true real life analogy. but it doesnt work in 2k because your record in 2k is completely linked to the other teammates you have. in real life. I can actually make my teammates better. I've won a many of real life game on the big dog court with little puppies skill wise. because I know how to make people play to their best abilities. in addition i was athletic enough, tall enough, strong enough to guard the best player on any opposing team. so if i can at least slow him down and we play a nice team game. we have a shot at winning a game. not so in 2k. because the little dogs hot dog way to much. due to their archetypes. if they have a pure shot or a shot playmaking build or a shot finisher build. good luck getting a pass from these types. 2k makes them having to dribble a ton to make their shots. since it makes you miss a lot of nice open catch and shoot mid range jumpers.(anyone ever notice how often you miss mid range shots at the freethrow line? insane. no matter the build.
so 2k is promoting over dribbling and dogging to some degree. which is why i stopped playing park 2 2k's ago. i step in every blue moon to check out a new mode(ruffles, dimes, etc.)
I have a nice losing record in the park for this vary reason. i dont even like to play in there with my friends because we aint the left right cheese sharps nor are we the dribble dribble shot creator types. but we know how to play the game and we're clearly above a lot of users when it comes to actual basketball iq. win or lose at 2k.
But every blue moon you get lucky. i just came out of a pro am game with friends. was about to call a night. and i saw the dunk courts up in the park. i said let me play one game so just in case the community wins i can win some vc too. So i hop on a circle. two other randeez hop on with me. i'm using one of my newer builds. i usually play with a big. but i got a SG/pure slasher. he was an 87 when i first started on the playground 2 nights ago.
so they put me at the guard spot since the other two are not guards. they're bigger.
we win the first one by a few points vs a team with much better records than us. then i say let me play one more that game went super fast and i got a lot of my points for it. we smash the 2nd team 21 - 0. and that team had a better record individually then we did and had 89's and 90's mixed in.
we played some really good teams and really bad teams and a mix of 92 overalls with a 70 or 60 something player sprinkled in there. we won like 12 game straight and people stop even trying. so i went to bed. ranked up a full bar almost from 87 to 88.
