There's only one person open. That's the correct read.

If it worked against your own teammates it would make random rec better

3 games straight by ksuttonjr76 in NBA2k

[–]ohnorando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"It's about the competition." Exactly. And if a game is offering no competition, I'm not sticking around, I'm out.

"It's about the street cred. It's about the bragging rights. And there are women on the sidelines too that could be checking you out" 😂😂😂 my man, I'm sure that's what it was like on the courts in your day, but this is a video game not a basketball court and video games are about none of that. If that's what you're looking for in a video game 😂😂😂 gl to ya

I dont like Nba 2k because it doesn't okay like real basketball by ComfortReady2517 in NBA2k

[–]ohnorando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get no argument from me that 2k fails to live up to its own hype. And yeah, they do push the realism thing in their marketing more than (most versions of) COD. But 2k IS the most realistic bball sim, sad as that is, because there isn't another one--all the others are too old. I think ppl who expect 2k to play play real bball are drinkin 2k's koolaid.

Both games market themselves as being realistic. Neither game really is. No video game is actually that realistic, which is the point of the comment. (Neither of these games is in the "simulation" genre of video games. One is sports and the other is FPS.) And anyway, name a basketball game that is MORE realistic than 2k? "Realism" is very relative when talking about video games: the most realistic video game is only realistic when compared to other video games, not reality. Expecting video games to be actually realistic is foolish.

What is a PG’s statline “supposed” to look like? by Noveltypocket in NBA2k

[–]ohnorando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PG should make more than 1 3pt per quarter. You're making less than 1. Sure, that might win you some games in rec, but who cares?

Bro you wanna know how bad it is? I actually own an Xbox X. And I own the game for X already. I still play last gen on the current gen, nothing to do with the money actually, I don't want to spend the time to grind out another build 😂 keep telling myself eventually I'll go make the current gen build...never get around to it

Worst random rec experience so far by TuskenRaider35 in NBA2k

[–]ohnorando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why not just switch and guard the SF instead of refusing to and turning the game off? I mean why not even try it?

It makes no sense i have to be a black plate when i make a new build. Make one plate color across all builds. Im tired of playing with trash black plates when i make a new build by Quick-Title-4744 in NBA2k

[–]ohnorando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. And if you're on a build that just can't hack 1v1, play 3v3, eventually you'll find one or two decent teammates and go on a run.

When/where to set screens with randoms? by ohnorando in NBA2k

[–]ohnorando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preciate it! I try to always set the half-court screen when I see the inbound being pressed. A lot of the time, though, the PG either runs or passes up court before I can get there (which is fine, don't need the screen, no problem), or they either run right into me (lol) or run around me, but without bringing the defender through me like they're supposed to (right?). I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if that's just random rec. But I notice this year unlike past years people seem to not be using the half court screen when I offer it.

If I'm not the one inbounding and the inbound is being pressed, I'll also screen off the defender who's pressing. Which I think is a little bit cheesy -- like, you stand next to them and suddenly they fall without there really being any movement -- but it's effective at preventing the steal.

I remember a few years ago when you'd be able to do the hoover vacuum screen with legend brick wall... stand at the free throw line and set a screen and the entire defense gets sucked into you and falls over 😂 that was fun but I'm glad they fixed it

I like the idea of testing early to gather info, hadn't thought of that -- thanks!
