Played with some assholes in the rec center tonight. Could tell they were a 4-man group based on how they would completely ignore me all game. Ended up with 6 points and 18 rebounds, set screens and was first on the team to an A+. Meanwhile the SG shot 6/15 from 3 among many other shots and the SF shot 3/12. These dickheads had the nerve to message me and say “you’re welcome for the free win”. Like wtf?

You’re welcome for the boards and holding the paint down on defense and the easy baskets on the fast breaks. Shoot my own friends I get mad at them sometimes when I get 4 shots all game on a center even though I know I am not the focal point

I’m all for role playing but if I’m not getting the ball when wide open consistently and your consistently taking bad shots while I’m locking up on defense, i will literally stand out of bounds and run up and down the side line. Have fun tryna figure out your game plan 4v5 or sometimes even 3v5. Go play park or 3v3 if you’re gonna come in the rec on that BS

For real. I work 10 hours a day 5 days a week. I have time for 2-3 games a night, I don't want to sit and watch my teammates play without even getting the ball on offense. I had a game where I didn't take a shot for the first 2 1/2 quarters, then I stole the ball and was about to pass and this dude called timeout and they continued to not pass to me lmao.

u/AyeeeWood Sep 25 '20
They sometimes won’t even give you a chance to show if you’re trash. My guys and i have ran with 3 or 4 guys pleantly of times and everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Let’s find out if he’s an asset or a problem b4 we work him out of the offense. Some guys honestly lose bc they never have ppl to play with. The main person i run with lives two states over that i never met b4 and there’s a lot of gamers who create bonds like that. Gotta give everyone a shot

Same shot happened to me. I laughed then proceeded to call the next three timeouts we had left... malicious compliance 😈

I just stop playing defense when people do that. Then tell them that I though they didn't need me on offense so they didn't need me on defense either.

u/gentyent Sep 25 '20
Right, we should just sit there and watch them only pass to each other and take all the shots while we're out here trying to have a good team experience. Nah. Like, what, am I supposed to take the high road and accept that I'm basically just gonna have to watch them play the game that I also paid for, or quit? See, if you start selling, then those douches realize the only way it's gonna stop is if they actually treat you like a teammate.

Say that! Every time I experience this I stop playing offense, that way my grade doesn't take hits and the other 4 guys start racking up turnovers

u/wearing_the_letter_O Sep 25 '20
I just stand in the backcourt and still play d. If you don't want to involve me, you don't deserve my body as a decoy. I still get to play defense (which is fun for me) and keep my grade up.

u/FloppyDinosaurs Sep 25 '20
When people do me like that I will literally just start throwing the game. As a big you know you’re getting an A+ and all your badge points anyways. I’ll be damned if I spend 30 minutes of my life passing to the same snowbird every 20 seconds.

Exactly. If you care about points more than a win, this game isn’t for you

u/beast07006 Sep 25 '20
Rec is toxic. It is very annoying when only 2-3 people pass to each other the whole game. I hate to say it but I have thrown the game before too... just stand in the paint on offense and play zero d.
But I've also been on the opposite end when a low rated player gets mad they don't get the ball everytime down and stop playing. And they constantly follow the ball asking for it and when they get it they shoot a terrible shot.

u/jfman86 Sep 28 '20
Thought I was alone. It's obvious when playing Rec and not getting passed to on purpose because the backcourt is a group of buddies. 2 games in a row we barely win, my SF matchup ebde3 up 3/13 and 4/14 while I went 2/4 and 1/3....:I passed even as limited as I touched it, played good D ànd didn't mind too much that the PG n SG combined 35-40 FGA and made less than half.... We won. Then I get a message from the PG "that I'm trash" and the SG messaged in game two "just quit". They obviously just wanted AI but it pissed me off as I played D and still set screens and kept the floor spaced and ball moving. It's hard to laugh it off sometimes though.... But I need to quit rec. I'm also interested of any group as the outsider message me "good game" just once after winning 2 games in a row with the same guys being the glue guy they don't pass too ever yet you stay a good sport and win..... People's egos are crazy. I know I am good at the game, nothing special, it's a video game. We can all press X and drain threes but people act like it's only a few elite players that can score 20 points taking 15 to 20 shots each game. Luckily I don't care about stats and enjoy team games and team wins. But the pleasures of a random rec where all 5 guys take 10 shots and the team shoots 60%+ sure are great (the 3% of the time it happens)

Bro this shit happened to me four games in a row in rec. I miss one shot due to these laggy ass servers and get completely ignored all game after that. I play point guard and they kept passing right by my player every possession.

usually the pg would guard the other teams corner sitter and you’d have a lock on their dribbler

u/HidekiL Sep 25 '20
People are weird. As a PG I feel like it’s my job to make other people get easy looks. Not run behind threes and jack curry threes from the parking lot

Hold up. PG's can pass the ball?

I think passing is more fun a lot of the time tbh. Setting up good plays and team works makes it more fun no one likes sitting around and not getting to play.

u/Bendrake Sep 25 '20
I’m a PG and maybe only take 3-4 shots in a Rec game.
I average around 10 assists, I get so much more gratification from a good pass or setup.

u/302born Sep 25 '20
Honestly it’s because when you look at the nba now it’s a bunch of undersized shooting guards playing point. The best points guards outside of Chris Paul have pretty much score first role. So it’s only natural most kids on 2k follow suit. No one takes pride in being a pure point guard anymore. They’d rather have 30 points than 15 assists. And I think if you ask most of them what a point guard is supposed to be they would probably just say “he brings the ball up court” or something.

u/AfghanTornado Sep 26 '20
Lmao. What difficulty are you playing. My teammates are always trash so I can't pass to them it's all bricks. Looking at you klay and Steph. I'd be lucky if I can get 10 in a match.

u/beast07006 Sep 25 '20
I agree and disagree. As a floor general your job is to make sure your team scores. If you can shoot like Curry/Harden then jacking up 3's is a good option. But if you shoot like Westbrook/Lonzo Ball/or even CP3 setting up the bigs for easy shots makes sense. It's all about what you are working with... but I also agree that if you have some great players on your team, they need to be involved or at least everyone should know their role.

u/Xeniamm Sep 25 '20
I agree with you man, 100%. Play and build to your strenghts. I can't shoot for shit so I went with the popular two-way slasher PG. Thinking about making a Giannis build with a tall, fast, and good at finishing player so I can play with other PGs (As those are the only ones I see in 2k20).
I love passing and everything related to playmaking though (Not only in nba2k, other games too like LoL where I play JG or Fifa where I really enjoy playing as a CAM over the rest of the positions) so idk if making that build would be worth it.
1
u/HidekiL Sep 25 '20
That’s great. I can shoot too, this meme I think is targeting PGs who iso all game, I have a big build and I know who the meme is targeting. Obviously to get good positioning for your teammates you should also be an active threat. But you shouldn’t be the only threat.

This is why I made a 6'9 Rebounding Guard. I can rebound and guard all positions on D then I just have to set screens or stand a the corner on offense.

Yes I've used a red/green SF for 2 years in a row and it's a really good "do everything' build

I’m the only play shot that will drive then pass the ball
In my brain it’s like why did the whole team stop the drive to leave a pure shot build open

I always drive and kick but when I kick they dribble and miss lol
so I’m done playing with online people unless I start to do the dribble 200 times then shoot like the rest, since 2k buffed shooting now

There will never be a team sports game online where each player is controlled by someone else is not a shit experience where you wonder why you bother.
NBA career is so much damn fun but the moment I step into the my career online mode I try not to turn off the game in frustration.

OP never said he was good. He just plays well enough that he can get A without scoring. Spamming dribble moves and putting up all the shots does not mean you’re good either. If you’re getting a C with that many points that means you held the ball too long and don’t play defence and when you do you spam steal and keep fouling.

It’s apart of it. Passing is a key component of basketball. The dudes who sit in the corner all game probably have a better b-ball iq.
We get it bro, you’re hating on OP’s post because that’s all you can amount to in 2K. You probably envy guys like JJ reddick that with in corners all day. He gets paid a pretty penny tho.
