This Might Be WORSE Than REC RANDOMS In NBA 2K24!

[@OfficialJerz]

Whats Worse Full 5 2-3 Zone Or Rec Randoms?!

[@newlife6265]

Rec randoms.

[@Imkfree]

Both

[@savagelch5024]

No cap the full 5 worse. They just completely ruined the rec this year no cap

[@Gillie2kstone-]

Def a full five, breaking a zone is just as easy as beating my man

[@mathjones5845]

Yep I haven’t used all year and I get contact dunks a lot the meter is broken this year well every year

[@Benji.blu.]

Randoms are worse for sure when I have 5 we are patient enough to break the zone every play it’s easy as long as your patient and make the correct pass/reads

[@OfficialJerz]

True n some people so bad they dont even run the zone properly so there are holes to expose

[@otech88]

Yeah if you’re running zone with a full 5 go play pro am.

Pro am is not comp unless you playing in leagues them same rec teams be in pro am as well.

[@chrishansen8119]

⁠​⁠@@7evene114pro am is definitely more comp than rec. I mean, even in just basic pro am games (not including leagues). Instead of maybe running across a full 5 that runs zone (like in the rec) you will definitely come across a full 5 running a zone.

[@7evene114]

Zones are weird in rec , I be playing with people that aren’t the best yet we still smoke em and they refuse to leave their zone . Literally be winning by 40 but I just don’t always like having to play the way I have to when they play zone . It’s just crazy to me that people use that zone like it’s a bible even if they getting smoked

[@OfficialJerz]

Lmaoooo fr tho like I hate having to constantly read and work a zone defense and put myself in the right spot its weird.Rather see man and everyone lock up their matchup

[@philliproach1016]

[@dantealridge261]

It really depends on the match ups. Lets say they have 5 shooters all on the wing and they keep scoring off of layups and pass outs. Then makes sense to me to play zone. But if they only got 4 shooters no need

[@OfficialJerz]

Yeah but the guys in this video running zone was a bad idea with a 6’11 center 😭

[@willcfjackson5114]

When I run squad rec, we play man. Bc we all like to strap our matchup. What be crazy is teams will run a 2-3, but when u switch from man and run a 2-3 back against them they don’t know how to score against it. How you run a defense you urself can’t score against lol

[@OfficialJerz]

Facts like it be feeling the best locking down ya matchup to the lowest points of the game. I be feeling like Kawhi lol

[@smokeygee40]

Squads in the rec want to be sweaty so bad but half the time don’t even actually be good at playing defense just wanna run a zone

[@OfficialJerz]

Facts then again this game all about Metas and following the cheesy things

[@juliangrimberg176]

2/3 games i play is a full 5 with 2-3 zone. mean while i play with one other friend with 3 Randoms or2 other people and a ai. imo i think there should be a 5v5 rec section.

[@OfficialJerz]

Literally. I thought thats what they was doing this year but nope you can legit load up with Rec Randoms and see a full 5 2-3 zone

[@noaheazy2129]

" I was liking the fill of the full 5" Yeah that is outrageous. A pause can not save that.

[@Dehrek78]

Man playing zone in REC is weak as hell, Man Up or take that shit to PRO AM for a challenge if you like that play style.

[@OfficialJerz]

True fr thats what I be thinking but I was just wondering

[@Jredhook-d2v]

Worst part of the zone is that is super flawed it’s not for shooting but the game is broke so they get to play bad defense and still win then act like they are u good at the game when they not

[@OfficialJerz]

Facts like we can say what we want but zone is ran when u wanna duck man cuz u know one of ya boys or u gone get sauced

[@Skedoosh99]

You are the first KZbinr who has said what I’ve felt about 2-3 zone in rec. feel like it’s a lazy way to play for a bunch of people who either can’t play defense, or don’t have high defense on their build. They take advantage of people who aren’t coordinated or organized. Sit in your spot, Spam squares

[@raiderjedi4160]

As a middy specialist I love playing against zone 😂

[@OfficialJerz]

I feel that Lmaooo

[@Jredhook-d2v]

That zone is definitely a cop out people that run zone ruin the game

[@OfficialJerz]

Yeah n I feel like the Rec gone be like that for the whole year

[@devinc59]

I feel you but some guards don’t put defense on their build so I can see why some fives would run a 2-3

[@OfficialJerz]

Yea thats where I understand it n it makes sense. Just dont like the Idea of some people playing against it with rec randoms

[@TheVoiceofRandoms]

Rush hour crazy bro frfr

[@IIAiPlayerII]

The thing about squads in rec is that they are too sweaty. Like i can understand if you trying out for the 2k league or going to pro am or something but its not that serious. Go to pro am. Im tryna win but its not that serious to me. Prople be playing like if they lose they are gonna be banished to the shadow realm

[@vincetoms]

i mean the goal is to win and have fun right? lol maybe they are just better

[@OfficialJerz]

I mean if people were that much better couldn’t they just win in man then also?

[@OfficialJerz]

Yeah minute I see the 2-3 zone I can tell how serious people taking a game like 2k24😂😂. I respect the grind tho I do be wanting to win too just casually tho

[@nouarkansas9386]

in squads in my opinion shit is so easy it gets boring,

[@jameshill9579]

​@@nouarkansas9386great comment I agree 1000 percent.

[@Lfkxl]

2-3 zone doesn’t “bail out” bad players. That’s ignorant.. 2-3 requires HIGH IQ players and great communication. Then it’s a success, and quite overpowered. But if a bunch of random noobs or low IQ players try 2-3 zone, obviously they will get EXPOSED and scoring would be EASIER for the opponent. There’s always someone open in the 2-3 zone. It’s extremely easy to score against the 2-3 zone, unless you’re missing all the shots and making the wrong pass

[@OfficialJerz]

People should not have to hop into rec and play a 2-3 full 5 when they just wanna play Rec with 1 or 2 of their boys. Thats a new thing that is happening this year and at a high rate and its weird. I understand if its a 5v5 but to do it as a full 5 to a team of randoms that has no chemistry n probably ain’t even talking is weird. Requires high iq which means for 20 mins u working ya brain tryna dissect a defense instead of just enjoying a basketball game with ya boys. Maybe u feel dif but 2 hours of that straight sounds tiring n thats why people dont enjoy rec. 2k made it like this tho n regardless whenever I beat 2-3 zone full 5 with randoms i just laugh at the xbox/psn names that lose cuz thats embarrassing…

[@EnigmaEcho42]

i think it's wild to load into rec and run a 2-3 because you're too weak to play man to man....the zone does have its weaknesses and can be beaten but what are the odds people understand how to actually hoop like that, (not high in 2k)

[@oogieboogie551]

No what’s worse is when you and the boys are playing park and the other friend hops on so you gotta play a sweaty 5 with 4 people and an ai. All honesty I’d rather take my chances with rec randoms.

[@G2tact]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ChenTay602]

Hey man I got a video idea for you what if you try and compare rec randoms from playing with the no squads and then play with one friend with the squads and see which randoms are worst ! Another banger tho

[@mike.e358]

I rather play with randoms, at least then I would an excuse for not getting the ball

[@HeatFan1]

2-3 zones in the rec is lame as f*kc lol. Hate seeing it. If I have a full 5 or 4 with the AI it’s cool, cus the zones be kinda trash most times anyway cus they suck. But playing with some randoms it can be stressful cus they don’t do the right things

[@HeatFan1]

It’s still lame tho lol, take that zone sh*t to pro am

[@OfficialJerz]

Fr imo

[@OfficialJerz]

The zones do be trash but it’s the fact that gotta spend the whole game being patient and figuring it out. Instead of vibing with my boys I gotta lock in as the pg

[@uchgamerx]

Haha that into question is a trap. No way I'm playing with randoms against a 2-3 zone. First of all, a lot of them don't even know what that is 😂 Also, 2-3 zone is not hard to beat as long as you run 5 out. The corner guys are always the weak links

[@OfficialJerz]

Yeah I feel like 5 out is needed to go against it. i aint ran a 5 out ever 💀. Never got the proper spacing and my boys dont like to stand still on offense

[@uchgamerx]

Ppl don’t zone it in pro am tho, not to the extent where the C sits paint bc it’s to easy to beat, but pg and c are corners. sg guards sg/hash, lock guards the other pg and the PF normally a Backend build will help the lock on screens and play cuts and rotations will be called for the Center to go get the board, 2-3 is for rec bums, the only zone that takes skill is 3-2, and only that’s for use against 5 out normally

All this comments sound like a skill isuse to me. Pro am is the same as Rec its not a comp place if you don't participate in tournaments and Matchups.

[@7evene114]

Exactly!

[@OfficialJerz]

Skill issue or not everyone is trying to sweat almost everytime they touch the game. Im just saying it’s obvious this is 2-3 zone dominate year and the Rec has never been this bad with it so I wanted to see what people thought

[@iCorpse999]

@officialjerz2192 Nahh u good my G👍 Most "teams" go to rec to practice defense, zone, plays, whatever. That's at least what we do, probably why u see it a lot in Rec. There are teams that are really bad however, just have a friend group of 5, and they usually play only rec to smash randoms. I agree that that's disgusting. Zone is easy to brake u don't see it in comp a lot, but i guess it's good against randoms. But then again, blame 2k for setting up the game mode the way it is and blame randoms who hop on the game, thinking they gonna have success with 2 brain cells for basketball. 😀

[@oldmanballer5088]

2-3 zone is actually basketball strategy so why would you cry about that. I love it when teams play 2-3 it can be beaten easily.
