We have a strength problem on 2K26. These are the screen animations I'm getting on a 6'11 center with 31 strength. Unless you are playing comp 5s with a pick and roll guard you can make your build better by lowering your strength and putting the attributes anywhere else #NBA2K26

Who in their right mind thought Boxout Beast should not be connected to strength. Such a massive error by the devs.

Forgot the screen animations, I can’t even load into the rec with the squad without one of us disconnecting

Time to just call it what it is… these devs are absolute dogshit

Unfortunately can confirm. My new 7'3 with 53 strength (haven't upgraded it to max 80 yet as i want to test low strength) was buckling people on screens, getting the same and better animations than my other bigs with silver and gold brick wall.

🔥💪🏾THEY NOT GONE LIKE THIS 1😳🤣🤣

this mindset is why people can’t progress if im getting pressed by a real lock im going to need a a high strength center. yall are only really setting screens to quick slip n pop instead of helping the guard shoot.

U just showing me clips of a gaurd that look 5 foot I guarantee he out all his attributes in offense and has no defense these isn’t valid 😆😂

Mannnnnnn I have 91 strength, gold Brick max +2 to legend. I can barely get good animations. I can count on 1 hand how many times I’ve bodied ppl completely with crasher take on

Don't get fooled most of the screens you get at this strength level will be useless and your guard will barely get open

I have a 99 perimeter with legend pick dodger and every other legend defensive badge. The defense on this game is hot garbage 😭🤣

Every year they say how much strength is going to matter and every year it’s garbage for the cost

I got 99 strength I definitely could have put my shit somewhere else but having high strength on 7 footer I rarely get the ball stolen it do have its advantages

only neccessary for immovable enforcer and strong handle. other than that its useless. 2 very important badges tho imo

Strength doesn’t matter anymore because we as a community decided it didn’t….. if no one has strength on their build why would it matter

Another 2K another year where most of the attributes are worthless. Wash, rinse, and repeat...

Not having Crasher kinda blows though. Need 80 str

I have a 99 standing dunk with 85 post control and max +2 for legend post powerhouse strength is needed for those animations down low. Other than that it’s useless

Yea animations like screens have always been more animation based than attribute based. That’s why pick dodger feels so ineffective at times. Because of that they are always stronger than they should and don’t cater towards a real skill gap.

Strength is basically for brick wall only and lockdowns. Maybe not even then. I've got 72 strength on my 7'2 slashing center and cna play pretty good perimeter defense. I've got immovable enforcer on silver so that helps.

Everyone been crying on my SF and PF builds this build ass you don't have strength lmao. Haven't needed strength all year. Strong handles isint OP like last year. Don't need it for boxoit. Don't need it to set screens.

Yeah and im pretty sure it was intentional.....they knew everyone was gonna make them 7'4 wemby builds with no strength. Now you got everyone running no strength and everything tied to it is useless

ngl make yall builds with 31 strength if u want to. more free eats for me

Same animations as my 99 strength 4

I feel there should be an inate strength tied to your size and weight ratio. The taller you are the more weight you need to increase strength And that way you don't have to invest points into it. If you want to be light, you'll be faster but the heavier guys can bully u

Half the screens weren’t even good ones, and multiple jerseys show you just picked the best ones out of however many games behind scenes. It’s ashame man, please go look at my YouTube channel I proved it otherwise my friend.

Aalready did that and bronze physical finisher is all you need to

Been on that since day 1 🤞

@LakerFanYT Laker, you never said it in your videos but repost this and it goes for 200k+ views, you are attached by association, please don’t guilt trip people to feel bad. You know what’s up and I don’t got a problem with you, I just don’t appreciate dishonesty.

you might be on to something

What about strength as it relates to back downs/drop steps? Wanna make a 6’11 with 87 post control to get post up poet gold (for good post spin success) but if i was to go like 40 strength (no post powerhouse) would i still be able to do good back downs and drop steps? Or no?

My Giannis build has like 73 strength and it’s way more than enough 🤣

😵‍💫

Respectfully you're playing Vs ass defenders with low defensive and physical stats

It’s juss a skill gap of knowing how to tap the left stick to set the best screen without a foul, brick wall lvl only matters for people who can’t set screens

So I shouldn’t make this 99 strength,99 perimeter,99 three build ?
