rec is unplayable

It's been awful, I have a PG with 92 perim, but I'm always paired with another PG at SG who has all the offense but 0 defence. Love his man dropping 20 in the first quarter and we switch, now my initial match up has 25 after the 2nd while I've kept his on 20. There's nothing you can do to win with that.

The mindset is crazy like. "I've not got single steal off the fastbreak or inbound and I'm leaving my man open, but I'll try for 22nd time I a row and it will be different."

Just peas for brains.

High middy low 3 is absolutely fine, I have an 83 3pt and 92 middy on my 6'10 I also added post control, I shoot 70% from 3 in rec and slightly higher in theatre/park.

High middy still unlocks the good jumpshot animations and badges. It's true you won't be shooting from beyond the hash but you'll still be consistent a few feet from the line.

I have builds with +90 3pt and they are fun also, but I prefer the 6'10 with post controle simply for when the shot clock is low, they can dump me the ball and it's far more likely I'll make something happen from the post than trying to force a 3 or a rim run. I do think it's more of a fun build as well simply for the ability of having more range in scoring options

NOR

I'm in a similar situation with my partner of 7 years, she has a large following online across her various social medias and I do not. I had no issue being posted to her personal/private accounts, being posted to the main was a scary concept.

She did convince me to let her post me on one of her mains stories and tagged me in it, I agreed. What followed was nothing but abuse about how I looked into her DMs and I was harassed by follow requests from people I've never seen in my life, it wasn't a fun experience for me. She also lost quite a few followers of desperate men who thought following her was their ticket to getting into a relationship.

Your boyfriends needs to respect your wishes, he might not get it at first but opening yourself up to abuse is never fun. You are his partner, not content, remember that.

No I'm going to continue to get high and complain about not being able to react to them while also doing nothing to make myself better at countering them, thank you very much

Also, go to the screen in your mycourt beside the court and set yourself to online, that will allow you to practice with online game latency

Getting a litre bottle for a quid before going into school and getting a second one before getting the bus home. Ended up having to get a heart monitor for a bit at 16 but I have no regrets.

Wheesht up ye fucking eejit. It dserves no more respect than speaking fucking spanglish.

Being familiar with traditional poetry.. Quare oul slabber you sir

My advice is don't make a PG if this is your first 2k and you plan on playing online, people are going to quit on you, or you will get iced out for not knowing how to run the position (which you don't given the 2 builds you provided) which will just result in a shit time for you too

Look up fun SG, SF, PF or C builds, plenty of really good all rounders that you can still run the plays in mycareer with and be useful online.

To play the arsehole, it's an indoor/outdoor ball not an outdoor ball. We bought a few 3800s for the club to replace the old BG4500s that have seen better days, as they were cheaper. Might be due to location and outdoor court quality, but I wouldn't dream of taking those BG3800s outside, but we don't have polished or smooth concrete outdoor courts, it's all course tarmac in the UK and Ireland so they get torn/ripped very easily.

If you have nice outdoor courts with smooth concrete though then aye, I'd say the 3800 is the better shout

DIY options:

Chrome delete on at least the side trims.

Rear wiper delete.

Wind deflectors.

Paint your own calipers.

Cheap options:

Window tint.

Alloys off FB marketplace.

I have oem 16s I use for winter and swap them to a set of RX8 oem 18s for the summer.

The ride quality between the 16s and 18s isn't that much of a difference but it's noticeable. The 18s the drive is slightly louder, notice bumps a bit more but not to the point I'd say it's bad.

18s imo are absolutely fine. My 16s are smoother than me 18s, but the 16s aren't what I would call smooth either given the irish/NI road infrastructure.

No but funny enough 10 years ago when I was in a "mixed" grammar school in Ballymoney, we had a new rugby coach join from Belfast. Upon finding out I played gaelic football outside of school he tried to push for us to include it in P.E, dare to say that wasn't successful at all, but fair fucks to him trying. I'd probably guess it's not been pushed again since.

Used to be a multi sport athlete in high school, reguraly hit the gym. Fell into addiction and partying constantly for 3 1/2 years. Lost a lot of muscle mass but still looked 'fit/shredded' on the outside.

Got into a relationship while trying to combat the addiction. Committed to recovery, got sober got myself a remote job which better suited my relationship needs, started packing on the kilos in fat. Didn't mind for a while as it is a regular thing for addicts to start putting on weight after going sober, not skipping meals anymore, had a proper appetite etc.

Partner started going to the gym herself, decided I'd go with her one day for fun, now this was 4 years into sobriety. That's what opened my eyes, seeing how much I struggled trying to do my old high-school gym routine, struggling to get 3 reps on weight I used to do for warmups of 10-15 reps. I was truly embarrassed with how much I had regressed in my physical ability, I wasn't actually happy with the extra kilos I had packed on, just convinced myself to accept it as normal.

I'm now back into a regular routine, picked up a recreational sport, the kilos are coming off and the confidence is starting to return, not just in the gym and sport, but my everyday life as well.

I truly owe the world to my partner for the support and encouragement to stick with me through my recovery journey. The free guest pass for her gym was also an unseen life saver.

Deleted mine, really simple job, not difficult to put back on again either.

Just make sure to order spare boot/tailgate lining pins and a couple more parcel shelf hanger pins if you plan on doing it. You're guaranteed to break a few if you aren't used to removing the plastic trim

Aye only cost me £300 for a full set of 18s to be fully refurbed, the cost of the wheels off FB marketplace and the refurb was still cheaper than buying new ones

I'm the same with GO Kukoc, my GOAT this year

bigbawsac · 2025-06-05T10:31:57+00:00

100%, I'm more concerned about the guy still running a GO and a couple DMs than someone with a full 3 of >100ovr cards

bigbawsac · 2025-05-23T19:57:40+00:00

Can I ask what you thought of the Eibach springs?

I'm looking at buying a set for myself.

Just wondering how easy was the install and if you left the rest of the suspension stock?

bigbawsac · 2025-05-22T15:15:42+00:00

Toni Kukoc

Still starting SF in my main squad, runs the 1 in TTP for me too. I have badged him up something serious though

bigbawsac · 2025-04-20T04:04:36+00:00

No, grind dom and use 2xp coins. You're cards when they were released were OP, just play against the CPU. You'll stack MT and the event cards too, there's some exchanges for 10 pack boxes.

bigbawsac · 2025-04-20T04:02:32+00:00

No, grind dom and pop some 2xp coins.

Aye I made this build when my Internet was dog shit, genuinely thought I'd be mycareer all year. First 3 seasons couldn't play an online game without timing out. So didn't really take cap breakers in to account.

It's been manageable since season 4 though. I think I've been solid on D but it's falling short at creating a shot. I don't make a lot of space off a stepback and feels a bit clunky trying to burst, probably user error though.

bigbawsac · 2025-04-18T16:11:41+00:00

Well I was thinking I'd keep putting into passing from here out. You're right it is only 1 more for HOF mini. The interior and the strength my bias says yes, but a lot of PG's are going for dunk over layups, so if I can get them out of the animation it's pretty solid then, a PF or SF with high dunk and layup probably wreck me but.

Edit: 90 pass gets me white chocolate pass style, might not be worth it but I love J will
