SPACE THE FLOOR! Random Rec Gameplay/Tips NBA 2K24

Spacing is probably the NUMBER ONE issue in The Rec on NBA 2K24!
Twitter: @BeLikeDime

[@ithinkimanaries2620]

Spacing in the rec is like watching 5-6 year old beginner basketball. Just a bunch of running around accomplishing nothing

[@Dimework]

😂 so unfortunate man

[@isiight.]

yeah its so bad I uninstalled the game. The game itself isnt great. But the community is the worst ever.

[@TacticalSteez]

And then People mad you not hitting cuts with locks playing the lanes shit is so outrageous

Facts

[@JahABucket]

I like how you explaining all this because the spacing in rec is the main reason I don’t play on my guard anymore, you can tell who got basketball iq and who don’t just how they space the floor.

[@Dimework]

Facts my g! 💯💯

[@hassanj5923]

facts I literally made a PG with zero dunks because you never get space to get to the rim in random rec floaters and mid range fades are the only way to play on a PG with randoms

[@willcfjackson5114]

What kills me is mfs have expectations of you as a Pg, and they don’t have those same expectations of themselves. They want you to make EVERY pass & when u miss them it’s an issue. Meanwhile mfs will miss EVERY SINGLE obvious pass theyre supposed to make. 2 on 1 fast break u break off to the 3pt line, instead of passing they take a contested layup and have the audacity to say “that should’ve been a dunk” 🤡

[@Dimework]

Oh yea, you hit the nail on the head with this one 😂💯

[@Srr248]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Joshua-qc1li]

For me, it’s the point guards who do this. I’ll go 3/3 from three and not get passed the ball wide open in the corner for the next 2 quarters until the last 3 minutes of the 4th when we losing by 15.

[@karnage203]

@@Joshua-qc1liatp i just sit there in the corner nd dont play d. if i wasn’t ya tm8 before im not ya tm8 now gng, ill hit that open 3 tho

[@Rican_MJ]

1000 % spacing, situational awareness for every random. Also ppl make centers and don’t know what hedge defense is and don’t get me started on small guards setting picks with no brick wall 😂

[@ItsJeffryMabo]

Bro I just came across your video, I never usually comment and/or engage but I had to because I was actually glad someone finally shed light on spacing which is so crucial !! I took couple of notes from your tips and it works super well for me now. Keep the fire content, you just got yourself a new subscriber !

Short and sweet of it is most 2K players don’t know ball…they just play the game without a clue. I do love the vids when Dime does the scoring. Time is ripe for a new Ballhog video where he shits on everyone

Dime I love your content, and I really wish that you and Just Call Me Fear could do a collab in the rec as Dame and Giannis . You both are very talented and have similar mindsets.

[@douglashearon4823]

Dimes, I see you. Love the videos, this 2k is more frustrating as a random than any other. I wish people understood the knowledge you kickin in these videos. Unfortunately they don’t.

Yes sir, this is what we need! W upload my boy.

[@Westside19th]

0:30 is gr8 spacing when players is spread out. Bad spacing is when 2 or 3 teammates bunched up in same spot

[@diorth-7649]

“They in the game chat calling me Kobe an shiiii” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@masonshore9601]

not a lie told in this video. a major problem with rec randoms is everyone wants to be “that guy” too much ego involved when they see someone else dominating. IQ is non existent for a lot of players. nothing more annoying than losing a game that y’all easily should have won but people wanna be weirdos

[@JMPedersen32]

🔥🔥🔥 content as always!! Whats crazy is i realized some of those constant picks could be a result of those rec quests. There are times the rec daily/weekly quest it will give VC for getting a certian number of picks. But the picks should still make sense instead of just random picks. Like I'll do an off ball pick to get someone else open to help the PG get an assist if they read it right.

[@iLL_444_]

You said everything i try to explain to people. 🙏🏾

[@kbennett785]

Love your video broski. But honestly I've been playing 2k for way to long and I realized that alot of people want to feel apart of EVERY play which is not good

[@SirThomas_II]

I been having spacing issues since the start of season 2 and I'm understanding more why I don't like playing with some of my friends either. Niggas don't know proper spacing AT ALL. I don't mind screens but you HAVE to know how to set one. I can't try to get around you and my dude at the same time, even worse when niggas come up and set 2 screens. Now it's 6 niggas in the vicinity for no reason. Then when their terrible spacing takes away the middy I try to drive but mfs drive with me and crowd the paint. All I have is 2 terrible corner passes available or throw up a goofy

[@Goodvibez_251]

You spoke nothing but facts here Brodie it’s sad out here in random rec I’m happy somebody said it

@@Dimework definitely would have been nice to have played a rec game with ya but it's all good im on to other shit F 2K

[@leviuzumaki3903]

The problem is everyone wants to score, but they don’t know how to accomplish that without the ball in their hands. You can easily get 20 points by just simply spotting up in the corner or wing and being patient and passing the ball around. Or if your a post player or inside player you can also easily get a lot of points by simply playing the low post on the opposite side of the ball handler or setting screens.

[@IvanGrogan]

it’s a shame that the people who should watch this video to learn something from it probably won’t 😂 W video anyway though. always enjoy watching your random rec experiences

LMAO story of my life

[@hassanj5923]

7:21 is FACTS if you're in the right spot I will find you 9/10 I have a 91 pass accuracy why are you running towards me

[@OnlyFloor]

i wanna point out something & we can agree to disagree; most players that initiate bad spacing are inside bigs; and to them they believe if they're not playing bad, then they're not selling. Yes you can rebound, block some shots, play some defense, but on the offensive end most of your teammates can't score the ball as they should because you being on an inside, you're in the way & you're causing unnecessary double teams, that's selling. You don't have to always play bad to be considered "selling". Sometimes being on a build that doesn't bring the proper offensive requirements can be labeled as selling.

[@braysenju]

We have to appreciate dimeworks mental health

[@Dimework]

😂💯

[@ZeraFlo]

lowkey a lot of these situations can be avoids by you. at 2:00 they were all already on the left side and u decided to run a pnr on the left, instead move out to the right where u have all that space to work and get a bucket off a pnr bc the left side is clogged up

[@Dimework]

I took the inbound on the left side. I’m there first with the ball. Anyone with a brain would go opposite of the inbound. We’re already into the pick and roll & they decide to come over to that side. The ball is always priority. You move away from the ball, the ball doesn’t move away from you.

[@alexanderpollard7403]

Yow dime been a fan since last year watched all your videos but what release do you play on? I play on push and I find it super inconsistent to me and the others are just way too fast. Any tips?

[@grind4greatness]

Word. Spacing the floor and getting back on defense instead of tryin to get inbound steals every possession. Those two things alone could boost your win percentage.

[@AP-18789]

Telling you right now solo REC life would be so much more better if people just learnt the basics, I’m talking basketball 101. Like I always say let the PG do his thing, if he starts selling the bag then fair enough step in if needs must. Good stuff as always Dime, by the way your voice sounds exactly like The Game’s. 😂

[@FamilysAllWeGot]

Should 2k really penalize people for quitting? Like now it’s to the point where you get banned for a bit for closing app or disconnecting your internet. Let’s bring this issue to 2k because why should I be penalized for my random teammates acting stupid by burning up all the timeouts, calling timeout when you’re about to get a wide open dunk, getting 3 sec calls on purpose, and not playing offense and defense. I play no squads rec when my homies aren’t on… so when the randoms are sabotaging the game why can’t I just get up outta there and start up a new game like come on 2k.

[@xblaqbrahmax]

"But bro, wtf is that!?" 😂

[@tomrosas3551]

But what if your guards are getting clamped and you’re just getting denied ball all game in the corner?

[@jacksonmuralt9086]

Biggest problem I face is I'll bring the ball up the court and 3 people are screening. Not sure why guards this year feel the need to screen. Let the big man do it and wait in the corner and I'll hit you everytime.

Yeah people don’t know that playing off ball effectively is a skill itself. Not everyone knows how. I main my 3 Level Threat SF and he consistently gets 30+ pts most of his games. A low scoring game is 20+ for him. But it’s mostly just knowing how to play off the ball.
