Its lame a guard same construct as a small forward has better stats from everything.I adored my 6'9 slashing shot founder in 2K19. They didn't even attempt to balance them they just hit the nerf button. Only decent builds are lockdowns and I don't like them. You can make some nasty 6"7 small forward builds like I have two nasty ones but that is the cap. After 6"7 it is total garbage, everything goes too up to a point where it ai not worth it.
Most guards are not that tall. You may earn a shooting guard 6'7 and receive more badges. Did they ever explain why positions get different amount of badges, sounds kinda stupid to me. I suppose they tried to make it so taller players do not get a big benefit, which is kind of dumb because their attributes are already capped way lower than shorter players. Yeah but still the guards are far more defenders with the graphs, athletic, better dunkers, shooters., they will need to balance them, how do a 6'3 protector be a dunker than a 6'9 sf lol 2K.
I've always loved the flexibility of the SF place and I truly feel as though they have dealt a bad hand. There are a few viable SF but the majority feel like versions of this guard/big counterpart. I think it comes down so year that 2K did: Nearly every shield build is flexible as hell this season.
Length/size is less valuable this past year. This is most likely mainly due to the heart stats restriction for height ( speed, strength, etc ), but dimension feels like a fairly weak trade off this season versus speed/agility. Also, intimidator appears to fill in where there exist might a size mismatch. It comes down to the simple fact that the SF place receives a weird gray area between bigs and guards.
They do have a made guard's flexibility build and the size benefit you get actually doesn't feel like enough to create mismatches. I feel when SFs are really viable (such as 2K18 and 19) guards are kinda moot that year and vice versa, yes there are quite workable builds but overall it goes one way or anotherexactly the same with PFs and Cs.
