Bro one of the worst things in the Rec is when you make the right rotation to play help and the person you’re looking out for leaves your man open for 3 🤦🏾‍♂️

Yea bro it’s nasty In there. I’m shooting 73% from the floor and 75% from 3 and a random that was 5/18 in a game told me “You only shooting good cuz you wide open, go get it out the mud”. That been on my mind for a week now cuz there’s no way these randoms this mentally challenged.

I was on my PG yesterday and someone said I was the reason we lost when I was shooting 100% (only 7 points, though) and my matchup had 2 points and quit while his matchup had 25 points (the most on the other team). All because I didn't pass to him when he was wide open at the 3 and passed to someone cutting wide open to the rim instead. He asked why I didn't pass to him and I said two people were open and the motion of cutting to the basket caught my eye so I aimed and pressed pass. I said if more than one person is open I just have to pick one. And after that, which was the end of the 1st quarter, him and the Center banded together to make sure we lost the game then both blamed me. All over one pass that we actually scored on. Rec Randoms are weird.

[@kingjaydex7464]

Gotta be the worst era of randoms in history

Big facts fam!

[@DonDeLem]

I blame the 2K community for 4:20 not being a bump steal 😂 People cried and cried for years that the game had too many bump steals all because dribblers were dribbling into defenders. Now you actually need a Steal rating even if you can play amazing defense without it

Dimework! We literally go through the same shit on the Rec. Honestly it frustrating dealing with weak ass teammates. I stopped playing on my Inside-Out Playmaker PG build completely because of teammates being consistent losers. 😭 2k needs a system where we can play with others that have the same rec record or tier in the city! 💯

[@hollywoodmvp19]

i dont know why ppl love losing especially when they is scoring as well but no defense IQ. also the rest of the team chose to him the ball is just stupid.

[@isandrooo]

I had 25 and 7 (shooting 70%) going into the 4th but the sg and sf decided they were going to throw the game because they felt they weren’t getting the ball🥲 they shot a combined 6/15 while their guys had an efficient 63 between them. You can’t make this stuff up man

[@SirThomas_II]

Istg I go through the same thing like dimework

[@realmarjenkins7971]

2k should match up teammate grade only that way win or lose you still have to put in effort or risk always getting matched with sellouts

[@WhoJahBless]

2k needs to incentivize good basketball. dont ban me for leaving randoms that suck, ban the randoms for playing like shit/selling on purpose/going up on 4 people at once & not passing. your teammate grade should drop drastically for back to back to back bonehead plays. these randoms should be getting graded out for playing stupid as fuck. then banned for 30 min, 60 min, etc. i bet the player base tighten up if that were the case.

[@smokeygee40]

Rec randoms just have too much bot activity going on like it’s too late in the 2k year & you still suck at the game like play something else

[@umadbroornah1235]

I truly believe they should match you up based on your status if you’re MVP with MVPs, even if the QTime is a little bit longer

[@LiamVolb]

I don't know if it's a glitch or what but last night I was playing against comp randoms I guess back to back they were too much on point I especially remember a game against a full lockdown team in no squad rec a f***** nightmare every body was afraid to pass the rock this is suspicious cause casuals don't make lockdowns like that they more on the offensive side 🤔

[@paperroutejones3282]

[@QuLex2KYT]

Yea bro! This is why I quit 2k for the rest of the year. If I ain’t got 5 or an AI with 4 I’m not hooping. And you would think this late in the year they would be better or different. But the problem is there’s to many people having access to nba 2k24 that know nothing about basketball and nothing about the game. There’s no skill gap divider. And this late in the year most people will have a 95-99 so you can’t even dunk the 30% win percentage black bar players. Yea Brodie you brave! You a better man than me lol 😂

[@Ghost-hd9wy]

One thing that’s interesting about rec randoms is that I’ll be playing pg and I can throw 3 dots to open people in which they all miss. Then the next possession when they inbound the ball they chuck a full court pass to another person instead of me as if IM THE PROBLEM that y’all missed three wide open shots I set y’all up for. If we getting open shots every time I take it down the court why inbound to another person in the first place???

[@Tyler_Evans0411]

I had the first good rec random matchup of this season of 2k. Everyone spread the floor and let me run point. When I say let me run point, they spaced the floor and let me create for myself and others. It was a beautiful scene, I finished with 16 points and 23 assists on no turnovers. Then I got off for the night because I knew there was no chance of that happening again

I had to jump out of MyPlayer for a while. Got my purple plate back and went to MyTeam. Maybe its something in the water and it will pass? The thing is, alot of these players can actually play the game. They just don't play defense and think they need to be involved in every play. Crazy....

[@kato4642]

I don’t know which is worse playing random rec or playing squads with one other person and the rest is randoms. I mostly play backend and my homie is a small center we do all the dirty work on defense when it comes to helping people guard their matchups on the perimeter, protecting the paint, and grabbing offensive rebounds for second chance opportunities. Yesterday we played three games in a row with different squads each game we played we had one person score 50 points, we never got the ball despite us putting them in the position to score a lot. Then they always have the audacity to add us after the game solely because of our defense. So you mean to tell me yall think we’re only going to play defense just for you to have fun on offense and we barely touch the ball?😂😂😂

[@relthomas]

Nah fr I just got the game for free on ps plus, grinded my build frm 60 to a 76 ovr I play pg so was rlly just tryna get the essentials upgraded n stuff like tht, I can definitely say these random out here on the rec be wildlin man no spacing, no rotations just a whole bunch of bums tryna play hero ball, instead looking for a good look. Don’t even get me started on when they miss one shot or i miss one shot and wanna get to flopping which leaves people open on defense, weird game sometimes man.
