Before stepping out onto The Proving Ground, you should think about the kind of player you want to be. Do you want to control the play, distribute and dictate the terms of a match? Then Point Guard (PG) is for you. 

If you’re after less responsibility and want to move off the ball and shoot off the dribble a little more, then SG (Shooting Guard) or SF (Small Forward) are probably for you. Both of these positions demand defensive accountability and perfect off-ball movement, so there’s a strong obligation on this end to really understand how to run effective screens and help your teammates. A PG, for example, needs to directly execute and call the pick-and-roll more often.

Then there’s the C (Center) and PF (Power Forward) positions. They are completely different beasts. These positions hit the boards, set screens, defend hard, and demand the ball in the low post. Not being proficient in these areas can hurt your team and drag down your teammate rating. Although each position has its range of pros and cons, it really depends on what type of play you want to be.

 

Understanding Primary and Secondary Skills 

You are going to choose two skills that make for a realistically balanced player. A PG with “Passing and Ball Handling” as a Primary Skill is going to increase or decrease the maximum attribute cap for skills more or less relatable to the skill itself, respectively. The “Passing” attribute, for example, is an important skill here, while “Blocking” is less so. Thus, it probably wouldn’t make much sense to go with a Blocking skill which is more suited to an SF or C. 

Below are the five attributes you should focus on above all else for each position and the corresponding play style (in order of importance):

Skills will be capped depending on the type of Primary and Secondary Skills you choose, so be wary of this when you choose your player. A PG, for example, can’t be a slasher with a perfect dunk rating. You surely can work on these attributes, but they’ll never be as good at those things as someone in a more suitable position would be. Body shape also plays an important role, it needs to be designed to suit the specifications of the position and body. A small and lean PG is going to be fast, but they’re going to lack strength and agility, which can make it tough for them to defend bigger, stronger opposition PGs. A Center with a small wingspan isn’t going to be that efficient a rebounder as one with an excessively long wingspan. Fortunately, The game will inform you of these factors when you are creating your player.

If you’re an impatient player, a PG, SG or even an SF will be your best options, so you can get your hands on the ball a bit more. As a C and PF you’re really at the hands of the guards, although your teammates tend to pass the ball to you a bit more in NBA 2K18. 

If you’re an outside shooter, stick with a guard. If you’re a banger and like to hit the boards, any of the forwards or Center should be your choice. 

So what do you want your player to be? A “Defending” and “Post Scoring” center? What about a “Driving & Finishing” and “3Pt Shooting” guard? It may not make much sense to go with a Post Scoring and Passing PG, so hopefully this all makes a bit more sense for you now.
