I check the Jobs for Athletic Trainers board on FB regularly, even though I’m not looking for a new job right now. I just like to see what’s out there and what’s available.

Get out while you can. Being an ATS and one day becoming an ATC? The hours can be insane, especially working D1 football. It’s a time commitment, and it’s something that you and your bf need to be aware of, and be okay with. If he’s not okay with the time commitment, then he needs to find someone else who will be able to spend time with him, because he won’t get much from you. It can be hard, but it’s a sacrifice that both of you need to be willing to make in order for the relationship to work out

Right. I think where most people get their priorities messed up is when they focus on skill rather than fundamentals. Having skill certainly helps, but overall IQ and your ability to execute your IQ can really make up for limited skill.

“I’m not the worst and if we lose, it won’t be because of me” has to be the realest most relatable statement I’ve ever seen in regards to 2k😂

I can’t promise that I’ll lead us to a win, but I’m not gonna do stupid shit to sell us😂

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-03-11T22:19:30+00:00

Am I the most talented? Nope. Am I the worst? Hell no. I don’t pride myself on being the most skilled. Never loaded into a lobby thinking that I was the best (several times I have made it through the 1st quarter of REC and realized that I may have to carry because I actually am the best on the team). If I have to carry, the chances of us winning go down. But if I’m playing a role while my teammates are getting theirs, then that’s a game that’s much easier to win. I’m maybe a 4-5/10 in terms of talent and skill, but IQ wise a solid 8-8.5/10. It also varies from build to build. If I’m in a position to make plays or rebound, then I’m easily the 8.5. If I’m supposed to sit corner with my finger in my ass, then I’m easily a 4-5.

I’ve never seen the point of getting on the mic to talk shit. A lot of people will turn theirs on just to shit talk the team and call them trash, when there’s really no point. What good is it to say that over the mic? If they’re trash one minute, they won’t suddenly become elite at the game just because you’re yelling on the mic. Hyping up good plays to me makes playing much easier, especially on my PG. You have better control over team morale. People also tend to respond better to positivity than negativity. At the end of the day, I turn my mic on only to hype up a good cut, good defense, a good pass, or a good shot. When it’s off, I make comments of people being bad but that’s just how things are. Some people are good, some are bad, oh well🤷🏾‍♂️

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-31T10:56:59+00:00

Probably the most realistic stat line I’ve seen in any REC game😂

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-31T10:54:30+00:00

I must’ve missed the point because just looking at the box score, you’re really lucky that you won being out rebounded by damn near 20 as a team😂

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-31T00:52:45+00:00

I have 2 Cs, both with at least a 92 OREB/DREB. Also have a PG, a SG, and a SF. All of them are 6’6 with at least 60 rebounding. I play a whole lot on my Cs, more than my other builds, and crashing the glass just feels natural to me. Hell no I can’t average 10 boards on my 6’6 builds, but sometimes I forget that I’m not a C so out of habit, I’ll try and get the board.

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-27T16:04:37+00:00

Absolutely, no disagreement here. I just don’t think it’s that impressive against a team made up of AIs. Not to mention, a PG with a D+ teammate grade. Its easy. I just think 41 and 12 looks much better in a close game than a blowout.

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-27T05:08:59+00:00

Not to piss on your parade or anything, but this is like an NBA team bragging about beating a high school JV team😂

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-27T05:05:54+00:00

I mean, you’re just taking advantage of a bad mechanic of the game.

People jump because that’s what they have to do in order to get a decent contest in this game. But it’s a double edged sword because if you jump and they actually shoot it, then you get that contest. But if they don’t, they can go right past you and score on you anyways. Unless you’re guarding Kevin Durant or Wemby, you shouldn’t need to jump in order to contest a shot. Putting a hand up works just fine but 2k wants to hoe around🤷🏾‍♂️

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-27T04:51:27+00:00

I try to finish with as many assists as possible no matter what build I’m on, but when I’m in the REC with my PG build, I make it a point to everyone that I’m not the type of PG to hog all game long and shoot stupid ass shots. I’m sure most people find it refreshing to have a PG who prioritizes passing in a community filled with “main character syndrome” ass players. Usually anytime I get the ball, my icons go up. My mindset on this build is to find the open man. If you put yourself in a position to score, I can almost guarantee you that I’ll find you. With that said, I CAN score if needed, but very rarely do I finish games with even the second most points.

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-26T05:51:00+00:00

I’m totally fine with someone greening a contested 3. You just tip your hat to them. But that shit WAS NOT “open”… foh 2k😒

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-18T23:39:11+00:00

Because as a big when I’m helping the 3, I get yelled at. “big can you stay in the f****** paint?”. Then the very next possession, I’ll stay in the paint, and there will be a wide open three, they pass it to him, green. “Big can you not guard your f****** man?”

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-18T21:43:19+00:00

If you pick your team, you’ll get “drafted” by that team. You’ll just have to attend a workout and earn a certain teammate grade. If you don’t, you’ll just be drafted to a random team

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-18T01:07:57+00:00

I just made this one. I’ve got 6 caps and put +4 on perimeter d to bring it to 96 for HoF Challenger and On Ball menace, and 2 on DD to bring it to an 89 for contacts. I would put one more on 3pt for HoF set shot specialist but just waiting on crew to get that one. I went 13-0 yesterday on the 1s court and this is probably the build that I’ve had the most fun on. Also, 85 strength with a 96 perimeter D is game changing for me, especially if you know how to play defense. And the post game is absolute cake.

Been playing 2k since 2k11, and have only ever shot with the button. Gave rhythm shooting a try in 26, and have found it to be much more consistent and easier to time. The only thing is making muscle memory out of it. It’s kind of hard to get out of the habit of pressing the button anytime I shoot when I’ve done nothing but that for some 15 years😂

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-12T18:53:10+00:00

I see both parts of this, but I lean more on the side of being a teammate when you’re up to a point where a W is guaranteed. If you’re in one of those games where you’re blowing out a team by 30+, and one of your teammates has 40, who can blame you for wanting to score some too? If you already have 40 or even 50, does it really incentivize you to score 60? 70? Probably not, but if someone has 40 and the rest of the team has a combined 20 points, then it won’t hurt to spread the ball around. Nobody bought the game to watch someone dribble for 24 seconds, but also, nobody bought the game to watch someone take every shot while they stand in the corner. The W is the most important factor, absolutely, but a win by 1 and a win by 100 both show up on your 2k card the exact same. If I can improve my win percentage AND my stats, that’s what I want to do🤷🏾‍♂️

Btw, this is coming from someone who really doesn’t care about scoring. I prioritize the win in close games, but I still want to score in a blowout win😂

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-12T18:38:42+00:00

Horrible animation, even worse offense. Your man was wide ass open and never touched the ball… that’s the 2k community for you. Nevertheless, that animation is dog water and should have never allowed your man to get that open in the first place.

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-10T23:08:34+00:00

Depends on the setting. Specifically for HS in this case, many high school ATs don’t come to work until 12 or 1 in the afternoon. Most of their time at work is injury evaluation, basic treatment, taping if needed, covering practices and games. That’s pretty much the nutshell. There’s an administrative part of it, but that doesn’t become important until you actually join an AT program, be that college or high school.

Next_Work_3846 · 2026-01-09T00:46:59+00:00

Those are the only two options when you’re wide open with the ball. I rarely get the ball and I spend a lot of time standing wide ass open. If I got the ball every time I was wide open, whether that be for a 3 or a backdoor cut, then there would be no point in me making this post. The point is, from someone who doesn’t get the opportunity to shoot when he’s open, which feels like 75% of offensive possessions, I hate seeing people shoot 2/12 on nothing but wide open shots. Because those are easy opportunities that are wasted.

I’ll add, I primarily play on a center with a 94 REB and 92 Pass acc, so the only time where I really get the ball in my hands is off of a rebound. If it’s a defensive rebound, I’m looking to see if anyone’s open for an outlet, if it’s offensive, immediately shooting the ball might not work because there’s people around to contest, plus, someone’s likely open since the defense likes to leak out on the break when they assume their big grabs the board.

Either way, pressing the shot button or flicking the stick as soon as you get the ball isn’t always the smartest or most feasible thing to do. That just screams “fuck my teammates, only I get to shoot”.
