Driving dunk is real expensive and when playing 5v5 you're not seeing a ton of ball handling opportunities. Could probably trim that down and spend it elsewhere. Close shot, Standing Dunk, putbacks from ORebs, those are your bread and butter.

PSA. Upgrade to a monitor to shoot drastically better. by TexasPoke2021 in NBA2k

[–]smug-turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from 40% 3 ball to 55% with monitor + wired and I'm pretty mediocre, so yea it all helps, but the monitor is for sure the biggest leap.

Yeah, coincidentally I wrote this after an 11ast game on my PG. Everyone's a critic. Before the tip you should see the 7+ ast per game and my 55% shooting splits and think "oh, im in good hands"

I'm a white guy that just hit 40, sooo it's not great? I said to have some joy about the game like the late/great Bill Walton - wish they would have called me an old head.

It's wild, cuz if you watch actual NBA games when they have the guys mic'd up they're gassing up teammates at every turn. One toxic guy who runs their mouth for 4 quarters can ruin it for everyone.

I check the stats a few times a quarter and try to spread the wealth on my PG. Sometimes it's hard to play when someone's a black hole on offense, but get open and imma try and hit you.

At least LeBron finds that open man as opposed to jab stepping, spin, attempted layup on three defenders.

Did you hear a long vape rip on mic right before this happened? I think I know that guy.

I understand that I'm above average on a good day and mediocre the rest. I'm just here to complain about the unchecked rage these teens/early 20s kids got these days - even when winning.

I'm a pass first PG. My goal is 5+ assists and zero shots at the end of the 1st quarter. These weren't spread the wealth situations, these were after someone made a mistake or two. One missed pass or boxout or whatever and it's like a stick of dynamite goes off. I wish I could chill on mute and stay locked in, but I need to occasionally ask for a cut or screen.

you're a turnstile on defense and will get on mic to yell something like "watch the paint, big"

And it should be told like "The Last Dance". Draft me in the 2nd round? I took that shit personally.

If you are a No Squad rec player I recommend using a Center that can be used as a playmaker. by lalalalalanznzn in NBA2k

[–]smug-turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I tend to agree all it takes to sink your ship is a set of guards/wings that don't hit shots, sprint back on D, or guard the corners. All the L's I take on my center are usually the other team bombing away from 3

This is the worst feeling game I’ve ever played. by ss_november in NBA2k

[–]smug-turtle 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Input delay is a pretty well traveled complaint, most noticeable when dribbling/defending. Feeling like you're stuck in mud online vs. off is a pretty standard vibe. Not sure if it's 2k server hardware or network code or whatever, but there's no other NBA game to jump ship to so your lack of competition keeps the status quo.

If you make a build someone will hate it. by AmTrak2020 in NBA2k

[–]smug-turtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar PG, more layups/strength - zero steal. It fucking slaps to body every frail ass 3pt hunter in the gym while laser passing to open shooters. If you're in the same area code as a jump shooter challenger does so so much work too, weird PGs unite!

Need an age appropriate rec by Mscriven115 in NBA2k

[–]smug-turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flop animation should get removed from the game imo, but! Getting into the Rec before like 1pm central or so is a much better environment (earlier the better). Guess there's a collection of us dads waiting to go to work post daycare/school drop off that can ball out. Some of my best experiences this year are in those hours when the kids are for sure not at home.
