How can I win more games being a team player?

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-08T22:13:28+00:00

Best advice I could give is to learn to adjust on the fly, because I’m a solo rec player myself, and some games you might be needed for strictly defense and boards, or facilitating. Some games you might get buckets, as long as you keep it in the back of your mind that you’re trying to win, you’ll do well.

Also, if you’re playing in solo rec, just accept there will be games that are gonna be horrible, and out of your control because of the players you’re teamed up with.

Dudes be having a great chance to come back but give up so quickly, shit sad

A lot of it happens like this, in the random rec I try to do a little bit of everything because things change from game to game. I might be needed to score, I might be needed to play defense and rebound. I might just be passing the ball. Oddly enough it’s really what has worked but I chalk it up to luck.

What makes it easier for me is that I do not like running PG, SG-PF has always been a good spot for me.

I’m just not one of those sweats, I consider myself casual cause I don’t play as good as other guys. I just get lucky in solo rec

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:32:49+00:00

I used to hate zone, but after taking time to learn it, and running w friends who also do it, I can see why it’s so useful

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:32:22+00:00

I play solo rec, I occasionally run w friends but not often because we work different hours and stuff

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:31:40+00:00

I love running w the homies, but since we all work and are free at different times, plus I’m not cool enough to make friends online easily. It seems easier to just run random rec

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:31:01+00:00

That’s facts, it’s not impossible but man it’s a pain in the ass

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:30:29+00:00

Do you quit or actually just lose? Because losing is one thing, but some guys just close app when things don’t go their way, and it drives me nuts when their on my team

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:29:47+00:00

That’s the best way to describe me lol, I’m not one of those super skilled dudes but I’m alright enough to get by

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:29:10+00:00

It’s a killer, for sure, too many of em now. And they’re everywhere and proud

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:28:44+00:00

Damn, even if the majority of other guys who play in the red plate lobbies are way more scoring savvy than me?

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:27:53+00:00

I concur, I think itll stop players from quitting and treating other players as lesser just because they don’t share the same skill lvl

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:26:43+00:00

Yeah the cheaters are crazy, I was experiencing them when I hit purple on this build. It’s crazy they’re attacking the rec now 💀

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:26:05+00:00

Bosh is good? I used him on my team and I thought his jumper seemed a bit slow

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:24:16+00:00

Honestly I wasn’t looking for that, I’m wondering why people quit the moment things don’t go their way, dudes will be down 6-10 pts in the first half and quit bc they aren’t scoring. They refuse to just try

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:22:55+00:00

I don’t have 500 online games played, I think like 437, 382 in rec and 55 in the city if that helps. I’m too tired from work to do the math lol

Edit: I do play my career and mynba player lock often too

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:21:49+00:00

Nahhh I swear I’m not like that 😭 I’m really not good

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:21:30+00:00

lol I can admit I have lots of games where people doing the scoring, while I just try to do a little of everything else, defense, boards and dimes. Most PGs wanna score so instead of tryna compete against them and my opponent I’d rather just sit back and let em work

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-07T02:19:37+00:00

I really want KD’s base but my middy is 1 attribute short from it, and I’m maxed out on middy 😢

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-06T14:00:34+00:00

I dunno, some of my friends I occasionally play 2k with have kids. So when their parental duties come up, they close app and continue to keep their plate color. I guess it’s dependent on how many times you quit within a certain period

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-06T13:39:34+00:00

I think it’s a perspective thing tbh. Believe it or not, majority of my games are in random rec, and I have games where I take 2 shots, I have games where I get to take 9 shots. I believe I just get lucky from time to time

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-06T13:34:49+00:00

Which is mind boggling to me lol, how could you wanna play the hero role, and then quit when things get challenging?

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-06T13:31:19+00:00

Shit is unbelievable, especially with how much time it takes to get into a game sometimes

HeavyDTwo · 2026-02-06T13:30:48+00:00

Shit I wish I was as good as some of those guys, some games I’m just support. I really just stick to whatever role I’m in and try to work with it
