Who is the Playmaker?
The Playmaker, in basketball, is usually the “smallest” player of the team, but also the most agile and fast one. We can define him as the “conductor” of the offensive phases of the team, and is able to provide assistance to teammates, as well as terminate the attack attempts. Conceptually it plays the same role as the Quarterback in Football. We have already talked to you, in dedicated guides, about the positions of the Center, Big Wing, Small Wing and Guard. As in the other cases, we will divide this article into two distinct parts: the one related to the creation of the best build for the Playmaker possible in NBA 2K22 for Current-Gen (PS5, Xbox Series X | S) and for Last-Gen (PS4, Xbox One ).
Before you start creating your MyPlayer, you will need to create one the physical appearance of the face. There are many physical parameters to retouch, from the color of the skin to that of the eyes and, even more significantly, that of the hair.
