I feel for you. I did same thing yesterday. Mostly a defensive big all these years, but made a 3nd shooting guard. Trying to join elite and was too shook to shoot cuz all the feedback. Eventually said fuck it and was ok, but nowhere near as nice as your game. Sorry about you losing the stats.
I had a good game cuz evidently I chose the easiest build to get buckets with. 94 driving dunk, 93 handles, and 87 3pt makes scoring basically fool proof. I had no idea it was so easy.
Its no wonder so many kids are clogging up this game thinking they're gods gift to 3d rendered hard courts. All they have to do is hold turbo and mash x and hey presto they just ended someone's life at the rim
A single center can't stop the power of slashing in this game, that's a TEAM job.
People get clean blown by nonstop and somehow it's the center's job (as the slowest player) to get there in time to get a stop? Let alone helping on backcuts? Nah, it's the primary defender's job to put up some resistance, it's the closest perimeter defender's job to slide in front or dig in from the side if he's able, it's the center's job to be there as early as possible if there IS a breakdown, and it's the next defender behind the C's job to play 2 for a second and cover the stretch for him.
If a team knows how to score, it takes a TEAM that knows how to defend to stop them. Not one player.
I'm sure you know that if you are able to be in position early, people are rarely scoring on you at the rim.
Wings have to make sure the baseline is closed, so the slash comes on the top side, where the big can cover. If its baseline backdoor cuts, very hard to stop
Not to hate on you OP but I genuinely dislike guards like you. I do my best as a big to guard the perimeter and not get cooked because everyone can shoot and then I also have to slide into the paint to try to defend the rim whenever anyone gets beat just to get dunked on by some random mashing Square… all while I have 94 block and 99 interior defense.
Preaching to the choir bud. Nothing infuriates me more as a center than just flat out not being able to do anything about a rim runner.
Only counter I've found is taking a charge instead of trying to actually play defense
6'6', weight is whatever unlocks silver Fearless Finisher. After that the main attributes are 94 driving dunk, 81 lay, 82 mid, 87 3pt, 72 perimeter D I think, and 83? vert.
Tbh not that fun for me to play with just cuz I dont like being borderline helpless on D. REALLY have to work hard to ensure you can at least get a hand up on your man when he shoots. If he's going to the rim you cant do anything about it though
As a new player I don’t even play online games because of this subreddit. There’s at least 5 freak out posts a day about someone doing bad in a game. I’m 34, I don’t need some 23 year old kid cussing me out because I’m trying to learn shot timings with latency involved or I’m not a certain plate color. I just stick to playing MyCareer.
I'm 34. Never played a 2k. I play a lot of random rec. Just mutes mics, play your best and don't be an asshole. Have fun, don't let them scare you off because they can't have fun. But TBH don't learn shot timing in REC. Go play some theater 3v3 or something
I’m 23, a general basketball and 2K noob and I also fear the mic warriors in this game. I want genuine feedback on how to get better but I also can’t trust every random’s advice. There was this one big who helped me slow down a bit and take better shots so shoutout to him for being a chill guy to someone new to the community. I fear that that’s rare though.
man id be willing to help you and so many others on getting better. im no 2k guru but ive been playing for so long that it just comes natural to me. i just got off a long deployment and started back playing with my squad in 5v5 pro am, and im somewhat back in my groove. as for dribble sigs and jumpshots for guards i can't help you this year, as ive only played lock/big. but for knowing the game and getting better in general, id love to play with you and kind of coach you up without all the toxicity. i dont care about plates or records or stick skill, i just want to have fun sharing knowledge about the game i love(IRL basketball, not 2K)
Bro these sub Reddit’s are full of people who play the game once a week or play a game once a day or wtv and NONE of them know what there talking abt simply because they don’t play the game enough. “Mic warriors” aren’t a thing we’re all grown men if you can’t take criticism and deal with adversity go play something else.
its random rec brother nothing to be afraid of. The people in their that are dicks are gonna be dicks whether you are good or bad. just play what you want
by afraid I mean "making people angry, getting iced out, and having zero fun."
Dont give a rats what people say online. I do care about being a good teammate and having fun myself
happened to me last week. twice in a row. moved from silver plate to black. 2nd game disconnected with less than a min left in the 4th w 23 pts 13 boards 7 assists and 4 blocks as a glass cleaning 3 level pf. got back to silver plate yesterday. won't be going back to rec lmao. since that bullshit I've been staying in theatre and park.
The main reason most people have headsets is just to bitch. They are usually ass players too and having a bad game and looking to throw everyone else under the bus. It doesn't matter to me if the guards are missing, that's just more rebounds for me. I love getting 6 offensive rebounds in a row.
I think probably over 60% of the time when u are having a good game and get the "this game will not count" msg its somebody hating on u and reported u for cheating just because u cooking them or one of your teammates depends on how many ast u had
I feel this. I started recently and my SG is 75 rated with really good 3pt shooting and attacking the basket plus I would consider myself a good perimeter defender but it sucks because if you miss a shot you get shut out of the game. That’s if I’m even lucky to find enough teammates, it is so pathetic to me that 92-99 rated players think they can’t play in a game with someone in the 70s. If you’re that good, you should want that challenge of being the main guy on the team. Backing out is a cowards move
bro, I hard wired into a wifi extender 70 bucks, 500 plus mbps... lagged out 3 x, latency even on wifi been better but lagged out of a 2nd half game games cooked I have to move my setup to the living room i guess
I noticed it happens often when you’re blowing out the pther team and having a great game statistically. It always happens when I’m about to hit gold or purple on a build :/
That sounds about right 2k has a way of giving you the short end someway some how I have this same issue can be doing great in the rec limiting my match up on defense then lag spike all over the place in the 4th qt hopefully not dcing only 5p have an error pop up either win or lose
Almost every other (Multi-Online) game has some sort of reconnect capability.
This being said, imagine how awful it'd be to be playing a game where your SF team mate quits on you, then his AI brain farts and does nothing every 60 seconds cause old mate is opening and closing app trying to leave rec.
Double edged sword.
"Do you want to rejoin game?"
Yes/No.
He gets to leave, you get a decent AI.
Or you get to rejoin a game you got DC'd from.
How hard would this be to code in?
not all purple plate are what you think they should be. some are role players that have a squad to run with and being carried. it sucks when you are winning . and in my case . me and 4 AIs then got that message this game will not be counted.
i’ve been a center for years bro lol i downsized to small forward and power forward still got a center tho. if i made a guard id prolly be the best on 2k no kizzy 😂

Either you have no D or no speed. Which is it?
lol no D. I have bronze clamps and challenger though. so I'm not a total liability. even got a block on a Center in the last game I played

Does that really work better? I don’t want to do that but if it saves me from getting yammed on 5 times a game I’ll do it.
It works every now and then. Definitely a bit of an artform. And you'll definitely just flop and let him dunk over you a couple times figuring it out
Can you drop the build? That sounds like something I'd like to try
6'6', weight is whatever unlocks silver Fearless Finisher. After that the main attributes are 94 driving dunk, 81 lay, 82 mid, 87 3pt, 72 perimeter D I think, and 83? vert.

What jumper you using? I got 6’5” pg with 90 3ball and sometimes struggle to hit consistently
My SG is 6'6" so you can't use my jumper anyways
[удалено]
3&D, my bad
That's 2k at its finest bro, hey don't forget they probably threw two extra loses and a soft ban on you for it lol

Gatorade Gym is very useful for this
Why Gatorade gym over practice gym? I've heard this suggested a few times but idk why Gatorade gym specifically
Other players are at Gatorade and give you the experience of online latency
Oh cool! Thanks
Is it only on next gen? The only thing I’ve seen at the Gatorade gym are workout stuff
Use the mute button before the shoot button lol

If you pass the ball no one is gonna be mad at you. You know for a fact the numbers on those posts don't tell the whole story.
I swear I only get disconnected when I’m winning lol

by afraid I mean "making people angry, getting iced out, and having zero fun." Dont give a rats what people say online. I do care about being a good teammate and having fun myself
Mainly focus on gettin buckets & passin to the open man when needed 💪🏾no need to worry bout nothin, & don’t force shots tbh , you’ll b aiight

This is the post I needed bc I wanted to take my sg to the rec but was nervous too. Thank you!

Unplug your router and wait 15 seconds.

First off, bro who cares what anyone thinks frfr
This happens way too often, to too many people. You never get knocked out when it’s a bad game. Always a good ones, smh.
i’ve been a center for years bro lol i downsized to small forward and power forward still got a center tho. if i made a guard id prolly be the best on 2k no kizzy 😂
Ooooooo wow
