Matchmaking in Rec is awful.

Re: Matchmaking in Rec is awful.

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

Oh no.......this is great suspended season/off season fun.

But I will ease up on that being my main goal when I play.

Once I reach 20 ppg, I will ease up on trying to score once I reach 20 points in a game. I will pass/set up more instead of trying to score 20, 25, 30, 40 etc.....

Re: Matchmaking in Rec is awful.

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.

With only 1 shooting badge it might be tough to get the timing down.

I was decent from midrange with Quick Draw Bronze but i was only using a base jumper. I made another build 6'9 same as first but got 3 shooting badges, boosting, with a custom Jumper and Quick Draw Gold and was much better from outside. I never did get the hang of his 3s even from the corner. But it's a fun build.

Re: Matchmaking in Rec is awful.

I threw my one shooting badge on Volume Shooter.

I think volume shooter is tiered

Bronze is a lower volume of shots but on a non jump shooting build you could use it on better badges imo.

Slippery off ball for a slashing big is underrated

Hot zone hunter if you gonna be shooting and actually have hot zones or range extender

I say that because all those badges, in that order, ALWAYS pop up. (Off ball being manually triggered)

Yeah...

I'm going to stop playing with people who wear shiny shoes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I SWEAR 99% of them are straight up ballhogs.

Re: Matchmaking in Rec is awful.

Had to send some hate mail today. Went against a team that played 5 Out and Zone defense. I knew within the first minute we were gonna lose. Everybody quit at the half except me and some other guy.

Told em to send me their Pro Am stats and they were 59-2 with Silver Pro 2 stars. That alone tells you they're not good enough for real competition so they beat up on randoms noobs though.

If 2k made it to where a full squad can't enter, say 4 max, this would make Rec 10 times better. This would mean you and your friends can still squad up, but you wouldn't have to face sweaty tryhards. Otherwise it should be squad vs squad. I don't mind losing but purposely playing zone and 5 Out is scumbag BS.

Re: Matchmaking in Rec is awful.

Well, some good news.......

I’ve got my guy to 18.5 ppg. The road to 20 ppg is nearing ......

I'm trying to work my center up. I went from 9.7ppg to 11.7ppg very slowly. If I can get 15ppg I'd be happy.

With 5 minute quarters 15 is equivalent to 25. 18.5 is like 30 which is good imo. If somebody scored 20 on me if be pretty mad. I try to keep my opponents below 10, anything above is disappointing

Good luck man. Just keep grinding.

I stalled at 19.5 for a few nights but got my ppg to 19.7 tonight.

I’m literally one game away....

Yeah I can't believe people will run 5-out in REC against randoms. I mean I guess if you were trying out a new lineup/PG, but still it certainly is not the most efficient way to prepare for team Pro-AM. 5-Out is terribly boring for 80% of the team, so on the occasion my pro-am team does run rec (usually to test out a new lineup/builds) we definitely don't run 5-Out. The only reason to run 5-Out is in comp games where the opposing team is running a zone (because due to 2ks unrealistic ability for players to cover long distances/intimidator/interceptor it can be one of the only viable ways to actually space the floor appropriately)

If they are 59-2, clearly they're good enough. How does that make sense in your head?

Re: Matchmaking in Rec is awful.

Say I’m on the white team in rec.

I have the white bar/semi circle under my player. What’s the blue part of the meter ?

Sometimes it’s on the right side of the meter, sometimes it’s in the middle of the meter? What is that ?

Idk about the middle... But i know when you have blue on your player it's extra stamina. You can get stamina boosts from the gatorade store or the wheel. You can also get the Gym Rat badge that gives you more stamina as well.
