All these people complaining about SBMM and wanting a casual experience all while ruining a mode that was for the casual of casuals for the sake of rep💀💀💀💀
“I know it probably flopped and was probably a terrible video” nah man, your my favorite 2k youtuber keep the videos coming. You are doing alot of people in the community a favor by dropping this knowledge 💯
@@justinjackson39 I mean there’s also no skill guards cheesing the ai and making everything because of the low difficulty. Every position in that game mode is no skill
People turning starting 5 sweaty and talking about it is going to run it right into the ground just like how it ruined theatre and old gym. Devs will nerf the rep gain and people will just cheese
Make sure to have a build with free throw, got cheesed on one of my characters last night with low free throw. Guy fouled me 22 times with his character in the game just spamming steal. No fouling out is not a good look.
This actually was a good video I was already on the starting 5 method but I was sweating for wins and didn't know it was about teammate grade, I'd go up against shoot first points with 99 3ball hiding behind screens and even with icon switching or calling a double the computer isn't advanced enough to understand but thank you for filling us in and letting us know it's mainly about teammate grade I appreciate you
@@vFrosty2K the contest suck is the issue. You can be right on them and it’ll be open lol Why do I have HOF challenger anyway? I’m getting the same contest as someone with silver
Its like slightly less than a rec game, I mean like 1% vs 0.9% with an A+ (Starter 3 to 4 bar). Also you can often make people quit and get decent rep without having to play. Rep is also heavily based off teammate grade, you can lose with an A and get nearly full rep. It's a good mode for rep, its not the best in the game but it's simple and can be fun if you want it to be.
Laker Thank You for this video. I’ve been trying to find a place where I can gain Rep solo for years. After seeing this I tried it love it! I mute the mic play my style never quit win or lose gain some rep finally. Thanks again
if you got a guard with post control (87 post control, 86 strength) this year you can straight up throw most matchups and usually will have someone open if they double or switch
Thanks man! I actually liked the starting 5 last year and I have to admit sometimes had had just opponents who were by far better than I am :) Good point that the time isnt wasted in terms of progression! So much looking forward to hit starter 3 and get such a nice boost for my MPs. Kinda like this addition!
Question.. so I'm tryna get to Starter 3 I have a big man that u can grind, if I were to get it to starter 3 on that build, if I hit starter 3 then load up my sg would my rep still apply? Or do I hv ti grind each build individually?
MAn they ruined it already. It used to actually be fu but now when you play it it’s str8 try hards sweating with spam 3s or post scorer while allowing the cpus to Gaurd smh
I mean if your a center why would u put yourself on a guard that’s faster then you and for a guard why would u put yourself on a center that’s gonna baby u all game
@@jaym7901 nah bro I’m not referring to diff positions. It’s literally people who play a 6’3 or 6’8 on there and will do it😂 + the people I ran into had builds to cheese it just playing a VS match (and I played center) even when I went against a PG with my pG he put j Tatum on me 😭
How do you change the defensive plays? I tried everything yesterday and couldn’t change from man to zone, I’m a center btw but he’s on a center build and did it here
Thanks for showing this to us . I have to try so hard with randoms every match I try to keep my winning percentage above 50% . It’s exactly 50% rn and I’m tired of stressing out this is gonna be a lot more chill to get rep
@@oao__bdon1577 but everyone else’s is so much higher than mine :( . I am better than most the teammates I get but it dosnt matter cuz they sell . With this new method I’m definitely gonna be having a lot more chill time playing
Just play as the Celtics, and play center. Post scorers work best. Most people are on guards so they get clamped at the 1 cause it’s dumb how good ai defense is on ball and you can drop step even the best centers. I’ve been getting 1.1-1.4 on my games as a starter 2. .5-.8 on rage quits in the first quarter
If you lose, we will still get Rep? I'm not expecting to win any games Playing Starting5 because of my country server. I'm in Cambodia with 0 culture basketball, so I will be placed outside the country, and it gives me minimum latency of 200ms. Any advice on how to play this game in 30 latency?
Yea I'm good. Played one game and all he did was make the cpu cut to the basket from the wing and it didn't even matter if I switch a player with high defense to stop it
Idk how starting 5 is cuz ive never played but i was top 5 leaderboard play now online player 10 years ago 😂. There should be settings to make defenders play tight or leave a gap and there should also be a setting to have the help side CPU immediately double on cuts to the hoop. Also settings for defenders to play a 3/4 front on a player that made passing lane steals easier to do and would let them be far enough in front to have good momentum to the other end of the court as soon as they tip the pass.
Someone help me out please because im a casual mycareer player, so basically the Rep that you get, is it the same you would get for example if playing park or Rec etc ? Also when playing in this 5 v 5 do you only control your myplayer or the entire team.
I run my 7 ft PF with 76ers and shit has been op to say the least. Only dude I had a problem with was an OP 7’3 post scorer on suns and the toxic fucks who run Boston every game.
I love it man, but it is rare to find a match there. I always go but sometimes, I just waste my time waiting, and if there is someone in there who quits because they are losing, you can't continue the game and you will gain nothing. I hope they will make it available globally and not only in the same city or server, just like the Rec.
All these people complaining about SBMM and wanting a casual experience all while ruining a mode that was for the casual of casuals for the sake of rep💀💀💀💀
I think most of those complaining are the ones who were chilling on the mode before the methods came out
Exactly this lmao. I didn’t buy that “I just wanna relax” shit at all when this mode became an absolute sweat fest.
Exactly. "It's teammate grade based" yea well sweaty fucks just blitz me and full court press and I can't do shit
People been sweating on this crazy since more ppl found this method smh,
Yeh fr that was better before now only some tryhard who farm that to get legend 😂
@@GokuUl-DBSevery game is Celtics or Knicks and they instant switch OG or jrue onto you and then go spam pick and roll cheese on the AI
Exactly it’s not easy anymore so rep isn’t that high
@@cheryltunt6934 people love to cheese to farm they want to make us rage and quit no problem we will get better 👍🏽we will train or make a new build 😂
@@Seli6358 yehhh but we can’t let them win yehhh 👍🏽keep working bro you got this
Starting 5 used to be a mode people go shot for shot with, now sweats who claimed to want a casual mode are turning ts into an annoying hellgame.
“I know it probably flopped and was probably a terrible video” nah man, your my favorite 2k youtuber keep the videos coming. You are doing alot of people in the community a favor by dropping this knowledge 💯
It actually is the best performing video so far in the last couple weeks LOL I’m crazy surprised
@@LakerFan im a fan of a guy named lakerfan and im a celtics fan… thats how you know your a good youtuber lmao
Yeah it's because most of us are just trying to chill and play 2k and this mode is perfect for that. They're really onto something with starting 5
Starting 5 has been the best rep method since 24 but this year starting 5 is being ruined by Centers with no skill picking the Celtics.
Pick the lakers, timberwolves, or spurs to counteract it. Throw a couple lobs to AD, Gobert or wemby to get them takeover to boost defensive stats
All the centers I play against use the suns so annoying
@@justinjackson39 I mean there’s also no skill guards cheesing the ai and making everything because of the low difficulty. Every position in that game mode is no skill
does it count to my record ?
Nope @@xR4llen

Devs will nerf the rep gain and people will just cheese
If you’re struggling against PnR guards fading off screens, use the celtics and run a 3-2 zone. thank me later
How do you change to zone if u not the pg ?
@@rugbyal94 you don’t have to be pg, left left or right on the dpad and it’ll bring up the options
@ImBranno I swear it doesn't work for me do I gotta play mycareer to activate something 1st ?
What are the defensive settings you change as well (help defense, etc)?
@@DFreshTV I use left bumper and put the 1-3 on deny for off ball pressure and tight on ball
Make sure to have a build with free throw, got cheesed on one of my characters last night with low free throw. Guy fouled me 22 times with his character in the game just spamming steal. No fouling out is not a good look.
I’m sorry that’s mad funny 😂😂😂
wow they can just get infinite fouls ?
Lmao that’s crazy😭😭😭
Really liking your content you seem really genuine
he’s one of the few 2k youtubers who are genuine
Bro this is clutch. I hate playing solo but want my cap breakers. Easy way to grind new builds and get rep too. Keep up the good content bro
🎯🎯🎯💪🏿👊🏿
Same. I don’t care about the wins.

Bro this mode is filled with the most sweaty non skilled mfs I ever seen they just abuse back door cuts since interior is so bad lol
Fr. Backdoor and guards left right step back
The old heads on this be so sweaty😭
I’m interested in what you think are the best pro tuned builds.
Thanks , this was really informative. I have never played starting 5 and I'm solo most of the time. I will definitely check this out.
Love this game mode I’m currently ss4 basically playing this.. this mode so chill when i just wanna cool and relax and not try and still get rep
you're already ss4?! wtf I'm ss1 struggling to rep up, probably playtime is holding me back
It’s not chill 50% of the time 😂 I’m SS4 too but the games so easy to shoot if you play anyone decent they’re splashing
@@vFrosty2K the contest suck is the issue. You can be right on them and it’ll be open lol
Why do I have HOF challenger anyway? I’m getting the same contest as someone with silver
Does it have the samr latency as rec? Or close to it.
@@Joonicakes its smoother than rec honestly
Preciate the information about the game mode. I passed by it so many times and didn’t known this method

And when he says the AIs are snipers boiiiii he ain’t lying 😂😂
Tonic making you get a 3 sec call lmao, what a troll 😆
If you’re a center Milwaukee is 🧀 too, screen for Dame he shoot every time
Really enjoyed the video, didnt knew about this game mode, thx a lot
Awesome vid,I was looking for a vid like this.very good info.thanks for the vid💯💯💥💥
Excellent video bro.... setting yourself apart. LITERALLY 💯. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾
This go towards your park or rec record?
If I’m on a 7’3 center which team should I use to win most games.
Question.. so I'm tryna get to Starter 3 I have a big man that u can grind, if I were to get it to starter 3 on that build, if I hit starter 3 then load up my sg would my rep still apply? Or do I hv ti grind each build individually?

How do you change the defensive plays? I tried everything yesterday and couldn’t change from man to zone, I’m a center btw but he’s on a center build and did it here
I’m a point and played with the heat and they just lock shit down on defense. You provide all the offense anyways so that worked for me
Imagine the guy in the video thinking he beat a TH-camr and he goes to look at this and says he wasn’t trying 😂😂 hurt
Does it make your casual hooper pro levels go down if you lose???
I’m a starter 3 already I can’t wait for that rep boost
Thanks for this 👍🏽that’s cool to chill

Say Laker fan. I finished one game of Starting 5, all four quarters. 1% with A+ TG. Not worth it. Oh and I’m Starter 2.
get more if you win
@@KeySwampa that was with the win, @ PG
Score 60+ you get 3%
He lying
It’s the same in rec
Do u get season level XP?
As a swing/pf/be I highly vouch for using the thunder. Call for screen from shai and it’s a free assist to him every play
I’m a pure lockdown should I just give up on this game mode?
Yes
@@Givenchy-_-Dior gotcha lol
Naw lock down that other player, deny him the ball and he’ll get in his head and lose
@@XxI8D I’ll try it
5 I’m glad you made this because I had no clue! Great breakdown and thorough exploits. Keep doin what you do!
So to get max rep do I have to have good stats, or strictly teamate grade
Yo this mode is fun asf, the rep is cool too I haven’t really been grinding rep only just starter 1
Whats the best position to get a high teammate grade?
I just get myself into solo rec when my team isn't online. Easy to get an A+ being an undersized center.
Just play as the Celtics, and play center. Post scorers work best. Most people are on guards so they get clamped at the 1 cause it’s dumb how good ai defense is on ball and you can drop step even the best centers. I’ve been getting 1.1-1.4 on my games as a starter 2. .5-.8 on rage quits in the first quarter
what zone would i want to be on in a 2-3? i’m a PG. the wing?
If you lose, we will still get Rep? I'm not expecting to win any games
Playing Starting5 because of my country server. I'm in Cambodia with 0 culture basketball, so I will be placed outside the country, and it gives me minimum latency of 200ms. Any advice on how to play this game in 30 latency?
This is why the wait times are crazy at proving grounds and rec lmao live starting 5 alone
Wait so I don't even have to sweat or win? Say less. Good looking out bro!
So you play against other people rite ? In starting 5 ?
CAN SOMEONE GO OVER STARTING 5 COACH SETTINGS/SLIDERS WITH ME??😭
Do you get season levels in this game mode?
Great video bro
5❤🔥 didnt know you could switch your ai to any position on defense e.g lebron to guard their PG so thanks appreciate it!
Even with the sweat, it is way better than the other modes if you don't have a squad. I do wish the lame center builds would go elsewhere.
Yea I'm good. Played one game and all he did was make the cpu cut to the basket from the wing and it didn't even matter if I switch a player with high defense to stop it

All mfs do is spam pick and rolls on ts😭 as a center mane it’s hell
I’m sorry gang I be on there just calling screens and throwing passes not even tryna shoot
Fire! Just made a new footer
we need a tier list for all of these takeovers!!!
Hoe do you set up your defense for 2-3 3-3 half court trap etc? And how do you setup your offense, for example run 5 out or call iso?
Hit the left button, you’ll see it come up
Someone help me out please because im a casual mycareer player, so basically the Rep that you get, is it the same you would get for example if playing park or Rec etc ? Also when playing in this 5 v 5 do you only control your myplayer or the entire team.
no you dont get rep for playing those games... as usual casual players get screwed again.
You probably get more rep in park/rec than here. You can only control yourself. You’re basically playing nba games but online
6:21 how do you do all of this? My subs never stay when I switch in game
Does it improve skill rep too?
the wolves before the trade was my team now im okc
As a PG, i use thunder and still have Shai🔥
im a balanced 7'1 and use the spurs, run wemby at the 4. literally automatic wins lmao
honestly probably only good if youre somewhat skilled at the game w some sort of IQ
Great video !!!
What’s the best pos to make to play this ?
I run my 7 ft PF with 76ers and shit has been op to say the least. Only dude I had a problem with was an OP 7’3 post scorer on suns and the toxic fucks who run Boston every game.
Are you using your 68 slasher when you were sweating?!?
The Bulls are a very underrated team in this mode
Does it have the same latency as rec?
Yeah post more of this please, let more casuals find out cuz rn its all sweats and its live or die in there.
the cavs are a really good team for this
This video certainly did not flop lol, I just wish this mode tracked stats
How do you stop your player from guarding the post on the side of the scorer?
Go warriors and spam curry with gold brick wall and crash boards
Also for Mavs they have exum at the 3 instead of Klay I hate it
I definitely get matched up against a lot of tryhards sweating. Its annoying but w/e
Does this affect w/l ratio
Got the Kings in “no go” but I recently won with them with my Boogie build 😅
Good looking my g tired of getting .3 for a win in the pgs on the 1s
@@kushybeatz3144 ts way faster than startin 5, but good rep methods tough out here
I get more in the pro am than 2 points and that's without double rep 🤔

This seems infinitely better than playing random rec
Thanks Bro !!!!
Been watching since 23. First time commenting. Good content fam.. Thanks.. *edit* laker

@@BruceChiMing23 it’s good if they quit, you still get rep based on your team mate grade and you don’t gotta finish the full time bro
This was the best way last year too I put my friends on last year
for those of you SG builds; use twolves. its such a cheese lineup. 1 conley 3 ant 4 julias randle 5 gobert.
ive won 4 straight games just casually playing the game against people using pnr against ai
Teams pretty crazy if you take Conleys spot
