bean. Yall will spend your hard earned money for these builds and will still be trash at the game. You will spend your $100+ like you usually do on every 15 builds you’ve made go into your favorite game mode, miss a three, blow a layup, miss a free throw, get dunked on or splashed on and blame the build and 2k. Let’s be real about it. They dangled a carrot and yall goofyahh chased it. Meanwhile people are still zenning and using titans, account sharing, and cheating somehow some way. Then you will complain that 2k needs more patches and bans so they will send a lengthy half ass patch that could never and will never be perfect because they (on the low) get to change the meta forcing you to create a new build to match it and you are stuck in the same vicious cycle. Haha so I will be here with the one and only mid af build I made mastering the mechanics and 2k won’t get a penny outside of what I’ve spent to buy the game. Yall won’t stand for nothing. The 2k community won’t stand as one. And they will continue to give us mediocre products because they got us hooked line and sinker. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

[u/Fragrant_Platypus165 → u/JimmyfromSeattle]

This is tru facts

[u/2k_jackson → u/JimmyfromSeattle]

You'll say this and some fool will say "if you're broke just say that". The community is absolutely cooked and I'm ashamed to even play the damn game at this point

[u/OddlyEnough269 → u/JimmyfromSeattle]

👌

[u/illnamethislata]

I just dont care at all about the goat builds people are already cheesy and unstoppable average players will still be average with goat build

[u/Serious_Analyst_3714 → u/illnamethislata]

Yup went up against a 99 Dwight GOAT build today, probably made him regret that he spent that VC. Mind you I’m super casual.

My squad-mate was guarding a Kawhi build, definitely looked fun to use… but not overpowered if the person matched up is decent at the game.

[u/Fireryman → u/Serious_Analyst_3714]

Kawhi build is about the lock part but not so much the amazing scoring like other tunes sf builds.

[u/Feisty-Blacksmith584]

I personally believe that animations make or break a build. Being able to make a build that offers a great jump shot, handle animations, and motion style for defense is ultimately all you really need. Goat builds don’t allow you to change animations, therefore making them much easier to predict in a defensive matchup

[u/TezzyTezz → u/Feisty-Blacksmith584]

Its how MyTeam did GOAT builds you should be concerned about. Eventually being able change animations on them will determine if the game truly dies because greed/stupidity of take2.

[u/Stunt1ninprivate]

They would never get rid of creating your own player lol, that’s their money machine

[u/donnybaby97]

Nope. 2k is unstoppable. We will never quit. Doesnt matter how predatory they have become.

[u/DashingAccountabilit]

depends what they do with it, if its just pick a preset goat card and use it in park that would get boring fast. half the fun is messing with builds and making something weird that somehow works

[u/damon_is_legend]

For the casual player, yes I agree. For myself, no I'm not limited to what I can or can't do so therefore the customization wins out.

[u/Big_Spede]

Lol i played against kawhi build and got my this year rec most points and easiest scoring game. And im not that good.

[u/Professional-Lynx841]

This is propaganda

[u/AcadiaLimp2010]

The community as usual, is hyping itself up all the builds are is what we’ve had for the last couple of years with the NBA builds or the tuned builds if they said that you could mix and match the animations like we do with our created players then I would be worried

[u/Mejustyou_]

Yep what people don't understand is that we're venturing into the realm of myteam and anyone who has played that game mode just a little bit understands that every season, they have to outdo the previous season so people will spend money.

I hear all the "it's locked animations" arguments, but it won't be long before those animations aren't locked or people are given "animation breakers"

[u/Efficient-Moment-398]

Only for inside bigs if anything. Them being locked into those animations are ACTUALLY crucial

Don’t believe the hype

[u/No_Development3819]

RIP to all these parents’ bank accounts for future installments lmao 2k is becoming strictly pay-to-win. No amount of “grinding” is gonna save you from a dude willing to spend $200+ on an OP LeBron build.

[u/Fluid-Peanut3519]

Have you seen the goat bills that dropped? Except that all the animation comes with it. It's not like we didn't have this already..pro tune builds. I haven't seen one yet that couldn't be stopped or remade with cap breakers

[u/Medium_Stable_8102]

Negative, you really think they will start every year off giving out goat builds and people making 1-3 builds max because the build is OP and they are content with it? Be honest with yourself thats against their pay us more money method .

[u/synysterdax]

I just like the fact there’s a build for Dirk. Other than that there’s going to be player created builds far superior to the GOAT builds. Let’s not overreact

[u/Inevitable-Deal-9425]

Would these builds be good for mycareer? Don’t play online much

[u/Ok_Spot8384 → u/Inevitable-Deal-9425]

Yeah

[u/concealed-carry12]

The GOAT builds definately seem interesting. So they give more points than normal to make the classic player realistic, but you are stuck with THOSE attributes and badges etc.

Young Kobe looks fun. Magic one kinda sucks imo because only 70 three? Not even 78? So its young Magic? Prime Magic ('87-'90) could make threes. So its' like Mid(87) or nothing. The 99/97/93 playmaking looks fun though.

Wonder what the Bird build will be. Ive always had a hard time with him doing it myself because he should be like 92 dreb 94 mid 96 three 90 pass 90 close 96 ft lol. Hard to do those things and have much left.

[u/zBaLtOr]

This goat builds are made for locks and good boy bigs only lol and maybe some Power forward with defense like Kilikenko

[u/QuincyBoy8]

None of those builds are touching my Showtime Rim Protector

[u/Artistic_Ad5543]

I hope that builder gets scraped because it is just a victim to cheaters. My goat build smacks these cheaters around left and right bc I’m not being held back.

[u/[deleted]]

[u/SYNxSpaceman → u/[deleted]]

Im just jokin btw i can definitely see this becoming meta

[u/SYNxSpaceman → u/SYNxSpaceman]

Every position besides the one fr will probably be a goat build

[u/Frequent-Till6328]

MyTeam disguised as MyPlayer

[u/XTBMcGibbs]

Tbh, I don't have an issue with the builder getting tossed lol. I hate the builder as it stands but that is truly just my personal opinion.

[u/BryanDabo → u/XTBMcGibbs]

Literally the only thing that makes 2k such an unique experience. Thankfully you’re standing alone with this opinion

[u/PapiOnReddit → u/BryanDabo]

The most popular 2K’s had minimal build customisation

[u/XTBMcGibbs → u/PapiOnReddit]

This is basically what I want lol. I don't want the builder itself gone. I want the current builder gone

[u/XTBMcGibbs → u/BryanDabo]

I'm not I want to not be able to make unique builds. I'm saying the current builder is trash and its been trash since 25 imo

[u/Glad_Luck7059]

What people need to realize is this game is made for “Make your build to fit your play style”

Gone head and spend that money on them goat builds!

I’ll wait till a curry build is available. That’s genuinely the only build that I’d WANT to make. LeBron build also maybe but that’s about it.
