Recommendations

Since shooting is usually a pain in 2K, it might be wise to pick either Oklahoma, Florida, Syracuse, UCLA, or Villanova. Those five schools all offer some form of boost, with ‘Nova and Oklahoma both offering ones over +1.

If you’re looking for a more even boost, the Florida Gators might be for you. All four subsets get an even +1 boost, which certainly isn’t bad for more balanced builds.

Ultimately, it’s up to you, as you should pick one that suits your weaknesses, not your strengths. If you struggle on D, pick schools that offer a Defense/Rebounding boost. But as mentioned earlier, you might want to lean more towards schools that offer shooting boosts, just because that is vital to success in 2K.
