I had a grown ass man on my team in the rec crying the whole time. Mind you he had 20+ points 10+ rebounds, and we were up 20 points the whole game after the first quarter. I played point and was facilitating to the whole team. It’s nothing you can do to please these people. Everybody was tired of him.

[@Clamp_TV]

The worst part is most the people who do this are GROWN MEN😂😂😂

[@jacruz7301]

Ong

[@FutureDerangeD]

BIG FACTS I WAS LITERALLY GETTING READY TO COMMENT THE SAME SHIT😂😂😂😂

[@CRYSNS]

Acting like females complaining to 2k about everything

[@KingSolo30]

Man I just went ahead and started playing myteam 😂😂

[@randyjones8757]

But y’all crying like females about the grown men acting like females??? Lmao

[@DrezzBabyYT]

They really need a kick system to resolve all this, nobody wanna play a unplayable game with randoms that going to sell 247. Rec getting outta hand with the crying over the ball bs.

[@10tmanman]

“ Pass to me or I sell ” it’s too many mfs like this on 2k 😂😂😂😂

[@jayfashi3404]

Cuz y’all don’t pass

[@jalenwalker8790]

@@jayfashi3404mfs definitely do be passing as long as u hitting yo shots.

[@IIAiPlayerII]

Daeg this has to be the worst rec experience I've had in 2k this year. The way they match you up with guys that literally come to sell or don't know the basics is crazy. I don't mind losing. It's part of the game but when I have others that think it's a my career game on rookie or have no type of IQ I get pissed. It gets worse every year and this year is peak stupidity in rec. I literally want to give up sometimes and stop playing 2k. It destroys your mental sometimes.

[@sisandajohnson1369]

Beautiful selling well done 👏🏾

[@FlintCheesewood]

I miss the old days. Kids tried to be team players a few years ago. Contested layups and bad passes ruin the game now. It’s not fun anymore. I agree with you 100%

[@FlintCheesewood]

Stay out of rec if you can’t play team ball for real.

[@iJahnell]

It’s never been this bad… idk how it gets worse and worse every year

[@GoatDavis]

3:29 best part 🤣

[@cfrazier1994]

The guards are usually the most toxic. I’ve done everything right in games and have gone 1/1 shooting because they never pass to the big man even while wide open. Most of the time I have to grab a rebound and force create my own shot. Or if you have the best stats on the team as a big man, the others will purposely sabotage you with bad passes

[@strictlyZ16]

nah thts facts the gaurds def b the ones starting it most the time

[@godkinghope8239]

Facts if you shoot 70% they will go 1/8 before they pass you the ball, and you catch the team up they ice you out again I just quit idgaf no more once I'm banned I'm done for the day...I've quit with 22 points before it gives me a headache watching bad basketball

[@OfficialMel_Fit]

That exact same person was in my game . That’s a grown man trolling

[@brunobagdaddy4493]

Can’t even enjoy Rec as solo player because of players like this

[@FlashThundarr]

Vote to kick is the answer to toxic REC randoms. I remember having the feature in Rainbow Six: Vegas back in the day, it worked so well. If I get voted out the game by 4 other players, I just have to accept that maybe they saw a reason to all agree that they'd be better off with my AI. I think the feature actually urges players to communicate, "Yo, my bad, don't kick me!" " An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life." -Robert A. Heinlein, Beyond This Horizon

[@strictlyZ16]

w comment i agree the vote to kick on rainbow is a good idea n i play it to so i def think it should b on 2k

[@consciousbuddah]

2k need to ban these fools fr

[@jbeastyeet98]

Most of the time it’ll be four of us and we gotta play with one random, and it only takes one guy to ruin the entire game. It becomes 4 on 5 and 2k don’t kick the seller out. It’s annoying asf. Makes me not even want to play unless I got a squad on with me

[@ConceeitedTV]

Somehow 2K tends to pair decent/good players with "the bottom of the barrel" players. 70w% - 90w% Goat/Gold status players get paired with 30w% - 40w% Black status players. There needs to be a tier matchmaking system or something. Let the terrible ppl play with terrible ppl. I don't think there should be a vote to kick system because ppl would abuse it and kick ppl for no reason. But there should be a ban system: If there are multiple clips/videos of a certain player, standing out of bounds or in the paint or holding the ball to the end of shot clock or calling timeouts etc, they should be reported and banned for a time period. Bring back the gamertag that called the timeout so we can see who it is instead of black/white team called timeout. Bring back the stats above the head of everyone!!! So I have a choice to dashboard when I see 3 players avg 2AST and 7PPG shooting 32%FG. Bring back banning ppl for quitting early, that's a tough one for ppl with bad internet but I'm willing to roll that dice because how many times we see someone go 1/10 then quit.

[@uchgamerx]

"If you wanna play MyCareer and take all the shots, go do that shit" it should be that simple, but guys like this just wanna lose and drag other people with them

[@OfficialMel_Fit]

I had that same center in my game a few days ago

[@consciousbuddah]

This is why I stopped playing 2k

[@Prince__Major]

I’ve been on both sides … I’ve been sold and I’ve sold … but when i sell it’s because it’s the second quarter and i got 1 shot while everyone else has atleast 5 each … and you can tell when people are deliberately passing around you … when I’m running wit my homies .. the open person gets the ball wether it’s a random or my potnas .. we play to win … a lot of people are used to losing so they sell to make people quit so they can score all the points

[@strictlyZ16]

its really sad bruh

[@godkinghope8239]

Same you can even be 2/2 from three...Gen z will ice you out while they listen to ice spice oms this happen 🤣

[@Djalexander0521]

I’m with you. I can’t play without my 5. You gotta start playing with all subs or something

[@1DesMac]

This isn’t even the worse I hate when you know you on a team with a squad and they don’t pass the ball the whole game lol but expect you to even wanna play defense and y’all passing it back and forth playing a 2 man pick n roll game that ain’t working or just missing and you know you’re better than them and when you finally get the ball you actually score like 15 in the 4th or some shit

[@delicartier2156]

on some real shit … we all have gone through this being the random or having a random on our team … but respectfully it gets irritating I honestly feel like nobody should get takeover individually if it’s a team game … this would make nighas play together & not sell … PGs on 2k look for their own shot first before teammates due to the unrealistic speed & speedboosting , defensive is horrendous in this game … & completely isn’t balanced so I could understand if nighas not passing what’s the point of playing to burn cardio on my player hell no 😒🤣

[@CRYSNS]

I don’t get them grown ass men this is who 2k listening to😂😂 it’s sad bro

[@nealiousx1276]

Bruh i just had to stop playing 2k23 bru how do i have a 95 layup im beating dudes to the rim i drive past they bite i go up late early 20% contest how?? Im already pass you?? You not even contesting me no more wtf and the shooting is sooooo inconsistent i swear bro

[@pee1981]

The thing is all of them toxic af. Im a 99 level 1 because i hatre playing in the park.

[@BoombasticFantastic-kw1qh]

I know this is extra but these days you need two accounts. One you play serious with when your rec team on and one to run solo with because these randoms be on some goofy shit.

[@TreHall-sx4jm]

A trip dub with turnovers my 🥷 is crazy 😂 💀

[@kylepeterson224]

Had a rando C start selling yesterday in the 1st qtr, his reasoning was that the pg was "blind". Meanwhile, EVERYONE on the team had between 3-5 fg attempts at this point. He took 17 offensive player out of bounds penalties before he was booted. Cant wrap my mind around the mentality required to do this shit. Like, what is your expectation?

[@dakakarot]

Its just sad cause this is normal to me

[@Loso24901]

I play center who make the right passes and etc and hell I don’t get rewarded the ball neither . So get an offensive rebound and go back up. Most of them don’t make all their shots and all I have to do is get the board and go back up. Or when they get trapped stay close by them so they can force the ball to ya and green that bih . Just make sure you do! Common sense is a virtue my kings!

[@maliekmccrimmon3617]

2k went from fun to toxic af

[@mrjones422]

Everytime you think you have found the worst dude ever you find a new one. Played a game last night where a dude that was shooting 1-6 from 3 started to stand out of bounds and not play defense at the start of the 4th because he was butt hurt about being open on the wing and not getting the ball. for a possession or two. We gave him 7 shots, and none of us were freezing him out on purpose. Just out of nowhere he did this shit. We was up by 6 or 8 to start the quarter and were down by 12 with a minute left because of his trash move. Then he started to play like he was going to save us if we gave him the ball.

[@K__BoogzYT]

Factsss shi be annoying ong 🤦🏾‍♂️💯

[@maineak313]

Str8 facts

[@richf3140]

I feel your pain! You have to judge people based on the color of their performance not their 99 rating. I will take an 85 gold over a 99 black anyday. Well 98% of the time. People with high performances had to grind to get those colors up and not bout to just give it up that easy. It kills me when i hop in a lobby and the casuals leave within the first 2 min of the game putting pressure on those of us who r trying to win. This year you can kinda predict what you're going to get based on the performance meter. The only thing i hate about it is when i do a rebirth i start over as a casual so on paper im lumped into the same category as the center in the vid by bad reputation of casuals and have to pray a decent enough group of other high iq randoms takes me in until i get back on my feet. After the first couple of min they see I'm not an typical casual. Rec play comes down to sacrifice and patience. Do u want to score or do u want to win. Some people need to feel involved and if they aren't u get guys like this center.

[@godkinghope8239]

Bs I'm goat on one build the other build I use for bs like this, and just quit every game that's like this shoot 70% 60+ behind 3 avge 9 points on that build🤣 I quit so much I don't deal with it

[@Pick6todahouse]

You literally started this..... Less than a minute in 😂

[@spfhoops]

WHAT? 14 Turnovers???

[@Mikemarz]

I don’t play with anybody who don’t have gold purple panels randoms or not

[@stanleyjefferies3310]

They do it on xbox as well

[@acewilson2080]

Ayne gone lie I be selling like a mf. I always make shootings bigs to space the floor. I get rebs and blocks and have my takeover within the first qtr. There’s games where the opposing big plays defense and there’s games where he don’t. If I’m sitting wing or corner (prefer wing to get back on fastbreak) and I’m glittering with sharp takeover and you keep getting blocked by the center I’m gonna flop. I do this about 3 times. After that when I see you about to get blocked imma call timeout. If I see a dunk meter I let it play out but still. If a man is not guarding me pass the mfn ball. Once I hit a couple shots he’s gonna have to respect the shot and THEN that opens up the paint for everybody. I literally just spot up the whole game. No screens (unless I see you’re guarded by a lock) no fake cuts I let the guards eat. And I sell for one play after ppl call timeout cuz I’m dribbling up the court. Meanwhile if I throw an outlet pass it’s either a turnover or the player runs out of bounds. But ppl call timeout when I’m making high iq play. I don’t get the ball ripped (moving behind the back or dbl explosive behind the back easily thwarts a trap). Plus everyone runs to the paint and by the time I get across halfcourt they’re at the three and the defense is flat footed. I either pull up and green, pass to open person, or drive and kick. So some of y’all be selling yourselves.4

[@jamesm4047]

The sad part is this happens dam near every game. I’ve been playing 2k since 15 and this rec experience this year has officially made me give up on the game forever. You can’t even enjoy the game because the community is so toxic. I won’t play 2k again until they start banning toxic ppl. The whole point of a game is to enjoy it but with randoms it’s impossible. No other community allows ppl to continually be toxic.

[@strictlyZ16]

i feel u man the toxic ones make it unplayable but w crossplay this year i hope u can find u a team

[@dewayne_tv]

Reasons why I quit playing 2k, if you don't have a full 5 you will be sold and irritated majority of the game

[@deanpitcher5065]

Yeah they gotta do something about it. One player can just fucking hijack an entire game, ruin it for everyone. The new rep system is trash too. Decent idea in theory, but if you play rec solo, you can't ever get goat status. How does it make sense, that I get paired with a bunch of weak ass sorry ass mutants, who all quit or sell the game by half time, and then I stay by myself and finish the game and still get an A+, but of course lose, and still take a big hit to my meter. You can't quit though because then you're really gonna take a massive hit to it. I really hope they do better with the next game, they have the tools and ability to make it good, just do it. Just fucking do it.

[@TheNamezZ]

Nah I’ve always preferred playing rec but this year… made me rethink buying one again I want to have fun playing games not deal with these people. It honestly is just easier to find a good squad and run it and maybe sometimes go random to change things up but it’s not worth the headache. I don’t think there’s a fix.

[@_NT91]

Everytime i say to someone you dont understand basketball and they all say they ball irl at a high level its crazy how they just lie they just so weak its crazy

[@_NT91]

Its the same in the Australian servers bro everyone has there messages turned off and just ball hog and throw up bricks and play no defense. There weird soft ass nerds this community has changed so much since 2k15. Its sad to see

[@Teango]

Only time I do this is when I'm wide open under the basket 3 times in a row and I don't get a pass. And I mean wide open, meaning there's nobody in the paint but me. I give my teammates 3 chances. On the 3rd tiem that they clearly refuse to pass me the ball, that's it that's when I do this

[@matthewmoreno8570]

Facts. I legit spent hundreds of dollars on this game for 1 dude to sell and ruin my whole experience. They have to do something.

[@Finneas101]

I just play till I find dudes who are nice and inv to party and see how long the solid players will stick together. Even if the other team is nice I’ll hit them up. Good luck on the KZbin grind I am attempting to start a similar series

[@chillbutton2986]

Main issue is everybody thinks they're that guy and try to dominate the game. If your mind set is to be a hero vs play good ball then go get your own team. Hate MFs dominate the ball or want to make every decision

[@JohnDoe-tl6ve]

Be mad at 2k. They made the community this way by basing legendary status on points scored. They incentivized the selfishness. You can’t obtain legendary status with a certain amount of assists, rebounds, steals, or otherwise playing team ball. It’s only points scored that matters. It’s 2k’s decision making that made the game this way.

[@VonDutch5657]

This shit getting outta hand Fr I had a mf get mad at me for saying I’m open for the 1st quarter because my assignment was afk the guy decided to sell the game because of that shit getting ridiculous

[@don_giovanie4707]

I be in rec just trying to win bro even if I get 0 points no chance to shoot if I could contribute via rebounds and assist I’m still happy

[@mickystar124]

I don’t really care if I don’t see the ball even if I’m open ( unless we’re losing and the offense is stalling out 😂). I just want to win and for people like that who are selfish and just want stats even if it mean to sell the game I just save the trouble and quit myself . I’ll talk my shit before I do though 😂

[@blessedupshea5593]

Now let me say something as pure basketball fan I have really high i.q I'm talking about plays in all now I can't speak for everyone else but when I go in the rec by myself I typically get iced out due me being parred with a team that either pass it to it they homeboys from the get go and won't give me a chance I mean at all to score so yes it does happen a full team can come in and ice you out you don't even have to have scored at all previously you just get iced out I've been on multiple teams that do it they come in with 4 people And how I play anyone with i.q can see me I know when to cut and when to spot up but if they put someone on your team that doesn't know how to pass or the team or people on the team not looking to pass then yes Ill sell especially since I've passed the ball 3 while quarters without even getting a chance to show what I can do what I've learned In playing rec you have to trust your teammates regardless if you know how they play or not I don't play like most people so since I don't people assume I don't know what I'm doing if you have high i.q you can see what I'm doing I don't condone selling at all but you also have to cover the ones that are on a team and not passing it to you without you doinh nothing wrong it dont just be only one person being selfish if someone come in with they squad and ice you out so yes ban people but it has to be fair cus people that be on squads yeah like you said young kids definitely be doing stupid stuff jacking up threes poor spacing I'm planning to go back to GameCube they made me not like this game no more its more stressful than fun

[@GBABYYT]

Bruh these type of players KILL THE REC BRUH💯 I stopped playing 2k solely because of this bruh. Deadass cant play unless I have a full squad

[@OldHeadGaming-_-]

the rec has gotten bad i have closed app on 3 to 4 games before I find one good one smh

[@omg2timez]

needa to change the title to 2k needs to ban players like Z. triple single master

[@yokennyyy]

W thumbnail

[@ad2k739]

Rec this year is the worst , last year I was playing PG and put up points and the big said I don’t mind it. Ill be feeding u as long as u hit them shots. Mfs now be selling for fun and crying.

[@jbeastyeet98]

Grown ass men get mad they don’t get the ball like 2 times. Then rather than quit and play another rec game, play another game all together, just something else, but nah they rather get 3 in the keys the entire of game and sell on purpose. Like what do you get out of that? That’s some real life loser shit bro 😂. They need to make teammate grades more harsh. When someone gets a 3 in the key like 2 or 3 times in a row or just sell on purpose like running out of bounds and shit. They should get kicked plus banned for a certain amount of time. This makes 2k unplayable without friends bro.

[@strictlyZ16]

agreed cuz u def should get graded for trying to sell

[@KillMarq]

Centers be wanting us to run the offense through them its wicked that some of them think that way. If you want the offense to run through you; make a guard. SIMPLE

[@weszorocky]

These centers are just terrible like why make a BIG to just play like a PG just make a PG the community desperate for points it’s sad no defense whatsoever let there dude run by them or even shoot in there face but when it comes to offense there full time shooters/slashers late passing shit is wack fr 😒💯

[@strictlyZ16]

ong bro need to start penalizing ppl

[@abitorres5650]

😂😂😂😂

[@spfhoops]

2k Needs to put a system in where if someone gets reported for selling by 3 people, they are banned from online play for a week. *EDIT* I watched more of your video and you talked about this^

[@godkinghope8239]

Won't work mfs play to bad for it not to be considered selling🤣

[@LuisPerez-wh8rc]

U got madd cuz dude called a timeout I get it but u did say to everyone not to pass him the ball so of course he guna sell out

[@kaijikhristicus8123]

Why would he NOT say that? Why stick around if the dude is going to waste what’s most vital to a close game?

[@4EverTyy]

I can’t believe I hit level 40 just playing wit randoms in Rec 😂😂😂

[@torellrichards6561]

I feel you!!! A lot of us just play the game to decompress from a long day and get some random that does dumb stuff. It ain't safe anywhere anymore. Guess I'll go back to the toxic ass COD community.

[@jayfashi3404]

Aye man if I don’t get the roc I’m selling u got mfs who be in party they all took 10 plus shots I shot the ball four times and they swing it to u only when they have no choice oh yeah I’m selling in the 4th quarter

[@king.g.7184]

Its very unfair for a center to only score off his own rebounds... lets be real the community shows the bigs no love lol... you saying dudes being cry babies but you made a whole 12 minute video crying 😢 😂

[@whenitrains2]

you the niggas we be talking about

[@yuhhtempo]

I deadass just lost a 2v4 in Rec💀 we were up 20 at one point & some nigga decided to start chucking up shots then let his man go for 36. Then the way matchmaking is if I hop on my guard I’ll get a sorry ass Big Man💀

[@jazzr3491]

And the more you talk on the mic to them the more likely they are to stay & continue w the nonsense 😂

[@ovo_kev]

aye bro if you need someone to run with i got you

[@BlkAirFrce]

It gotta be some kinda mental illness, cause wtf even happen for him to do that 😂

[@strictlyZ16]

idk bruh

[@carvinjoshua]

I’ll tell you why he did it. He was hoping all of y’all quit, so he can play with 4 bots, call for every pass, and get more rep. If you tell them that “we not quitting” they usually quit in enough time for you to come back.

[@mrjones422]

Doing that for rep is just dumb. You get more rep for winning. Getting 8 points and 15 boards with an A grade in a win will get you more REP than 40 points and 15 boards with a B grade in a loss.

[@nawfsideslim]

Honestly... 2K content creators do the most crying , whining and complaining💯

[@nishawnbeckford2636]

U da toxic 1
