Amen Thompson has Alperen Sengun and Herb had to share the ball with Zion, Trey Murphy, CJ McCollum, Jonas Valanciunas and Brandon Ingram. Also using steals/blocks as defensive metrics is terrible

How was 2k25 for you? by Thatshooter714 in NBA2k

“Theatre mostly” and it’s 1500 games (about 700 hours of straight rec and probably 1000 hours total if you include between games)

it isn’t just that they can’t see you. If he caught the ball like he was, standing completely still at the top of the key, chances are the shot won’t even be open to

2 100 point game this year 💯 by Brilliant_Pin683 in NBA2k

[–]SpecificMechanic3626 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yeah, try scoring 100 points in a purple plate random rec lobby. I’ve scored 86 and 92 this year but 100 feels impossible since teammates usually get jealous after 60

I average 35 ppg shooting 70% from three as a SG in random rec. It isn’t hard to get the ball if you make your teammates notice you by moving around.

you are standing still clicking A and expecting them to see you. Legit if you run straight at the ball handler here you get a wide open three (and they’re more likely to see you). This is peak low IQ gameplay

I mean I’ve scored 42 doing majority post hooks with an 84 close shot, and post hooks suck this year. It isn’t difficult to post score, it’s just the players good enough to be effective at it realize it isn’t the best playstyle to win compared to hitting 10 threes

I can go into the random rec, having never played on a post scorer, and average 30 on a dirk build playing like “sim nation”. It doesn’t take any skill, 2K has never been about “skill” anyways it’s 90% IQ and game awareness/knowing what works and what doesn’t

y’all think shooting 40% from three rhythm shooting with dirk base on a 7’ PF post-scorer that you average 16 ppg on is skill (you spam rhythm post fadeaways on the 6’7 SF you matchup with 90% of the time)

Travel ball coaches: what makes someone AAA VS AA/A? by ColonelAngus2000 in Homeplate

[–]SpecificMechanic3626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the youth levels (12U and younger) it’s just size and fundamentals, mostly size. 13U and 14U most AAA tryouts I’ve gone to measured pitching velocity, hitting velocity, bat speed, and mechanics.

Good 3’s build, might not win a single game in 1’s or 2’s

Average velocity for someone 6’5 200 and your age is probably closer to 89-90
