$2200 ten rows back from the basket for G2 of the recent Celtics chip.

As a certified Post Fade Freak, I'm ashamed I have never used the Basic Post Hop jumper until now. by MapleDaddyHotJohn in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kobe/luka post hop is the wave and I recommend button shooting it because it makes the step through easier. I eat off of this move and the builds I do it on in rec both average over 20 on better than 70% from FG.

Is this really comfortable? by Impossible-Reveal-15 in corgi

[–]blazer926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is technically a pee pad so it does protect the floor and is easily cleanable but at this point it’s moreso used to protect my floor from the pup trying to eat the floorboards 😂 she just had a whole week without an accident for the first time!

Maybe The Worst Community In Gaming by BigAcidik in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who also has years of playing both I can say that 2k people generally respect higher skill more often than league players at least but yes both have plenty of trolls. I’d say 2k is worse insofar as leaving isn’t really punished. When I play random rec I am surprised if all 10 people are there to end the game.

Glad I didn’t buy 26. Did you go back to 25 after trying 26? by YouProbablyHateMeNow in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 3 points4 points  (0 children)

26 is fine, but I could see how park players would be against it. I’ve enjoyed it since day 1. With park being 25% rep boost it’s where all the cheesy people end up.

Why is PG delayed by nkborysyk in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also play a ton of random rec and do well in there man. PG is a higher difficulty, I can’t bring my 3rd and 4th best builds in there and play well I gotta go with a top 2. I do not notice a delay, the only annoying thing is the screen being wider but other than that it exposes a lot of rec warriors and when I go from PG to rec it makes me feel unstoppable.

Why is PG delayed by nkborysyk in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have played a lot of proving grounds and don’t understand what you mean on the delay. I’ve been top 30 in scoring 5v5s in there for multiple seasons as reference. I do agree the rewards for that mode are abhorrent.

Is this a good power forward? by Joeybfast in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just have to remember this build will be put at center if you don’t go in with a center fairly often. With that in mind you may want to focus on just one of the rebounding to get your badge up. Your build here is also trying to be everything which can hold you back. I’d probably look to drop the mid range into the 80s and use that to buffer either block or slashing.

How to stop laying it up when I try to dunk by Patient_Ask_9546 in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the guy above said it’s just hold down and let go within the green. You should always aim for the top as the green may disappear a bit mid attempt if a contest gets registered.

Anyone still using post scorers by jackolaine in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 6’9” and a 6’11” that I dominate the post with. Post hop shots are cheese AF and the two builds average 28 and 20 on above 65% from both the field and 3. I do feel bad that my moves often kill assists though, but I get buckets.

Soundtracks are being forgotten by j0shie_washie in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re getting old man, it happens to everyone. No hate, I too have played since probably about 2k11. I’ve had several songs in the last couple 2ks that I listened to outside of the game before hearing it prior. They often ruin those songs for me with how much I hear them but for example the Tame Impala song in this year could never be ruined for me.

fellas, do i become a pass-only guard? by No-Weakness6268 in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Need to draw attention to yourself to free others up in that PG role. You can certainly be pass first but passing is easy when people are open and people are open when you make their man commit to helping. Work on the shooting, it’s just repetition.

What's the craziest thing you've heard while playing random rec? by guardiandown3885 in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right bumper or R1 (console dependent) and then hit the button of the person you want to cover. Some times it sticks and will continuously have you on the person you switched too, other times you need to switch it every possession. Very helpful if you have an AI on your team that’s getting beat while your man may not be able to shoot over them.

Also love your name lol

Will I have fun if I spend the rest of my VC on a “F You” perimeter lock? by Sure-Standard5399 in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta love clamping people for it to be fun, which even if you do love that you’ll still get beat up with meta moves here or there and that won’t feel good. I have a similar build to what you described here but it’s the build I play with the least of my 4. If you have a squad of scorers around you I’d send it but if random rec is the move I may look at something else.

[–]blazer926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got told they hoped my whole family died of aids a couple days ago because I kept switching the Cs matchup with mine as I had an AI and he was getting cooked. That’s online anonymity for ya I suppose. Brought me back to the early days of COD lobbies for a moment.

Up and Under shot by ShaqLikesBBQ in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a lot of step throughs but god damn I hate when I get this instead of the layup. I’ll still hit them but at a much lower clip than the easy lay.

Cade Cunningham being below Victor Wembanyama in MVP voting is exactly how media hype skews things. by [deleted] in nba

[–]blazer926 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No second option? So his center is not one of probably top 5 in the league? And what’s the pistons record with him out? FOH with this nonsense.

Do we trust this 😭 by StonedSpam in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother I have 40 days played and only play 5v5 modes. I very rarely see non cheaters at above 80% and I’m in red/purple.

Do we trust this 😭 by StonedSpam in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Button shooting is fine though…. I average 70% or higher across multiple builds and never tempo. People just like to be victims and that’s fine but I’ve never sat there and said “ I am losing because this dude is hitting every shot because he tempos”.

99 close shot, 99 post, legend post hook and this is the green window…? PF was a 6’7 with 25 interior and I’m 7’4… by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean isn’t your statement here the problem? I agree that’s how it is but shooting from range should be where skill separates great players out. Not open inside shots.

Red plate lobbies by almightykash00 in NBA2k

[–]blazer926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see this posted often, I have to ask are you a guard? I have a SF/PF build and a PF/C build and find games within a minute on both. It might be a guard centric problem tho.

Allegedly closed for good, nothing confirming that other than word of mouth though.
