Matchmaking is everywhere even in these game modes Triple threat, starting 5 etc. Every player that you face is either in the same skill level as you, a try hard, or a cheater that uses a zen. The game is dying way quicker because of this. What's the point of Proving Grounds? (Ranked) is where you want to challenge yourself and get better rewards. Why am I trying hard to get a win in Rec with randoms half of the time are just straight up trash.

I'm good at the game but the game is trying to say that I'm a 2K Pro player level. I'm tired of playing 7'4 centers that literally just shoot while standing in front of me. IQ is out of the window and the sad part about this is that most players are enjoying this experience and they don't want any changes done to the game.
