Being "PASS FIRST" in NBA 2K is NOTHING BUT AN EXCUSE! NBA 2K24 Random Rec Gameplay

By no means am I encouraging ball hogging or being a shot chucker, but I believe that MOST players who say they are "pass first" are simply using the term as an excuse for not being competent scorers. Players who deem themselves pass first are simply trying to relieve themselves of any scoring responsibilities. I love passing as much as anyone, but realistically, as a point guard in 2K... you have to be able to score FIRST. Just look at the NBA and tell me how many "pass first" point guards there are these days. It is an archaic archetype and ideology.

Any PG that can actually create their own shot consistently knows it puts pressure on the D and opens up the offense. The narrative is that ppl hate “ball hogging PGs” but in my experience if your teammates see u know what youre doing & you’re willing to make passes they will let u rock & fall in line.

As a pg with a 90 middy and and a 97 3 ball, I shoot 60 from the field and 3. I come into rec randoms games passing first. If I don’t, if I shoot an open shot and miss, I’ll never see the ball again regardless of if I average 10 assists a game. This community sucks..

I’m gonna score which ultimately will open up shots for my teammates. Vice versa boys just be too scary with the rock in their hands to run PG 😂

[@TickNation]

I said it before and I’ll say it again fu*k playing the PG in random rec. If you don’t pass first possession you won’t touch the ball anymore. But the dude they pass too will take 10 contested layups and keeps getting the ball… why?! 😂 I’ll stick to making SG’s and I ain’t passing shit unless someone is butt naked open and once the PG messes up I end up running the offense anyways 😂

As a PG i Can score… but i start off passing the ball to the team because if i don’t they QUIT or start using ALL THE TIMEOUTS all because im scoring. But when i pass the ball THEY CANT HIT A SHOT lol

[@deviantanomaly]

I used to have that problem in 2k21 but what I realize is that if you are an above average player you HAVE to take over after a while. The easiest way is by giving everybody the ball at the start and only take a shot if you are WIDE open. Once everybody start missing they will feel more comfortable letting you take over. It’s a mind game with the randoms.

[@umadbroornah1235]

I have this discussion all the time with my friends you have to be able to create for others and create for yourself because if you don’t, the offense will be stagnant, a scoring point guard is a dangerous point guard all that pass first stuff is cap and people are scared to shoot because they can’t

[@Spawnamvs]

I'm definitely pass first because I have a knack for reading defenses and making a couple reads, but that's so I can get my teammates going and show that you can't just leave them without being punished. Establishing that I can make those reads makes it easier for me to get mine later in the game because I'll get less coverage due to establishing that vision. My only problem is I need to find a balance between the audacious passes and aggressive scoring

[@jacobwilkie241]

@@Spawnamvs That's really my game. I always am reading defenses first and my game comes off the defense a team runs. If it's just man on man, likely, I'll have to attack, someone will help and I kick to the shooter. If someone has a mismatch, I give to the mismatch. If I see someone sagging off, I find the open man. It's really not much of scoring unless a team ins playing really tight. Cause some games, I come out with like 4 points or something but 15 assists and we win by 20 due to my teammates getting easy looks off me. That's what reading defense PG's do and it's so effective. You don't need to be score first. You just need to be able to score when you are open

[@minovictor]

I’m pass first because I find it more fun than scoring. Magic is one of my favourite players because of his passing. I’d rather have 20 assists than score 40 but I CAN score. In rec I average 20 on 70% fg. If I’m playing with a team that’s incapable of anything offensively, I’ll go get my buckets. I played 3 rec games today and went 43/45 across the 3 games because no ones used to guarding the midrange and someone with really high layup. I’m definitely not scared to shoot, I just find passing fun.

[@nickcastro2798]

You are so right. I’ve learned how to tell real quick if I got a passive PG or aggressive one. And when I play, I’ll look around but you can bet if I see a lane or open shot I”m take it. I had one dude complaining how I wasn’t passing the ball one time yet I was leading the team in assist with 7 before middle of the second quarter. Some folks are better to stay on mute for their own sake lol😂

[@lilmizay1937]

Yea I had to learn this early on in 2k because with my point forward I was passing so much but then I had to realize I gotta score also

💯💯 Facts

[@Saberflextrics]

The title says it all, “Being "PASS FIRST" in NBA 2K is NOTHING BUT AN EXCUSE!,” as there is nothing more frustrating than playing with a gun shy PG that believes you can run that position as a player in the background. “I just like to get others involved” is a cop out for lack of stick skill or lack of confidence. It doesn’t do your team any good if your man knows you aren’t an offensive threat in the half-court. To me, these types just want to feel like they’re contributing while touching the ball a lot, but in reality, they have very little to do with winning and usually a lot to do with getting blown out (and getting a good teammate double teamed).

[@N33zy23]

Remember pgs, if yo shot not falling don’t keep hoisting it up, that’s when u get your team involved, playing with too many guys going 7/18 with only 2 assist and end up getting blown out by 30 while they play no defense

Word, pass first is just code for can't shoot.

I don't mind because I like shooting but I know these players aren't having fun out here just passing because they can't shoot.

I’m kinda 50/50 on the opening topic. But I mean in random rec, it’s hard to be any one singular thing. I do know of guys who win consistently & stay true to being pass first though. Guys like ItzChrisJones. I’d argue that being elite at pass first is much more indefensible because 99.9999% of PGs think score first & THATS predictable.

[@basketballlife5280]

[@peshlegen8037]

As an old head of 2k been playing since 2k13 and 11, I’ve been saying this everytime I get a team that says move the ball. Everytime you pass and it’s a turnover and they get mad you passed it you can never win with these low IQ people. Had a center last night who said “guard your man” in a 5v5 I’m chasing him all over the court eventually he’s going to score against my low defense build however if I shade him to help and no one helps is it really my fault? Eventually he starts getting blocks and we win the game… crazy right? I swear I always lose because of a bum ass center it never fails.

I don't throw passes like that because sometime guys can get bad animations and end up getting blocked etc, or sometime they think you're going up with it so they not ready...I've seen it go bad too many times. If I catch the ball in stride to the rim I just go up with it to not complicate shit.

[@deez7379]

I look at a pass first pg as someone who starts the ball movement. And the whole team should be willing to move the ball. I look to draw players to me and facilitate an OPEN basket. Now if the lane opens im not stupid... but im looking to get the defense out of position. Having high dribble and passing. Thats a pass first pg to me. If i keep breaking the D down and nobody helps then im dropping 100 lol.. but what i aint gonna do is stand at the top and hold the ball 15 seconds...

[@brys4621]

Hmmm how do I put this I don’t agree with the take but I understand were your coming from especially with rec randoms trust me I hear you and as a really elite passer/scorer I believe that the best thing u can do is find a balance the more you don’t pass the easier the defense job is and also the more your teams morale (especially considering randoms) drops which equals whining trolling etc so u have to keep defenses honest which one opens up oppritunitys to score more for you and also allows your teammates to get going again Ik it’s random rec so logic does go out of the window sometimes but that’s just basketball also just making the right play if u have a good look or can create one take it but if a guy from the wing corner etc is being too helpful I’m dotting him until he respects it

[@Jay-xo6ck]

I been playing center alot and now that I’m back on guard I got a habit of passing too much instead of scoring myself

[@jayfashi3404]

Facts gang a pg who a threat helps the offense

[@RightStickRob]

It totally depends. I average 20 and 16 and can easily go off for 40 if need be. I just understand that other people want to enjoy the game too and just don’t want to watch me be the star every single game. Keep in mind I do not play with randoms though, so I know my teammates are capable. Don’t get it twisted though. If I need to take over, I will gladly do so. Random rec is a different story because you get teammates that are so incompetent that being pass first is like asking to lose the game depending on the teammates you get. I feel what you’re saying, though. I have about 10 builds and one of them has a 99 pass accuracy. I swear I will dot dudes and they will still brick. I also completely agree with what you said about what happens if you get slotted at the two. If they slot me there I’m dropping 30. No questions asked.

[@floridamanTOP]

Dime what’s good bro?, I feel like the best pgs can find that balance between when they have to get teammates involved & when they have to take over & score

I agree to an extent but as someone who averages 18.5 on 63/72 splits at SG/SF letting certain pgs cook when you've consistently gotten yourself open off ball 2 or 3 times in the same possession and they've just missed you and kept dribbling the whole posession as if they don't see you or read the stats before the game is infuriating.

[@emperorblkfox5956]

No one should be offended after you explained yourself. I can play 1-5 but I rather main a big but, I have to PG because all my ppl are afraid of TOs. I definitely say I’m a pass first Lock type of PG but, currently this season on Xbox I’m shooting 66.7% from 3, 65% from the field and 100FT. PS is mid 50s for 3s and from the field and 95%FT. Everything you said is spot on, you have to be able to contribute or you’ll be the reason someone is getting double team because you pose no threat.

[@brentonjones7215]

Random rec pg life ain’t for the weak. If you pass too much they say you can’t score, if you score too much they say you can’t pass. I’d average 100 assist if people could actually hit their shots.

[@Joshua-qc1li]

a pass first pg isnt a bad thing. When I play point guard I like passing because I know from my own experience playing center a lot of so called comp guards don't like to pass the ball to the open shooter in the corner or the obvious mismatch when a 6'10 big is matched up against a 6'3 ai center all because they want to take a 50 percent contested pull up from 3. I'm a basketball player before a 2k player.

[@BruceWaynee1821]

Yeah these shoot first point guards be ball hogging nobody care that u can shoot If your team can't score then cool take over but even if they got a good team still wanna shoot every shot I got a 94 perimeter so I love locking those type PGs down pass the ball clown

[@sheeeeeesh3622]

I feel as though pass first is good when playing with randoms, you know how randoms be when you get hot. They stop handing you the rock and start to play hero ball. Playing random rec, when you score too much they stop giving you ball, even when you also pass the ball. But if youre playing with a squad and they know you, its ok to hold on to the ball and facilitate the points.

[@Joey2KYT]

I swear we played a 5 out guard in squad Rec and he had a full 5 with 98 pass accuracy on his build. We literally said screw it everyone stay home and force the PG to score and man… that pass first PG was cooked. Even in random Rec most people will find out someone is pass first and play off of that.

[@AJayTheDogg]

Basically he’s saying You have to have iq You can’t be on dimensional as a pg People think that position is easy But it’s not when you playing against good defenders People want you to pass as soon as you touch the ball as a pg

Sometimes you have to be honest with yourself..everyone can't play PG, some are better SGs SFs BIGs and Defensive players. I'm a better Wing player and Big man than PG. PG is not for everyone but in the right hands a PG can dictate the entire outcome of a game.

[@_dboy_]

You're right. I used to say I was pass first, but really I'm just unselfish and try to make good reads for my team. It's all situational for sure. If someone is open I'll get it to them, but until then you gotta try and break down the defense and get your team opportunities. If a bucket presents itself you gotta take it. The point guards gravity is a big part of getting the defense out of position. It also depends who you are playing with. If I have 3 scorers around me it's going to be even easier to get buckets and assists. You gotta be a threat to score or you're easy to guard.

[@sixnine9048]

I agree. I like setting my teammates up and making the right play/pass but sometimes guys be brickin or not finishing the play when they catch the ball… so then I flip the switch and stop worrying about them and just focus on winning.

[@courtlandgray6761]

I agree with entirely. It took me a long while for me to get comfortable being aggressive. But when im aggressive, i draw doubles for easy passes. Most teams just wanna spam passing lanes anyway so you have to figure out ways to score so they can help on you (the pg).

If you’re playing with strangers for some being involved makes them play better and helps being engaged. I have played rec with every type of player. I don’t care how many points I score if we all are going to eat. If you have the advantage in a game go for 50 until they change strategy then we go from there. Basketball 101 is work the advantage. But don’t come out and in the first half your 5-18 everyone only have 1-2 shots, and we’re down our only up a point or two. That causes teammates to start playing hero ball and doing dumb shit because they don’t care about winning anymore they want to score. If you are at pg be the game manager. I’m a irl pg by trade so I’m looking to dot and create. Pg ain’t for everybody

[@OnlyFloor]

being pass first can be situational, it can also be preference. specifically for guys like you who used to prioritize passing & defense ONLY in past 2Ks you know how frustrating it is to strictly be pass first being in challenging situations. for someone like myself who avg 16 & 8 w/randoms there are games I choose to go w/o a shot attempt for the benefit of the team up until that clock hits 0:00 prioritizing the win, unfortunately everyone can't be a combo guard and that's okay as long as you know your limitations.

[@captintemplar3705]

If you're open there's no reason you should miss

[@nazoflove]

@Dimework even more of a reason to pass... you get double just off the assist and sponge for ya teammate scoring... have take in 2 possessions

[@nazoflove]

@respectfully6439 you not shooting 100% so miss me with the super comp bullshit

[@813lilb]

I see it before it happens but I run sg to pf but I have to run pg with these randoms they can’t see for nun

[@jacobwilkie241]

The term pass first is really just a concept. I consider myself a pass first player because more times than not, I'm passing more than I am scoring cause that's my game. I'm not much of a guy that thinks that I can do everything on the offensive end. I'm not the best dribbler in the world, I hate taking moving 3's and I'm not the most gifted finisher in the world. But I have been practicing all those skills, mostly in MyTeam against All Star or Superstar difficulty which Rec is. It's made me much more of a scorer but I always think to pass first because 9 times out of 10, when I attack, which I do often, someone is coming to help and someone is open.

I’m a willing and capable passer. But my teammates are almost never better scorers than me.

[@Henry-kv7zl]

Playmaking is passing and scoring, people always forget that

[@Alsojiggy]

Ngl all my to come from me gettin ripped other than that i can play against anybody n still 10+ assists

[@jevonjames3241]

Why pass so that the rest of the team gets involved and contributes to the win?

[@weatherwatcher2548]

good players realize that being a pass-first will lose you games

[@Jhnxo]
