[mossy nexus]

my 99 driving layup build feels useless

[surreal crest]

dimer messes with shot timing

[mossy nexus]

like i get blocked so much it’s crazy 💀

[white wasp]

There is no shot timing on a layup

[mossy nexus]

you can turn timing on for layups

[white wasp]

I dont see why you would to be honest

[mossy nexus]

latency makes it annoying online

unless your internet super good

[white wasp]

I'd rather just get a good angle and a matchup and trust my badges and rating

Because if its a bad take than it doesn't matter

The set up is wayy more important

Most of the people i see with timing online just run at the big

And quit when they miss

Like duh bro

[mossy nexus]

i have a buildw 6 hof finishing badges and trust when i say anchor wins out most of the time

[white wasp]

To be honest i think it should

[mossy nexus]

one badge vs 6 hof stacking lol?

nah

plus 99 layup

[white wasp]

Yeah but how many inches of height are u giving up

Wingspan

Than its just you and him

Interior defense

Thats how basketball has always been

[mossy nexus]

bruh

ja morant and kyrie be finishing over bigs

[white wasp]

U can be 6ft6 with a 48 inch vert and be known as a good dunker and challenge brook lopez and get packed

[mossy nexus]

my ratings should matter more

than my height

[white wasp]

Kyrie is finesse hes not running at the rim

Hes using angles

[mossy nexus]

i am too

[white wasp]

Most of the time when ja scores at the rim he has a switch and beats them off the dribble

The big usually plays help D but cant fully slide over or the slip will be open

If your just running at the big and expecting to lay him than thats on you

[mossy nexus]

i’m scoring the same way

i try to play realistic and beat my matchup off dribble

but chase down blocks always recover

[white wasp]

As someone who plays center we usually dont even be that far behind

We let yall get the space and then close it off to trick u into a bad shot

Atleast i do

[mossy nexus]

because speed doesn’t matter in this game

[white wasp]

I think your overestimating how much space you have

[mossy nexus]

nope

it’s been that way for a while

[limber canyon]

anybody tryna run?

[mossy nexus]

bigger builds even w less speed can keep up w faster smaller builds

[limber canyon]

park

lmk got w guard and a big

[white wasp]

Yeah but a center whos actually a center

Usually much slower to rotate

I think the issue in 2k that ur finding comparing it to ja and kyrie

U cant really use the glass in this game

In real life they hit the glass so its goaltending

In 2k all the layups rarely hit the backboard

So that plays to the centers advantage

[mossy nexus]

because w a 99 layup i’m expecting to finish like them

think about it

[white wasp]

Dude its a layup

[mossy nexus]

the most efficient way to score in basketball?

yeah ik

[white wasp]

It will always be easier for a bigger guy to block a shot than it is for the smaller guy to finish

[mossy nexus]

you watch basketball????

[white wasp]

Of course

Are you telling me that its easier to score on a 7 footer

Than it is for them to send your shot to the stands?

[mossy nexus]

if i have the space w the attributes and badges i should be able to finesse SOME of the time

[white wasp]

Brook lopez is pushing 40 and is slow as hell

And is in the dpoy race

[mossy nexus]

how many blocks does he avg?

[white wasp]

And is top 3 in blocks and contests at the rim

2 and a half

[mossy nexus]

exactly

you can average damn near 5+ in this game

which is ridiculous

[white wasp]

I've never seen that

[mossy nexus]

every possession in 2k is either a block, steal, tip

the game is never fluid

always stoppage

[white wasp]

I've hit 40 every season the most ive seen blocks per is near 3

Against super sweats

I've only seen 5 in the beginning of the season

U must be playing wembanyama or the shot selection is terrible

[mossy nexus]

the fact you defending this is ridiculous

[white wasp]

Dude i play center

[mossy nexus]

i see that now

[white wasp]

Im the opposite side of the coin

[mossy nexus]

you’re biased lmao

[white wasp]

And im a pretty good center

You cant just run at the rim and expect to be bailed out because you have a 99

If u have a 99 three and u mistime it u can brick

Same logic

[mossy nexus]

you’re assuming

how i play

[white wasp]

If your playing the way your talking there is no layups

You should be dunking

If your that open

The fact your getting layups means either your build cant dunk or decent defence is being played

And with limitless u can dunk from like 9 feet from the rim

So im kinda confused

[mossy nexus]

this the problem w y’all lmao

i’m not dunking cuz i don’t want too

[white wasp]

Than thats your issue

Your literally setting yourself up to get contested

[mossy nexus]

i shouldn’t HAVE to dunk

[mossy nexus]

you’re literally explaining the problem

if it’s not a dunk then it’s likely heavily contested

[white wasp]

Dude if your running at the rim and meeting a 7 footer head on what do you expect?

[mossy nexus]

i wanna enjoy MY playstyle

[white wasp]

Their whole build is centered around protecting the basket

[mossy nexus]

my whole build is centered around scoring at the basket???

1dude you’re so biased

lmao

[white wasp]

Im not biased its common sense

[mossy nexus]

you’re mad biased

i also have a big

[white wasp]

Definitely not

I have a guard

[mossy nexus]

so i block and get blocked

i can see both sides

[white wasp]

My layup is an 80 and i dont have an issue with getting blocked 5 times a game

[mossy nexus]

because i guaranteed you have the generic 6’9 build

[white wasp]

Well if your build is short

Than thats even MORE common sense

Your giving up even more height 😂

[mossy nexus]

2k has brainwashed y’all lmao

[white wasp]

How talls your player?

[mossy nexus]

how common is a 6’9 pg

i’m 6’3

[white wasp]

Dude i have a 6ft9 and a 6ft2

On my 6ft2 i dont even THINK about layups

I understand its your playstyle

[mossy nexus]

it shouldn’t have to be like that lmao

[white wasp]

But your giving up multiple FEET in overall reach

[mossy nexus]

i have 6 hof badges and 99 layup

[white wasp]

Your build is probably 6ft2 with a 6ft10 wingspan going against a center who can grab the rim without jumping

Who also has 5 hof badges

All focused around stopping shots

[mossy nexus]

lmao you can’t even be fair

[white wasp]

Its not fair

[mossy nexus]

if that’s the case then it should be 50/50

[white wasp]

No

[mossy nexus]

currently it’s like 70/30

[white wasp]

Shooting a high% at the rim is hard

In real basketball

[mossy nexus]

HUH??????

layups are the most high % shot in the league you’re trippin

[white wasp]

The only players who shoot a really good percentage are the superstars

[mossy nexus]

well with a 99 layup i should be a damn superstar you’re buggin dude

[white wasp]

Yeah layups are the highest percentage shot in a league where the average 3 point % is 35

[mossy nexus]

i sacrificed in other areas to get that and it’s not even worth it

[white wasp]

The field goal % in the paint rn in the nba is 48%

[mossy nexus]

ok now tell me the average % around the rim

i’ll wait

[white wasp]

48.2%

Not even half

[mossy nexus]

so which is the higher % shot???

it doesn’t matter it’s a higher chance of scoring

[white wasp]

48% means that usually they are getting stopped

[mossy nexus]

and 35 means they’re usually missing

but you can shoot fade away 3s like midranges in this game

but i bet you have 0 problems with that huh?

[white wasp]

Your acting like league is shooting 67% at the rim

Your probably shooting better FG% wise than the most efficient player in the nba

And complaining

[mossy nexus]

everything is inflated in this game % wise

which is another reason it’s ridiculous

[white wasp]

Exactly

So.how are u complaining about missing layups

Contested layups

When your probably finishing at a higher rate than giannis

[mossy nexus]

lmao this guy is so one sided

you’re missing that point on purpose

[white wasp]

Your missing my point

Your taking layups on an undersized guard and expecting to get bailed out

[mossy nexus]

i literally have a big man build and i’m able to call that stuff out

[white wasp]

Your probably shooting above 50%

Which means your making more than you miss

[mossy nexus]

bailed out exactly?

[white wasp]

And your still complaining

Dude whats your field goal%

[mossy nexus]

like 2k doesn’t bail y’all out w these busted interior defense??

[white wasp]

Interior D isn't even that good

[mossy nexus]

dudes miss the easiest shots while i’m at the rim and sometimes i don’t even do anything

layups missing while they’re getting open coverage even tho i’m just standing there

[white wasp]

Your 6ft2

You do know 2k23 added shooting over people right?

[mossy nexus]

i’m talking about when i’m playing on my big

i just said i had a big

[white wasp]

Thats just a skill issue bro

[mossy nexus]

you don’t know ball bro sorry

[white wasp]

On my big at the peak of the season i 67% from the field

Majority at the rim

So im sorry but if your struggling thats literally your shot selection

[mossy nexus]

dudes be sprinting to the paint dunking on the whole team but you’re worried about a contested LAYUP going in??

[proper edge]

Po

Pp

[mossy nexus]

y’all just love that cheesy corny bs

[white wasp]

The dunks are wack too especially quick drops nobody said that

But your talking about an undersized build

[proper edge]

Pp

[white wasp]

Hell even ur center

Missing layups

[mossy nexus]

exactly

[white wasp]

I literally cannot relate to that

[mossy nexus]

what’s your center build??

[white wasp]

Like i said im a near 70% shooter from the field

So i literally dont know what to tell you

A glass cleaning finisher

[mossy nexus]

lmao

dude

ok

a “meta” center build

alright man

[white wasp]

My build isn't meta

[mossy nexus]

yes it is

[white wasp]

Im not even pure inside

[mossy nexus]

it’s one of the best center builds in 23

[white wasp]

I just have the name glass finisher

I made my build through trial and error i didn't watch any videos

Thats why i have 3 centers

My close shot is a 85 my lay is a 70 my driving dunk is a 84 and my standing is a 80

[mossy nexus]

99 3, 99 rebound, 99 dunk, 99 steal, 99 perimeter d, 99 pass, 99 ball handle all have their benefits and are worth the upgrades

[white wasp]

Hes 7ft2 max wingspan

[mossy nexus]

99 layup is underwhelming

[white wasp]

The only attribute i have over 85 besides finishing is my rebounding and block 😂

[mossy nexus]

i forgot 99 block

[white wasp]

Layups in general are underwhelming

[mossy nexus]

so why are you arguing with me about it if you know lmao

that’s literally my whole point

is that i made a build to be great at THAT and it’s trash

[white wasp]

Layups are underwhelming for a reason

Your literally taking a shot at the rim thats below the rim

Against uber athletic players

[mossy nexus]

you’re argument makes no sense and you’re just leaning on one side

[white wasp]

My center is 7ft2 and i still get animations where he lays it up like he cant dunk

[mossy nexus]

they’re athletic i’m athletic what’s your point???

[white wasp]

Its much easier to contest a layup than it is a dunk

[mossy nexus]

lmao

you’re so wrong

[white wasp]

Im convinced you've never hooped a day in your life

[mossy nexus]

you can contort your body while in motion for a layup once you’re in motion for a dunk it’s only so much you can do

youre definitely tripping

[white wasp]

If somebody is attempting a dunk that means they had the space to gather the ball strongly and go up strong, so usually a contest will be a foul

A layup your literally extending the ball out

[edgy sable]

in this game at least yeah

[mossy nexus]

thank you

this guy lmao

[white wasp]

In reality too bro

If you've actually hooped

Against people who can actually dunk

Consistently

Jumping with them is a death wish

[edgy sable]

well i can’t dunk irl so i can’t speak on that lmao

[mossy nexus]

because you’re probably short and not a good shot blocker lmao

[white wasp]

We've all seen clips of people stepping out of the way when people dunk because sometimes its too late to contest

[mossy nexus]

ask them to do that against a big body who’s a shot blocker

it’s a reason you don’t see the amount of posters you see in 2k in the nba

[white wasp]

I literally played power foward 😂

You know how hard it is to get a good clean stop on somebody whos already gathered the ball?

Without fouling

[edgy sable]

hard

[white wasp]

A dunk is a more secure gather than a layup

[edgy sable]

refs aways give benefit of the doubt to the offense

in my experiences at least watching and playing

[white wasp]

Because they usually are fouls

[mossy nexus]

someone who’s very very good at layups is harder to stop you’re not changing my mind

like i said there’s a reason nba players don’t dunk as much as they take layups

[white wasp]

So you'd rather be kyrie irving than Michael jordan?

Or giannis

Or lebron

[north loom]

It’s impossible to get a 99 ovr if you aint paying dawg

[mossy nexus]

yeah because his playstyle is more appealing to ME

it’s all preference

[edgy sable]

paul pierce over here

[white wasp]

Than you have to accept the pros and cons of your play style

[mossy nexus]

and i can also call out that the way it’s implemented in the game is garbage

layups have been garbage in the game forever

[white wasp]

I literally said this

[north loom]

☠️

[white wasp]

I literally said that you can't compare layups to irl because in 2k using the glass for touch shots doesn't exist

And it probably never will

[mossy nexus]

but i have a right to be mad because i paid money for that build and it’s trash lmao

[edgy sable]

the truth

[white wasp]

But even then like i said already, your probably shooting more than 50% which is better than superstars in real life

So u shouldn't complain

[tired prism]

Layup is harder to contest and force a miss, dunk is harder to block

[mossy nexus]

yes i should lol

[mossy nexus]

agree w this

but in 2k layups are the easiest thing to contests and make miss

[tired prism]

In 2k yea

[white wasp]

Dude wont say his field goal %

[little harbor]

Season 5 rewards look busted 😢

[edgy sable]

for park?

[mossy nexus]

because i take midranges too lmao and you’re gonna tell me i shouldn’t complain

[little harbor]

Yah you get a tshirt at lvl 10

It’s clothing this time

[white wasp]

People green 15% contested middys all the time

[edgy sable]

dam

[little harbor]

And you get a what looks like motorcycle lvl 40

[mossy nexus]

because of blinders

and my % is 60

[edgy sable]

nice as hell

[white wasp]

Dude your complaining about 60%

[tired prism]

I hate midrange shots in this game

[white wasp]

I agree the game does need a revamp

But i rarely see anybody shoot 60^

[tired prism]

They are ridiculously higher % than 3s which is just not realistic

[white wasp]

Your playing good

[little harbor]

They gotta bring back the different badge layout tho

[mossy nexus]

it’s not only from layups and A LOT of my finishes come from transition baskets

[edgy sable]

wdym

[mossy nexus]

i love them

[white wasp]

As they should

[little harbor]

2 seasons ago

They had the swap cored badges

[tired prism]

Yeah but there's a reason no one takes them anymore irl

[edgy sable]

oohhhh i didn’t play park before this season

[tired prism]

It just doesn't feel like realisticly efficient basketball

[mossy nexus]

they need to rework it all, would be nice to see better footwork animations too

[white wasp]

Wait what

[white wasp]

Yes bro we need better footwork for bigs

[little harbor]

That’s what I’m saying that’s why you see this and like oh it’s valid you should’ve seen the last 2

[clever nacelle]

👉Why no giveaway for the switch consoles?????

[mossy nexus]

also nice to see animations like euros actually create separation

[mossy nexus]

i mean a lot of nba players still take the midrange

[white wasp]

Its crazy how nobody takes midrange anymore but all the best scorers in the nba shoot that shot

[white wasp]

I wish bigs weren't so limited on animations

[little harbor]

💀

[edgy sable]

mainly a myteam player sorry i haven’t been paying much attention to park, but being able to switch your core badges sounds broken

[mossy nexus]

right

[white wasp]

We need more big layup animations

We need a giannis animation

AD

[edgy sable]

jokic animation is underrated

[little harbor]

Larry bird with the hooks

💀

[white wasp]

I found jokic pretty bad

Maybe its because my build is tall

[mossy nexus]

need some passing animations for bigs too

[edgy sable]

maybe it’s just the people i’m playing against then lmao

[white wasp]

Some animations work better on shorter centers

[mossy nexus]

like 2k just sucks bro they could’ve released more passing animations and stuff like that w the seasons

[tired prism]

Not very many compared to what they used to

[little harbor]

I was like that too before this 2k then realized it’s more fun online

[mossy nexus]

like haliburton, stockton etc

[tired prism]

Generally its a bad shot

[mossy nexus]

jokic

[white wasp]

Most of the superstars and allstars today shoot middy

I actually think its impossible to name any that dont

[edgy sable]

i mean how iconic are their passing styles though - the same way as magic or white chocolate

[white wasp]

Even giannis shoots a good% from mid

💀

Now his attempts per game are questionable

[little harbor]

Yah but bruh people in Rec don’t know how to setup passes you can be driving in clear as daylight no one on you and they wait to pass when people run towards you

[white wasp]

But he'd be the only oddman out

[white wasp]

Bro they set you UP

[little harbor]

Legit

[tired prism]

Most players do shoot some but look at the % of shots taken from midrange 15,20,30 years ago vs tpday

Its a bad shot

[white wasp]

I'll cut backdoor they'll pass to me on my guard when im under the basket

Like bro i cant do anything with this

[little harbor]

Then they hit you up like how you 10-15 like you passed 5 ridiculous shots wayyyy after the play and I missed

[white wasp]

I wouldn't say its a bad shot its just statically less than a 3

So shooting a lower % on 3s is better than shooting a nid

[tired prism]

Why pass when you can hoist up a 27 ft contested 3 off a fastbreak

[mossy nexus]

just to have more variety

[white wasp]

We need a jokic passing style

[tired prism]

Its worse than a 3pt, a layup, a dunk and a free throw

[white wasp]

Arvidas sabonis passing style

Cp3 passing style

[tired prism]

So literally the worst shot you can take in basketball outside of like halfcourt shots

[little harbor]

My favorite is the one who says corner, corner, you pass it and they brick it 💀

[mossy nexus]

lol well i hope 2k doesn’t kill it off

[white wasp]

I get what u mean but i cant really commit to calling it a bad shot when every star dominates with it

[mossy nexus]

my builds will always have a middy

[edgy sable]

all depends on what you can make - a demar middy would be a much better shot than a demar 3 for example

[tired prism]

When its the worst shot in the entire game of basketball its a bad shot. Of course great talent makes it look good but its the driving force of these 20 ppg terrible efficiency guards

[white wasp]

Well what has more value?

[tired prism]

You're wayyyy better off just driving to the hoop or stepping back like 3 feet and taking a 3pt jumper

[white wasp]

The top 25 players in the nba being good at middy

Or the other 400 bums who suck

Relative to them

[edgy sable]

mid range is a lot about shot creation, nobody spots up for a jumpshot inside the 3 point line

so i guess if you can’t create space effectively to get your shot off then yeah it’s a bad shot

[little harbor]

But most of 2k just be replicas of top nba players sooo I feel like the middys definitely just underused in 2k

[white wasp]

I run pick and pop all the time with my big in the mid

It opens up so much

Especially now that u can shoot over smaller players

[tired prism]

I'm starting a big build I normally play as a guard

[edgy sable]

it can be a real bail out of a shot in a pinch

[tired prism]

And I havent done much mycareer recently so I hope it goes well but so far its frustrating

[little harbor]

I have 4 builds 💀

[tired prism]

Because it feels like I never touch the ball

[little harbor]

99, 97, 94, 60

[edgy sable]

unless it’s a point forward being a big is a tough life

i love it when my guards include me in the offense

[tired prism]

I'm running a Giannis lite

[little harbor]

Nah being big man in rec is fun as hl

[mossy nexus]

i feel this

[edgy sable]

but when they don’t then you really are just doing cardio and grabbing boards

[mossy nexus]

i made a ad build but on the defensive end it’s fun

[tired prism]

Power forward, big wingspan, good defense, ball handle

[mossy nexus]

and whenever they let me post up etc

[edgy sable]

with an unselfish guard/facilitator yeah dude it’s amazing

[tired prism]

I don't know much about builds but I really like this one so far

[little harbor]

Absolutely and that’s hard to find

[lyric venture]

Can someone help me get to 99 overall? I’m a 84 overall

[tired prism]

Thats me. I normally just shoot open 3s or pass to an open slasher, shooter or mismatched big

[little harbor]

I’ve had games with decent teammates ended up having most points rebounds and blocks easy

[edgy sable]

always make sure to friend the good ones

[lyric venture]

Nobody ok

[tired prism]

I almost never get assists though because it feels like people go out of their way to avoid letting you get an assist

[tired prism]

Sell your kidney

[edgy sable]

play for you???

or just tips

[lyric venture]

Play with me

[edgy sable]

ohhhh

[lyric venture]

Or give tips

Which one you want

[edgy sable]

what build r u

[lyric venture]

Shot creator

[edgy sable]

what console

[white wasp]

Next year im gonna try and limit to 2 builds

[lyric venture]

Ps5

[white wasp]

A guard who can play 1-3

And a center

[edgy sable]

im on old gen xbox 🥲

[lyric venture]

Oh

Ok

[edgy sable]

mb

[tired prism]

If VC doesn't get any better I'm gonna do one build

[lyric venture]

It’s alright

[tired prism]

I have 2 but my first build I had no clue what I was doing so its awful

[white wasp]

Vc will probably get worse

[edgy sable]

i’m sure there are people in this server looking for a guard to run with so don’t stress

[little harbor]

I did the same thing this year but got too tempted by some of the builds others ran but didn’t work for me so I stick to the 2 original ones

[tired prism]

I still don't know how to make builds very well but it was worse when I started

[edgy sable]

ik pack prices have gotten more expensive

[white wasp]

If our builds get more attributes than it will cost more to upgrade

[lyric venture]

Ok

[white wasp]

Im fine with that tbh

[lyric venture]

Ok

[tepid ether]

Is there anyone whos able to rate my build id have to dm it to you though because im not a high enough server level to post it in here

[edgy sable]

lots of good youtube videos out there to base your build on - find something you like and mold it to what you want

[white wasp]

I'll rate it

[edgy sable]

sure

[little harbor]

I only started to feel it when I made my second or third build because the quests take forever but they give a decent amount of vc if you can’t flat out buy it

[tired prism]

I'm looking for a guard, he needs to never pass the ball, dribble till he gets stripped or uses all his stamina then jacks up a contested 25 ft 3 as the shot clock expires

[white wasp]

😭

[tired prism]

Oh wait every rec team already has one

[white wasp]

Dude i hate playing PG with randoms

[little harbor]

💀

[white wasp]

Its so unbearable

[edgy sable]

lmao

[tired prism]

I looked up some YT videos I think I have an alright one now

[white wasp]

Like bro

People play this game on auto pilot

[edgy sable]

uncle demi is really good for real life player builds btw

[tired prism]

I think I watched his giannis build

[white wasp]

Im still mad about the game where i had 12 5 and 15, held my man to zero points and we still lost

[edgy sable]

idk if dignify2k still posts builds but he has some fun ones

[white wasp]

Ngl i hate the youtuber builds

They all give me like

Hypebeast vibes

Supreme

Do it all hall be fire though

[little harbor]

Bro I had 22, 21 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals my team still managed to mess it up and lose

[edgy sable]

well i’d rather learn how to make a build called a dynamic offensive force pg than a playshot

[white wasp]

40 30 and 6 game just to win by a last second basket

The embiid system

[little harbor]

💀

[tired prism]

Lmao

[white wasp]

I actually think i screenshotted jt

[little harbor]

Only won by last second this year once

[tired prism]

Next year I'll make a 3nD wing or a luka build

But its just too much to handle more than one build for me

[white wasp]

Im gonna start off as a big because they easy to level up

[edgy sable]

making a 3nd player will make people want to play with you, especially if you get to a good overall

[white wasp]

Stat stuffers

[little harbor]

I ran games with someone who used 3nD thought the build was 🗑️ till someone who knew how to use it changed my mind

[tired prism]

Hopefully there are multiple good Size/Attribute/Badge combinations. All people run is 6'9 I refuse to conform

[edgy sable]

it’s just a plug and play build - can run with anyone whether it’s 3s or rec

[tired prism]

Yeah that was my thought, its a winning playstyle

[weak nest]

I’m pumped for season 5

[edgy sable]

facts

[little harbor]

Everyone 6’9 this year lameeeeee

[edgy sable]

i use a 6’11 diming inside the arc scorer

[weak nest]

Same

[worn flare]

What up

[little harbor]

My favorite builds height are a 6’4 and 7’0

[weak nest]

Sup

[white wasp]

I like the 7ft2 builds

7ft3 is useless

[proper edge]

Im a 6’10 lock

[worn flare]

Sitting in class. How yall today

[edgy sable]

wild how there’s that much of a difference

[flint fable]

Can anyone help me, when I press options it does not show the option to play next game, and I do not know how to continue playing

[white wasp]

That 8ft wingspan is such a huge difference

My 2nd center was 7ft1 with a 7ft10 wingspan

[proper edge]

but ima grind my 7’3

[white wasp]

And bro it feels insane

[proper edge]

Shot creating post

[edgy sable]

im not sure what you mean sorry

[tired prism]

My new build is 6'10 with 7'8 wingspan, 77 ball handle, 70 speed with ball

Pretty good for that wingspan imo

But idk

[white wasp]

What position

[tired prism]

PF

[little harbor]

You probably have to do a quest before your next game

[tepid ether]

Ive dmed you my build legiannis and nike pluto

[edgy sable]

sounds real nice

[true marsh]

what’s up fam

[little harbor]

Send it here too I wanna see

[tired prism]

I hope so

[little harbor]

👀

[tepid ether]

I cant im not a high enough server level

Ill dm it to you if you want

[white wasp]

I wish power forward got more love with randoms

[little harbor]

Not here here

Dm

Lol

[white wasp]

Usually only usable with a squad

With randoms they just favor the center over u

[little harbor]

Will any of my coins roll over to next season

[white wasp]

Which is insane because the center hardly even touches the ball until he proves hes decent

Nope

[tired prism]

I imagine I'll end up playing C a lot in Rec😒

[little harbor]

There’s no wayyyyy

Welp

[white wasp]

Well u got defence right

Should be fine 🤣

[tired prism]

93 interior, 93 block

[little harbor]

I have 2 120 coins, 2 60 min and 3 30 min

Big rip

[tired prism]

7'8 wingspan

[little harbor]

Dm

[flint fable]

thx bro

[tired prism]

Is that good enough for defense at C in rec?

[tepid ether]

I have

[little harbor]

I had to accept it my bad

[white wasp]

Yeah

My first build was 6ft10 center

He was usable

[tired prism]

89 strength, 87 post control, 77 handle, 93 driving dunk, 70 speed with ball

Its close I could get to Giannis

Downside is I have absolutely no shooting but I kinda suck at shooting anyway

[little harbor]

My big man got a 80 3ptr

[tired prism]

Shooting attributes are only high enough for me to have 65 FT because thats enough for me to hit 90%. Nobody in Rec can hit FTs I don't wanna be that guy

[weak nest]

My first build was a PF

[white wasp]

Man they need to add a unicorn name for centers

[tired prism]

They need to let your choose your secondary position

[weak nest]

Facts

[proper edge]

He posts almost everyday lol

[tired prism]

I wish I could be PF/SF. I almost chose SF just so I could be SF/PF

[white wasp]

Yes bro a secondary position would be so cool

[little harbor]

What’s the shortest height Center should be in rec in yall opinion

[weak nest]

That was mine

[white wasp]

Of course within reason

[white wasp]

6ft9

[tired prism]

People in Rec also have no idea how to use screens

[proper edge]

A 6’9 center is wild

[little harbor]

Doesn’t it put you at a disadvantage

[proper edge]

Yes I made that mistake in 2k20

[white wasp]

6ft9s usually are really good players or really bad

No inbetween

A good 6ft9 center is hard to guard

[proper edge]

Go 6’9 for another position

[tired prism]

I can have gold brick wall but its not gonna be much use

[white wasp]

They usually run with a squad though

[white wasp]

What would a center be able to play

[little harbor]

With that though you gotta have another big man with you fs

[white wasp]

Just pf?

[tired prism]

People who use 6'9s are always complete tryhards

[white wasp]

6ft9s give u the speed of guards with the size of bigs

[tired prism]

Probably, but in today's positionless Basketball they might should allow us to have an optional tertiary position

[little harbor]

Meh I’d scratch off size of bigs. Speed is definitely what Carries it but size you get shut down most times in paint

[white wasp]

If we can make wembanyama builds i see a 7ft2 small forward coming in

Bol bol

[proper edge]

Me and lol this my build too

Thank you

[white wasp]

Ngl I'd love to play SF on my center

I could make it work 🙏

[tired prism]

Yes 6'9s are either people who completely suck and think it can overcome their skill issue cause they Googled a build or pros trying to completely maximize their build

No in-between

They'll both shoot 20 3s a game

One will make 15, other will make 2.

[little harbor]

Facts tho

[safe prawn]

can't wait for season 5

[white wasp]

Yall think center height should be increased?

[little harbor]

Not too sure bout 6’9 center tho

[tired prism]

My first build is fun to use online sometimes

[austere portal]

how do i get the mystery player

[little harbor]

I feel like 6’10 should be the min

[austere portal]

for the westbrook completion

[tired prism]

Its a terribly built 5'11, I stopped upgrading it once I realized so its only a 73 overall

[safe prawn]

I don't want multiple builds so I'm trying to not make multiple lol

[little harbor]

Imagine having 4 💀

[tired prism]

But sometimes people think that means they don't have to guard me and sometimes I score way more points than I have right to lol

[safe prawn]

I have one which is a 6'1 playshot

[proper edge]

Yea but cap it to 7’6 ig

[safe prawn]

everybody I've ever seen in park is a 6'6

[white wasp]

Bro I just want a boban dunk package

[little harbor]

I was playing around with this 5’7 build for fun and the mf poked the ball outa everyone’s hand

[hollow glade]

they're all mainly those goofy ahh kd builds

[tired prism]

7'4 cap with huge attribute and badge nerfs

[white wasp]

They already added hanging to the rim, i wanna hang from the rim and stand like a monster

With my feet on the ground

[safe prawn]

6'6 demi god drippy face scan 💯💯💯

[tired prism]

Look at how op Yao is in myteam

[white wasp]

Let us make victor wembanyama

🙏

[tired prism]

Kid hasn't even played in the NBA how can you know he'll be good

[safe prawn]

imagine slashing take on a 5'9

[proper edge]

Lol who would make a kd build at 6’6

[white wasp]

Think about it bro we have 6ft9 demigods who can guard 1-5. Free the bigmen

[white wasp]

Porzingis, bol bol

[tired prism]

Nerf 6'9

[white wasp]

Yao ming

[tired prism]

Bol bol was eh

[orchid salmon]

Anyone know what the 38 gb update was for today?

[white wasp]

Bol bol is very tough

[proper edge]

#nba2k-news

[tired prism]

Kristaps is 7'3 and Yao got hurt all the time like all people that tall

[proper edge]

Bol bol 7’2

[tired prism]

Height and wingspan are just too op in the game

[safe prawn]

I wish 2k let me make a 4'11 my player LOL

[proper edge]

Season 5 lookin way better than this season 😭

[white wasp]

Unicorns we need em

[glacial moth]

I'll hit you up when I'm ready bro

[tired prism]

People use Tacko fall in mytean even though his card sucks just because how op it is

[safe prawn]

FRR I'm tryna hop off the boat 😭😭

[edgy sable]

as a myteam player that name makes me want to uninstall

[white wasp]

Bro they already let us get over 8ft wingspans

Actually all of our builds wingspans are ridiculous

[proper edge]

ong

[proper edge]

Bet

[white wasp]

6ft2 with a 6ft10 wingspan, 6ft9 with a 7ft6 wingspan

[glacial moth]

I also got an allen iverson build

[white wasp]

7ft2 with an 8ft wingspan

Insanity

[cerulean zinc]

i cant play in 2k this is dont work for me

[safe prawn]

I wish current gen had a city like the 2k21 city because it was able to run it fine lower quality

[white wasp]

I forgot current was on a boat

[edgy sable]

current gen max wingspan is like 8’1 i believe? correct me if im wrong

[tired prism]

8ft wingspan should be max

[safe prawn]

I would rather a lower quality city than the boat it's so bad bro

[proper edge]

Current gen only able to handle a neighborhood

City too much

[tired prism]

I'd be cool with offline only builds that let you make 7'7 Centers tho

[white wasp]

The only players with 8ft wingspan are like 7ft4 and higher

[safe prawn]

2k21 city was fire as hell

[white wasp]

We get em with 7ft2s

[edgy sable]

my xbox be heating my whole house just tryna run 3’s

[white wasp]

And 3s

[proper edge]

😭

[white wasp]

We are freaks in length

[white wasp]

These would be unusable

You'd have a 10 speed

[proper edge]

Yea long winspan builds are broken

[tired prism]

My 6'10 has 7'8 wingspan lol but it is a Giannis build

[safe prawn]

current gen could handle a city if it looked like toaster quality

[white wasp]

Dude giannis wingspan is only 7ft5

[glacial moth]

If any of yall are on current gen xbox who's tryna run rec later too???

[tired prism]

I think Giannis irl is like 6'11-7'0 with a 7'7 span

[edgy sable]

you sit in the lane and spam steal button for easy 3 steals a game

[proper edge]

Ong lol

[white wasp]

U can get a 7ft4 wingspan on a 6ft7

😭

[safe prawn]

2k21 didn't look that bad and the city went crazy

[proper edge]

I hate rec but i dont mind

[tired prism]

But thats what they get for not letting my build be as good as giannis

[white wasp]

Giannis is now listed at 7ft

[edgy sable]

i mean people like kawhi and og have that kinda height and wingspan combo

[glacial moth]

Hey dude, 1000 vc per game or more if we do good. It'd be easier with 5 ppl in the same party too you feel me?

[proper edge]

True

[tired prism]

Have to find advantages somewhere. Also all the people online are running 6'9s with 7'7 a 7'5 span wouldn't feel like playing with giannis

[proper edge]

Current or next

[hollow glade]

i love how every time i do a suggestion it says an error occured 😊

[white wasp]

Og is 7ft2 kawhi 7ft3 so even then we still giving an inch

[glacial moth]

If you guys wanna play rec with me and music just let us know then we'll run a team

[edgy sable]

yeah but at that point it’s negligible imo

[white wasp]

In basketball an inch is important

😎

[edgy sable]

🤨

[glacial moth]

Pause

[proper edge]

Lol

[woeful topaz]

Amagine 10ft giannis in the game 😂

[white wasp]

Plus the fact we get monkey arms and can be curry shooters

[weak nest]

Bro

[glacial moth]

Bro said 10ft 😭😭

[white wasp]

The na'vi build

[weak nest]

Wait is today the 23rd

[white wasp]

22nd

[glacial moth]

Giannis would be the same height as the mf backboard

[woeful topaz]

🤦‍♂️

[edgy sable]

i think on PC versions of like 2k21 you could do that kinda stuff?

[woeful topaz]

This 2k mid

[edgy sable]

mods and stuff

[proper edge]

2k21 next gen was fun for me

more than 22

[weak nest]

Yea

Same here

[glacial moth]

2k21 next gen was something else bruj

[edgy sable]

22 was horrendous

[white wasp]

21 was mid for me

[glacial moth]

I only played next gen 21 once on a ps5 and it was soooo smooth bro

[proper edge]

cuz it was a new experience to have a city

Next gen 21

[glacial moth]

22 was actually pretty good but then again that's when they put us on a boat

[white wasp]

What 2k was it where interior d didn't matter?

Like at all

People were making centers with 25

[edgy sable]

21?

[woeful topaz]

What y’all overall in my career

[weak nest]

Anyone got all star trey Murphy

[proper edge]

I had a 6’11 kd build i think in 21

[white wasp]

I think it was 21

I skipped that 2k

[glacial moth]

This game sells me bro I have like 85 interior d and anchor 75 block and I keep getting dunked on 😂😂😂

[edgy sable]

yeah he’s a decent budget sf

[white wasp]

Yeah with zion on the cover

[glacial moth]

92

[proper edge]

6’11 with hof chasedown and intimidator

[white wasp]

Yeah bro

[proper edge]

Idk what i made bruh

lol

[white wasp]

They definitely tweaked blocking recovery

[glacial moth]

Fr bro

[edgy sable]

exactly interior d is a joke even after the patch - dunks are broken offense

[woeful topaz]

This game kinda rigged

[glacial moth]

Thats what I'm saying bruhhh

[edgy sable]

idk if the dunk stick made the game better or worse

[white wasp]

My 7ft2 will swing his ape arms and smack the net

Like bro get your head to the rim and kill that shot

[glacial moth]

And remember games like 2k16 and 2k20? They actually put a storyline and effort into mycareer

2k20 you could block a little kid 💀💀💀

[proper edge]

6’10 lock good in this game idk why ppl dont make it that much

[edgy sable]

i remember vic van lier man

[proper edge]

feels like 2k19

[glacial moth]

Car accident broo

Nah but fr they put so much effort in to it

[woeful topaz]

Oh no

[glacial moth]

Now next gen is getting city's n shi but current gen gotta play ball on water

[edgy sable]

dion waiters voice acting was oscar worthy

[safe prawn]

on god

[glacial moth]

What if this was real and the ball went over board and fell into the water? 💀💀💀

[edgy sable]

game over

[woeful topaz]

I just pulled a dark matter Lebron

[safe prawn]

the only fun part is the galleon

[edgy sable]

no way

[safe prawn]

1v1s are crwzy

[woeful topaz]

Actually

[edgy sable]

aint no way

[glacial moth]

I got a sapphire player from the all star pack lmao

[proper edge]

stage 1s sweaty as hell i be tryna win

in current

[glacial moth]

Fr bro my hands are always dripping in sweat lmao

[edgy sable]

i got sabonis 🥲

[proper edge]

Some guard had rim take against me

Smh

[woeful topaz]

😝

[proper edge]

And i was about to win

[glacial moth]

It's so hard to time the meter online tho is it just me? Especially the dunk meter

I can only dunk if I have take or if the defenders defense is booty cheeks

[edgy sable]

the timing is different with every dunk i think

[proper edge]

Its hard to time for me only cuz i dont go for contacts

[woeful topaz]

Kevin Durant needs a dark matter

[white wasp]

I use meter

[woeful topaz]

Same

[white wasp]

Its just fast asl

For dunks

[glacial moth]

I do I got a 97 driving dunk with 8 animations 😂😂

[edgy sable]

he just got an elite opal man what more can they give him without him being godly

they won’t before the 250k tourney

[woeful topaz]

Yea

But

It Kevin Durant

My guy

[glacial moth]

The baldspot guy

[white wasp]

Oh yeah i like how theres a bigman dunk that our myplayers cant get

[glacial moth]

Bro is balding

[white wasp]

Like why

[edgy sable]

ohhh true yeah nvm you right

[woeful topaz]

He left me to go to suns

[glacial moth]

Mine does I got elite bigman contact dunks

[white wasp]

No like its a tomahawk animation

Its literally not in the store

[glacial moth]

Is it not?

Tf

[white wasp]

If you go to 2ku and shoot around with bol bol or porzingis

[edgy sable]

maybe they’ll release it in a future season?

[proper edge]

😭

[white wasp]

They'll do a dunk where they get their head to the rim

[edgy sable]

i noticed there are a few anis i like in myteam that aren’t in park yet

[white wasp]

I've sat and watch all the bigman dunks and none of them have that

[glacial moth]

My 3pt rn is a 71, but I can green with it you don't have to worry. After about idk maybe 12 jump shots I found the one 😂😂😂😂

[edgy sable]

jokic hop jumper(or stepback) is cracked idk which one it is but he has a really cool one

[glacial moth]

Also use devin booker fade from what I've heard its the best fade in the game 🤷‍♂️

[edgy sable]

using it fading to the corner is a bailout

[white wasp]

I use kobe

[edgy sable]

haven’t used it myself but some people can absolutely cook with booker

[toxic edge]

Y’all ever play 2k and get 12 to as a team cwuse the game doesn’t let you catch the ball

Anyone else ever play rec and jus get matched up with the shitiest teammates or is that jus me

[proper edge]

Bet

im def grinding for that motorcycle

[toxic edge]

Played 3 games inna row and all my teammates shot 25% while I shot 65%

Other team shot 80% together

Matchmaking is garbage

Why am I a 83 facing 99 ovr because it’s 11:30 at night

What even is that

Why was matchmaking and gameplay better in 16-17

[little harbor]

Rip

[edgy sable]

not sure when they started sbmm but i know it’s stupidly done in myteam

like if you’re blowing out an opponent who’s not very good and they’re not going to quit then ik it’s pretty common to let them score to decrease the lead so you don’t get put into a higher sbmm bracket

[little harbor]

Good team beats full 99 lobby 🤷🏻‍♂️

[toxic edge]

I’m an 82

[little harbor]

Bad team everyone leaves right away

I’ve seen 67s in rec destroy 99 overalls bc they knew what they are doing

No funny stuff

[edgy sable]

67 overall but it might be their 3rd build

[little harbor]

Obviously

[toxic edge]

Either way when you’re a 99 compared to an 80 they have a huge advantage whether you play smart or not

[little harbor]

Man’s had only upgrades on defense though and he was cooking

🤷🏻‍♂️

[toxic edge]

Why isn’t matchmaking based on team ovr

[edgy sable]

idk what it’s based on for rec

[toxic edge]

And they get rid of this 92 and under rec thing

[edgy sable]

it seems so random

[little harbor]

Quicker games probably why

[toxic edge]

It is

[edgy sable]

probably yeah

[toxic edge]

11pm-11am you can face any ovr

[little harbor]

The other night 3 times in a row got AI on my team just so they force me in a game

[edgy sable]

lucky to find a game during those times

[little harbor]

Force quit app all good

[toxic edge]

And that jus shows how bad the game is

Lucky to find a game at 11pm

[edgy sable]

yeah and whats up with getting like 3 ais on my team

[toxic edge]

I’d play til 3 and play all night no problem

[little harbor]

So it’s not only me

[edgy sable]

played a game where it was me at c and this other guy at pf

the rest were bloody ai

[little harbor]

I was tight ash

[toxic edge]

As a community we needa tell 2k to make a good game

[edgy sable]

we got pumped but i got a triple double so we move

[toxic edge]

Yk 2k is making fifa next year

[little harbor]

Bruh and the two actual people on my team left

[toxic edge]

Games gonna be TRASSHHH

[edgy sable]

wait what

[toxic edge]

Yup

[little harbor]

I held off the team by myself for 3 quarters but they paint clogged

And won

[toxic edge]

So instead of then jus focusing on basketball

Now they got soccer too

[little harbor]

Ai wasn’t terrible but wasn’t enough

[slim trout]

tf bro 38 gb

[little harbor]

🤣

[toxic edge]

They can’t make basketball right and now they making soccer

[open pilot]

#szn5🤔

[edgy sable]

we need ea to drop nba live 24

[little harbor]

NBA live was dope

[edgy sable]

literally

[little harbor]

BROOOO

[edgy sable]

bro capped too much

[little harbor]

Who wants shoes as level 30 reward 🤦🏻‍♂️

[edgy sable]

not me personally

[little harbor]

It’s basic clothing this season and I’m type pissed

[edgy sable]

what about them giving us a few thousand vc for level 30

that could be cool

[little harbor]

Atleast spice up the lvl 40 nah we need another vehicle in this game

🤣💀

[edgy sable]

doesn’t need to be like 50k

what would you rather have as lvl 40

[little harbor]

Like I said before they could’ve done the different core badges again would’ve been a banger… vc, another fast travel mechanism, anything other then another vehicle 🤣

That’s just my opinion though 🤷🏻‍♂️

[surreal crest]

Another vehicle to be slower than anything as well

the drone moves so slow. by the time you get to your destination you could've walked there in half the amount

[glacial moth]

Anybody else on current gen xbox ??

[surreal crest]

could've done a cool costume, or clothes set, badge patterns, or something unique

[oblique reef]

Yo me personally I would like them to add a dirt bike just saying

[little harbor]

Exactly what I’m saying

[proper edge]

nah motorcycle valid

better than the drone

[oblique reef]

But yeah I play on current gen Xbox

[little harbor]

Not the only one who thinks they fumbled the bag this season

[proper edge]

me too

I dont mind motorcycle still

lowkey want the tiger tho

Who else saw the glitch on current gen

[glacial moth]

Ayeee tryna run it up with me and music??

[little harbor]

Tiger would’ve been dope

[glacial moth]

The one where ppl played 3v3 in the promenade? 💀💀

[proper edge]

Nah its better than the current season

[proper edge]

No tiger glitch as level 40 for season 4

And then they fixed it

[glacial moth]

They did that?!

Wth I didn't know

[little harbor]

Nah I didn’t see it

[proper edge]

ye when it dropped

It showed the tiger

[glacial moth]

Probably gonna be a tiger for s5

If they did that

[exotic terrace]

Yon

Need a team

[proper edge]

s6

[little harbor]

I dunno I just think it’s too plain this season tbh

[proper edge]

hopefully

We do have alot of transportation rewards

need mascot or pet

[exotic terrace]

Join stage room vc

[glacial moth]

I can't believe they put skeletons in the store man

[little harbor]

You’re definitely right in some aspects it’s better then the one we’re in rn

But they could do better

[proper edge]

True

[proper edge]

Lol i copped

[glacial moth]

Lmaoooo

[little harbor]

How much 💀

[proper edge]

never had 1 before

[glacial moth]

35 to 50k vc

[proper edge]

I bought the shiny silver one

[glacial moth]

I'm just broke lmao

[proper edge]

But it came out as the regular white default

💀

[exotic terrace]

Join lfg2 vc

[little harbor]

Rip I just wasted like 20k vc I could’ve got skeleton

[proper edge]

Rip

[glacial moth]

I got 20k vc but i ain't spending it ona skeleton

[little harbor]

It’s okay I have a bicycle💀

[proper edge]

I slept on this game till season 3

I missed out on the jetski

[glacial moth]

Ppl in this game are so annoying. I just went against a 97ovr with my 75 ovr and this guy is tryharding so bad lmao

[proper edge]

yea on my guard ppl be rim running me

[glacial moth]

Fr bro rim running everywhere

[proper edge]

Cuz im 6’2

[exotic terrace]

Yo

[little harbor]

Rough

[glacial moth]

I only rim run if I'm heavily contested from three you feel me

[exotic terrace]

Why yell don't join vc

[oblique reef]

I’m 64

[glacial moth]

Do not spend money on the game or buy clothes

Follow my advice

Play alot of my career

[proper edge]

^

[little harbor]

^^^

I was telling that to someone in dms Earlier

[oblique reef]

I meant I am 6’4

[glacial moth]

Oh lmao

Well still

I get 2.5k each my career game

Easy stacks

[oblique reef]

Dang

[little harbor]

Beginners don’t realize how much vc you actually get doing quests and grinding career

Easy 90 overall minimum

[glacial moth]

0 incentives and 6.5k vc is the best thing to do when your getting partnership's

[little harbor]

Especially with the endorsements

[glacial moth]

I got 20k vc from the pursers today

[glacial moth]

Exactly

[little harbor]

That’s how I have 3 90+ builds I put some money in the game but no where nearly as other people

100$ a build is crazy

When you spend 70 on the game already

[granite totem]

My team is over 96 overall

[glacial moth]

I only spent £15 on the game so far

[little harbor]

Sheeeesh

[glacial moth]

And I'm a 92 ovr

[oblique reef]

I spent nothing so far

[granite totem]

How do you spell 190 I think

How much money have you guys been? I’ve spent 190 sorry.

[little harbor]

Over the course of the game 100$ ngl but no more bc I have my 2 builds that I’m used too

[glacial moth]

.

[olive pawn]

yo

[fiery crescent]

Eeeeeeee

Eeeee

Wsg

[little harbor]

Listen I was too impatient to grind that center to 93 atleast so dumped some vc into him

[broken sparrow]

Where I can find a teammate that can help me h#get to 90?

I’m already 87 but ppl don’t want to play with me for my lvl

[little harbor]

Now he’s a 97 can be 99 but costs too much like 60k

[fiery crescent]

Who trying to play

[oblique reef]

Anybody have above a 88 three point shot

[proper edge]

anyone tryna run? west server tho

[little harbor]

Pg has 99 3 for fun

[night cloak]

Dm me if you want in the league. 12 spots left. On ball. Fantasy draft. HMU for link

[glacial moth]

[night cloak]

Dm me if you want in the league. 12 spots left. On ball. Fantasy draft. HMU for link. Ps5
