As a professional random I must say everything was spot on. Not having a squad will have your w/L looking bonkers but that makes the win streaks that much more appreciating. And one thing I’ve learned running randoms only is your biggest haters can be your teammates
HEAVY on that last part... HEAVY! I just played a game today with randoms let me just say someone literally left their man open every play main reason we lost, but mostly everyone played no defense. But I started like 6/6 from three no misses, I miss one shot the big man on my team flops on me... im now about 7/8. That's when I knew he was a hater. Meanwhile he shot 6/13 taking contested standing layups with an undersized center. Then, we lose because he let a small guard lay him to tie the game and we lose in OT. It's crazy the most trash person will send you a message calling you trash just because I'm scoring while someone keeps leaving me open. People are HATERS. If I see someones man leaving them open I'm going to let them eat. People are WEIRD!! Don't get me wrong I play with a lot of cool teammates and win but man A LOT of these guys are truly a headache to play with.....
Aint nothing wrong with inside centers IF you are playing with a squad and the offense is centered around pick and roll. They have a use in Pro AM. In random rec, they are no good unless they know the PG. With that being said, they are not at bad as the dudes who can't stay still and cut all game long, and can't hit open 3's.
@@CDiesel720 We talking about randoms, a good player can make any build useful but they be posting up in the high post so can't nobody drive, give up a 3 every play, the only move they got is a dropstep, then they man be taller can shoot and run way faster.
@@CDiesel720 Another problem is Rec matchmaking puts these inside centers at the 4 and then adds another one at the 5. Having 2 builds that can't shoot added to what you already get from randoms the spacing becomes a nightmare.
I'm so glad that you're a popular 2K figure that actually plays random rec. NOBODY talks about these issues that have quite frankly ruined the game mode. While you can't fix stupid, 2K can do a lot to help normal people avoid these trolls. Basic matchmaking would solve a majority of it by putting players that want to (and can) win together and leaving those "less talented" to play with each other.
they already have matchmaking. when you play rec on like a 90-93, thats who you'll be matched up with but even if you play rec on 99 you'll 9/10 get teamed with idiots at a high 96-99 overall

bro I swear I hate 90% of inside centers in the rec lol don't set screens just stand under the rim and clog the paint. And yea those mfs never pass out even after missing like 2-3 layups in a row
Well let’s also be fair inside centers actually suck this year like some people just wanna play like a real center but u can’t really do that in 2k cuz layups and post moves suck some people don’t enjoy sitting in the corner all game just standing there that’s not what centers do irl but centers also don’t suck irl at scoring. Also tbh at like 6:17 u see the problem with 2k like dawg no nba center are missing those layups those are open af realistically.
I’m a 99 defensive anchor with 99 offensive and defensive rebounding, 99 block. I get several offensive rebounds a game and I always kick it back out. Only score 8 to 10 points a game but I grab 15 to 20 rebounds a game on rec. I just set screens, catch lobs and grab boards. I need guys to run with!!!
Man I made a inside center that is good …but go into Rec with randoms and then pass out the offensive rebounds and they drive in and try to dunk on me before I can even clear instead of shooting a wide the fuck open 3 lmfao… I had to make a center that can shoot as well, because some guards “don’t need screens”
passing out as a center must be outlawed or something cuz them MFs dont have a pass button. idk whats worse PGs who dont pass or bigs who dont pass out
If you play 5’s, you never truly understand how good your C is, until you play with a bad one. I can’t stress enough how valuable a skilled big can be in winning in 2k. And so many people take that for granted. It’s a game changer when a C has a deep bag
As someone who mainly plays Center on 2K, the only time I don’t pass out after getting an offensive rebound is if the guards aren’t passing it to me when I perfectly cut to the paint or I’m just straight up wide open in the paint and just not getting the ball. It’s a 2-Way street. You can’t ball hog and take contested shots or get double teamed and not pass it to the wide open man but then turn around and get mad at the big who’s not passing out after getting an offensive rebound. I have a Nikola Jokic type of mindset when it comes to my Playmaking on my Center builds. I have at least Gold Dimer on all my builds so it’s not like I don’t enjoy Playmaking. There’s been plenty of times, in fact 9 times out of 10, I end up having the most assists out of everyone and they’ll still be selfish with the ball after I’ve been Playmaking my ass off. Everyone wants to score so just look for the open man and try to get everyone involved to make everyone happy. Obviously the goal is to win but the game doesn’t have to be won selfishly.
Worst is when a random comes in talking about how bad the randoms is, and they only doing to hit lvl 40, but then do randoms things like take dumb shots or make stupid passes and just blame it on the game instead of taking accountability and then get mad at people for making a mistake when they literally just did the same thing
I think the biggest issue with these centers is the fact that they’re so used to being able to go back up with it. This is my first 2k in 2-3 years and in most of the past 2ks I’ve played it’s been pretty consistent going back up with it but this years post scoring/standing lays has to be the dumbest shit ever. I learned early to just pass that bitch unless you’re wide tf open
@@UnderGroundSkoopTVexactly! I’ve seen inside bigs miss layups with their hands right above the rim but a 6’1 guard can go down and dunk on the entire team every single play. It doesn’t make sense
Something randoms need to hear. If you’re a wing and you don’t have the ball, stand in the corner. Don’t stand on the elbow, or the wing and especially not the top of the key. If you’re in any of those spaces, the point guard can’t do shit. They can’t drive because your guard is in position to pinch, and they can’t use the pick and roll for the same reason. Unless you’re on weak side and they’re driving, you should be in the corner, or cutting from the corner
@@rymesyt851 One elbow/wing can be occupied. Top of key and oppo wing needs to be clear. If pg rotates toward you, cut to rim or wrap around up top to other wing
@@rymesyt851 then it’s ok to be on the wing as it’d be a 5 out offense formation. If it turns into that, then things like back cuts and screens will be easier since there’s nobody in the paint. Also, if you do get in that position on the wing, try to be a little deeper behind the three point line (still in shooting range though), so the point guard still has a bit of space.
Percentage wise if im playing rec its probably with randoms 60-70% of the time. But when i am playing with my boys i alway tell them, if randoms were honest about it they would 100% rather score the ball (or try too) than win the game. There has been countless games where i get completely iced out after a 12-15pt quarter by myself alone and im just forced to watch the other team slowly come back cause my team has ZERO offense or IQ for that matter.
Vote to kick is the answer to toxic REC randoms. I remember having the feature in Rainbow Six: Vegas back in the day, it worked so well. If I get voted out the game by 4 other players, I just have to accept that maybe they saw a reason to all agree that they'd be better off with my AI. I think the feature actually urges players to communicate, "Yo, my bad, don't kick me!" " An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life." -Robert A. Heinlein, Beyond This Horizon
Just recently, a squad of 4 shut me out and I was the Center. No turnovers, grabbing boards, hadn’t missed a shot. I had a mismatch and started doing my post spin… *TIMEOUT* I was HOT! Another instance was when we had a terrible PG who ended up quitting after a 0/7 start, but the SG & PF we’re squadded. They literally just kept icon passing back and forth to each other. The SF and myself never bothered going down on offense because we knew the ball wasn’t coming to us. I hate quoting games, but sometimes you’re forced to.
@@jayoocapoo I play most of my REC games with randoms. Can’t just do that with any build though. And no, I don’t like losing. 65% playing with randoms ain’t so bad.
this vid highlights a lot of the main issues with playing with randoms in rec. lotta the times they be gettin on the mic they just be old heads or just straight up ego hoopers who don't care. like you said you can't fix stupid, also can't teach a old ass dog new tricks. All of us rec players who play with randos we gotta keep that strong mental tho bro 💪🏽 I love to see it
@@legendlonewolf1 most oldheads don’t understand 2K they come in with expectation that’s it’s mycareer or real life. and then they throw a tantrum when you don’t wanna give them the ball.
@@legendlonewolf1 No bro but I get how my comment could come across that way. It's just common that a lot of old folks who like to play 2k (in my experience so it's subjective) are kinda stuck in there ways, do what they wanna do even if it means throwing the game
The inside centers yall run with put a TERRIBLE reputation of us bro lmaooo. I mainly play on my inside instead of my popper and nobody can touch me. I be dominating and carrying randoms just like you too brodie. We should collab and run it up together one day, I believe it would be good content for both of us. Stay blessed fam and keep working!
Dimework no cap.. It is insane how much our rec experience mirrors each other. I run a 6’1 3pt playmaker and i’m a bucket (humbly). I even go out of my way to get the team involved JUST so they don’t sell me cause God forbid if you’re the point guard and dribble for more than 3 seconds. I run Hof Dimer AND Hof Floor general and these mfs miss everything. Randoms are unruly lmao. You’ve literally said exact quotes in this video that I say every time I play rec. Too much ego with randoms, they get insecure when someone else has the hot hand. Whatever happened to just getting the W?
Sup bro keep doing your thang🙏🏾, I just played a game of rec 10 min where I had 16 points and 7 assists in the first half and everything was going good till the center just stopped playing defense and offense. I would hit this man every time he was open and he wouldn’t shoot or score we lost 75 to 70 😔😔I can’t with these randoms like I’m playmaking and giving them the ball and still find a way to say it’s your fault. 2k got to start penalizing people who do that. It’s literally messing the experience for every body. And it’s not like it’s rare it’s DAMN NEAR EVERYGAME
You a real one for still playing this shit bro, i just can’t do it anymore dawg. I’d rather take care of my mental sanity and play single player games 😂😂😂
Man I could feel your pain just listening to you talking. But these videos are fire man, not only because its dope to watch. But also because we can at least learn from these randoms mistakes and be better.
At least he'll never run outta content. This year has been my worst experience with randoms. You can be the points leader and have a mismatch and they would rather lose them pass the ball. It's like we're in reverse evolution. These kids are gonna cause the world to end. Ain't no logic in nothing they do.
I feel your pain bro, that’s why I had to make a center build jokic type , to just space rebound and dot cause I usually run pg but it’s damn near impossible to run with randoms as a pg so I salute you for doing that lol
Inside centers are for sure the ones dat start da problems for the whole team. They go up wit da dumbest shit constantly & if u stop giving them da hall they try to dribble it up da court off the rebound. I feel your pain
My biggest problem with rec random is when you hit 20pts and they stop passing! I get most my points off of them bail out passing it to me smh I need Xbox squad hmu if you run with somebody who plays the right way! I finally understand while KD went to golden state to “play the right way “
Ill say this. Sometimes i run big. And when i say EVERY game the team is hogging and wont even let you get wide open dunks even when you anchoring the defense and getting all of the boards. Dealing with that is soooooo frustrating. Then when i play with my sharp sf you watch dudes iso nonstop, get clamped, pass you the ball and call timeout on you after 2 dribbles
The only reason i still play is because i started running with at least 4 regular guys. Literally changed the whole game for me. Had builds that i never used get reborn with good teamates .. brought out my original build today had two 35+ games ina row just because my teammates gave my the ball when i got hot..
Dime you speak nothing but facts no homo I love you man 😭💪🏿 like I can relate to you so much we need more guys like you to call out these bums that stuff really helps it doesn’t make me feel like I’m alone I appreciate you heavy keep doing your thing you’re so unique at what you do keep it up forreal gang 🙏🏿💯💯
I really feel this, I play solo Rec half the time as a Stretch Center. I can screen and fade be wide open and the PG or who ever else has the board then just drives to the bucket over 3 dudes and gets swatted off the earth. Half the time I swear I’m invisible to these guys 🤣
This is my first 2k since 20 and I went in not knowing much about the builds, so my build isn't the greatest, but the toxicity in the Rec is mind blowing! I've watched a lead get blown so much because of the dumb 💩! Repeated full court/cross court passes that get picked off 95% of the time, flopping instead of getting back on D, calling all the timeouts because they're throwing a temper tantrum and probably will quit anyway, get down by 6 to 10 points and quit, dumb turnovers, quitting within the first 2 minutes of the 1st quarter, passing into a clogged lane, trying to pass when there's a defender between them and the person they're trying to pass to, running out of bounds REPEATEDLY, trying to steal repeatedly but only fouling, goaltending, fouling late in the shot clock when that team was more than likely going to have a shot clock violation, taking dumb*ss fadeaways (usually around the 3-point line) when you're not built like that or don't have the knowhow, playing PG when they're not a PG or don't know how to play point, taking every shot like they're god's gift to 2k, trying to make shots over 2 or 3 defenders, trying to dunk in a clogged lane, clogging the lane, leaving people wide open on defense (REPEATEDLY when they keep making 3 pointers), unwarranted double teaming when they typically only get in the way and cause a score, being up by 10 or so points and then making 4 or 5 horrible plays on offense usually leading to wide open 3s or dunks on the other end, and much more other countless dumb 💩!! 2K logic also kills me. Why are force out fouls not consistent? How did I foul someone while trying to pass the ball to a teammate? Damn, I'm about to write a novel!! 🤣😂🤣
Rec random are horrible this year. What's wild they be 0 for 10 and stuff still shooting not passing ect. Then wanna ruin the game when they don't get the ball. Wild to me.
Folks treat rec like it's the 1's and Me against the world. You gotta ONLY worry about getting an A Team Grade and everything else will fall into place
I haven’t played 2K in 3 weeks because of this. I’m on summer vacation and after dealing with other people’s kids doing dumb stuff at school I don’t need stress in my home lol. I might get back on again sometime later though
Randoms literally want to press X more than they want to win.dee going 7/21 without realizing hey I don’t got it right now and maybe I should do something different is CRAZY!
😂😂😂😂 maaan i discovered a new dark side of my self today. Got so angry. 😅 - Got in the rec with an 86 percent win rate, haven’t played for 6 months. wr is now on 32 % - lost 6 games in a row. I averaged a triple double in every game as a 6’11 PF. Still lost the games 😮😢 Rec random is not for the mortal 😅💥🤣 Loving this content, I feel the pain, and at the same time I’m laughing my a*s off
Standing layups this year are awful I made a post scorer as I always do and HOF rise up has been my best friend as you’re more likely to get a dunk then make a standing layup over someone with their hands up… even at 7’3. But I’ve learned the midrange is killer especially against zone I sit at 3 their defense is really good I go sit on the block catch and shoot mids or if someone cuts as I get the ball and their big comes out easy pass/lob. But it’s rarely that simple with randoms. I play but mostly because I don’t trust random bigs🤣and for when they call TM and ball hog I just wait for rebounds.
Wish I could run with a PG like you on Xbox fam. Everyone wants to be MJ. You gotta know your strengths. Nothing wrong with playing a role. Play defense and score when the offense demands it from you. It's not hard, I truly don't understand randoms. No IQ whatsoever. They can't tell the difference between a ball hog vs someone who's scoring because it's necessary.
Centers like need to realize they need to turn on their layup timing to finish around the paint. Some of those takes weren’t bad if his finishing attributes are solid
To anyone watching this video that runs current gen and thinking about switching to next gen, PLEASE don’t. The randoms are worse than you can imagine and if you don’t run with a squad you won’t stand a chance.
Yo just found your channel. This vid was very entertaining and I just subbed. I play a lot of rec with randoms and it’s tough. I play centre so I don’t have to bring the ball up but I’m always spacing the floor and setting screens. I always make my centres with shooting and high rebounding. But I’d like to say I’m an above average 2k player when it comes to iq like intercept steals not jumping when someone’s pump faking timing block shots centres definitely take skill and only a small percentage would succeed in playing centre and that’s why I’ve played centre in every 2k
Mannnn Dime, one game last week, I was running pick and roll with this inside big got him some easy buckets. Everything was going good, I passed to the open hash because they pinched and my teammate hit the three. He got in game chat talking bout,” Bro you have no IQ why would you give it to him?”
The craziest shit about these randoms is THEY WILL BE THE FIRST TO CALL U TRASH OR TRY TO GET THE BALL nd all they do is LOSE everytime they hop on da game… they KNOW they not good nd still try to be the man instead of playin they role
A lot of random rec players are the dudes who don’t have friends to play with or who’s friends don’t want to play with them, and you see why. It’s mostly just a bunch of selfish players fighting each other for the ball. Winning is never a priority for these guys. Its equivalent to an island of lost souls. Every now and then I get lucky with a group that’s not selfish and everyone is sharing the ball but as you stated, if there is a guy that fucks it up it’s always a 20 second dribbling shot chucker at PG or an inside center that can’t shoot and doesn’t know how to pass after an offensive rebound. Sometimes both, especially if they squaded up.
I actually played a game with you before I even knew you were a YT streamer. We lost a close game because the randoms sold us and would only icon one another. I got mad at you because you would actually pass them the ball when they were open, but I know after these vids that you were just being a good teammate and trying to let the bums eat a little bit. You're truly a solid guy, because I am beyond done with these mfs. After the first time I see these mfs on BS, I'm on the mic cuttin into them. Crazy part is that IT DONT HELP because YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID 🤣
The inside center is dumb af, but I hate when a PG says they're scoring all the points without giving the other dudes a chance. I missed first 2 3's in the quarter and didn't get passed too till the 4th when we were down 30. I got the ball passed cause they thought I was gonna get turnovers but I went 5-5.
I feel you're pain, sometimes I run my inside center and I do set screens roll to the basket I even set off ball screens put these people in rec have no basketball iq and just run around like headless chickens. Did you ever consider making a pro am team I would love to see you run a good team or even take 3 teammates and run rec with plays and dominate.
Whew 😥 This video is right on time!!!!! Them niggas besides themselves!!! I realized them niggas don’t have no friends IRL and take that anger out on people they don’t know and don’t have to see in person!!!
They rather lose by 20 then let somebody else score 20🤦🏾♂️

Exactly. “Contested” Close shots/layups have a 0% chance of going in. It is impossible to score consistenly as an inside big

Where should I go as a wing/SF when the center and PF/SG are occupying the corners? Serious question, Im kinda new trynna learn.
@@rymesyt851 One elbow/wing can be occupied. Top of key and oppo wing needs to be clear. If pg rotates toward you, cut to rim or wrap around up top to other wing
@@OhSoSumptuous thanks a lot bro thats good info
@@rymesyt851 then it’s ok to be on the wing as it’d be a 5 out offense formation. If it turns into that, then things like back cuts and screens will be easier since there’s nobody in the paint. Also, if you do get in that position on the wing, try to be a little deeper behind the three point line (still in shooting range though), so the point guard still has a bit of space.
Percentage wise if im playing rec its probably with randoms 60-70% of the time. But when i am playing with my boys i alway tell them, if randoms were honest about it they would 100% rather score the ball (or try too) than win the game. There has been countless games where i get completely iced out after a 12-15pt quarter by myself alone and im just forced to watch the other team slowly come back cause my team has ZERO offense or IQ for that matter.
Vote to kick is the answer to toxic REC randoms. I remember having the feature in Rainbow Six: Vegas back in the day, it worked so well. If I get voted out the game by 4 other players, I just have to accept that maybe they saw a reason to all agree that they'd be better off with my AI. I think the feature actually urges players to communicate, "Yo, my bad, don't kick me!"

I’d rather deal with all RANDOMS than a partial squad playing hot potato any day
Naw. I'll be a role player any day of the week with those buddy squads...If they know how to play. Bum buddy squads, yeah that can be irritating.
Just recently, a squad of 4 shut me out and I was the Center. No turnovers, grabbing boards, hadn’t missed a shot. I had a mismatch and started doing my post spin… *TIMEOUT* I was HOT!
Another instance was when we had a terrible PG who ended up quitting after a 0/7 start, but the SG & PF we’re squadded. They literally just kept icon passing back and forth to each other. The SF and myself never bothered going down on offense because we knew the ball wasn’t coming to us. I hate quoting games, but sometimes you’re forced to.
@@AntiMetaLokuno you must like to lose
@@jayoocapoo I play most of my REC games with randoms. Can’t just do that with any build though. And no, I don’t like losing. 65% playing with randoms ain’t so bad.
this vid highlights a lot of the main issues with playing with randoms in rec. lotta the times they be gettin on the mic they just be old heads or just straight up ego hoopers who don't care. like you said you can't fix stupid, also can't teach a old ass dog new tricks. All of us rec players who play with randos we gotta keep that strong mental tho bro 💪🏽 I love to see it
Bro, chill on that old head crap!! Its these young, no ball playing, no basketball knowledge clowns.
💯💯💯
So are you saying all oldheads are trash🤔at 2k? Or shouldn't be playing?
@@legendlonewolf1 most oldheads don’t understand 2K they come in with expectation that’s it’s mycareer or real life. and then they throw a tantrum when you don’t wanna give them the ball.
@@legendlonewolf1 No bro but I get how my comment could come across that way. It's just common that a lot of old folks who like to play 2k (in my experience so it's subjective) are kinda stuck in there ways, do what they wanna do even if it means throwing the game
I play center I also try my best to avoid camping in the post. Centers need to be able to shot it opens up the game and changes the dynamic
EXACTLY.
Rec gon be like this forever. Been like this and won’t change going forward
No lie told 💪💯
The inside centers yall run with put a TERRIBLE reputation of us bro lmaooo. I mainly play on my inside instead of my popper and nobody can touch me. I be dominating and carrying randoms just like you too brodie. We should collab and run it up together one day, I believe it would be good content for both of us. Stay blessed fam and keep working!
Dimework no cap.. It is insane how much our rec experience mirrors each other. I run a 6’1 3pt playmaker and i’m a bucket (humbly). I even go out of my way to get the team involved JUST so they don’t sell me cause God forbid if you’re the point guard and dribble for more than 3 seconds. I run Hof Dimer AND Hof Floor general and these mfs miss everything. Randoms are unruly lmao. You’ve literally said exact quotes in this video that I say every time I play rec. Too much ego with randoms, they get insecure when someone else has the hot hand. Whatever happened to just getting the W?
"You cannot fix stupid!" 🤣🤝 Painful to watch at times but at the end of the day it's always entertaining when Dime drops! 💯
🤣💯 Preciate it fam!
Sup bro keep doing your thang🙏🏾, I just played a game of rec 10 min where I had 16 points and 7 assists in the first half and everything was going good till the center just stopped playing defense and offense. I would hit this man every time he was open and he wouldn’t shoot or score we lost 75 to 70 😔😔I can’t with these randoms like I’m playmaking and giving them the ball and still find a way to say it’s your fault. 2k got to start penalizing people who do that.
It’s literally messing the experience for every body. And it’s not like it’s rare it’s DAMN NEAR EVERYGAME
Big facts my g! I just don’t know what they can do for real…these dudes are the worst. 💯
They need to give these mfs bans, that’s BM. If you in hardcore on COD and you shoot teammates on purpose you get kicked
You a real one for still playing this shit bro, i just can’t do it anymore dawg. I’d rather take care of my mental sanity and play single player games 😂😂😂
Lol I feel u bro
Ngl Dime I woulda started calling time outs when that center got the ball in the paint. Hope they quit
Only reason I don’t do it is because it only make shit worse tbh. Then dudes start selling even more. I just be tryna get the W and leave. 💯💪
2k need to make dudes go to some sort of rec jail when they repeatedly play horribly
I be enjoying these videos man because I be going through this stuff any time I’m hooping with randoms.
best video on the rec out there, Love it when you said “of course not that would make too much sense “😂
🤣 Preciate it bro…nothing these guys do makes sense 😂
Man I could feel your pain just listening to you talking. But these videos are fire man, not only because its dope to watch. But also because we can at least learn from these randoms mistakes and be better.
Preciate it fam!! 🫡💯
My boi consistent yayyy!!!!😁😁🔥🔥🔥
Lol we getting there 💯
TH-cam aint the same without Dime making Re Random videos, definite bangers 😂
😂 Preciate it bro! 🫡
"I just wana get out of here" I been there many times in Rec randoms. Respect Dime!
At least he'll never run outta content. This year has been my worst experience with randoms. You can be the points leader and have a mismatch and they would rather lose them pass the ball. It's like we're in reverse evolution. These kids are gonna cause the world to end. Ain't no logic in nothing they do.
Salute fam! 🫡💯
A good video would be you interviewing a rec random and them giving us a play by play on why they do the dumb shit they do lol
🤣🤣🤣
That would be fire
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"So here u had 4 mfs in the paint with you, what percentage did u think u had to make this shot??"
@@jarradpage2967 “I make this shot all the time in mycareer”
Keep up the uploads man u doing ya thing 💯
Preciate that bro! 🙌🙌
I feel your pain bro, that’s why I had to make a center build jokic type , to just space rebound and dot cause I usually run pg but it’s damn near impossible to run with randoms as a pg so I salute you for doing that lol
Inside centers are for sure the ones dat start da problems for the whole team. They go up wit da dumbest shit constantly & if u stop giving them da hall they try to dribble it up da court off the rebound. I feel your pain
It’s more shit they do but if the center doesn’t contain the brain cells to reset after a missed layup then just prepare for a long game
and if you need someone to run with that will gladly get u da ball when your hot and do his job im down just lmk
0:23 that move was nasty 💀🔥🔥
My biggest problem with rec random is when you hit 20pts and they stop passing! I get most my points off of them bail out passing it to me smh I need Xbox squad hmu if you run with somebody who plays the right way! I finally understand while KD went to golden state to “play the right way “
Kingdollaz302yt / zaydollazceo is my GT holla at me
What’s your gamer tag
@@MrKillerbigboy Kingdollaz302YT or ZAYDOLLAZCEO
this man just covered my whole rage with rec bums
Ill say this. Sometimes i run big. And when i say EVERY game the team is hogging and wont even let you get wide open dunks even when you anchoring the defense and getting all of the boards. Dealing with that is soooooo frustrating. Then when i play with my sharp sf you watch dudes iso nonstop, get clamped, pass you the ball and call timeout on you after 2 dribbles
Randoms goin crazy! "Center" was next level 😵💫
The only reason i still play is because i started running with at least 4 regular guys. Literally changed the whole game for me. Had builds that i never used get reborn with good teamates .. brought out my original build today had two 35+ games ina row just because my teammates gave my the ball when i got hot..
Love these videos. Never gets old 😅😅
Lol preciate you checking in fam 💪💯
Dime you speak nothing but facts no homo I love you man 😭💪🏿 like I can relate to you so much we need more guys like you to call out these bums that stuff really helps it doesn’t make me feel like I’m alone I appreciate you heavy keep doing your thing you’re so unique at what you do keep it up forreal gang 🙏🏿💯💯
Preciate that fam!! 🙌💯💪
Felt this on a spiritual level yo
Super entertaining vid man! Looking forward to more bro! Subscribed! 💎
Thanks bro, Preciate the sub! 💯💪
I really feel this, I play solo Rec half the time as a Stretch Center. I can screen and fade be wide open and the PG or who ever else has the board then just drives to the bucket over 3 dudes and gets swatted off the earth. Half the time I swear I’m invisible to these guys 🤣
Preach!!!! 😂😂😂 I play an entire game shakin my head majority of it
I swear bro 🤣💯
I think teammate grades need to be taken more seriously in 2k…if you aren’t a good teammate you can’t play Rec
BACK2BACK UPLOADS IM HERE FOR IT
Already know the vibes! 😈💪
This is my first 2k since 20 and I went in not knowing much about the builds, so my build isn't the greatest, but the toxicity in the Rec is mind blowing! I've watched a lead get blown so much because of the dumb 💩! Repeated full court/cross court passes that get picked off 95% of the time, flopping instead of getting back on D, calling all the timeouts because they're throwing a temper tantrum and probably will quit anyway, get down by 6 to 10 points and quit, dumb turnovers, quitting within the first 2 minutes of the 1st quarter, passing into a clogged lane, trying to pass when there's a defender between them and the person they're trying to pass to, running out of bounds REPEATEDLY, trying to steal repeatedly but only fouling, goaltending, fouling late in the shot clock when that team was more than likely going to have a shot clock violation, taking dumb*ss fadeaways (usually around the 3-point line) when you're not built like that or don't have the knowhow, playing PG when they're not a PG or don't know how to play point, taking every shot like they're god's gift to 2k, trying to make shots over 2 or 3 defenders, trying to dunk in a clogged lane, clogging the lane, leaving people wide open on defense (REPEATEDLY when they keep making 3 pointers), unwarranted double teaming when they typically only get in the way and cause a score, being up by 10 or so points and then making 4 or 5 horrible plays on offense usually leading to wide open 3s or dunks on the other end, and much more other countless dumb 💩!!
2K logic also kills me. Why are force out fouls not consistent? How did I foul someone while trying to pass the ball to a teammate? Damn, I'm about to write a novel!! 🤣😂🤣
Rec random are horrible this year. What's wild they be 0 for 10 and stuff still shooting not passing ect. Then wanna ruin the game when they don't get the ball. Wild to me.
These dudes different breed man I’m telling u 🤦🏽♂️
I hate when they be scared to shoot.
I had someone blame me because they missed a wide open shot “you passed the ball late so I wasn’t ready.” Niqqa the feedback said *WIDE OPEN*
LMAO, I can’t stand that lame excuse… 🤦🏽♂️
Folks treat rec like it's the 1's and Me against the world. You gotta ONLY worry about getting an A Team Grade and everything else will fall into place
💯💯💯
When the devil can't get to you, he sends rec randoms.
LMAO 💯
Nahh the frustration sounds different this vid lmaooo
It is! 😭 I been tryna keep cool but these dudes make it impossible!
Bro never seen a more relatable video. Just yesterday I dropped 43 points and 17 assists as a center and still lost bro it’s sad
These dudes need to play a different game fam
You are hilarious bro! 😂😂😂
2k needs to make an option where we can sub someone out when they’re selling for no reason.
sub him out for who? 😂😂
@@VisionzTrue for another player, like how cod let another player join the match when people leave
Bro I be going crazy with random once I score once they keep passing
I haven’t played 2K in 3 weeks because of this. I’m on summer vacation and after dealing with other people’s kids doing dumb stuff at school I don’t need stress in my home lol. I might get back on again sometime later though
I feel you on that man 😂💯
Yoooo dime work is hilarious with the rec randoms 🤣🤣
This was literally me two days ago on my 99 3 point build as well 😂😂. Went to 2OT and had to score 52 to win
Randoms literally want to press X more than they want to win.dee going 7/21 without realizing hey I don’t got it right now and maybe I should do something different is CRAZY!
Big man went 7/21 😂😂
Hahaha I love these videos man…… TH-cam legend my guy. Keep doing ya thing.
Preciate that bro, thanks for coming through! 💯💪
Bigs that can’t space the paint got IQ the equivalent of a block of cheese 😵💫
😭😭😭 Facts
BRO KEEP PREACHING!!!!!
I won’t even play with an inside center I dashboard from the locker room. Unless he’s GOAT status.
the thing with 2k is yeah randoms are bad but bro EVERYONE's ego gets in the way of getting the dub.
True 💯
😂😂😂😂 maaan i discovered a new dark side of my self today.
Got so angry. 😅 - Got in the rec with an 86 percent win rate, haven’t played for 6 months.
wr is now on 32 % - lost 6 games in a row.
I averaged a triple double in every game as a 6’11 PF.
Still lost the games 😮😢
Rec random is not for the mortal 😅💥🤣
Loving this content, I feel the pain, and at the same time I’m laughing my a*s off
PlayStation?
Keep up the work Dime. Need some consistent vids dropping very entertaining brother.
I appreciate it bro! 💪💯
💯 Rec randoms are a different breed 😂
🤣💯
Standing layups this year are awful I made a post scorer as I always do and HOF rise up has been my best friend as you’re more likely to get a dunk then make a standing layup over someone with their hands up… even at 7’3. But I’ve learned the midrange is killer especially against zone I sit at 3 their defense is really good I go sit on the block catch and shoot mids or if someone cuts as I get the ball and their big comes out easy pass/lob. But it’s rarely that simple with randoms. I play but mostly because I don’t trust random bigs🤣and for when they call TM and ball hog I just wait for rebounds.
Bro it took me 7 drunk minutes to realize this man had 43 and they wasn’t passing the ball 😂😂😂 i hate 2k but its the only game I play
🤣🤣🤣 You can’t make this shit up fam
Wish I could run with a PG like you on Xbox fam. Everyone wants to be MJ. You gotta know your strengths. Nothing wrong with playing a role. Play defense and score when the offense demands it from you. It's not hard, I truly don't understand randoms. No IQ whatsoever. They can't tell the difference between a ball hog vs someone who's scoring because it's necessary.
Centers like need to realize they need to turn on their layup timing to finish around the paint. Some of those takes weren’t bad if his finishing attributes are solid
lmaoo every rec vid u do is a classic
Lol preciate that bro 💪💯
To anyone watching this video that runs current gen and thinking about switching to next gen, PLEASE don’t. The randoms are worse than you can imagine and if you don’t run with a squad you won’t stand a chance.
Yo just found your channel. This vid was very entertaining and I just subbed. I play a lot of rec with randoms and it’s tough. I play centre so I don’t have to bring the ball up but I’m always spacing the floor and setting screens. I always make my centres with shooting and high rebounding. But I’d like to say I’m an above average 2k player when it comes to iq like intercept steals not jumping when someone’s pump faking timing block shots centres definitely take skill and only a small percentage would succeed in playing centre and that’s why I’ve played centre in every 2k
That’s facts bro! Preciate the sub too, thanks for checking in 💪💯
Mannnn Dime, one game last week, I was running pick and roll with this inside big got him some easy buckets. Everything was going good, I passed to the open hash because they pinched and my teammate hit the three. He got in game chat talking bout,” Bro you have no IQ why would you give it to him?”
LMAO nah ain’t no way! 😭
“You can not fix stupid”
OMG IF THAT AINT FAX.
Stg bro 💯
You are funny af 😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️
The craziest shit about these randoms is THEY WILL BE THE FIRST TO CALL U TRASH OR TRY TO GET THE BALL nd all they do is LOSE everytime they hop on da game… they KNOW they not good nd still try to be the man instead of playin they role
Exactly 🤣
This is every day with me bro, chit get stressful to even play
Facts my g!
😂😂😂 this had me in tears
😂😂😂
These rec randoms can't be real people
Facts. These dudes are disgusting...
There’s no way they are bro 😭
Lol watching this gave me PTSD .. I’ll deal with this everyday dawg
😂💯
Man 🤦🏽♂️ everyday rec life 💀 u kept that shit together tho 🔥
Everyday fam😂 💯💪
A lot of random rec players are the dudes who don’t have friends to play with or who’s friends don’t want to play with them, and you see why. It’s mostly just a bunch of selfish players fighting each other for the ball. Winning is never a priority for these guys. Its equivalent to an island of lost souls. Every now and then I get lucky with a group that’s not selfish and everyone is sharing the ball but as you stated, if there is a guy that fucks it up it’s always a 20 second dribbling shot chucker at PG or an inside center that can’t shoot and doesn’t know how to pass after an offensive rebound. Sometimes both, especially if they squaded up.
I actually played a game with you before I even knew you were a YT streamer. We lost a close game because the randoms sold us and would only icon one another. I got mad at you because you would actually pass them the ball when they were open, but I know after these vids that you were just being a good teammate and trying to let the bums eat a little bit. You're truly a solid guy, because I am beyond done with these mfs. After the first time I see these mfs on BS, I'm on the mic cuttin into them. Crazy part is that IT DONT HELP because YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID 🤣
The inside center is dumb af, but I hate when a PG says they're scoring all the points without giving the other dudes a chance. I missed first 2 3's in the quarter and didn't get passed too till the 4th when we were down 30. I got the ball passed cause they thought I was gonna get turnovers but I went 5-5.
I feel you're pain, sometimes I run my inside center and I do set screens roll to the basket I even set off ball screens put these people in rec have no basketball iq and just run around like headless chickens. Did you ever consider making a pro am team I would love to see you run a good team or even take 3 teammates and run rec with plays and dominate.
You gotta block that center because that’s wild
Whew 😥 This video is right on time!!!!! Them niggas besides themselves!!! I realized them niggas don’t have no friends IRL and take that anger out on people they don’t know and don’t have to see in person!!!
WORD 😭
Another issue is half these randoms go into the Rec with a friend and pass back and forth to each other no matter what
That’s the worst! 💀
