2k23 The Rec

Re: 2k23 The Rec

Another vid I finally clipped. Was trying to break out my PF and DUNK ON SOME PEOPLE, but I got in a game at C vs a 7'3, people taking ridic shots and turning it over, not giving me anything except spot up 3s (I hate spot up 3s if I can't get involved on O first.) So was getting murdered on the boards by dude so I was already upset, and dudes finally give me the ball cuz dudes finally got what they deserved for not dumping the ball off to me, and I was laughing.



That's why you put 73 mid thoo. It's worth it. IMO it's almost essential. Unless your big is just a monster inside, but even then, it's good to have this as a change up for campers.

Re: 2k23 The Rec

I dunno why I post vids here HAHA. Cuz nobody else talks. Still, I got some from last night. I haven't been playing Rec lately because I feel nobody is even thinking anymore. It's legit THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. I rolled two teams of purples, though. Got 3 purples the first time then a guy left and a 4th purple came in. We were doing so well in the first game then the purple who came in started whining. It's amazing how ONE whiny dude can mess everything up. Dudes who don't know how to play without being involved in the offense kill me. No matter how good they are. There are plenty of mistakes that we all make, almost all the time, but when people start asking for the ball or whatever it throws the whole team off.

I admit I got kinda out of rhythm having to keep telling dude to chill, but we started out strong and in the end we stomped them, too. Still, their C was pretty good and I didn't have great rebounding opportunities ( game 2 ) he got me on some pretty nice takes, too. Game 1 I ended up with crazy rebs, but as the game was going down the wire (we were way up, but I was still playing) dude got me pinning and got a tip dunk that was pretty nasty. I had to pm him like nice tip man. He said gg and I said gg... told him you can't really control bums, and that's basically what it is, cuz like I said EVERY GAME IS THE FREAKING SAME. Always can steal outlets because nobody looks, they just hit last man back, then on the other end people always run to the corner to shoot. It's just rinse and repeat of that ALL GAME.



I really hope 2k24 is different. I actually felt like balling last night, and I came out like I was gonna do something. By the middle of game 2, I was bored and kinda annoyed at dude who kept whining. I became an outlet for his anger "BIG MAN WHY U IN THE WAY" It's like man I am trying to move places, too.. I'm trying to reb, you can dunk with me nearby. Sometimes, we end up in the same spot but then you swing the ball around. Blee.

Re: 2k23 The Rec

So, I admit I take a long time to make decisions and go back and forth. I also apologize for spamming this threads with vids. I’m gonna outline some things and maybe even make a yt vid about it if i feel energetic, but simply, I don’t think 2k is worth it any more. Not for competition. I’ve had beef with friends and everything, say what you want about me being wild ( I am,) but i also pride myself on being a peace maker. It occured to me it’s just 2k. It’s supposed to make people addicted and ragey. I love basketball, but it’s just not even about that any more. The game is toxic online, and I really hoped 2k could do something about it, but they won’t. It sucks to be a bball head and wanna queue up a game whenever and play 5v5, but outside of a very controlled environment, there is too much strife to even get a good game. I don’t even care about winning or playing well as much as i just want to play a game where all of the ten players play from start to finish like they would in normal basketball. Not talking about sim, either, i mean not purposefully mess up the game.

Much love dudes, i hope some of u guys enjoyed my vids cuz there really was some wild stuff in there. It has its moments, but im not gonna spend time reaching for them.

Peace n like i said i may drop a downfall of random culture on 2k vid at some point. If you guys have been playing since the inception of 5s as well as have played other team games competitively, you know how bad it is. Shoot, i even played nhl and i dont like hockey, but at least there were more games where everyone finished and didnt spaz out.
