Matchmaking in Rec is awful.

Re: Matchmaking in Rec is awful.

I just made a 6’8PF, can’t wait to get destroyed by a 7ft C because 2k puts me at the 5

What kind of PF?

If you put Box Bronze on it helps tremendously.

Re: Matchmaking in Rec is awful.

Why make a SG when you can make a 6'6 PG with the same stats and more badges? Only reason to make a SG is because you want to play SF.

Likewise, why make a PF when %80 of the time you'll be put at C and be undersized? Instead just make a big SF with more badges than a PF since you'll be at PF %80 of the time.

Until 2K figures out a way to balance height, ratings and badges in a way that doesn't kill player's choice, this is the way it will be.

As far as keeping my man from scoring, a 7'3 is the hardest to guard. Butt keeping him off the glass isn't that big of a deal on defense. It's when they literally camp under the paint on offense when it's a problem.

Yup...I usually feast against undersized PFs slotted at the C spot.

Once you get all your badges he'll be an animal. Did you upgrade your shooting at all? Even a midrange will help unlock that build's savagery.

It really all depends on the build and what you want to do with it.

My main is a pg two way play

I just 99.9’d a 6’7” slashing play. I didn’t compare either at the other position first because the PG needs to line up at the 1 and the other SG needs to be 6’7” (and 9.5/10 times lines up at the 1)

Quick example.

I do agree about SFs to play PF, as is commonplace in the modern NBA.





BTW that 6’8” paint beast isn’t a bad build at all. I don’t like inside centers but it’s so athletic it makes up for it. I hear you can freak the badges and actually hit threes with it too

I only have one shooting badge.
I maxed out midrange and 3ball and a FT to 60

Yeah I maxed out midrange and 3ball.
That’s 64 and 49.
And then a bit in FT.
Only have one badge though. Doubting between QD and Corner.
I went for 3 playmaking instead so I can have gold quick step.

Only one badge prolly won’t drop consistently

Only one badge I wouldn’t waste on QD

Use base 38 or a set jumper.

If you can get hot zones use hot zone hunter if you can’t use range extender if it’s not working try corner specialist or catch and shoot.

But I’m not super confident any of those will work very well

If not, use it on ice in veins, slippery off ball, or the clutch shooter (not steady shooter)

Ice in veins will give you bonus to free throws in crunch time (when people foul non shooters)

Clutch is the same in theory I suppose. You get a random pass at the end of a quarter and chuck.


Slippery off ball would prolly be the best use fr

You can move faster off ball with the right stick and juke people for cuts and standing lobs and off screens in PnR.

Yeah it was insane how much I had to invest to get shooting badges.

I had to max out mid/3ball and FT, and still like 15 points more into fades before i started getting shooting badges.

In the end i decided they weren’t worth the investment.

I have a solid jumper that always worked well on another build with a 60ish 3ball, pretty consistent so I hope i can pull it off with that.

Most of the time I will try set screens on top and get the cut on the pick though.

I only need to hit one/two shots from the corner from time to time to keep the defence honest and the opposing big out the paint.
When the pg is good I can post up near the baseline in the midrange. The big man has to choose between collapsing or stay on me.
Giving the pg an easy lay or easy oop, if he knows what he’s doing

Hook shots and cross key are good alternatives to mid range shooting.

Cross key with ben simmons lay up is pretty lethal from midrange.
Slap pro touch as well and unless the big starts guarding you its a feast.

If you are wide open in the corner just move diagonally to the free throw line and trigger the lay up.
It should work.

With a 6’8 I didn’t feel like hook shots were gonna be a viable option, so I didn’t really max that out. It only went to 80 anyway

Are you planning to stop playing after you reach your milestone?

I threw my one shooting badge on Volume Shooter.
