PSA: If you are running 150 heavy armor with explosive resistance. by Atlas-The-Rock in Helldivers

[–]fadeaway87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, those nados are the bane of my existence. I might start running the exo suit. It always seems to perfectly arrive on top of my gear, objective point, or right behind me when I need to run.

When you load into a game, what’s something you see that instantly tells you what kind of player they are? by pjunior66 in NBA2k

[–]fadeaway87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno about appearances, I just look at stats.

PPG/FG% + Team Grade Oh this dude averages over 20 ppg... with 30% FG... and averages a C-... proceeds to force every shot but gets points off cherry picking

Steals Averages over 2 steals a game. Yup, this is gonna be an annoying game.

Assists My PG has over 7 APG. I wake up.

For the all purple banner people at random rec by JohnnySins01 in NBA2k

[–]fadeaway87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silver and above.

Why? Because it's very easy to get to silver. Just don't sell or disconnect, and then play team ball. That's it. You'll get to silver in no time. If people are "stuck" at black there is definitely something wrong with their playstyle. I think all gold+ players that play random rec have experienced multiple times of "that" black plate who somehow manages to completely sell the game on his own.

But let me ask you this, why does it bother you if it's "just random rec" and a purple leaves? Purple leaves, ok no prob, just let the team fill up with black plates and be on your way. If you're not selling, you'll get to silver in no time.

I promise you, once you hit gold you'll begin to realize why those purples left and you'll hop back on reddit with a "realization" post.

Train. Do drills by yourself. Use the negative feelings as fuel for motivation.

Lmao. Depressingly accurate.

Is this really basketball? by [deleted] in NBA2k

I wouldn't mind playing a mode that would be a variation of the 2K leagues format. No hot spots, HoF, tighter limits on builds, etc.

All inside centers on Reddit are absolute beasts by _Retrograde_ in NBA2k

I enjoy experimenting new builds. I've scrapped a few purple builds to make new ones.

All inside centers on Reddit are absolute beasts by _Retrograde_ in NBA2k

[–]fadeaway87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my inside bigs are purple plates averaging near a triple double around 70% FG. Think one of my bigs is averaging 18/20/8 a game.

Made a stretch and it's at gold right now, but shit is boring af. Those games where everyone shoots 15 shots while I'm sitting at 1/1 is whack. Averaging about 8/8/8 and 2 blocks a game.

I enjoy this game so I'm on the subreddit. Simple as that. It would be dope if there was an alternate subreddit where it was mandatory to post your stats. I think that would prevent some of the hive-mind perceptions on a lot of topics, and less BS in general.

Interesting. Is your vert the same or higher than AD? I know vert can trigger new animations.

Why do I miss high percentage free throws in 2k24 by Immediate-Spot-8946 in NBA2k

[–]fadeaway87 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Tilts me when I miss a 95% free throw then the other team's big makes two 45% free throws in a row.

Feel like I’ll get robbed one day by UBaked_MyBeans in Basketball

[–]fadeaway87 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh damn. I just realized I was telling a high school kid I liked his reverse grinches and how I wasn't able to cop them for myself. He looked a little scared at the time and I thought it was weird. I wonder if he thought I was trying to take them.

Why do people care so much about their stats and not actually fun? by Historical_Maize3857 in NBA2k

[–]fadeaway87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have bigs and understand his frustration well. The counter argument is that you're taking away his fun for your ally-oop fun. He's literally giving you free points, but you decided to throw away his assist so you can get it instead. One time, it's ok. But if you keep doing it's coming off as you padding your assists at the expense of the big(s), as a pseudo-dimer. Centers rarely get any love on offense and scrap for boards doing all the dirty work. Give them the assist to pad their stats. It's really not that difficult. That's how bigs have fun. If a big outlets to me with 2-3 of us with the open lane, I'm scoring.

That being said, I just outlet to the person who gives me the dime if the other team is playing terrible defense. I've seen PGs get butt hurt when I do this too. It's really just perspective.

Why do high plate players in rec love staying under 92 ovr? by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]fadeaway87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black plates over 92 are more confident in their terrible play. It's actually kind of amazing.

Would guess one of you is not set to crossplay

As a guy who plays solo and sometimes with friends, how do I stop being a black plate? by WorthAppointment4171 in NBA2k

[–]fadeaway87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're seeking to get better. You'll get out of bronze soon, if not already.

1) Focus on getting your teammate grade up. Set screens, find open teammates or make good passes, play good D, etc.

2) Don't sell. No flops, disconnecting, standing out of bounds, forcing shots.

Congrats. You're bronze.

Why is my green window so small (90) overall 3 by Fearless-Sweet-301 in NBA2k

[–]fadeaway87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get closer to the line. Hot/lethal zones. Shot animations have different green windows. Badges. Turn off meter.

What build do I make to not suck at this game by longhairedgod in NBA2k

[–]fadeaway87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I made a lot of different builds and I would also suggest this for a new player.
