No cap I felt that cause turning on your mic just cause you to lose brain cells talking to complete dumbass and it leaves you more upset than you would’ve been if you never said a word to him lol
I’ve always hated the fact that your color thing drops cause your teammates went 1/10 while you scored over 20 points while shooting over 60% from the field
FACTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VIDEO! I still find myself trying to get people to try to win. You do get some that just needed some input, and things get better. 2k definitely needs to base the system off your personal performance. I'm tired of being pro or mvp, getting sold, and working my way to try to get my level again. Keep it up, Dime!
Glad you made a video about this. That youtuber swante says you dont lose progress for losing games as long as you get an A- team grade. I was like yeah thats cap lol
Nah you DIFFERENT! Those last 9 points were tuff 😮💨 Tryna be like you fr Lol All facts spoken especially matchmaking! It’s been beyond time for them to address it. Dope vid 💯
What's funny is if you get a turnover, your grade drops drastically but, ballhogging pgs who shoots nothing but contested goes 2/18 grade never drops and they can stay in the game too. They can sell without any consequences whether it's constantly standing in the paint or out of bounds. 2k never does anything to them tho
I really hate that "You need to communicate" suggestion. I've played with randoms for years and nobody has ever had to coach me on "common sense." Especially on defense, I do NOT switch on screens because if I switch off my man, he's 100% going to score on that possession, never fails. I fight through every screen to stay on my man fr and then the mf ends up with the least amount of points on the opposing team 😂
@@jacobwilkie241 - I've gotten really good at getting past screens. I had to do it so often since 2K16 that it's just more effective for me to get back on my man than to switch
Preeeeeeach!! I had a teammate talking the most, but his opp had the most points cookin em…took the L…salute to you dime! Forward transitioning to point cause of you
Bro I salute you. I got a homie who loves solo rec. He be asking me to play with him. I’m like that random rec is a Tylenol three. I can’t do it. Because I play the same way u play and get sold every time or ice out because people mad that you him!!! Out there on both sides of the floor. It’s sad 😞!!!
Realest shit. Your performance plate shouldn’t matter if someone is selling you out. Should be the individual performance and not just points, good defensive plays, turnovers, no wack fouls etc
Had this happen to me yesterday. It felt like a jinx from an old teammate, Started out the day playing with some gold players while I'm at silver and I had this center who played very well alongside. Playing defense, grabbing boards, hitting shots and letting me get my assists. We played 2 games and he messaged me saying he hopes I get more teammates that are good. Next two games, I have 25 combined assists and only miss 2 shots while holding my men to less than 20 points combined but have a SF that gives up 40 and a PF who gives up 39 and we lose both games to teams filled with AI's.
Matching ppl with by performance rank is something I’ve been saying for ever! Especially when the game starts soon as ppl join up! But what be crazy is whoever be getting torched be playing ZERO defense! I mean always somewhere else reaching or just not up or there man! Then that make other ppl try to help his ass and others start scoring 🤦🏾♂️
2k needs to have a individual rating system, not just a team rating system. If the team win it should be a bonus, but if as a center get 15 plus rebounds, 5 blocks and at least 5 steals, and my pg,sg gives up 50 points. Why should that effect my game play as a center and versa versus. The system doesn't reward good play, it only rewards for points scored
tbh i play pro am a lot and what i see is common sense isn’t really so common in this community.. sometimes you gotta spread your knowledge and hope the team you has listens😭
Valid point Dime 💯 Ranked or skilled based matchmaking is in all other most played games, why not 2k? I think another thing they can do is make a players individual team mate grade have most if not all of the effect on my performance and my shield level.
I feel your pain bruh, I got flack when I said the exact same thing on my last rec random video. I ain't got time to teach grown up men how to play defense 😢
man the matching people with people on the same level as you is a great idea. The only thing I would worry about is how long would it take to find those games and if people will to wait to find those game especially in random rec. side note- love the channel, if you still have that defensive menace pg build I definietly would love to see some more rec gameplay with that build soon
I would rather wait in a 5-10 min Q and get matched up with people on my rep level or then get sold by BURGERS. You know when you see the people on the lobby before a game. It needs to allow You to back out anytime before you stand up
Yeah, I thought the same thing. I was told that it would kick them if they didn’t play right and acted stupid and sold you thought that was anticipation of making the AI so much better upset me as well.
Bro rec match making is all jacked up. Like i didn't know there was this much stupid in the world let alone a game. Im a rec random warrior id say 60 percent of my games. Ive always been able to keep my win percentage in 60 to 70 percent range. But MOST importantly was able to have fun and as i progress find some hoopers and develop some running mates. This year its like im getting on just to get angry or just doing some sort or work. 2k finally achieved it i guess. Completely took every aspect of enjoyment out of the game. Time to start putting our hopes in 25 just like every year. Smh
Thats why i try my best to get at least an A- or better grade every game so if i lose it goes down a tiny bit. Or sometimes even up if i lose because of these goofballs.. On my big I get my boards , locks up the big, and get assists set screens.. i dont even care about my points i just keep my eye on my grade and i notice i goes down because if your teammates messing up on defense.. "defensive breakdown" but you are glue to your man.. but your teammates are asleep at the wheel...getting to, and keeping a gold and Purple status is ridiculously hard playing solo..
They need to revamp the system… i win with a good teammate grade and the bar goes down, make that make sense. 2k is the kings of implementing good stuff in the wrong way
Feel your pain bro I play no squad threes a lot or the other theater 3s and I get sold consistently I fuck up don’t get twisted but bruh the randoms I get matched up with be dirt it’s ok to mess up but at least get back on defense they stop playing like they ain’t the ones fuckin up..
100!! 2K needs to have Skilled Based Matchmaking based on Teammate Grades and Rank! Split lobbies based off Teammate Grade Below or Over B-. They need to protect your performance Grade if you finish with an A or A+.
2k has to give us a play call to activate using the Dpad to call 5 out/screen/2-3 Defense ETC….ESPECIALLY IN RANDOM REC!!!!! Let it appear on the screen or something smfh
I feel this shit, im playing pg passing to the open man, taking my takes when im given and averaging like 20/6/7 and I still lose cos ill have a guy go 0/15 and still be spammin for the pass from the AI to continue chuckin and im penalized for it
I’m looking to play PG for the first time but don’t know what I need and don’t really need as a PG. Just like you said, if I can take the Pg out the game then I have a higher chance of winning. It’s difficult finding the team players in the rec
My build just says inside out score so people don’t really know what he is. He’s 6 foot eight. He’s played one through five and rec hard enough to believe it. Yes it’s happened. I played sinner. It blew my mind but usually run as power forward or small forward, but I’m very defensive With a lot of finishing badges and what comes with having an 80 three-point rating and a 75 with a 73 free-throw so mainly if someone doesn’t pass me the ball I just set screens and pics whether it pisses them off or not and that’s how I get my points and I have workhorse turned way up so I can be the one to grab the ball I average a few rebounds and when I play with people I do better because they hit me in the right spots and actually see me cutting realize I have 24 badges 20 defensive playmaking and 19 shooting
Exactly why I don’t take 2k serious no more. Ain’t no way I average a A- teammate grade or build my way to gold or purple, just to get casual players. Whole team of black cards. Meanwhile the other team gold purple 😂
Bro I felt this. I be using my Ben Simmons build and of course I can’t shoot but I am a good defender, elite passer and rebounder, if I dot you and your open, CATCH AND SHOOT. No need to put the ball on the floor
@@michaelmoore3545 and most of the time bro, they never even look to see if I have a three, 2k got a bunch of low iq dudes in rec, they be guarding me out there for no reason. I average damn near a trip dub.
@@davidreed5045 The game not bad it's the community even solo rec I lose can't win them all but there people against one person that's selling the game is better then just one person talking to the person who selling don't have to be rude just have to say come on man we trying to win everybody miss shots but taking bad shots not called for type ish
@@michaelmoore3545 tbh bro I don’t even listen to them talk when I’m in random rec. I just mute them and play. It’s just toxic. I honestly didn’t lose a game today. I was shocked. The build is good, just be mad I be playing with guards who have a high three pointer and be hesitant to shoot when I dot them off my hof dimer and hof needle threader.
Facts 🔥 im the best player on my squad but one of my bros purple because he played with one player for 5 seasons.. mine while I have like 5 gold players I can’t keep a purple cause I may lose a game but still play good
Dime bro i gotta laugh because i swear we must be distant brothers i go thru the same ish, and whats worse it be with friends and randoms. Please 2k match us with High IQ players. And please stop dropping our personal rank because others teammates sell us. Dope video mayne
No bullshit i have 90 win playing random rec and its because of the wing build i made, i just realized historically the teams with the best wing players or bigs win the most games and made an all around 6'8. You can only win so many games as a randoms guard i learned that the hard way 3-5 is the way🔑Edit: if you're good and you show that you don't have to be on a PG to get the ball in control if you're on a wing that can get boards and iso you can take control of the game
1:40 & 2:06 FACTS I swear everything about the online experience makes little to no sense. They’ll put people against all golds and purples getting stomped, ruining the casuals experience… And why am I getting matched with black overalls as an experienced player with high performance level… then when I lose I get punished. Like Dime said MATCH PEOPLE AROUND THEIR RANK. At LEAST silver.
They definitely should change the performance meters u lose one game go down a color it takes 3-5 games to get back n your team grade go down for good plays 😢
it hit different when im in the crib watching this with my girl and im like damn babe he sound like me complaining and sh1t i feel your pain pause my boy
101 to 97 is pretty much all star weekend defense. I think the solo rec and squad rec lobby thing this yr is just a bust. Shit worked fine last year, i dont understand the need for the two lobbies. Going in with 2 or even 3 guys is terrible in the squads anyway. 4 with a bot is actually doable now that bots will hit 50%. I just wish i could tell the bot to spot up corner. Just needs to try and match 5 stacks with 5 stacks and thats pretty much it tho imo.
Eventhough I agree with the majority of the video, you really cant complain about the 2 dudes standing in the same spot when your PF is wide open in the corner for like 3-4 seconds with mamba mentality and you dont see him.
i feel like matchmaking should go based off teammates grade first, then colors. I average an A- teammate grade in the rec. A+ to B+ B to C+ C and below stay grouped together. then you sort out the MVP’s and Golds of group 2 away from the silver or below of group 1. same for group 2 & 3. There is absolutely no reason for me to match up with any player below a B. I also feel like 2k should have a separate rec door for players overall. 60 - 74 75 - 84 85 - 92 92 + If I want to make a new build and try it out without investing too much.. i should have the option to keep him at a 65-70 overall and march up against lower players
Bro I Scored 50 Points And Got Sold By My Team And I Went From A Baller To A Hooper Even Tho My Man Scored 10 Points The Whole Game 2k Definitely Gotta Fix That
