Getting teamed up with good Randoms doesn't occur too often either. The game is a mess but I'd save myself the frustration by finding a decent squad that somewhat knows what they're doing. The experience this year is probably the worse it's been in quite some time. Same ish different day.
Brother... the subject is how these HOF badges effect the game, not how entering the Rec by yourself effects the game. It doesn't matter if your teammates are the stupidest of the stupid, a strategy like that, which is predicated on shots which are generally recognized to be "bad basketball," shouldn't be a viable strategy. Heck... you see this first hand at your average Y, bunch of average guys come up against an amazing dude, but the dude forces everything and his team loses anyway because they weren't playing smart basketball.

The issue is that the game rewards poor basketball over good basketball more often than not and the solution to that should be rewarding good basketball and punishing bad basketball. The better team will still win, who you're running with and whether or not you're winning the game is wholly irrelevant to the topic. Saving frustration is irrelevant to this topic, because the frustration is the topic. 2k is encouraging bad basketball which is the entire problem and topic of discussion.

And we've been experiencing this for years. It's a legitimate problem and we all know that but until it's fixed what can you do? 2k knows about the issues. The same complaints pop up every year especially since archetypes have been introduced to the game. I think it's time to start blaming the devs more than the community itself. I'm just stating alternatives to help people out. Some folks are gonna let this game run their blood pressure sky high.

It's pretty much stamped how this game is going to be played the next 9 months until 2k21 drops. There are no patches coming that's going to fix the issues. It sucks but you just gotta accept the fact at this point. I pray most don't have their expectations super high for the next installment either because with what the devs are throwing in this game, the lack of testing, and this community, the experience will be ruined quick as hell.

We've been catching a lot of Full 5's in JRC the last couple of days and the games haven't been competitive whatsoever. You're gonna have to find a decent squad to have a chance in JRC with the current matchmaking. Randoms aren't going to cut it.
I do both - I run with different squads but if they ain't on or I don't have time/patience or just to grind a player I'll run solo, 'cause vs cpu is boring af. But point is the same - game is arcade and needs to be fixed. That's why the meta consistently stays the same. Also the more noise the community makes, the more likely it *may* get fixed.

its insane to think that we have to share the same gym floor with these players. i'm not mad at you for wanting what you want out of your $60 . i'm mad at 2k for not separating us. its not hard at all. two modes. SIM/Arcade. we should not be forced to play one another or play together. its unfair for both camps.

It's the equivalent of giving a 35 year old grown man a 21 year old roommate. odds are that wont work out so well MOST times for either age group involved. the 35 yr old will be constantly complaining about the 21 year old's loud music, friends over late at night etc. and vice versa. 21 yr old is like why this old dude always on my helmet about something that young people are supposed to be doing and when is he going to ever leave the house. lol.

you notice in college they dont put freshmen in the same dorms as juniors and seniors. they put them with other freshmen. why the hell do i have to deal with dribble gawds and fade away deep range green release shooters in my rec gym? take that ish over there.

Shooting feels like 2k19 right now. Seeing guys with ratings in the high 40’s and low50’s shoot 40% wide open.

Guys with no badges greening contested shots lol. What did they do for the holidays

Noticed this as well in both Park and Rec. The Steph Curry effect ruined 2K's shooting lol. What irks me the most are these 40 ft off the dribble greens. Like Steph Curry wouldn't take 10 of these deep 3's a game, it'd be 1-2 max. There's only 2-3 players in the league with that kind of range (Lillard comes to mind). And they're not taking 100 40 foot threes a game. And these type of players are RARE.

Just think about how far 2K is from real basketball. Imagine seeing it being COMMON in the NBA that a player can dribble around for 10-15 seconds behind a screen with ankle breaking moves with zero fatigue, then step back into a 45 foot lightning quick release 3...and be successful 60-80% of the time. Yet this is common place in 'competitive mode' Pro-Am and the 2K League.

Screens for greens. It's literally all this game is.

Bigs can cover to much ground on defense(they are too fast)

Late contest on laups matter too much.

Random blocks doing pumpfakes.

Leaning shots for guys who have catch and shoot badge should be removed.
