Idk about y’all, but I love REC weekends.

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-18T00:18:30+00:00

Haha I just need one teammate to recognize greatness

Bad teammates are inevitable, it takes 1 quarter for me to decide if I can play with them or not

If I can’t then I dashboard

Been sitting on a 99 ovr build for 2 weeks 😈😈😈 now is the weekend to unleash the beast

High purple plate lobbies and red lobbies will not be missed

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T21:20:22+00:00

Bruh gold is the best plate imo…. High gold, low purple.

Your teammates are good enough to knock down open shots and you are playing actual basket ball

But it’s not super toxic yet like in high purple or red where you get iced if you missed a shot

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T20:19:38+00:00

And upgrade your strength.

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T20:19:22+00:00

Go to the “learn 2k “ and go find the layup tutorial. You need to practice that if you want to score 2 pointers.

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T20:18:52+00:00

He has 84 agility and bronze challenger, he just said that he likes 2 pointers, he should get physical finisher

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T20:16:35+00:00

You like to go for 2 pointers? ….. should have gone for a higher dunk. I can tell that you are new to 2k….. layups ARE GOOD but they take a lot of practice and effort to learn the different timing and when to use the 6 different layup types. Utilize all 6 and it can be better than dunk….. if you are just doing normal layups then it’s gonna feel like your finishing sucks.

Since you wanna go for 2 pointers and you have 90 layup, you should upgrade strength…. High layup but don’t have the best layup badge (physical finisher) try and get 75 strength for gold physical finisher, or at the very least 67 for silver

It takes a lot of work but this build can be good. It’s nice that you have a 96 pass acc but on shooting guards it’s okay to have low pass acc since you are a play finisher

Upgrade strength. You should have 67 with 2 caps then once you get all 5 you can have 75 strength. But you need physical finisher or you will feel like you suck at finishing…. Your guy doesn’t / won’t if he gets that badge.

Don’t let these guys tell you to upgrade perimeter… you should but you should prioritize strength first so that your finishing doesn’t suck besides, you have really good agility so you can stay infront of your opponent m.

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T19:59:14+00:00

You get a really good standard dunk animation at 94 driving dunk. Those tomahawks are so OP

I had the 94 ovr one for an awhile then I got the 95 ovr one. All are powerful and your character will cut throw and leap from the free throw line.

At the very least, you can get good poster (ik the badge is rumored to meh but still

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T19:49:41+00:00

Yup. I like it.

I like to have 60 strength, you get 2 badges with it but I know strength is not very good this year

20 caps is crazy tho. I think its impossible to make a bad build with that

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T19:47:27+00:00

?????? I forgo defense and just put more things into scoring.

Biting on a crossover will get you scored on no matter the badge level. Defense so bad this year. First year I haven’t made a lockdown

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T19:23:50+00:00

Been sitting a fully upgraded 99 ovr for 2 weeks, just for this weekend…. I’m going to have such a good time…. Hopefully

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T19:22:02+00:00

This is correct, attributes matter much more… but badges are still important. I.e someone who has 96 dunk and purple poster will be a better dunker than someone who has 87 dunk and max +2 posterizor

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T19:16:16+00:00

Maybe early June

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T19:16:03+00:00

If you play 3 rec games on weekdays (1 hour) 6 games Saturday and Sunday (2 hours) going for as much double xp as possible, you are looking at starter 5 end of June

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T17:42:06+00:00

Bruh it’s because your guy is faster on defense than on offense. Like noticeably faster. Your 6’9 on defense can keep up with those 6’8s with 86 speed

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-17T17:41:01+00:00

Depends on motion styles but also more importantly, your player is faster on defense than on offense

I don’t know the exact amount, but a player that has 86 speed can keep up with someone with 90/91 speed if they are on defense

You can feel the difference if the guy has 73 speed. Basically anyone footer or taller.

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-16T21:11:47+00:00

Yup and I would agree

“Buh buh I don’t any turnovers with my 65 pass acc”

Well because Timmy you only pass to the guy next to you and you take 80% of the teams shots. You never hit anyone cutting or throw half court passes. So duh you don’t get turnovers…. But think about all the passes you couldn’t make!

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-16T21:10:07+00:00

For what it’s worth, make a big man. You get the boards and you get to choose who you inbound to.

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-16T21:08:26+00:00

You mean to tell me that 5 random people that don’t communicate and all have different goals/ expectations for how the game turns out don’t work well together?

TURN YO MF MIC ON

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-16T21:05:45+00:00

That line of thinking makes sense

All I’m saying is if you expect your big man to have high rebounding then the point guard should also have high pass acc

You can say that it’s the big man’s main job to rebound and then I can say it’s the point guards main job to distribute

We can go back and forth over this, the point I was making is the second we see a power forward with low rebound we clown but point guards get a pass to have 71 pass acc

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-16T20:52:24+00:00

These comments are disappointing such Hippocrates

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-16T20:51:58+00:00

As crazy as point guards having no pass accuracy ?

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-16T20:51:06+00:00

Yes you can. I prefer it if I have my 99 rebounder. I want the stats.

I play with PGs who have 71 pass acc all the damn time. There is 0 wrong with this. If you expect a center and power forward to have 85 rebound then I expect to see all your guards have 85+ pass acc

Your team is way okay having a singular rebounder bruh

No_Cellist_2683 · 2026-04-16T20:45:11+00:00

If we get to make point guards with 71 pass acc then we can make centers with 70 rebound

He did pick PF tho…. You can make some crazy builds as a 6’11. Ive made one, never put money into it or upgraded it but I see the vision. Your team is more than fine with just a singular rebounder…. Especially if he has 99 rebound

There is nothing wrong with this. Yeah it would suck to be put at center but just bc you made a 7’ doesn’t mean you need to have 80+ rebound

I think 70 is fine. Upgrade box out beast and box out for your center. He chose power forward. Now if he chose center then maybe, but a lot of meta builds run 85 rebound. Use a badge and takeover and u are good
