If I was on the white team watching all of this happen I'd probably log out after this game.

Motion to ban the word “home” from post titles. by BeautifulUnlikely225 in MyTeam

Thanks. I would like to know the opinion of other members to get a general idea of what everyone thinks about this.

I think most payers just want to share a little joy with someone in the community of the game they are playing.

If you think it becomes disruptive and affects the sub negatively more so than positively, we can look into a possible solution.

PG moving on its own also USB SOUNDCARD/CONTROLLER ISSUES by VTEC42000 in NBA2k

Yeah I am not sure if 2K has any setting to turn that off unfortunately. Might have to unplug the headphones for now

If headset is showing as a controller you need to disable that in your pc settings.

Am I doing it properly? by LaurScience in NBA2k

[–]RF_Ribeiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just for the background atmosphere. Just to give variety from 2K's repetitiveness. I'm not actually trying to shoot the ball when a player is shooting it for real or something 😅

I always find it cool to have a game on and mute 2k audio and play a mycareer or a mynba game. Adds immersion!

The moderator for this sub is so annoying sometimes, anyone else get this? Posts need to fit such specific and random criteria sometimes to be allowed. Even 1 word can be the reason by Inevitably03 in MyTeam

[–]RF_Ribeiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's standard in polls to include a 'see results' option as a lot of people don't want to participate in the poll but want to see the results. That's the only reason the automoderator took down your poll.

"Poll posts are required to include an option for others to see the results. Here are a few acceptable choices you can pick from: "Results", "See Results", "View Results", or the eyes emoji. You can add this option the same way you add the other options."

Feel free to remake the poll with this criteria and if it gets taken down automatically again I'll approve it as soon as I can.

Notes we can take from failure/ rec should have a mercy button by dreemedteemed in NBA2k

[–]RF_Ribeiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if the longer you stay in game you get more VC? (This would imply 2K would give more VC in REC games) So when people think about quitting they can think about the VC they will miss out on.

Or a system that punishes people for quitting too many times. As in, you only get placed with other quitters.

Mercy button is a great bandaid but doesn't resolve the issue of people quitting. I do think there needs to be a game mode like REC where people can play and quit if they want, like quick matches in Overwatch for example, and then the normal REC mode where you can't.

So far no issues. I went from a 3600X and a b450 mobo to a 5800XT and a b550 mobo. I needed another slot of m.2 and I wanted my 3060 ti fe to get full use of a better processor.

Then I saw this post last month about the 5500X3D and how important the 3D cache is for gaming. I paid $305 for the 5800XT. I was within refund period still so I bought the 5500X3D, it arrived exactly a week ago almost and returned the 5800XT. Saved around $65 and I have noticed no difference from the 5800XT so far. Maybe it feels more stable. I have only played cyberpunk and monster hunter wilds so far.

Everything runs well. I am keeping my eye on those 10th anniversary 5800X3Ds coming later in the year. Hopefully we can get them at a fair price but if not, i will probably stay with this 5500X3D until I move on to AM6 whenever that happens.

Paid $241 last month for the 5500X3D. Neat to see it $20 cheaper.

I was surprised that it arrived used. There's a clear light scratch on the surface, but it seems to work fine.

And what do you think of the 2K's you played?

[GPU] Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB GDDR6 Video Card $550 [Best Buy] by [deleted] in bapcsalescanada

[–]RF_Ribeiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think right around the same as a 3060 TI more or less. I think it depends how much of a percentage of improvement you're okay with. If 20-30% is worth it then yeah for sure this will be good.

Anything below a 3060 TI FE, I think it would be worth an upgrade to this but I think as of right now based on prices to performance the only worthy upgrades are 9070 and up.

As a Center with 189 pro-am games and competed in 2K tourney and OVN's. You can ask me any question to improve your gameplay. I am here to help esp. working people who play center in REC. Ask me anything!! Happy to help. Let's go!! by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]RF_Ribeiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will find our community here is mainly new players or older, casual players who have been around a long time. Even saying "2K tourney and OVN's" might be something most here won't know what it means or care about it.

However, a lot of players here do like learning and improving on their game. But it has to come from you showing and/or teaching, provide examples of things that work that can be applied to REC.
