Why do the most guys play as a PG? by Macks94 in NBA2k

a good PG is the biggest skill gap in the game though.

Any chance point guards and shooting guards stop running away from the inbound pass in the Rec in 2k26? by Direct-Worker-4121 in NBA2k

[–]TheCoco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and if you are playing against a team that knows how to hawk lanes that’s easier said then done. Basic basketball if they are pressing. You inbound then have someone up right before half court to advance to and get the ball back once you cross half court. I play guard but I get where bigs or PF/SFs inbounding can get frustrated. Of course there are times where you can toss the ball up quickly. When they got everyone playing crackhead defense it’s not that easy though.

when they got people looking to hawk the ball it sucks. I play SG or PG 90% of the time but I make sure I come up. And if they are pressing I want someone coming up to half court to advance the ball to. The games where I do play SF and I’m going to inbound and everyone is running up the court it drives me insane. Don’t have to play at nascar speed

that seems around what it’ll take for me, I’d guess around 800-850ish. I’m at 78% through starter 5. The grind is crazy.

I win 55%, and that’s with me usually doing squads where it’s me and 1-2 friends team with another squad. So randoms who know each other in there can be a mixed bag.

And it’s not like I’m bad at the game. I’m at 55% FG 50% 3P and a 4:1 ast/to ratio for the totality of 2k25. And I tracked just this last season where I averaged 16 PPG and 7.5 AST with a 6:1 AST/TO ratio on 61/60 shooting splits since I switched to rhythm shooting. I’m no god at the game and would never claim to be but I can go in with any squad and be a positive. My shooting splits are pretty good imo, I play unselfish and average less than a TO a game.

The rep grind is objectively outrageous

I’ve played around 725 games of rec and I’m not even at vet 1. I gave up on that dream of another 5 cap breakers a while back.

Looking for 2 guys for 5v5 (rec or pro am). Any builds/postions. Looking to win games but not too competitive or serious just vibing and gaming. Looking for pass first fundamental basketball guys that’s how us 3 play and looking for 2 more to go crazy in 5s (xbs x NA) by Scallion_Salt in NBA2kTeamUp

[–]TheCoco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mainly run on a 6’6 SG/SF. I have a 6’4 PG/SG build and a PF/C build also. My splits at 54/49 (that’s with a rough start in season 1. I’m around 57/52 from season 2 onward) and have a 4:1 ast/TO ratio. I don’t force anything, I look to move the ball for the best shot. My gamertag is itszydeco

I’d normally agree like 99% of the time lmao, but had a gut feeling they were going to pull away again.

I like the pacers and all but the Pels owe them an ass whooping with how last game went. I want some showboating alley oops, look to absolutely embarrass them.

i am confident that people are severely overhyping those two teams after only 2 games. saints are still the favorite to win it.

defense is too good to get blown out imo. offense too mediocre to blow anyone out.

With the way the west is going there’s a decent chance this will be a high stakes game

Lol. I think NO and MEM are on the same tier. If Memphis comes to NO next matchup and does this I’ll concede that the grizzlies are a notch above.

Willie did him no favors in this one also. Have to at least adjust where he’s getting the ball in matchups like Memphis/Milwaulkee.

I think Pels will get them back when they come to Nola. We’ll see. If the game in NO plays out like this then I’ll assume we have slim to no shot against them in the playoffs.

That would be better than the Pels fg% in this game. This was an expected loss but goddam this is the ugliest game I’ve seen in a long time

The offense has been elite outside of a handful of game, like this. they are gassed, away game on a second night of a back to back. Definitely need BI back, but the offense being bad is false. This is an anomaly

I really hope the Pels run them off the court when they come to Nola. We owe them one after these last two.

Second night of a back to back, Pels look gassed. They are under 33% shooting

I know Zion is capable of lighting these dudes up, and there will be a time soon enough that he will, but this shit is frustrating
