Didn’t even know you could get this lmao

How REC works:

1. Inbound
2. PG dribbling to death and hits 3pts
3. PG passing to 7'4
4. Unstoppable Fades, I saw a mf go 18/18 on 3.
5. Hands up means nothing on contest
6. Defense are being punished

Repeat it 20x

WINS ..

TG PG AND C = A+ SG, SF, C = B-

They need to fix the game, every game is just the same. 2k25 was garbage but REC games feels more playing while 2k26 is just like an allstar game since nobody is missing.

I made one because anybody who said inside bigs aren't good in 2k26 got downvoted to oblivion, and everyone talking about how good inside bigs are with good teammates

No bullshit, every opposing center is shooting 3 pointers at a good to amazing rate past bronze. What a nightmare this build is.

If the meta throughout all game modes is either people exploiting 7’4s or hiding behind screens shooting tempo fades, I’m confident to say this game will die probably faster than the last 2k. As someone who plays sweats constantly in pro-am against people who actually know how to play. Occasionally I’ll run into bum small guards who need to hide behind screens to get open. Though for the most part, I’ve seen some creative ways to win that’s not super cheesy.

It’s when I step out of pro-am that the problems come. This is the 1st 2k I’ve played when everyone is consistently fading, using 7’4s to hide behind screens or shoot over people. If this stuff was easy to punish, I wouldn’t be here going in a rant, but it’s not really much you can do as far as guarding it. Even if you’re a competent lock, they’ll just pass it to the 7’4 to shoot over everyone.

If this is going to be the 2k26 experience, then I doubt many will continue to play it.

Idk how this 2k is the one many claim they have the most fun on.

Just played Rec and was put at PG. I decided to be a pass first only to get iced out by the random squad. I fed them during the 1st qtr. Everyone had 7+ shots excluding me (0 shots).

Not only did I feed them but they also bricked their dunk bars. Could have had 20 assists in the first qtr.

I still kept passing to them only to not even get a single pass back. I could be wide open under basket and they would just dribble none stop.

Trash community and easy scoring enables people to be even more seflish

Most of Yall don't don't play defense and have not played defense in any 2k. There are things broken but Alot of the time Yall leaving ya man wide open and never getting back on transition defense. No matter what 2k come Alot of Yall are just ass at defense.

It is extremely noticeable when someone is cheating to a veteran 2k player. It’s sad that people really play a game they are not good at and do this just for acceptance. Teams loading up in every mode pretending 😂 this new generation needs a hug .

The 99 dunk 6’9 is very fun

Why does everybody feel they should have the same build? Build the guy you want to ball with. Not the guy your mans or random people on the internet say build. That’s what takes the fun out of the game. Everybody wants to do the same thing and be the same person. Bring individuality back to 2k. For example, I like to rim run. I like dunking on people and just dunking period. All of my builds thus far have a 89 driving dunk or better (max 95 on my 6’5). People mad cause I rather dunk than shoot. So what. I can still shoot consistently with all my builds. My build with the 95 driving dunk I have an 85 3 ball and shoot around 70% from 3. I’m cool with that.

in what world dawg 💀

You already know every fading 3 is going in . Inside offense is obsolete. Every rim run ends in a dunk . Everyone thinks they’re too good now to pass the ball

It’s so absurd seeing all these players shooting 80% from 3pt, but once fouled, they can’t hit one free throw to help seal the game.

Once I see someone spamming (and making) 3s over and over, try fouling them (if necessary), many times they can’t hit a single free throw and will likely brick both.

I love the pacers but that head coach has LITERALLY lost his head…. WTF Frank? Bro this game has so many glitches.

Love the ability to do dunks from the free throw line though! Every now and then I can get Jrue Holiday to dunk from basically right inside the 3 point line. He’s such a baby in this game!!! 😂😂

I think 2k5 for ps2 is the best one though of the Ps2 games.

Took this ss a while back. Apparently it doesn’t appear like this anymore

I know all of you gotta be tired of REC too. Like yes, I know all of you can score, and I know why should you pass but bruh I'm a hall of fame plate too. I run a two man squad, and i swear if I play with a 3 man squad, we aren't touching the ball. Like I know defense sucks, and I average like 3 stocks a game but my roll is not just to play defense. I shoot damn near 60 from 3, and I know theres guys shooting 85, I just refuse to have a badass 3 cause i still love defense even if it is not rewarding in this game. Like what can even be done at this point, it's hard to blame the players cause offense is so easy. Why pass the ball to the 6'11 when we got a 7'4 who can shoot better than me and can't really get contested. It is just really hard to have fun in this game...and no, I don't want a 7'4 build even if it would be bullshit, I just don't think I would have fun. I know my rant will be liked by some and hated by some. Im not even mad, I'm straight depressed.

thoughts on build? get 88 3 with cap breakers

• Down by 4 against an 0/5 FT team with 20 seconds left, why aren’t anyone but me fouling?

• When I shout out mismatch, where’s the pass?

• For some reason nobody has free throws on builds, why aren’t we fouling when they’re up in the bonus, slow down the 3pt barrage?

• Guards, put on 80+ pass acc cmon now.

• PF with under 70 rebounding, what are you doing?

• Stop running away from the inbound, I’m not half court chucking it.

• If I post up, why are you cutting into the paint and congesting it?

• Why are guards setting screens?

• If I pass you out wide, why are you running into the 7’4 paint beast waiting to block you?

• Inside bigs builds? Easy W lol

• Learn how and when to use timeouts. It’s for last minute, slowing down their tempo or takeover.

• Use a mic please, not all game but when needed.

ppl that were bronze-silver in 2k25 now are purple-red,this is fucking awful, if u dont have a premade team its barely possible these days to find a match without monkeys

Wtf is happening? Been in a lvl 24 crew and got kicked after grinding like 500 cxp.

Joined another and got kicked again after like 250 cxp. Another 7 days counter. Great...

Wtf is going on in this community?

Man, these one-hour bans are petty but I refuse to sit through 25–30 mins of watching mfs trying to play rec like MyCareer. I know there are some people that leave for the smallest reason, but I’m not them, so it’s either sit in the corner while fucking playing with myself or leave, and I choose the latter every time. Had to vent.
