The REC randoms at end of July and start of August have been AWFUL. The amount of randoms who provide nothing offensively or defensively is getting out of had. That alone is bad but then when you start getting buckets they wanna call timeouts and get mad because you’re hooping and they’re not.
It takes me 25-30 minutes sometimes to matchmake and play ONE game where my teammates just quit midway or get butthurt after you miss them for one three, for an open layup. I really think once you matchmake, you shouldn’t be able to leave the lobby once you’re in it. That’s the most frustrating part of random rec. But however once you find some great teammates, it all makes up for it.
Dime when you get a feel for 25 you definitely gotta bring some of the 24 builds like the 92 strength 6’8 PG, the 7’0 PF , 6’4 2way playmaking sharp and the 6’8 and 6’9 combo guard 💪🏾
I agree to an extent that if the person outside the squad is scoring that's good. But if they dont pass every time they get the ball imma get bored, i didnt boot up rec to play defence for 30 minutes. Like a game where the team shoots 2-3 shots each and one dude shoots 30 aint fun even if u win
2K should implement Skill-Based Matchmaking. Let the casuals play with & against other bums. Also, make an overall base requirement level to enter the REC.. nobody should be forced to spend 25-30 minutes of their time playing with a dude that can’t contribute anything offensively or defensively to the team because their build isn’t physically capable of playing on any side of the floor. Some days I just want to take a break from the PRO-AM and relax by going in the REC by myself but I can’t because I have to worry about the competency of my teammates.
@@TheDynamicWolf Thanks for the info, but I'd be careful about advertising other ppls channel on another youtuber's video. Might be seen as poaching traffic
Don't feel bad, I have a hybrid lockdown defender, 91 steal, gold interceptor, long arms and I still get that animation. It happens so much I don't go for steals anymore I let the offensive player catch the ball and stand there so I'm not out of position.
Dime I'm a fan / supporter fr gang but you be on here CHUCKN 😂( Ball Hogging) I can understand the concept of "Let him Cook" but it's tough to work to get open just to watch somebody dribble all the way up the floor & shoot like 4 plays in a row. Even if they are getting buckets. 🤷🏿♂️ now if they 1/4 0/3 ect.. THEN you take over cuz they can't shoot I can dig.
I feel like small guards were really good this year. Had a 6'1 PG and between the dribbling, threes, and the plethora of layups you can do (floaters and scoops were my go to). Like working the PnR and attacking the big downhill got me so many open middies or floaters, then once they started stepping up, the roller assists were even easier
This is how it always is bro, so annoying. I’m definitely a role player. I play defense, rebound, and popper. Idc about scoring all the points, I only get mad when they take stupid shots like in the intro and don’t pass when we are wide tf open. If you ever need a role playing high IQ player, I got you.
I died laughing when u went on a rant about the center🤣🤣 why does my center have playmaking takeover popped rn😭💀 i definitely would have turn that mic on
Centre might suck but popping play take isn’t an issue. He doesn’t need to actually throw the pass for the shooter to get a boost. It’s just an auto boost to the whole teams stats, and you all get your own takeovers faster. It’s really the best takeover for a centre, especially if he can’t score anyway
My advice to everyone because it’s been the same for the last two years. Have as much for as you can early on because, once season 7 especially 8-9 it’s literally glue eaters and people who are playing only because the game is free.
U a whole bucket, but u gotta get ya team involved no matter what, cause when u down down bad and need your teammates they done forgot their jump shots at that point
On that last play, i feel like you could've gone right around the contest and floated it. But good game bruh. I would've been the perfect teammate to your play style
No lie this how me and my homeboy be in random rec we be cookin and the other 3 act like they don’t want to pass us the ball and we be carrying the team and like you said they can’t score at all
that shot at the end was tough decision me personally i would of pump it speed boosted to the right and took a middy pull up cos they're gunna jump i feel like in that situation. or the guy just doesnt panic and pass up to the corner or the wing and hopefully they knock it down
I wouldn't be surprised if 2k made the pass to the big at the end. My passing is on something like 98 directional and there are still times I'll point at so.eone in the corner and itll pass the wrong way
Never go for the steal when the game is that close and about to end because 2k finds a way to pull you out of position everytime no matter your steal rating smh 😊
Rec been atrocious since June fr. Shit wild in random rec. Up 30 had a dude on the team TO the PG twice lol… we all had at least 10 points (in the 3rd)! Tried to throw the whole game from 30 to winning by 10! But you sold that wit the steal attempt. Better to stay in front of your man at that point. To guarantee a contest or at least make em hesitate.
this is why i now i only run park with my friend(s). and if we got a full 5 we run pro am. no point tryna run rec with bums who don't pass and can't score and on top of that don't play defence
Same the season requirements are destroying the gameplay. Asking 5000 points a season . That's about 25+ points a game . So of course everyone will try to pull silly shots
Bruh I just played a game on my paolo build I been cooking the “hybrid defender all day and they called a timeout after I gave him a slight mix headed to the Baja🤦🏽♂️just to inbound right back to me
On dogs I done deleted the game cause mfs jus be smokin some crazy pack like damn I want some of what mfs be smokin to be this shitty at a game and try talkin cat shit but can’t back up the talk when mfs be shootin 20% from da field like make dat shxt make sense.
Had a game yesterday,we were losing 9-32 on halftime and two players quited.During 3rd quarter the PG and the C also quited with D- grade and the score was 15-32 with two cornee threes i scored and it was the first two times they passed the ball,i continued alone.Guess the final score.I lost 44-47. The opponent team once they had to face AI they turned from Steph Curry to Ben Simmons playstyle.
When I match with people like this, it's less about how bad they are at the game and more about this is an ACTUAL HUMAN BEING IN SOCIETY.
