I cannot take rec anymore
People yell at me for making a build that rebounds the ball and distributes. Says I can’t shoot.
I make a 3&D wing with little rebounding and 92 3 ball. Hall of fame badges for corner 3s. My defender is in Narnia. No one passes til the 4th quarter when we are already down 20 because our primary distributor passes to other team more than ours.
When I ask for a pass I get one chance to make a shot. If I don’t make the shot I’ll never touch the ball again besides for steals. If I do make it then I get a few more and then they stop passing to me again. If my guy is closing out I pass the ball. I’m a 3&D wing.
If people played this game like actual basketball instead of trying to get ankle breakers and poster dunks then maybe it’d actually be fun. Online 5v5 pickup games is the entire appeal to me grinding my character and it’s just a bunch of angry teenagers trying to play my career games in rec.
Is there even anything 2k can do? Like if a player on your team hasn’t had a touch in a while, can assists to that player have an additional “good pass” or “good shot attempt” style feedback? Something to incentivize including everyone and actual team chemistry.
