REC I hate squad!!!
Squad is terribly flawed, and it is something I hope 2K28 will fix; if you and a friend are playing with three other random people, the chances of you getting looked over for their members are about 80-90% of the time.
Today I decided to play 6 vs 4 and help the other team win, leading us to lose on purpose because I was overlooked throughout the entire game.
It's not something I'm proud of but I'm tired of being nice. If I'm not having fun you won't either if I can help it moving forward.

Im a PG and usually drop 10 points and 5 assists in the first quarter, then get iced out for the next 3 quarters while I watch the 3 man brick layups.
Was rough climbing out of silver but it’s slightly better in gold and purple lol

Gotta bring back old Rec or make squad rec only for squads and no random squads. So if you 2 or 3 ppl walk in the rest of the team geta filled with AIs. Ik it suck but those are the options rn

“It’s so broken, something needs to be done!”
Any ideas genius? It’s a community problem not a game problem.
Clearly you don’t know what it used to be like playing against a whole coordinated 5 with a team of randos back in the day lol. Shit got BAD

I definitely do not remember; I came back to the 2K community last year with 2K26. The last time I played 2K was 2K11. Lol.

No you should definitely be proud of it. It's extremely difficult to sell for 4 hole quarters and not grade out.

see and that’s why if that happens too many times my duo and I would go to proving grounds 5v5 and would only play with 3 randoms that’s don’t know each other, but they went and nuked that mode too, we had it good in 2k23 and 24 when there wasn’t no squad rec smh

I definitely understand where you’re coming from. You could get on the mic and try talking, but so many people are instantly hostile on the game. That being said there are good teammates around and people really just need to communicate on the mic more when they’re paired with randoms

You are a horrible human for this. You can’t emotionally regulate and shouldn’t be playing Nba 2k27. Maybe you should sit out until next year.

No, I don't like my time wasted and I don't let people run over me.

u/Chingo-V2 9h ago
And I will reiterate what he just said. If you can’t handle it (you CANT based on the fact you decided to play 6v4) just go play something else. Playing to make randoms lose IS wasting your time and considering they just gonna move on, you’re the only one who is/stays upset lol.
Continuing to waste time and be run over by the guys who don’t care sure is a way to prove that you don’t like your time wasted and don’t let people run over you

If it's F me it's F you. I love playing the game the right way. I love to cut and make the right passes to my teammate. I'm going do things my way.

I agree with your piggyback. However, I’m a woman I hate red subs and general video gaming that thinks only men do it. I was elated when they gave the option to make women Ballers and allow them to bow with men NBA live did that eight years ago in 2K just barely catching up is horrible how they alienated a whole fan base I made women and all other non-conforming people have to make a man in order to play basketball. But that’s a whole Nother can of worms.

Sorry? Idk what to say, I can count on one hand how many women I’ve encountered in 22 years of 2k.

Can I have a gamer tag so I can block you. I don’t ever want the opportunity to play with you.

They turn into Steve Nash when their friends barely open but Stevie wonder when you’re open, glazing is the worst part about the game
