2k23 The Rec

Re: 2k23 The Rec

Yeah guess I just had to learn the shot animation, I had my release timing Very Late plus I slowed the actual animation down and that's what got me started. I just sped up the animation and greened 4 in a row.

Re: 2k23 The Rec

Right now I'm 153-127 in the park. Some of those are 1v1. But My shooting splits are getting better. 49.5 from the floor and 29.2 from deep.

All my 3 hot zones are red now, been lighting it up in career too. Just gotta get the left and the right midrange hot and Imma be unstoppable

If next gen plays even halfway similar I'd be a GAWD in the rec. I just can tget games

Re: 2k23 The Rec

The community in the Rec is so toxic. Every once in awhile you’ll get some good random teammates but more often than not you’ll run into some just awful awful awful players with no semblance of an idea on how to play team ball, help on defense, etc.

2k has to change the amount of time that someone can stand idle, it’s more than half a quarter a guy can just stand still and not get booted. That’s crazy talk.

THEN on top of that there’s guys that’ll intentionally put their controller down and get the team “offensive player out of bounds” penalties for an entire quarter straight. Maybe instead of calling those turnovers, if a dude gets that twice he should be booted? Just an idea.

I generally like the mode and I don’t always have my full squad on, but more often than not when me and one or two others will hop in a Rec game, we’ll get some mind blowingly bad teammates.

You guys are lucky that there are such things, but it’s insane they put that on the whole team when someone is selling.

Love my boy but he and I are both hot headed in dif ways n he’ll not pass to people who don’t pass to him. Lost us a lot of gms and I was still at 60% w until I’ve just taken ten losses or so in a row. All doggy players on both teams, my boy wiln out when we could win if he’d just pass to the bums when they were wide open. My build is hard carries if people get out of the paint we will prol win regardless. I can and do defend a whole side of the perimeter and rim on breaks so all dudes have to do is be there on the other side.

I don’t have a j. I’m so happy to be able to play monster big finally that a j is zzz. I love the game play but not only is my team selling and we usually end up like 3v2v5 plus the other team selling and timing each other out. It’s really at the point where 2k needs to do something. They need 3s rec for one imo cuz fouls and it mite get these groups of 3 out of the pool. Still it’s unbearable. I can carry bums to a win unless we get v what is either a legit five or a legit 3 with teammates playing normal, but again, it’s not fun. It’s not basketball. I def am mad at taking Ls cuz dude won’t pass to people who deny him the ball and play buddy ball, but it’s like I’m getn high percentage of res if I’m there and people aren’t taking super insane shots and I’m gonna give it to u. Plus I get inbounder a lot. Giving it to the jacks who suck and are toxic when they are wide in corner is ez wins, but I understand why he doesn’t.

I told him we gotta get ps5 and he’s like prol not that diff. I was like it has to be haha. Then i just decided I’m not gonna put 800 or whatever down for p5, gm, Vc and regrind my dude for the chance at decent ball. Cuz while it prol is a little better, I bet it’s really bad. I’d rather play a gm vs people who are better than me and get clowned (hypothetical haha) if it’s two cohesive units. There is no way they can’t fix this w match making. The past few years been getting more dominant and back to decent w percentage (couple years bigs were so nerfed it was brutal. That was when I was rolling air it out players and tbh having fun even if I lost 55% of the time.) It’s just sad. And park is a lag fest plus I’m like 0-7 or something this year. Don’t wanna play 2s pick n roll sim and our 3rd is always so awful like I don’t even know how he navigated the menu to park.

Re: 2k23 The Rec

I'd take my shooting lumps over the course of the game in a rec setting. I think if I got about 4-5 shots in the current state of current gen I'd bet I'll hit 2. So my confidence has improved. It's just the wild inconsistency of the Park that's frustrating. Not only is every game mode a different timing. Every type of shot is a different timing. And THEN you factor in fatigue and contests.

Gonna work on the dunk meter today. I think that might save me. I've dabbled with it, doesn't seem very intuitive. And I can't stand that contacts don't trigger without it at all. But at least if I got that down I may get some more respect on my name. Got people who ran with me a ton last year acting like I'm the bubonic plague. It's cool... I remember everything.

Idk... I've been looking at maybe creating a pure shooting build. I've NEVER invested in a 90 rated shooting character in all my years dominating this game. Always felt like shot selection was my greatest attribute.

Re: 2k23 The Rec

Just got your guys patch from oct 5th. It's been unequipping my animations all day. I feel like shooting is even WORSE than yesterday too.

This is hands down my least favorite 2k.

[howardphillips214]

Re: 2k23 The Rec

Only took me 300 games to get my timing. Lol

Also helps I got a good PG today.

Now I can't miss.

Re: 2k23 The Rec

I'm a Very Late player. I like to see my wrist snap and hit them with the follow thru. I also had to pull my timing on the animation back. They had a neighborhood quest for 10 3s layups and dunks. I finished the 10 3s first and had to force myself to start driving. I been cooking in the park recently. Got my win percentage up to around 65. My three percentage is creeping above 32. It's funny because the way I built my character I have Defense as my first takeover with shooter as my secondary. If I miss the first 2 I'll really try and get some stops and with the accelerator perk if I get a block and a couple rebounds then it's napalm from deep. HOF Volume Shooter been working overtime for me. That and Green Machine Gold I know it's trouble. 1v1 I'm eating post scorers on defense. If they wanna shoot I crowd them till they drive and Chase down Gold it's a bad decision. When I'm on 3s I can skip pass from basket to basket but my half court passing is so slow I only get a 58 because I wanted points elsewhere. Regretting that but that's all. Tall enough to post, drop step and standing dunk if they sag off. If I'm playing Shot Creator Takeover I'm getting Lukas snatch back timing much better than my learners. I've hit some step back 3s in park when we're up stupid.

Changed my gamertag to "iH8finny" because I'm sure people can't stand this build. I see a lot of people that can shoot and dunk but didn't invest in defense. I've been letting my D set off my offense and it's tremendous. I put on some Meek Mill or Joyner Lucas and I just sit in the chair.

One thing I notice this year is I don't slide too much. This lets me play the elbows and the key. I do the same thing in career. If my player is on the wing I can sit on the elbow to react to the ball. It goes inside I drop down. They wanna spot up I can cover that entire side of the court. I feel like Ed Reed on defense flying all over the court. They really outside themselves on D it's never played this good. Idk how next gen is but if you just wanna wreck people on defense it's never been easier. Had a 4 block and 5 steal park game. I'd prolly say I'm averaging about 1.5 to 2 threes a game now where before I was lucky I got 1/5.

Re: 2k23 The Rec

Will 2k ever fix Rec ?? what do you think ? will we ever see a proper Rec center, with matchmaking, squads vs squads ??
It's a bit of a tragedy that they don't give a **** about Rec and how it works.
I would play 2k big time, it's just depressing the current state of things.

I come back from work, I want to go to Rec, I have no squad, I have 2 hours of free time, and there is literally a squad plague, I must restart the game 15 times and finally quit it for good.

Tbh, if Rec was fixed, damn i would play a lot this game. Not always i enjoy looking at phone inviting people, people quitting, i just wanna hop in and play, and this system is not providing it.

Huge plague of squads recently, just insta quit game is a must.

I don`t know what the hell is this ? is it really such a big issue to make a proper content for 5v5 ??? really ?
It would game more popular imo, more cash for 2k, i really don`t get it.
Rec is beyond pathetic currently.

Re: 2k23 The Rec

And of course today I wake up and I'm broke.

Lol I swear this game is trolling me.

I've gone like 3/30 this morning.

Everyone seen me last couple days splashing and they just started trusting me.

I've reset my animations, checked my settings, practiced in my gym. I'm cool in 1v1 again. I just don't get why it's so sporadic!

[howardphillips214]

Re: 2k23 The Rec

They reset my jumper. It was weird, it LOOKED right in the game. But when I went to mycourt it was doing a weird follow thru. So I went into shot creator, changed the base and all the releases to random and then went back in and set it to what I want and I green everything in mycourt again.

Thanks, 2k. I have to check every single animation down to the finite detail EVERY GAME.
