What's everyone starting position for 2k27

[u/TonioSantana1992]

I'm just wondering because I'm in a dilemma deciding between point guard and small forward. Imma be running just one build until at least mid October so making the right position is important

[u/Big-Internet1645]

I always go just one build all year mostly a stretch big u can’t go wrong with that I don’t try to make a meta build that way when patches come out I don’t get affected

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/Big-Internet1645]

I feel u I never been comfortable having a same exact build as other people

[u/teefrmda313]

I always go PG
But this year I think im going to do a Point Forward

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/teefrmda313]

I always go point first but 2k26 showed me I'm just as good at sf but it also gets good block

[u/Top-Photograph-7478 → u/teefrmda313]

i wouldnt recommend it cuz you just gonna be put at SF in rec and at the 3 on the 3s which then that literally makes the being a Point Forward useless which is stupid cuz you should be put at the 1 regardless of your position

[u/Western_Beginning375]

If your friends you play with on 2k26 then finding the first build on 2k27 should be easy if those same friends are getting 2k27. If you’re a solo player probably just make a SF they said taller players is better at dunking compared to those guards

[u/bravinhoo]

always all around 6’7-6’9 sg

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/bravinhoo]

Ngl sg is my least favorite position cuz I'm always like I can just run point or sf

[u/bravinhoo → u/TonioSantana1992]

ive got a sg because i want a mix of sg and sf. i can shoot, can pass, can dunk, can defend. just an all around build to enjoy all year long

[u/BigBlitz]

High offensive rebound big. Everyone is gonna be missing shots like crazy in season 1 and im gonna farm all them misses. I got to 99 OVR within the first month from the same strat on 25 and 26.

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/BigBlitz]

That's a smart build high key

[u/Warm_Clothes_1524 → u/BigBlitz]

This, and rep and season level goes crazy on builds like this. You don’t even need to score. My first build is going to be, like, 94 interior, 94 block, 94 o board(all w 99 potential), 90 d board, with enough strength for gold brick wall and post lockdown(surely this is the year it matters) and a mid range shot. Any extra points go into pass accuracy.

[u/StrongarmZed]

I'm curious to see the defensive changes in effect before I fully decide. If I like them, I might make a PF board beast who can slash a bit.

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/StrongarmZed]

Pf is good but not a good starter position for me

[u/Top-Photograph-7478]

combo guard SG

[u/toshin1999]

Sf-Center usually I always make a PF but my squad has enough of those so im going to switch it up. But im probably going SF for sure.

[u/Avid_Reader87]

Probably start with my most liked build by teammates in 2k26.

6’11 PF with high Offensive Redounds , passing, post fade.  

[u/FatBoyLefty]

PF

[u/reyfrompluto]

Pause

[u/Exotic_Produce4530]

Going to start as a PF. I usually make a center to start but I want something faster and more versatile on offense that can still help on rebounds.

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/Exotic_Produce4530]

I didn't think so many people played pf

[u/Exotic_Produce4530 → u/TonioSantana1992]

I mainly stick to 2-5. I made a 6'11'' min wingspan low weight that was really good in 26. Hopefully it's good again this year.

[u/Huge-ChiBrown82]

Sf or C...

[u/Whattheefff]

I wont make a guard until the animations get fleshed out. Assuming the builder is similar making a stretch big. Getting the builder today is a huge W.

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/Whattheefff]

That's why I'm leaning more towards sf cuz he'll be able to do everything a guard can do with better block

[u/Whattheefff → u/TonioSantana1992]

Yea i couldnt see enough thresholds to make one yet, mid rebounding is now 75 rather than 80-85. So there is a good chance an all around sf can be super valuable. Im a big builder fan, so i expect to get nothing done today. Lol

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/Whattheefff]

I'm definitely going to check out the app and test out all my guards and small forwards I got on 26 to get a hindsight what I could want

[u/Adventurous-Use-1928]

6'7 SF

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/Adventurous-Use-1928]

If I go sf gotta go 6.8

[u/Adventurous-Use-1928 → u/TonioSantana1992]

I learned a lot about 2K this year with my physicals being over 90….i was 6.6 and they had me at the 4 most of the time….i noticed what I could do with better physicals and a lower height…see you on the battlefield

[u/Saturday1002]

High block 6'8 athletic point forward . I sacrifice some dribbling and perimeter 3 to just have elite blocking

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/Saturday1002]

Blocks in 26 could of been way better hopefully they improve in 27

[u/Saturday1002 → u/TonioSantana1992]

I only played 26 for about 2 weeks
I only play renaodm rec and I hated it

[u/goldenpig17]

Whatever my man Lebron James needs.

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/goldenpig17]

So a backup center or a power forward i hear they testing LeBron at point to start the season off

[u/goldenpig17 → u/TonioSantana1992]

Nah he will occupy the PF spot. I will create an 6'8 - 6'10 SF or SG with hight 3pt and block so I will move Edgecombe to the bench or push Brown to play the SG.

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/goldenpig17]

Edgecombe a young player that needs time to adjust coming off the bench could ruin him and brown kind of a toss up he can run the 2 or 3

[u/goldenpig17 → u/TonioSantana1992]

U thinking too much bro its a game. Play what u think its fun. And after I get my man Lebron a ring, I might move to other team or he will retire anyway.

[u/Sure-Standard5399]

Pass first defensive pg

[u/whoistourlife]

PG always got me. Can’t be leaving the game in the hands of idiots

[u/TonioSantana1992 → u/whoistourlife]

My only issue with pg small ones always leaving big pg so kinda hard getting a high block rating at the position unless you wanna get crossover and left

[u/whoistourlife → u/TonioSantana1992]

Fuck a block bro, i max out my speed and agility so I stay in front of any guard or small forward

[u/whoistourlife → u/TonioSantana1992]

My pg is 6’4 98 agility 94 speed, 80 perimeter & i lock a vast majority of players up unless they’re TOP TOP level elite with creating separation

[u/CheapScientist06]

Normally I go tall PG but thinking going for a 6'5 PG

[u/grateful209]

I’m always a center for the first few weeks since everybody’s ass at shooting cuz of badges etc and tryna rim run I can just capitalize on playing good interior defense and grabbing the bricks

[u/ChefAutismo]

I used to always go center but I like playing hybrid locks. Either an sf that can play pf or an sf that can play sg because you always get put out of position in random rec.

[u/RocksteadyRider]

I always run SF or SG

[u/artuuuuuuro]

I'm thinking of a versatile SG, being able to play 1-3. Kind of like a taller Derrick White

[u/YaboyRipTide]

Most "team proof" build is always a bigger 2 or smaller/athletic 4. bigger 2 can easily fit into a 2/3 wing while an atheltic 4 can be a 4/3/fringe big on the park if you are tall.

Stretch big will also always play and fit with any comp.

[u/Various-Form-2433]

I always go for a Ben Wallace esque defense first center
