Surely he’s not going to dribble excessively and not pass the whole game, right? 🤣

cant tell you how many games ive lost because a "teammate" wanted to dribble for ages shoot the covered 3 and miss 15 times instead of passing it to a teammate wide open under the hoop 😐

CastingPouch

Exactly. And so stupid you can't buy some stuff without having a certain rep online. I don't want to grind for hours because the only people that want to play are the ones doing exactly as you said. Even though im a 91 overall

FriedSkribe

💯they force you to "play" for hours with rookie stats to be able to get anything even though they know they dynamic in the park 🙃im a 93 and i still cant find a real team lol wack af ive lost so many games for absolutely no reason 😂

CastingPouch

Literally. Like because im a rookie nobody except 60 or 70 overalls want to play with me and then you go up against a group of 96 overall elites and stand no chance

FriedSkribe

Straight up lol and the 96's all have their three point shooting upgraded to like 95 and shoot from anywhere 😂like wtf is going on who wants to play like that lmao

CastingPouch

Right like what's the point of playing if you can either shoot from deep three contested or dunk over 3 opponents

AdamTheAntagonizer

Nba 2k is easily one of the worst pay-to-win games I've ever seen. I have no clue how people actually have fun playing this money grabbing bullshit online

FriedSkribe

That's true, all these 97 shooters obviously just bought their players there and have absolutely no basketball iq lol. I haven't even been playing in the park since 2k19 but i thought id give it a try again this year 😂still being optimistic hoping i can find a team lmfao

TrenRarely

I can’t play park at all anymore, it just puts me in a bad mood unless I’m running with 2 of my friends, which never happens.

I’ve only been playing rec for the last 2 months probably & of course some games are frustrating, overall it’s nowhere near as bad as park IME.

Suitable_Raccoon9955

I’d rather play park then rec lmao because if I get bad teammates I can tolerate a quick park game but I can’t tolerate 4 long quarters in the rec. and I’ve actually had a good randoms as teammates

2kwitcookies

If I see someone with 21 pts I'm dipping from that game before it starts. Yet I see people who come in and see us avg 5 to 12 and they leave. You can't expect all 5 guys to average 21 pts.

I think there should be part in the park when each player chooses a generic preset so both teams if they have the same type of player - have the same stats. No matter what your personal player is. Your rewards for the game then still contribute to your personal player afterwards. So you getting fair comp, and still gaining. So no matter what personal level you are, your not gonna be left on the side, you know your not going to come up against a bunch of tryhards all with the maxed out badges etc. It’ll purely be down to how you guys play. Then the park where you can take you usual personal players if you want. But I think a lot of people would like that option. Just my 2 cents.

justinfingerlakes

theres so many things they could do to make it a more enjoyable experience. even something as simple as punishing people that hold the ball for more tha 15 seconds without passing or anything along those lines. they lose rep or get none if the algo finds they just ball hogged without passing

Darkraider2

Yeah I think you need to group or find a 5 man to play like a team. And ontop if this I can’t stand when they miss all their shots then the decide to leave when they are down by 20.

FriedSkribe

right 😂😂 then im playing against 3 95s with a ball hogging 85 and an ai 97 🤣🤣 might as well just play my season lol

[deleted]

The worst is when they leave with 2 minutes left, they wasted all that time and gain literally nothing from it.

BigBodyBoards2k21

Welcome to being a center bro, it’s rough, all we are is board men, and if we get the O Board we aren’t expected to take it back up, always pass it out to the three, the most irritating thing ab it. Love being a defensive anchor though

FriedSkribe

Shit I can't even imagine bro lol id be heated as a Center playing with the dynamic of the park smh . I need a center tho rs cuz im a 93 playmaker i like to pass and set up crazy plays i could get so nasty with a good center and a PG who can shoot but isnt a ball hog lol

BigBodyBoards2k21

The park dynamic in my eyes ruins the game for me, that’s why I stick to rec mostly and extremely rarely pro am 5v5, cause I can have games where I get 20 points and 30 boards or games where I get triple doubles cause I’m getting doubled in the post

FriedSkribe

I just recently started playing in the rec, it's definitely much better, still has a lot of ball hogging shooting maniacs but at least the 5v5 match ups make them eventually have to pass 😂sad that they gotta be forced to pass. i don't get it i came to the conclusion it must be a lot of children who dont really understand basketball lol

BigBodyBoards2k21

They’re trying to be “comp” and “stage” players by stat padding by getting as many points as possible, i stat pad too ngl, I’ve played around 275 rec games, and I avg 11.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 3 assists. I only stat pad for those boards so my team trusts my rebounding 🤣

FriedSkribe

ay i feel you 😂 you gotta do what you gotta do honestly lmfao , sometimes i gotta ball hog and take it to the paint to give my team a fighting chance lmao. and its hilarious because the other team gets so confused and fucks up on D as if they've never seen a player that can take it to the inside 🤣

SixGunChimp [OP]

must be a lot of children who dont really understand basketball

I honestly think there's a lot of kids and younger teens that see Steph Curry drain threes and think they're the next coming.

RawJah83

I feel you. I've been only playing centers since 2k14 (my first nba 2k game). I just love playing defense and especially getting crazy blocks.

SixGunChimp [OP]

The snatch/grab block is more satisfying than hitting any shot on the entire game. All about that Rim Protector badge.

I hate that our grade still gets penalized for their dumb shit

wordplay420

For real. Makes me so upset. And the fact you get penalized for quitting on those type teammates is bs.

SixGunChimp [OP]

Thats the worst. You should be able to bench these guys or something. Get enough of the team to vote to bench him and he's kicked out of the game.

.3 assists as a guard

You have to like, genuinely make a concerted effort to not pass the ball to get numbers like that. I'm kind of impressed.

Dimaaaa

One assist every three games lol, and it's probably unintentional too, as a last resort pass out of shot or by spamming the pass button too much.

az-anime-fan

it's probably off an inbound he's forced to make.

1292norr

I’m 10 points 4 assists as a PG, is that okay? It’d be better but I never get the ball ;_;

SacKangz

as a 6'11" center ive loaded into waaaaaay to many games as the team's leader in APG. that shouldn't happen, ever.

The_Dok33

Been there, as 6'9 PF. And I'm only averaging 3 APG...

It's infuriating how few assists guards are getting.

Dimaaaa

I nearly always lead at the Park as a C, and I average 7ast at the Rec. Grabbing boards and then finding the open teammate on a fastbreak is money in the bank.

az-anime-fan

I'm a 6'6" SG, basically a slasher/defense build, all dunks, layups and short ranged shooting, my passing is my dump stat, but if you're a good slasher and aren't hitting open guys you aren't playing the position right, i think i took enough of the passing tree for fast break and dribbling badges, so every time i load into rec i see the averages of my team it's like this

C: 11pt, 15reb, 8ast

PF: 12pt, 6reb, 0ast

SF: 17pt, 3reb, 1ast

SG: 21pts, 6reb, 9ast (me)

PG: 17pt, 0reb, 0.5ast

​

and i just know we're screwed. the pf is just a stretch 4; which is fine, though you and I know the defense will be SUS, the center passes over put backs, which again, is fine, but so many centers have high assist numbers it's sorta sad. the SF thinks he's a dribble god or maybe is also a 3pt dreamer, those low ast numbers kill me every time that type of SF hits the floor, because we all know what the PG is going to be. yeah. .5ast guy.

I swear i can't figure those PGs out. yes, they exploit the hell out of the dribble moves, but it's 5 on 5, not 3 on 3, they're just going to run headlong into the center under the basket. hell, my slasher is no dribble god. i barely do more then take a pass (if i get one, and cut straight for the basket, if you dance around it gives people too much time to think about how to fuck you over. better still when you prove you can blow by your guy a few times the rest of the defense starts leaving their men to collapse down and suddenly you're picking up assists for those corner 3s or to the center under the hoop. when you as a slasher with no real passing skills or badges make the offense work EVERY F-ING time it's in your hands, while the dribble GOD can't do anything but waste time and curse at his teammates it's a sad state of affairs.

SixGunChimp [OP]

This is me every single day as a Power Forward who's always forced to play center with a team full of playmaking shot creator points guards.

.3 assists as a guard is genuinely difficult to do.

Re3seGam1ng

He had probably only played 3 games is the only explanation I can think of 😂

Awesomedinos1

Still one assist in 3 games isn't s good sign

Tokasmoka420

Brutal lol, no way I'd play with him.

You forgot about the face creation from youtube

TrenRarely

Seriously, why do they all want to look the exact same? 85% of all play shots look like identical twins, 100% of the wanna be ISO dribble god play shots look like identical twins

urethracheese26

Dribbling/Iso is dead asf its only about movement now everyone just speed glitch behind screens i wish i played people who iso or dribble but nah I only play mfs who cant score without a screen

TrenRarely

Exactly, they’re terrible at the game & have no idea about basketball. But I do love watching how frustrated they get if everyone refuses to set screens & they can’t do anything at all, it’s so pathetic 😂

the_triangler_orange

Why do they always have the Lebron beard

[deleted]

Why do all try hards dress like that. And use that face with the facial hair. It makes me so mad for no reason.

[deleted]

This is a wannabe tryhard. He's definitely a bot lol

majiin_kirby

Lol I once argued with some random who rage quit because he only got 4 touches from me, as the pg, when I had 7 assists in the first quarter and I passed to everyone.

His response was “learn to pass..”

My response was: “ I did, but it’s not the pg sole responsibility to pass, it’s everyone’s. The center was open, when three people jumped at him the center should have moved the ball to an open man. And so on. “

His response: “ u a pg! Tf a center supposed to pass 😂”

Bro this is the level of intelligence you play with when randoms want the ball to dribble and then shoot fade away threes

Then we argued

JayColeman97

You can easily tell who actually plays basketball and who doesn’t when you play 2k lol the basketball IQ of most randoms boggles my mind . It’s like they must play the role of the archetype they’ve chosen or it’s not basketball Lol

majiin_kirby

I was actually shocked when I saw that 2k wasn’t top 5 toxic community.

Because I literally have a build for every position. I play as good defense as you can with these bullshiz physics, I play with terrible teammates and still pass the ball after said teammates go 1/15 because they’re open. And still get called trash

Roadhouse_Swayze

Getting called trash by trash is a 2k rite of passage

Erm dude, just join a friend's server or close the application, if it's too late to leave the lobby.

Awesomedinos1

It always annoys me that there isn't a leave queue button. On the rare occasion I want to see if there's anyone playing rec I end up having to close the game if there is no one playing.

If I see a point guard with 10+ ppg and less than 3 assist I bail.

"playmaking" shot creator

NecrocomiconTWU

Playmaking is when you dribble for 18 seconds and get pickpocketed right?

[deleted]

He definitely will, people don’t realise it benefits everyone when they pass In 2k not just the people they pass to

beerio511

Why do they do that shit arm and leg paint? What’s the reason?

mywifiisbadtho

This is why they removed records from being shown prior to the match. 1 glance at the 12-217 and I woulda been restarting up 2k

Re3seGam1ng

He wouldn’t even be all star 1 if he played that many games. To be real he probably only played 3 games and got 1 assist out of those 3

[deleted]

I’ve had teammates calling time outs as I’ve gone to dunk the ball 😂😂

SixGunChimp [OP]

Had that happen to me today multiple times.

BigBlitz

2k really needs to start penalizing players that dribble excessively. Park I can give a pass, dribble all you want - if you dont like it just find some people to squad up with. But rec would be way more fun if it had a way to prevent players from dribbling excessively (with randoms or even with squads).

[deleted]

I think getting rid of the handles for days badge or atleast a huge nerf to it. If there was consequence for over dribbling we’d probably see less of it.

MrLADz

I wanna see that fg percentage, probably in the 20's.

Nobodyherem8

The face, the beard, the tats, they all give it away

BZ_DOES_IT

I wonder if they know that everyone despises watching them dribble for 20 seconds then take a leaning contested shot or if they are thinking like man if I would have made it that would have been sweet I’ll try again next possession 😂🤣😂

SacKangz

christ what an absolute bot

Nba2kFan23

Why shouldn't he? 2k taught him to do that and he never gets penalized for it with a teammate grade.

They really need some kind of tutorial mode on how to be a good teammate and they also need to fix the grading system.

TrenRarely

I just saw the tattoos, & said yes immediately. Then I looked at the stats….. Wow, is there a over/under on how many 3’s he took? I’ll put my money on 20+

All the wanna be dribble gods, with literal negative basketball IQ are the most annoying thing in the entire game.

Maik_Maik_Maik

I just got into 21 so I am a rookie and not a SS as usual. And even then I am 25 points, 5 assists and 1 rebound as a sharp SG. I know, not great, but keep in mind I play with 1/10 shooting teammates and most of the time get doubled.

amazing_a-hole

He definitely puts the 'shooting' in shooting guard.
