How to set up an Inside Out Playmaker build?
Playmakers are the key drivers of offensive tactics for many teams in NBA 2K24. They create ample scoring opportunities for the team, and the rest of the team can bring out their A-game through their efforts.
To create an effective Inside Out Playmaker build, you’ll want to focus on achieving key attribute thresholds that enable you to dominate both ends of the court. For shooting, aim for an 88 three-point rating to unlock gold Open Looks, which improves your ability to make wide-open shots. Additionally, consider targeting an 86 three-point rating for silver Agent 3 or a 71 free throw rating for bronze Free Points. For playmaking, prioritize an 87 pass accuracy for the Bailout badge, which allows you to drive and kick effectively.
Regarding ball handling, aim for a 92 rating to unlock the Elite Dribble 6 and gold Blow By, Unpluckable, and Speed Booster badges. This will give you the speed and agility to blow past defenders and create scoring opportunities. For defense, focus on achieving a 76 perimeter defense rating for bronze Clamps and Fast Speed and an 85 steal rating for silver Glove. This will enable you to hold your own on defense and generate turnovers. Finally, prioritize physical attributes like speed, acceleration, and stamina to ensure you can maintain a high level of performance throughout the game.
To customize this build to your playstyle, consider adjusting the attribute thresholds to suit your needs. For example, if you prefer a more defensive-minded build, you could prioritize higher perimeter defense and steal ratings. Alternatively, if you want to focus on scoring, you could aim for higher three-point and free-throw ratings. By carefully balancing your attributes and badges, you can create a well-rounded Inside Out Playmaker build that excels on both ends of the court.
