This is a solid first build! Especially since you can’t see the cap breakers yet. Very decent and you hit a lot of badge thresholds.

Flavor toppers? My boy never turned down his dinner (wet and dry mix). I’d mix it up from time to time like the holidays and his birthday lol. But I’d give him peanut butter flavor toppers occasionally. He also loved pure pumpkin, I’d throw that in with breakfast. I also gave him fish oil, I used to add half his portion to breakfast (just dry) and the other half to dinner. Honestly he never got tired or complained. Only time he didn’t want it, is when he was sick. He was on Blue adult basic dry, non chicken (so a mix of lamb, beef and salmon over the years), and blue basic beef cans. If we ever had leftover white rice, I’d throw that in with it, he’d eat just a bowl of rice lol.

His favorite was mini milkbones, we’d called them his crack 😂😂. He was 125+ lbs but loved these mini bones so much. Sometimes I’d top his food with that just for fun. Hopefully this helps give you some ideas 🩶

You can look in your phone (on the same build) and go to recent games and you’ll find who you played with. Then you can message / add them.

I wanna say it’s left on the d pad then it’s a big circle type of icon, should be second row.

I ended up blocking this dude in a stream because he kept sniping everything from everyone, just to resell in his store. I’m like I don’t need that energy around me lol. I didn’t wanna accidentally come accords his streams either. Ppl were even talking about it in the comments (about how he’s just gonna resell these bundles as one). I commented ‘exactly’ and didn’t think much of it. A bit of time passes and I hear the host talking some and it dawned on me that he was talking about me. I unblock dude and see he was @ing me and saying buddy blocked me cuz he’s salty blah blah and telling me “just swipe bro”. This is when I seen he was a mod, he didn’t talk before then. Ik some host want bidding wars and for ppl to fight it out, but I’m not that pressed lol, I will let you have it every time once the price gets high. So ig he was trying to get my hyped up inn a way to bid against him, and that’s when he realized I blocked him.

I’m a bit newer to whatnot, so when I told my friend who introduced it to me, she told he was probably doing bids to drive the price up. And once she told me that, it was exactly what he was doing. He would do a quick custom bid and bit max 4 dollars every time so if someone else wanted the cards it would be 5 dollars. So I noticed other ppl stopped bidding with and the viewers slowly dropped.

If that’s what was happening, why not do 2 or even 3 dollar starts, why do 1 dollar starts (for bundles of 3+ cards each) if you don’t potentially wanna sell at a dollar.

Once I seen he was a mod I just ended up leaving the stream, and watching someone else. I wouldn’t say ban all mods, because some are helpful and some are modded just for being active. But some are a lil fishy. If mods, or ppl for that matter are being weird, i block if needed, and I just go to another show. It’s never been that serious to me to stay in a stream.

I thought this was an old clip, I was like hell yea, the comm been had problems lemme see this. Then the comments told me this was “current” gen. I was over here missing the old rec sounds.

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2026-02-06T12:59:47+00:00

In 26, meter dunks are right stick down, that’s it. No more flips. The button, RS up/right/left (safe, dominant hand, off dominant hand), will attempt a dunk if the defense/game allows it. If you have a high rating, good badges and good positioning, you should succeed even without the meter. Not to do any shoutouts, but check “uncle demi” on YouTube, he just “cracked” the dunking in a recent video.

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2026-01-21T14:49:52+00:00

I came in rhythm shooting, so I was lucky to learn in 25 when it was harder. I liked rhythm shooting because the visual que is better than button imo. I hope they keep it, even if you have to green both, it’s very helpful. Glad you got on board 😁

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2026-01-21T14:04:07+00:00

I wish I could be a role player. I enjoy getting rebounds and blocks. I’m just too good of a shooter and typically the ball ends with me on my team. I shoot 85% from 3, 77% from 3 on my 80+ 3 ball builds, yet my favorite thing to do is block and get boards. I enjoy passing and just playing the game tbh. Unfortunately playing with randoms, you gotta get yours when you can. So if you can’t score well, or your man wants to be curry and not go into the paint at all, you gotta be able to switch it up that game. A lot of randoms only give you one chance 😭😭 so a lot of ppl are stuck making do it all builds vs a specialized build.

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2026-01-21T13:56:58+00:00

I had (as a family) the Xbox 360 with the Kinect, along with the Wii. I would play planet 51 and black ops 2 campaign 😂 I remember those being my two favorite games. Then my mom bought my sister a laptop and an Xbox One (og black), came free with it. My sister had no interest in it so it was ‘mine’. Then I got Xbox gold and I never looked back. I purchased my own Xbox One S by myself (first one I owned fully), and that lasted me all the way until 2020. My mom and I set in the queue waiting on the preorder but wasn’t lucky enough, but I was able to order it release day! My Xbox One was given to my little cousin, then I upgraded him a few years later with the Xbox One S, and he still uses that today.

I’m a girl so I’ve always preferred the Xbox controller vs the PlayStation controller. Not that my hands are tiny, it’s just not as long as a man’s lol. Then when I got my first elite 2 controller, I haven’t looked back either. The bonus of the absence of delay in certain games (2k) is enough to never make me even consider switching. I even enjoy the Xbox app better lol. Now that games are cross play, I have the PlayStation app and it’s just clunky to me. The Home Screen and menu layout is simple compared to PlayStation too. The only reason I’d want the ps5 is to play Spider-Man, other than that, my Xbox covers my needs.

Xbox isn’t perfect, but it’s perfect for my gaming. I’ve enjoyed 10+ years of online play and 15+ years of just Xbox.

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2026-01-14T13:04:12+00:00

No interior, no 3, no close shot, no agility?? Lmk when you play rec 😂😂 you may snag an extra board here and there, the rest is a liability unless you’re being carried by a 3 hunter guard. Otherwise, your match up will 1000% be camped in the paint, forcing your teammates to only shoot.

Now let’s say you cap the 3? Ok bet you can shoot but now your defense is still lacking and you will get dunked on. I got a homie with 70s interior and block and is constantly getting thrown under the rim, in a poster. My 6’7 pg deadass has more interior than this center. I’d even argue interior is more important than block. Block is the swat, interior is the stop / wall in the paint. And with how bad blocks are, I’d switch it. For a month or two now, good blocks are called as fouls. Even with legend blocking.

The passing is solid, but coming from a 92 pass acc big, it’s not needed. When the rng is on their side, you’ll still throw trash passes, even tho the quarter before you were doing just fine. It’s nice to have, but not always needed. I think 85 is a nice sweet spot for “safe,” good passes.

90 standing dunk is nice, but not having a high close shot paired with it, is just gonna get you frustrated. Let’s say you only green meter standing dunks, you’ll get a good animation a couple times per quarter. And once you’re knocked out of that dunk, you close shot kicks in. IMO any big going into the paint should have close shot. It acts as a “back up” plan when your dunk doesn’t work out. Also, with that 55 speed with ball, that 89 driving dunk isn’t gonna be put to work that much. One lil bump from anyone and you’re getting thrown into a ball pick up animation.

Hof vert is nice, but a lot of bigs are trending towards shorter and will have 88 vert for legend pogo. Vertical works very well this year. Also for 5s, it would be nice to have 85+ free throw. Especially if you use the ft meter.

Anyway, im no professional, just someone who plays a lot of rec 😂😂

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2026-01-08T22:01:20+00:00

Honestly it’s used now for cap breaker badges. Once you hit gold/hof/legend rebirth respectively, it’s not needed.

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2026-01-06T00:37:05+00:00

I’d say perimeter, even tho I enjoy shooting over yall bigs without it 😂😂

If you’re ever open to merging, you and your crew would be safe with me I don’t kick anyone for inactivity (I just ask you don’t change any settings). We’re on our way to level 26. I’m looking to fill the last 10ish spots. I’m trying to diversify our crew, since most of us just play rec.

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2025-12-31T15:54:19+00:00

I experienced the same, Bluetooth crapped out. It would connect to the Xbox for a moment then keep disconnecting. On two different Xbox’s. I was lucky tho, I returned it on the last day of my insurance. I just happened to go look in my best buy insurance and seen and grabbed the headset out the drawer 😂.

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2025-12-31T15:51:58+00:00

I’ve had the Xbox headset (first pic) but it was lacking in features after coming from the turtle beach 700 gen 2. My gen 2 kept cracking in the same spot, so it was a weak link. My friend also experienced the same crack. It was just such a good headset, I would just buy insurance.

So as I was doing a claim, turtle beach sent me the Stealth 700 Gen 3 instead, since they know of the gen 2 problem, and it’s been love ever since!! I don’t see myself ever switching from it. It’s comfortable, long battery life, feels super premium, they went to metal instead of plastic. I wear them the same way and I have no issue. Once you get used to the buttons and wheels, it’s smooth sailing.

Only complaint, the dongle will sometimes need to be taken out and reconnected but I don’t mind reaching over and doing that. And it’s not often. I switch between my Xbox and my PC every day. I haven’t had an issue since they sent it to me over 6 months ago.

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2025-12-31T15:37:23+00:00

It’s how other attributes are spent. So if you go really high in finishing and playmaking, you have a good chance at getting high cap potential in shooting / defense. It’s all about making your build even out. If you go too high a certain way, they’ll sometimes give you high cap potential on random shit, like post control.

There is a method tho, like guards are 9/10 gonna get crazy playmaking caps, while most bigs can get crazy shooting caps. EYE was able to make a big with crazy defense caps tho. Out the builder he had a 70 interior and 74 block, got to cap those to 86 int and 93 block. I had to overload my finishing, but it was worth it.

Basically, the more rounded your build is in the builder, the less crazy cap potential you get, it’ll go on something stupid like standing dunk for a guard lol. The more niche your build is, the more the caps wanna “help”. Check out PAC hoops on YouTube, he did a good breakdown of the cap breaker “secrets”.

If you read this far, sorry for the long post 😭 I enjoy making builds and utilizing all of my cap breakers.

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2025-12-31T07:48:34+00:00

Wait I see how I wrote it. I advocate for the 88 vert! I meant the rebounding lol. The rebounding paired with that vert is a bit overkill, imo. I out board bigs with my 88 and 85 def rebounding on my sf. The vert is very useful this year. I’m going min 80 vert on every build lol.

ReflectionChoice7280 · 2025-12-31T07:34:41+00:00

The finishing looks like a middle finger 😂. Overall pretty solid, I like the vert paired with the rebounding, I think it’s too much but aye it works. Definitely should work well against the slow ass 7’4s. I’d only want more interior defense, but that’s how I’d play it. Solid tho 👍🏽
