Very good advice. My mindset for every game is to be me, not him but me. For years I’ve just been a 3 and D type of player nothing wrong with it but I wanted to further develop my game to where I’m not so one dimensional. So I developed a post game since most people make their guards with low strength and to create my own shots. The theater helped big time with that. My goal in theater is not to win but to fine tune my game. I struggle in 1v1 cause I’m slower and everyone runs around me buts ok that’s not what I’m striving for. I’m good in rec/proam but suck in 1v1
This is 1000% my mindset when running. Get my points where I can. N get this dub n get outta here. Went with the post for the same reason. Sounds like ya got a nice build on ya hands fam 😎
@@luckyzcorner exactly! It’s more simplified approach to being efficient. Since every guard and their momma wants to get all of the playmaking, shooting, and finishing they possibly can with a steep cost they are helpless defending my post game so I become the focal point when I get that mismatch. Then one of the bigs will come sprinting down like he is Mel Gibson on braveheart but hey post playmaker it’s either an easy dot to the perimeter or an oop to my big
This is very reminiscent of an Agent00 vid I seen years ago with 2k20 that changed my perspective of shooting in 2k. Instead of just wasting time looking at jump shot videos and getting mad at it not working the simple advice he had was just keep using it until you get it down perfect. Something as simple as practice and not getting mad that it isn’t going in is the perfect way to go. Great vid and have a good day
I think I remember the video ur talking about. Made me stop searching for jumpshots online and just rock out with what works for me. Thanks for checking out the video fam 🙏. I appreciate you.
My best advice to people that lack the talent/IQ to play PG or Center is to make a pure lock down build (SF/PF) that has a high enough midrange or three to unlock Tracy McGrady base and just enough finishing to score off of directed cuts to the basket.
I didnt hear you mention this but PGs, you need to understand the ball isnt YOUR baby. Every play doesnt need to end off of your assist. Move the ball unless youre a lethal unguardable player. Slowing the offense because youre assist hunting also destroys the offense. 2. 3s are worth more than 2s. I get it. Go crazy and score how you can. But if you taking 12 dunks and ignoring wide open shooters, you are hurting the offense. The other team is going to get 3s up. And unless yall shut them down, you're putting your team in a low scoring game 3. Put some damn defense on your build. Who cares you average 20 when your matchup scores 25 and forcing folks out of position to save you. 4. You dont have to play games on HOF. Dont do it to yourself. The timing online is different. Go to gatorade to get a feel of how tight the online timing is. Then practice online. I shoot nearly 70% from the field and 3 in the city/theater and i shoot 60% in the rec from both also. I average 15 in the rec and as of the last few days my scoring is actually somewhere around 22. 5. You need to be able to make moving shots to take that next level if being a scorer is your goal. 6. Passing on your build needs to be high enough to at least get bronze dimer 62 passing is the minimum. At 62 passing i average 4 assists and it helps being able to give the ball up once i start getting doubled. On my builds with 87 ish pass i can EASILY get 12 assists. 7 even great scorers run into great defenders. No matter how great i feel i am at scoring, im willing to give the ball up to the open man. A lethal scorer also willing to pass is basically unguardable and a great addition to ANY team.
Great advice in this video. This should one of those videos on the game that you CAN NOT SKIP and have to watch at least once before going into any multiplayer mode 😂
I tell ya what. They needa do something to fix it cuz the game isn’t all that bad. Just the community makes it ten times worse Thanks for checking out the video. I appreciate ya 🤜🤛
I use to play point guard in old 2ks and was good at it without the unnecessary dribbling. But since 23 I started playing rec and realised there are a lot of bad and selfish players in the rec when I thought it was just the park. So I made a center that can guard all positions and make the 3 but it’s frustrating because when low iq players don’t want to pass the ball and abuse the match up of a 6’2 guard matched up against a 6’10 center.
That’s what a lot of folks don’t be realizing. All that and1 stuff look cute for utube. But in reality u don’t need to do all ah day. lol ain’t nothing worse thn forcing the switch dropping it down to ur big and watching them not attack the mismatch. But when they getting doubled they have no issues letting it loose⏸️
I went from playing on a floor spacing slasher to a SF Hybrid Defender and it was the best change I’ve ever made. The game is so much more fun to me now. My productivity went up and so did my Win/Loss
Similar happened to me. Was playing on a small forward playing like a pg. just decided f it ima just make the switch. And similar results lvls of run productivity and wins went way up
The HOF mycareer bit is bad advice. Don't need these rec randoms shootin on cold zones. Rookie for 5 games to unlock art of shooting, maybe a couple more to finish out hotzones, then retire.
i know someone who has made a point guard the last two 2K’s and he absolutely sucks at the position… but he does it because he wants the ball in mycareer…. smh i some gave him advice on the type of build to make in order to have success playing within randoms… but he insists on trying to be steph curry. If there are any new players or players who are trying to get better… please, just create a small forward between 6’7” - 6’10”. Bring that wingspan as high as possible while keeping an 80 3pt. prioritize rebounding, max physicals, some perimeter & interior D, 80+ passing, 81+ steal, 80+ block, an 80 3pt and some driving dunk & standing dunk (75 & 45 is ideal). If you are trying to find friends who play 2k, you have to keep in mind that most groups already have their PG & Center established.. so just create a wing who can do a little bit of everything.. you’ll have a better time
I say this all the time. SF around that height is the best place to start out. That looks like a respectable build too. But u already know how it be. I hope fam is able to get the ball handling together. Sounds rough.
Bro its crazy how people dont want to actually practice and learn. This is my first 2k online since 20. Made a build and then met a group willing to take me in and get back up to speed. Scrapped the build and switched to a big. Im fucking loving it. Practiced meter standings and my shot for hours and several key big man moves. Practice makes perfect and now I'm loving the game again
Bro....the 3rd reason made me want to go into random rec, cuss people out, and leave lol the last couple days me and my homie have been playing with others who ALL were trying to do too much! I swear I ask multiple times a day "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN AT?!?!?!" Another thing I've noticed is that most people are trying to push the tempo of a game the entire game and they not only do they not understand that you don't always have to play fast and aggressive, but they don't even know how to in the first place. I started slowing down my playstyle and people started just flying by me. They start guarding people where there is no one and I get easy buckets. And I can't stand when someone passes me the ball on a fast break before I get into position. Now for me to get a high percentage shot, it takes more time because I have to catch the ball, which we all know slows you down for some reason, then run to my spot, stop, then shoot. I could take a fade, but those are inconsistent for me. Just wait another second, let me get closer to spot so I can catch and shoot. Would be way more space for me to take the shot and I'd be more stable to take a good looking shot. Position is everything and if people just took the time to pay attention, we'd have a lot more quality games out here.
That's just one example of many, where impatience, bad timing and bad positioning is the reason they're bad at the game lol If people realized that what they do effects what others do, they'd understand that subtle movements will get you open or your teammates open way more than b-lining it right to where someone else already is.
Folks be making the game way harder thn it needs to be simple dribbles pass the ball when ur doubled. It’s crazy how many folks out here are trying to make highlight tapes. What kills me is when dude has the a.i. defending him and he starts running a track meet. It’s like if u just sit in a corner and wait for ur a.i. to help n just hit the open shot. But instead folks would rather try and dribble past him knowing damn well they can’t dribbble and a.i. defense is good this year. Thanks for the continued support fam appreciate u 🤜🤛
@luckyzcorner I actually learned the middy fades are money against ai. No sense in trying to get ai off you though. It's not happenin! Very few people are that nice. But like you said, why make it difficult? Pass the rock! Understand, this ain't gon be yo game fam! Sit in the corner. You'll get your shots. People got too much ego though.
@@luckyzcorner Just joined up. I'll be keeping an eye out for when you're posting to run. Or just hit me up. I'm at my PC pretty much all day, so I should see it pretty quick.
I hear no lies in this video. I'm in tears 🤣 . The wings that cut back and fourth on the court multiple times in 1 play kills me. Sit yo ass still sometimes bro
lol dudes be dead ass running suicide drills mid game. N when they finally do settle downs it’s right next to me/you as ya bout to take a wide open shot. And of course the defender gets a red contest. Cant make this ish up lol Thanks for checking the video out. Appreciate you 🤜🤛
Im not gonna lie im def guilty of doing this and its not intentional at all the movement is really weird this year imo I havent played since 2k21 and I feel like im just sliding everywhere and dont actually have control of my players movements especially when it comes to stopping on a dime its like im being pulled or sliding into terrible positioning.
This years AI is insane. I hate going into rec and matched up with an AI. Its almost always a guaranteed low scoring. And being stuck corner sitting. You help once they turn into Curry. As much as that sucks the worst is having someone quit out in a 1v1 game. This years AI turns into a pissed off MJ with Ben Wallace strength and Curry range. Craziest thing ive ever seen. Every cheese someone can use in the game the AI does. Most maddening thing ever.
Should of mentioned the guys hogging the ball trying to take on the whole team by themself then selling its a "TEAM" game in rec got guys tryna do lay ups with 5 defenders in the paint
This is so true. I try to be Kobe but I shoot like Michael Kid Gilchrist. But then if I make a pure playmaker and try to get everyone open and they sell me it fucking hurts bro…..
Ngl I just copped this game and I haven't played a sports game in years. I tried to hop right on make my build work. I got cooked by the cpu didn't and still don't really know what to do. I'm dogwater right now. Thanks for this video. My approach has been too wrong.
It be like that fam. Check out some of the videos on the channel should help ya to get started out. What position/build did u go with? Thanks for checking out the video. I appreciate u 🤜🤛
@@luckyzcorner I played around with the builder working on 4's and 5's. I ended with a Duncan shade on my PF and shade of Olajuwon on my 5. That's what I'm gearing towards.
the problem with me if i try to be center but when they pass me the ball i cant shoot threes only get a lot of rebounds and layups and when i try to play pg i cant timing my jumpshot
Well shoot if u play better at the center spot thn just master that. Lean all the way in the being a monster rebounder. Master the post game Join the discord we can run Gatorade and lab up the post work
can we just agree after 2k22 this shi jusy got bootsy 23 was alr but with the delay now and the inconsistent timing on 24 makes it impossible to stay sane and play the game i was tuff in 20,21,22 even 23 this the first 2k that all i can do is play good defense makes the game boring af
I respect ya opinion. But shit it ain’t ez to win the rebound battle and playing immaculate help defense and still be able to recover out to ur mans in the corner. All while being expected to hit(granted they are wide usually) 3 pointers with a low 3 rating. A lot is asked of dudes
That it certainly does. But thn they end up picking up bad tendencies and habits. Imo I’ll use the street ball for badges n hot zones. More space and ezer difficulty. And thn try to use mycareer to practice for rec. imo of course
lol thanks for checking out the video fam I appreciate you 🤜🤛 It is wild. Like a good 70-80% of my Lz come from some one just doing way to much. Rarely is it that the other team is just straight up better. Gotta love it lol
Lol when I play rec a lot for first time back in NBA 2K22, I play like I am role player. Now in NBA 2K24, I play rec like it's MyCareer game 😂... It's easy once you figured out how to play rec/parks properly.
Bro thank you I went from a 10 point a game with 5 assist as a pg to a 3 and d sg who can dunk and now I’m at 25 and 4. That first tip saved my 2k career
I’m a beast on D. So I make pure locks. 99 defense 3s, and dunking. NO HANDLES. And I play within my skill set. Lock up the other teams best scorer, then sit my ass in the corner and be ready to shoot or cut when asked. Simple.
Shooting isn’t that hard in my opinion. I’ve always made bigs that were primarily finishers, and elite rebounders. This year I made a 3 level glass cleaner with a 78 3 ball and literally cash out with 3-7 3 pointers a game. It’s all about passing the ball out when the shot isn’t there. Too many players try to iso and shoot the 3 when there are other options available on the court such as pick and roll, pick and pop, cutters, spot up. IQ is where players are lacking
Bro, I'm a pass first guy I really like dishing and defending. My weakness is dribble😂. Should I just practice dribbling so I can continue being a pg or just become 3 and D guy? Shooting is easier to learn than dribbling.
Depends on u. If u don’t mind investing the time and learning how to dribble I say go for it. Plus it don’t really take that much. Or just go with the 3nD route.
I feel like ppl don’t realize not everyone plays park. Ppls tips only talk g about online play. My most played is my career and the starting 5 game mode, I prefer having a crowd in the stands it makes it more fun when you cook and the crowd goes nuts
I don’t think a big setting a ball screen means they think they’re him. I do think there’s wayy too few people who model their player to a way that makes them a good screener though. I have been playing rec/pro-am with my “Steven Adams” build for like three years. So few players build players who can pass that I find myself leading games in assists so often I am surprised when I don’t. This year especially I have seen a chronic not passing the ball problem unless it’s an assist, no one wants to make a swing touch pass at all
Na it’s more so them forcing themselves to be the focal point of the offense every play, that constitutes them thinking they are HIM. Join the discord. Always looking for bigs to run with.
@@luckyzcorner I tend to play the “I may score 4 points but I get 25 rebounds and 10 assists” type and just played a Chet Holmgren build who found out the hard way that strength is in fact a valuable statistic. I may very well do that!
Yo, what are you recording your voice with? Is it a headset or a mic? Just wondering bc I'm trying to improve my videos and your audio sounds so crispy. Also thank you for the video I really needed this
No doubt fam. Thanks for checking the video out. Appreciate you. I’m using a blue yeti and recording on obs with OD filters set. Funny I feel like I still need to work on the audio. Thanks again fam
DO THE TEAM DRILLS! Trust me, you’ll learn skills that get overshadowed in a regular game. Especially do the ones that are difficult or you’re unfamiliar with
I can def get with these only issue is the practice facility is on rookie difficulty. But it’s still nice to work on them skills that ones no familiar with
@@luckyzcorner yea it’s just to learn the mechanics and proper spacing. You’ll be surprised how many people don’t know how to space out on a fast break
Let’s emphasize that point where you said YOU AINT THE MAIN CHARACTER!! Don’t be so desperate to score, and let it happen naturally. I’ve played games where I have 4 points going into the 4th just playing my role but because the rest of the team was drawing attention I started getting the ball and end up with the most points on the team .
So is this advice just for console players? Because on Steam, your monster build means nothing compared to a hacker that actually knows how to play. Anyone of you ever play in a rec. With an invisible player?
About to send this vid to one of my homies lol. This dude blames 2k for everything. He'll go 0-5 from the 3 and blame it on latency while I'm 6/6 from the 3 🙄 complains when a player is cooking him and say "the dude is just fast" but yet his build is actually faster 😂 cries if he has to guard a sg while he's a sf with 90+ prem defense and yet still gets cooked. Dude also dribbles with his head down. You'll have people open in the corner and his excuse was nah man the mf was closing out on y'all and would've stole the ball 🙄😡. Half the time I just appear offline and play solo rec & cook in there instead of getting destroyed in squad rec with him 😂
Lmfaoo crazy. Sounds exactly like this dude I be running with. Had to go offline too. 2k be holdin tho cuz it’ll still tell them I’m online in game I think lol
Actually knowing how to play the game of basketball is important too. Anybody can press buttons but if you don’t understand floor spacing, help defense, adjusting your play style according to how your opponent plays, etc. you are going to suck and not even realize it lmao
Bro, you did not say playing center is one of the hardest positions to play 😂 Center is dang near the easiest position to play behind PF and that’s only because most PF get no action
@@luckyzcorner u get spoon fed buckets all game and all u gotta do is right stick up, box out and hold the pass button when u get a rebound , that’s the easiest position 😂
Then spoon fed shots are not as often as one would think. N right stick and up is getting blocked or ur jumping into sumones body 🤦🏿♂️. But seriously tho it’s more so on defense where it gets hard for bigs with hedging and having to take em the paint on defense and still guard a popper. Its ezer thn pg definitely but harder thn sitting corner or playing wing where ya mainly gotta hit ya opens and not get bsckdoored ⏸️ imo at least
Anyone know what difficulty the build tester is on? I want to make a shooting build on a guard with a 90 3 ball because im not used to shootings online.
My question is how can you be good at a sports game that offers you "perks" (badges) that increases your skill and play style? There's no real skill involved...
This year was the first year I ever played 2k, or even watched basketball in general. Got put into the spin cycle on Pro difficulty, forget playing online. A newbie guide just to get dumbasses like me on the right path would be awesome. This video was helpful, but I'm a fucking retard apparently idk I laughed hard at dropping a 100 piece on Kawhi's head. Literally did that then put the difficulty up and got blended.
@@luckyzcorner “ight” ain’t it we both know that lol 2k use to be a solid game to enjoy. The my career is ass , rec / park is all the same far as players / builds the matchmaking is another level of ass gas lol but that’s what happens when u can make millions off a presale with no game footage .

What kills me is when dude has the a.i. defending him and he starts running a track meet. It’s like if u just sit in a corner and wait for ur a.i. to help n just hit the open shot. But instead folks would rather try and dribble past him knowing damn well they can’t dribbble and a.i. defense is good this year.
Thanks for the continued support fam appreciate u 🤜🤛
@luckyzcorner I actually learned the middy fades are money against ai. No sense in trying to get ai off you though. It's not happenin! Very few people are that nice. But like you said, why make it difficult? Pass the rock! Understand, this ain't gon be yo game fam! Sit in the corner. You'll get your shots. People got too much ego though.
@@luckyzcorner Just joined up. I'll be keeping an eye out for when you're posting to run. Or just hit me up. I'm at my PC pretty much all day, so I should see it pretty quick.
@@xXDEUC35Xx I got you fam
Those 1v1s are underrated fir a bunch of reasons. Test ur build urself, learn better D and helps control urself too.
It’s part of my daily routine now. Gotta get at least one in before jumping into the rec
I hear no lies in this video. I'm in tears 🤣 . The wings that cut back and fourth on the court multiple times in 1 play kills me. Sit yo ass still sometimes bro
lol dudes be dead ass running suicide drills mid game. N when they finally do settle downs it’s right next to me/you as ya bout to take a wide open shot. And of course the defender gets a red contest.
Cant make this ish up lol
Thanks for checking the video out. Appreciate you 🤜🤛
Im not gonna lie im def guilty of doing this and its not intentional at all the movement is really weird this year imo I havent played since 2k21 and I feel like im just sliding everywhere and dont actually have control of my players movements especially when it comes to stopping on a dime its like im being pulled or sliding into terrible positioning.
This years AI is insane. I hate going into rec and matched up with an AI. Its almost always a guaranteed low scoring. And being stuck corner sitting. You help once they turn into Curry. As much as that sucks the worst is having someone quit out in a 1v1 game. This years AI turns into a pissed off MJ with Ben Wallace strength and Curry range. Craziest thing ive ever seen. Every cheese someone can use in the game the AI does. Most maddening thing ever.
The ai def can be annoying. Only success I find against them is the post game. They bite on every fake
Frfr I can’t shoot and realize my style in 2k has always been grinding the hole with bigs. Now I’m an elite ass center
Yo I respect the crap outta that. More folks needa reevaluate they build choice.
Should of mentioned the guys hogging the ball trying to take on the whole team by themself then selling its a "TEAM" game in rec got guys tryna do lay ups with 5 defenders in the paint
Lol that sounds an awful lot like homie is doing way to much
Exactly
This is so true. I try to be Kobe but I shoot like Michael Kid Gilchrist. But then if I make a pure playmaker and try to get everyone open and they sell me it fucking hurts bro…..
That’s the life of a random fam. But some times u will get that perfect game and it be almost all worth it lol
Ngl I just copped this game and I haven't played a sports game in years. I tried to hop right on make my build work. I got cooked by the cpu didn't and still don't really know what to do. I'm dogwater right now. Thanks for this video. My approach has been too wrong.
It be like that fam. Check out some of the videos on the channel should help ya to get started out. What position/build did u go with?
Thanks for checking out the video. I appreciate u 🤜🤛
@@luckyzcorner I played around with the builder working on 4's and 5's. I ended with a Duncan shade on my PF and shade of Olajuwon on my 5. That's what I'm gearing towards.
the problem with me if i try to be center but when they pass me the ball i cant shoot threes only get a lot of rebounds and layups and when i try to play pg i cant timing my jumpshot
Well shoot if u play better at the center spot thn just master that. Lean all the way in the being a monster rebounder. Master the post game
Join the discord we can run Gatorade and lab up the post work
can we just agree after 2k22 this shi jusy got bootsy 23 was alr but with the delay now and the inconsistent timing on 24 makes it impossible to stay sane and play the game i was tuff in 20,21,22 even 23 this the first 2k that all i can do is play good defense makes the game boring af
The main character syndrome 🤣🤣 i preach that everyday on the game 😂
It’s arguably one of the main reasons why the game dies out halfway thru its yearly cycle
Center is definitely not one of the hardest positions to play lol, in fact i'd argue it's the easiest
I respect ya opinion. But shit it ain’t ez to win the rebound battle and playing immaculate help defense and still be able to recover out to ur mans in the corner. All while being expected to hit(granted they are wide usually) 3 pointers with a low 3 rating.
A lot is asked of dudes
What you not telling them about rookie and pro settings is that it allows for easy spamming of badges to build your players game.
That it certainly does. But thn they end up picking up bad tendencies and habits. Imo I’ll use the street ball for badges n hot zones. More space and ezer difficulty. And thn try to use mycareer to practice for rec. imo of course
juss play play the city fr bc at a time i couldn’t shoot but i’ve learned as i played next gen
Yeah haven’t played last gen in a few 2ks now.
Well done sir
Thank you for checking out the video my good sir
Appreciate you fam 🤜🤛
😂😂😂😂 mmmmaannnn i had a hard time finishing this video from laughing... especially that HIM part cuz MY GOD i see it all the time
lol thanks for checking out the video fam I appreciate you 🤜🤛
It is wild. Like a good 70-80% of my Lz come from some one just doing way to much. Rarely is it that the other team is just straight up better. Gotta love it lol
Rec should be hall of fame mode in both teams
I would t even be mad
Lol when I play rec a lot for first time back in NBA 2K22, I play like I am role player.
Now in NBA 2K24, I play rec like it's MyCareer game 😂...
It's easy once you figured out how to play rec/parks properly.
This exactly. Except I still play like a role player. I just be out there trying to win games. If I score I score it is what it is for me.
Bro thank you I went from a 10 point a game with 5 assist as a pg to a 3 and d sg who can dunk and now I’m at 25 and 4. That first tip saved my 2k career
Anytime. Glad u found the video helpful
💪
Pro tip - only use Turbo if needed u don’t need to sprint everywhere most times I just walk
That’s a fact. Once I stopped running All over the place it def took my game up a lvl
I’m a beast on D. So I make pure locks. 99 defense 3s, and dunking. NO HANDLES. And I play within my skill set. Lock up the other teams best scorer, then sit my ass in the corner and be ready to shoot or cut when asked. Simple.
My best advice for these rec randoms is to just stay in my career or go play park
lol or play try out starting 5 if they looking to b the focal point on offense every possession
i jus started playing gaurd a week ago and i’m already mvp. i’m not no 6’6 either… i jus put on curry base and learned to L2 cancel
I can respect it. Haven’t ran a build under 6’5 yet
lol this is like an intervention. Very good points.
lol thank fam. Just trying to do my part to help out the community ya know.
Thanks for checking out the video I appreciate you 🤜🤛
@@luckyzcorner respect 🤜🏾🤛🏾
Shooting isn’t that hard in my opinion. I’ve always made bigs that were primarily finishers, and elite rebounders. This year I made a 3 level glass cleaner with a 78 3 ball and literally cash out with 3-7 3 pointers a game. It’s all about passing the ball out when the shot isn’t there. Too many players try to iso and shoot the 3 when there are other options available on the court such as pick and roll, pick and pop, cutters, spot up. IQ is where players are lacking
Bro, I'm a pass first guy I really like dishing and defending. My weakness is dribble😂. Should I just practice dribbling so I can continue being a pg or just become 3 and D guy? Shooting is easier to learn than dribbling.
Depends on u. If u don’t mind investing the time and learning how to dribble I say go for it. Plus it don’t really take that much. Or just go with the 3nD route.
I feel like ppl don’t realize not everyone plays park. Ppls tips only talk g about online play. My most played is my career and the starting 5 game mode, I prefer having a crowd in the stands it makes it more fun when you cook and the crowd goes nuts
I def am enjoying the starting 5 not gone lie to you
The use of exploited cheese animations over an over again along with the cherry picking kills this game for me.
This is a very good video man. Really good advice!
Anytime family. U already know
@@luckyzcorner ❤️🙏
I don’t think a big setting a ball screen means they think they’re him. I do think there’s wayy too few people who model their player to a way that makes them a good screener though.
I have been playing rec/pro-am with my “Steven Adams” build for like three years. So few players build players who can pass that I find myself leading games in assists so often I am surprised when I don’t.
This year especially I have seen a chronic not passing the ball problem unless it’s an assist, no one wants to make a swing touch pass at all
Na it’s more so them forcing themselves to be the focal point of the offense every play, that constitutes them thinking they are HIM.
Join the discord. Always looking for bigs to run with.
@@luckyzcorner I tend to play the “I may score 4 points but I get 25 rebounds and 10 assists” type and just played a Chet Holmgren build who found out the hard way that strength is in fact a valuable statistic.
I may very well do that!
Dude told me he can shoot. Said he dropped 112 in my career on rookie‼️🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s a key indicator sumone about to go 4/27 from deep lol
SWITCH TO THE STRETCH BIG SO YOUR CENTER CAN PROTECT THE RIM AND REBOUND!
More bigs need to hear this

DO THE TEAM DRILLS! Trust me, you’ll learn skills that get overshadowed in a regular game. Especially do the ones that are difficult or you’re unfamiliar with
I can def get with these only issue is the practice facility is on rookie difficulty. But it’s still nice to work on them skills that ones no familiar with
@@luckyzcorner yea it’s just to learn the mechanics and proper spacing. You’ll be surprised how many people don’t know how to space out on a fast break
Great video. I need more content from you.

Tried making a pg for the 1st time and was lost 😂😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️

@@luckyzcorner good video bro, keep grinding
Leave PAINT DEFENSE to your bigs in Rec.
Your bronze anchor aint needed down low. We need you covering G DAMN SHOOTERS!
Can’t agree more with this statement
Well said
Thanks for checking out the video. I appreciate you 🤝
Let’s emphasize that point where you said YOU AINT THE MAIN CHARACTER!! Don’t be so desperate to score, and let it happen naturally. I’ve played games where I have 4 points going into the 4th just playing my role but because the rest of the team was drawing attention I started getting the ball and end up with the most points on the team .
Got to let the offense come to you. Most folks that be complaining online are the same ones forcing it up over multiple defenders.
So is this advice just for console players? Because on Steam, your monster build means nothing compared to a hacker that actually knows how to play. Anyone of you ever play in a rec. With an invisible player?
lol I’ve yet to run pc 2k. Heard it’s the Wild West out thur
having a life and not being overweight indeed sucks
About to send this vid to one of my homies lol. This dude blames 2k for everything. He'll go 0-5 from the 3 and blame it on latency while I'm 6/6 from the 3 🙄 complains when a player is cooking him and say "the dude is just fast" but yet his build is actually faster 😂 cries if he has to guard a sg while he's a sf with 90+ prem defense and yet still gets cooked. Dude also dribbles with his head down. You'll have people open in the corner and his excuse was nah man the mf was closing out on y'all and would've stole the ball 🙄😡. Half the time I just appear offline and play solo rec & cook in there instead of getting destroyed in squad rec with him 😂
Lmfaoo crazy. Sounds exactly like this dude I be running with. Had to go offline too. 2k be holdin tho cuz it’ll still tell them I’m online in game I think lol
Actually knowing how to play the game of basketball is important too. Anybody can press buttons but if you don’t understand floor spacing, help defense, adjusting your play style according to how your opponent plays, etc. you are going to suck and not even realize it lmao
You can def tell within the first qtr who knows basketball and who’s just out here pressing buttons
DOING 2 MUCH💯😮💨😮💨
lol u already know it’s fitting to be a long game once u see them track stars start up 🤦🏿♂️
Bro, you did not say playing center is one of the hardest positions to play 😂 Center is dang near the easiest position to play behind PF and that’s only because most PF get no action
Ez to play harder to excel
Bro said why you suck on 2k he don’t give af
lol First step to unsuckin(⏸️) is admitting ya suck

Updated version of the one linked in description, just upped the ball handling a bit.
Mans talking like 2K only have my career mode
Wait they got other game modes? 🤯
Center one of the hardest positions to play? Huh??
Second hardest after PG
@@luckyzcorner u get spoon fed buckets all game and all u gotta do is right stick up, box out and hold the pass button when u get a rebound , that’s the easiest position 😂
Then spoon fed shots are not as often as one would think. N right stick and up is getting blocked or ur jumping into sumones body 🤦🏿♂️.
But seriously tho it’s more so on defense where it gets hard for bigs with hedging and having to take em the paint on defense and still guard a popper. Its ezer thn pg definitely but harder thn sitting corner or playing wing where ya mainly gotta hit ya opens and not get bsckdoored ⏸️ imo at least
Nigga yes the 1 and the 5 are the most important positions on the game
Anyone know what difficulty the build tester is on? I want to make a shooting build on a guard with a 90 3 ball because im not used to shootings online.
I think it’s on rookie. At best pro. If anything just create a player in a franchise n test it out over thur
