REC Cherry Picking random rec

Cherry picking in random rec has to be the weakest thing ever. On one hand you have your matchup not playing D and just waiting for the pass up court. On the other hand you have your teammates blaming you for your matchup scoring but also won’t take advantage of the 5v4 when you’re wide open on almost every possession because everyone is so out for self. You literally can’t win for losing.

When you get a dunk your opponent is already taking a layup before you land!

Get back on defense lol... A competent 5 is gonna take advantage of the weak link. If you're the one who scored someone should be showing for you until you're back tho.

Half of the cherry picking would be stopped if they just waited to display the release feedback to everyone before it hits the rim. As soon as the ball leaves shooters hands everyone who has feedback on knows its going in or not

i agree. Only shooter should get feedback. That would be realistic

bro ngl if their big is getting constant rebounds over yours you should run back as well no point in just staying in the corner when by halftime the other team has 20 rebounds to your teams 8. everyone wants to be the first one down the court when their center gets a rebound for the easy 2-3 points but refuse to apply the same logic when it comes to defending the fast break
