RH2 The Journey best build for every position: Setup Guide

If you want the RH2 The Journey best build for every position, start by matching the build to its job rather than copying one attribute spread across every role. Guards need shooting, ball control, and stamina. Wings need enough strength and defense to survive switches. Bigs must decide whether they want post scoring, interior defense, rebounding, or dominant finishing.

Two tested approaches are useful here. The structured attribute spreads emphasize badge thresholds and balanced gameplay, while the community build approach places greater value on maximum height, maximum weight, and strength. Neither approach has to replace the other. Use the first as a reliable template, then adjust individual ratings around your preferred playstyle.

Video Highlights:

• Position-by-position build concepts for PG, SG, and SF
• Why strength, stamina, and dunking can influence build value
• Shooting thresholds around mid-range, three-point, and free-throw ratings
• Takeover ideas including Lone Ranger, Matador, and defensive options

Point guard and shooting guard builds overlap, but their priorities are different. The PG should be able to create a shot, protect the ball, and make reliable passes. The SG can surrender some ball-handling value in exchange for stronger shooting and perimeter defense.

The PG template uses a 6'5″, 170-pound frame with 80 driving layup, 88 mid-range shooting, 85 three-point shooting, 86 pass accuracy, 85 ball handle, and 85 speed with ball. Its physical targets include 89 speed, 85 acceleration, and 90 stamina. The defensive core is 80 perimeter defense and 84 steal.

The SG template uses a taller 6'7″, 180-pound frame. It targets 95 driving layup, 95 mid-range shooting, and 95 three-point shooting. Its 90 perimeter defense, 78 steal, 78 pass accuracy, and 95 stamina create a strong off-ball and two-way profile.

For the PG, Lone Ranger or Bone Collector works well as a primary takeover choice. Rolling Deep is a practical team-oriented option. For the SG, Matador, Spotlight, and Lone Ranger fit different preferences: Matador supports mobility, while the shooting-oriented options reinforce contested perimeter scoring.

Recommended PG badges include Gold Relentless Finisher, Gold Tireless Shooter, Gold Range Extender, Gold Quick Draw, Hall of Fame Dimer, Silver Unpluckable, Silver Quick Chain, Gold Pick Pocket, and Silver Bullhorn. The SG should prioritize Hall of Fame Quick Draw, Hall of Fame Range Extender, Gold Fearless Shooter, Gold Clamps, Silver Pick Pocket, and Silver Bullhorn.

The small forward has to cover more responsibilities than either guard. A good SF must attack closeouts, defend the perimeter, finish through contact, and still provide enough shooting to prevent cramped spacing. The Slashing Shooter template is designed for that flexible role.

The recommended frame is 6'9″ and 190 pounds. Its key ratings are 80 driving layup, 88 driving dunk, 88 mid-range shooting, 85 three-point shooting, 95 perimeter defense, 60 strength, 72 vertical, and 90 stamina. The 60 pass accuracy rating gives the build enough basic utility without taking too many points from scoring and defense.

This build is not intended to replace a dedicated PG or SG. Its value comes from being useful in several matchups. On offense, drive when defenders close too hard and use the 85 three-point rating when teammates create open looks. On defense, use the 95 perimeter defense to contest wings and force difficult drives.

The recommended badge direction is Gold Quick Draw, Gold Fearless Shooter, Gold Range Extender, Silver Tireless Shooter, Gold Contact Finisher, Silver Lob City Finisher, Hall of Fame Bullhorn, and Silver Clamps. Bronze Pick Pocket can be added if you want another defensive utility option.

Lone Ranger and Perimeter Enforcer are natural takeover choices. Since the SF template is an all-around build, the best selection depends on whether your team needs additional shooting pressure or stronger defensive disruption.

Power forward and center builds should be selected according to the way you want to score. The PF template is a versatile inside-out scorer with post control, shooting, passing, rebounding, and strong interior defense. The C template gives up shooting to maximize paint finishing, rebounding, strength, and rim protection.

The PF frame is 6'11″ and 220 pounds. The important ratings are 85 close shot, 70 driving layup, 95 post control, 85 mid-range shooting, 82 three-point shooting, 70 pass accuracy, 85 interior defense, 70 block, 85 rebound, 87 strength, and 82 stamina.

The C frame is 7'1″ and 230 pounds. It targets 85 close shot, 78 driving layup, 85 standing dunk, 77 post control, 70 pass accuracy, 95 interior defense, 85 block, 92 rebound, 92 strength, 74 vertical, and 80 stamina. Its mid-range and three-point ratings remain at 25, so this is a dedicated paint build.

For the PF, Boundless, Spotlight, and Post Bully are useful takeover directions. Hivemind and Rolling Deep can support team play. Badge priorities include Gold Deep Hooks, Gold Relentless Finisher, Hall of Fame Deep Fades, Gold Quick Draw, Gold Catch and Shoot, Silver Dimer, Silver Post Playmaker, Gold Bulldozer, Silver Bullhorn, Silver Rebound Chaser, Silver Intimidator, and Silver Brick Wall.

For the C, Gladiator is the recommended defensive direction, while Encircle and Hivemind provide team-focused alternatives. The key badges are Gold Relentless Finisher, Gold Pro Touch, Gold Lob City Finisher, Silver Contact Finisher, Gold Post Playmaker, Gold Bulldozer, Gold Rebound Chaser, Silver Bullhorn, Silver Intimidator, and Silver Brick Wall.

Use this process whenever you create or modify a position build. It prevents a promising attribute spread from losing an important badge tier during the final adjustments.
