[@ITzASOxTone]

Yeah, the randoms are ass, but if you got a solid teammate, then you can rack up wins. I’m a Center and I’ll be carrying my team to a win and I’m I have the most threes made, most rebound, points and everything

Man that first part when you did the rundown of how folks act in the rec is hilarious. Brah somebody not getting the ball for 2 plays and calling timeouts 😂😂😂

[@aidriankingDSG]

For me it’s all of the above lmfao, shits stupid as hell

[@mathewsargent1668]

You might think it’s two plays but if I don’t touch the ball, like at all , for 3 quarters while I watch you take heavily contested lay up after lay up you bet your ass I’m selling the game.

And the community still keeps giving 2k money 😂 crazy

[@TheTehMesty]

As a PG who runs random rec a lot and is consistently on GOAT tier the best method is to just play smart ball. If you can limit your own mistakes and force turnovers you'll come out on top a lot. Don't ever hop in chat because that's when everyone starts problems. Just play the game and listen to some music.

[@curryforthreebang400]

That’s me, I’m more focused that way as well

[@willcfjackson5114]

@@michaellindon7529 agree, but how would u know if u come str8 into the game listening to music & not your teammates. Ima goat tier PG, 14-5 in random rec. Yall that come into random rec to not communicate is the worst, not saying skill wise. Just the worst type of ppl.

[@hasbullapapi]

Typical rec random pg: • blames it on the controller • is "lagging" • swears he'll stop shooting but keeps shooting • leaves the game

[@LimaFX]

Thats why in rec I always play center if the center leaves or is AFK you gonna lose

[@TRxh98]

Yeah I'm 4-1 in the random rec as a center. If you know how to dominate as a big you can carry the bums. No point in playing random rec tho if you ain't a PG or Center cause you have no real control over the game.

They keep falling for it every time. Every year you get a bad product and these clowns give them 100s of dollars. The community is dumb.

[@vShxde3]

Might be the worst year for random rec ever

[@SevenP2830]

It’s always been bad. Remember 2k21 everyone sliding? Last year your player fumbling the ball on a normal pass. Trash franchise

[@DRandR1productionz]

@@SevenP2830 yeah but this year its almost unplayable I dont know whether it's because of SBMM or the game just isn't playing well for random rec

last year was the worst ive ever played

[@chadwellington2524]

@@SevenP2830 no, 2k19 and 2k20 rec players were way better than past couple years... now its like 80% of people are completely useless

[@thecrazyandproud]

I got a 70% win rate in random rec and the worst thing is every position going to the top of the key bro. The PF and center will continuously go there and try to iso. And defense of course but that’s expected.

[@DSPeterr]

I mean random rec is awful but rec with a 2 man with a 3 man is so bad you’re not touching the ball even if they playin like sh*t

[@gavinviera5579]

Yeah nothing is worse than playing with another 2 man that don’t pass at all

[@nikexdagamer4110]

2man squads is by far way worse then random rec

[@benjaminrichardson7447]

Bruh 4/19 is wild. Majority wide open as well, crazy

[@UTNatlChamps]

The fact that enough people don’t care that the attributes at 1:14 clearly do not equate to an actual 99 overall player is just sad. Creating a player offline with those exact attributes make it like a high 70s to mid 80s.

[@ebabyyy33]

Updates to builds and the game.

[@ZayForReal_]

To be fair tho, it’s just scaled differently. There’s 99 overall W players and if you put them on the NBA scale, they wouldn’t be a 99 anymore either.

[@Jordan6Rings]

Plz more random rec,is funny to see that we are not the only ones suffering 😂

[@thrillbg]

19:05 the missed dunk… I felt that added deflation in confidence 😂😂😂

[@cvibe93]

The random dancing after missing at half court took me out 😂😂😂

[@rude1]

They need to remove skill base matchmaking in the Reck, who the fuck asks for this like who asked for this people don’t like skill base matchmaking and call of duty, so why would they put it in 2K? And on top of that it takes about 4 minutes to get a game who asked for this in rec I’m sick of playing by myself and going up against 5 players that are teamed up in a squad

[@dustinmelvin50]

Dude if your going into random rec, your not playing against a squad, your playing against another random team

[@DRandR1productionz]

I agree with the queue time im waiting 5 and even 10 minutes at times to find a game unless I'm playing at peak times it's frustrating considering its literally week 2 it's also annoying to make a new build and get bums until your my performance goes up. I do like getting more competitive matches but it's a bit OD I dont think every single game mode needs to be sweaty comp you have proving grounds and pro-am rec is literally pick up basketball

[@Pg2kManiac]

BALL HOG IN REC IS INSANE 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

[@Quan367]

Especially how it works because my teamates sell and I get a double double with a teammate grade why is it going down ? But then when I carry bums to a win they go up after contributing nothing

[@oldhead2769]

Your 1st rec game experience was surprisingly similar to what mine is 😂 but it has honestly been better this year. I only play random rec and no squad theater.

Can you start a petitoj to get rid of SBMM in casual modes ? Like 2K just implemented a ranked mode exactly for that purpose but now we get SBMM in every single game mode. I don't mind in ProAm or Proving Grounds but fuck SBMM in rec or park bro. I'm a solid player but I don't wanna sweat my life out every single game I play on 2K, sometimes I just wanna chill with the homies and have a nice easy game. Haven't had one since launch
