@@TonicKeyboardwhy do you think more people play rec instead of park now?

It’s very similar in no squads theater…that very first game with randoms. Just pass the rock whenever they get open…& by game 2 they no longer play so selfish. People are more worried about padding their stats than getting a good teammate grade.

LOOK AT THE SPACING ON UR TEAM VS THE OTHER TEAM💯ESPECIALLY IN RANDOM REC THE MORE U PASS THE MORE PEOPLE WANNA SPOT UP💯

I’m a SG and average 40 points and 1 assist. Why? Cause bum 🥷’s sell me all the time. People get mad that I take all the shots but if I’m averaging and shooting above 70% then what’s the problem? Sit your ass down. It’s funny because 80% of the time my points come directly from assists. ☠️

This is the sad truth. As a PG in the Rec no one cares if you can score. They don’t necessarily even want you to create for them because they never stop moving. They just want the ball. Funny thing is if you given the ball up as a PG and get open, chances are you don’t get it back.

It is true, I've been on the court where the 1-4 wanting to "play point guard" nobody wanted to spot up, nobody wanted to lock up their matchup, nobody wanted to slash. Everyone just wanted the ball, dribble for 18 seconds and if they weren't open pass the ball with 5 seconds left

This is the perfect summary of pg in the rec.

Best thing to do in random rec is spot up and make it easier for your point guard all these dudes do is set screens and move non stop

Another thing, okay so random rec as a pg people like to play fast paced. So just advancing the ball around helps with that fast pace if people see you playing super slow screen and roll constantly people are gonna get mad. Of course you need to play slow sometimes but passing just helps with the pace in general you’ll have your opportunities to play how you want to play but just keep the pace high and have good ball movement.

Have any recommendations for 80 driving layup 7’2

Hey tonic can you make a vid on your dunk packages for your stretch?

This is definitely the difference between winning and losing most times in random rec.

Do you think Kyrie dribble style is necessary for random rec? I've tried it a couple of times but prefer pro dribble style. You think it's worth dropping the swb on your 6'4 build and put the stats elsewhere?

@TonicKeyboard

Nah pro is fine, but I would make a 6'6 over a 6'4 if I was going to lower the speed with ball. I think the only 2 benefits a small guard have over other builds are kyrie dribble style and patty base

@AT-qu2bz

If you cant use properly the kyrie dribble style then just make a SF and spot-up

When I’m pg, I slow down the game a lot & I dictate how the defense plays. I get my teammates open & sometimes put them in spots they don’t expect to be. I do everything I can to have them score & then my turn comes. It’s not that difficult to feed everybody cuz that’s how you play team basketball.

90% of the time, if you pass the ball to the open man, your team scores and you’ll win. Even when me and two of my mates play squad rec, we get out with a 2 man that tries to play a 2v5 and we go down 10, they start passing us the ball and we suddenly up by 10. I don’t under the mf that try to play 2’s in the rec man. I think the only exception to not passing someone the ball is if they have an AI on them, but even then it can still work

@@cooperhodgson7008 When I squad rec with a friend, I hate when the other 3 or 2 block you out. Like wtf?! I seriously hate how & why they fuckin do it. It’s 5v5. If you wanna play like that, go to the 3s or 2s court or the theater. It’s just mind boggling & obviously we end up losing.

Any pointers on being a good pg ? I use to be a center & a lock but I like to look for my teammates.. I just never really played pg fr but when we do get a pg they don’t wanna play no defense at all .. which is irritating

If you are trying to play PG in random rec learn how to embrace the chaos, have some go to move that can get you some quick easy buckets. It's really hard for most pgs to be able to look for their shot while also seeing when to hit a teammate on an open shot/cut. But it all comes with reps of playing that game

Yall be having these high ass 3s shooting below 70% from 3 is crazy

U not lying about the if ya at half court and someone slashes I see their man right behind them and in my mind I worry if the other person has steal because that’s an easy interceptor for any player tbh. But it works out enough for people to think they are open on those cuts

I will never understand why people make PG builds only to score. A pgs job is to facilitate the offense, not just shoot every possession and then quit.

You know why because in 2k, since forever PGs get the most badges and better attributes so. That’s why there’s never a shortage of PGs

Sometimes random rec guys are just gonna complain. It's like they come on just to start a fight. I was in a game the other day 8/8 as the pg and had 4 assists(I avg about 9 or 10 I think in mainly solo rec). We were up 40 in the 3rd quarter. I was moving the ball so everyone had 6+ shots. Two guys had more than I did. Yet the SG started screaming at me about how "You're a PG! I shouldn't have more assists than you! The PF wants more points!" The PF was 1/7 at the time after missing 4 wide open 3s that I hit him for. I was like "i'm 8/8 on wide open shots. Two of yall have more shots than me and I'm moving the ball so who care's about assists. We're up 40 and Everyone is eating. I'd have more assists, but It's not my fault he can't make an open shot." I was still in the wrong and then got iced out by the SG and PF the rest of the game. Sometimes you just can't win with these dudes as a PG.🤣

Too many people who play 2K hop on the game and have a miserable time and do their best to make everyone on their team have a miserable time too

Most pg don't understand that playing in random basketball setting your team can make or break the game. I play center/pf/sg and I shoot 65 % on my sg, 55% on my center..and if I don't get the open pass, why play. I can turn on utube to watch someone else play

That crazy Rockin is my hb

So funny because I’ve played with him he is on my friends list but when I played with him he was on his 7”1 big like a wemby build

I watched a PG put up 27 shots for 36 pts and we got blown out by 25. I took 1 shot..with a 98 three ball..

The worst part about that is I'm sure he thought he was hooping because he had 36 points and thought you were the one that sold the game

129-53 wtf Where the sportsmanship that last shot tho

Yes that’s why I make a PG because PGs are selfish and they aren’t good. I play high IQ basketball so if I’m the primary ball handler I know I’ll make the right play and get everyone involved

Why do you guys keep your player at a 92 OVR? IMO this ruins the entire 92 under rec. It should be for new players/new builds. Scoring against new players/builds with 1000+ hours doesn’t make you good. At least upgrade your builds & play random rec in 93+.

Not including tonic but most people do this because they can’t beat real competition and act like they’re good by playing low ball players, a lot of KZreadrs do it for clips and making their builds look better then they actually are. Fragile egos.
