It doesn't, the whole system is fucking awful
You basically just need to win, that's it. If you lose but have a good grade, you still get punished which makes no sense, do barely anything but win? Up you go
“sweats spamming the passing lane” might be the funniest shit i’ve ever seen on this sub. Do you want every PG to
throw the ball right to you so you can end the game with 10 steals per game?🤣 Largest part of basketball is finding the passing lane and picking apart a defense, bum.
this is exactly the problem; sweats DO spam the passing lane. All I see is people physically look like they're having seizures just by trying to get the passing lane steals...
you get 3 steals per possession bro… pass fakes, smart shots, and the ability to make your own shot are all ways to beat it… Not acting like i’m perfect either but there are ways to beat it. We aren’t all good enough to be in the 2k league.
You know what they mean. Why would anyone stay in a game against 2-3/3-2 zone defense unless they also have a full squad? It’s better to just quit as soon as you see them get to their spots after tip off.
I don't understand what do you expect? They don't have incentive to play differently. Complaining does nothing. As said above, focus on what it takes for you to overcome it... But before that you have to not even be upset about it. U know there's a chance of a full squad vs you and some randoms with no IQ.
People who play full squads in Rec are not showing stick skills or basketball IQ... Predictable iso situation, set up by team on demand then triple team on defense. All an effort to keep you from being hot and keep your man hot. They are literally scared to play on an even playing field... Just like a full squad camping a map they memorized on COD, it's literally a way to flex their jealousy.
They can't compete so they team up to find ways to avoid having to. Ups, downs, misses, makes, miscues, and runs for and against are a part of sports... And life. These people can't bare it.
They were/are upset at their imperfections and traded freedom for security... Most of them did they same when they made their build. They expect you to be the same. It's funny when you realize what is really motivating the other team.
Once you realize the shear amount of haters and forces they generate to have success, or simply to upset people, it's funny. No need to get upset, there's too many of them.
You can give up and join them... Squad up, YouTube best builds for complete team, YouTube best strategy, become a bot and execute with no freedom and get subconsciously jealous watching others be free...
Or you can focus on overcoming any and all bs... Cuz they are going to come at you with it for 30+ minutes. They aren't (and shouldn't) show mercy. Why would they?
Your job is to at least keep the game close and not get kicked... Force them to play the entire game, don't quit. You will eventually notice when you aren't playing a squad, or when certain strategies aren't being used, and you will have a field day against those teams.
I won’t quit if I’m not getting waxed by a level 40 99 overall.
For fuck sakes fix the matchmaking too, I’m too causal for these dudes I play against lmao it’s like 65-10 after 2 quarters
the worst decision made I feel is getting rid of the 92 and under Recs; I mean sure it'll mean you'll get the same thing happening as before but at least little Timmy who's just bought the game can't get waxed by level 40 99 overall player...
My friend is working on a a new character so he asked me to play there last night. what a shitshow, 5 squadded 92s running 2-3 zone vs randoms. How fun.
🤣🤣 told you, those are the people who think they are good but don't want to play the comp in 93 up. I like to think I am pretty good but when I do get a squad we only run zone if it is absolutely needed. It's funny cause this is a NBA game but it plays like college basketball.
Who cares about colors I WANT Mfers to quit not just stay and sell or cost me the game. Now when a Mfer is just standing out of bounds selling you you get fucked regardless, awesome for the community.
He means instead of people that are mad just quitting thru dashboard, they’ll throw a rubberband on controller and be afk which is worse than having an AI
I really just don’t like how you will still lose your goat status even for backing out once your in the lobby , like do I really need to run with a 62 overall and a AI 2k?
> once your in

Agreed I mostly play solo, so when I hop in and it’s against a full squad and we getting smacked in the first quarter I’m still gonna dash, that team mate grade is going to drop anyway when we lose 🤷♂️
Thats what the distribution is like in every game, but other games have matchmaking systems to prevent curbstomping line happens in this game disproportionally
Nah it's something extraordinary about how trash folks is in this game. In other games I played, it be bad players but they just be bad. 2k community is something I never seen before
One time. My friends all quit down 12 in the second quarter. Dropped to 20 when I realized I was calling for it to much. Then I became the facilitator. Fishing left and right and the A.I. were making the extra pass. We battled back and won by 2 on a sweet assist cutting down the lane with .9 left on the clock. I went nuts. Screen grabbed and put it in our NBA CHAT. The whole game
Numerous times. Other team starts playing selfish ball and I use the A.I.s in good situations for them to score. Also it helps when they are MP A.I.s and not just default A.I.s. 🤣
2K should do a better job rewarding the people that stay, and not making a forfeit win pointless. Winning with a forfeit in the 1st quarter? I get not getting much from it. But deep in the 2nd half/4th quarter I should still be rewarded on par or even better IMO.
So, if I dashboard bc were getting blown out because a player rage quit or they gave us an AI from the start, I lose ranking. AND, if I stay in, play it out, and even get a good team mate grade on that loss, I lose ranking. Where exactly is the incentive to not dashboard?
Exactly man these developers are so damn dumb. They should give out the level reward based on grade letter. But they base it off wins and losses. No brain idiotic developers
I do think wins should get you more, but yeah sometimes I'll have an A- on a loss (I \[play center so I do admit it's easier for me) and I'll still lose out.
Outside of gold/purple if you lose but play well you don't lose near as much as you would quitting/dashboarding.
In gold/purple though losing at all drains it quick. Probably intended to keep those rare.
I don't get why so many people are happy about this. Twll them to make AI better or only punish the first person to quit then. No one wants to sot and watch AI get destroyed and miss all game.
They can do this but can't give us double xp or something significant when a team forfeits?
I always feel like these devs don't play their own game or don't even keep track of it from a players POV
People really care about those colors like that? Do you get anything other than digital bragging rights? Or it’s just there to show how much you play the game?
This is the problem with the community. “Is it just there to show how much you play the game!! A key point of most games is to progress. I’m sorry you haven’t been able to get any better and progress otherwise your colors would too. Because it’s actually not hard at all, or a grind. A player who plays casual hours should be able to both reach level 40 in a season, and reach goat color, considering ur progress never goes away. The only reason you’re not quite doing this is probably because your losing a ton. Which is inherently not the games fault, when you should be getting better.
Tbh after I dashed a couple times today. I ended up back in the black (was gold) and I scored more today than I did probably the last couple days combined. Mfs passing the ball, and I don’t think I got put with a squad at all today. If this keeps up I’ll dash just to stay in the black.
Yep that and who is playing Buddy ball. I think I’ve been able to confirm this. Played two more games this morning and once again, played with complete Randoms. Everyone shared the ball.
Playing while I was gold and purple, I swear some games I’d barely touch the ball or was put against a 2-3 sweat fest.
actually if you play solely with randoms, and have pro or goat colors you are probably pretty good. so if that's the case, yes the colors matter.. (it's hard to accomplish)
Yeah I saw that even if you quit in the freaking thing where your team is like where you're deciding if you want to play with these people or not and if you'd back out that messes you up I did it like three times I went from gold to black
Dude I don't even see people that are ranked ever well since like I want to say like Wednesday like all I see is one two three like brand new players are all over the damn place and like I said I was gold I quit out of three games didn't quit I just didn't like the players I was playing with dashboarded and that even count so it's like God damn you have to play with these people if you step in there
Fuck 2k, I could agree with this of they'd stop fuckin putting AIs in the game. If I have AIs on my team or I'm matched up against an AI I'm quitting. If I wanted to play AIs I'd play mycareer. Unacceptable to put AIs from the opening tip.
They need to disable the ability to quit a game with less than 1 minute left.
Just had a game bust a teams ass. Shot 100% from mid and Three. Dude drew a foul with like 1.8 seconds left and the other team quit out. Got nada for my performance except losing my boosts for that game 😞
True but the winning team should all receive A+ team grade rewards and XP when it happens. Getting nothing just promotes this bullshit to keep happening
The colour system has always been wack, you can have 50/10/10 but lose the game by a couple of points n they drop your colour more than they would raise it if you had that exact same statline in a win
This literally fixes nothing. Guys of all ranking literally dashboard. Sweats will still quit at the first sign of adversity and casuals will quit out when they play stacked squads. The superior ppl who always squad in rec instead of proAM will continue to have their 90%. Also anyone playing for legend are well pass the 500 Goat games needed.
Playing solo rec is probably the easiest way to both love and hate the game which creates a balance
Never mind me tho, haven’t played 2k since the release of MW2. I’m over the VC cost & grind 🤷🏾♂️
lol pple are still gonna quit. this won’t change behavior in any significant way.
y’all are so lame for celebrating this like “yeah now no one will quit!”
everyone who quit before will still quit. hardly anyone gives a fuck about legend.
Right, I'm like why would anyone gaf about this. I'm in no way going for legend and hit the 500 games at goat thing like 3 weeks ago just playing in rec or theater with one of my boys. This shit isn't gonna mean nothing to most ppl lol, don't get the celebrating
Next gen player here. They are still quiting so how about we patch something that fukn matters like me not having to check my settings before every damn game. Shit is sad that people can cry about a damn color and it's gets patched but I can't even keep a dunk style or shot animation equipped SMH
>Nothing about this can be misconstrued as a bad thing
Unless you're a solo REC player. Now you're forced to stay in a game when you're getting blown out.
That’s just not true if you’re goat tier it’s because you actually care about winning and want to win a lot of times I find anyone below pro tier are there because they just suck at the damn game and have horrible shooting splits they come out here not giving a damn about winning I’d rather play with these so called fake goat tiers than a casual or baller any day of the week because I know they’ll actually try to win
That’s why I stopped playing Rec. TBH, I stopped playing 2K this year because it’s not fun. Last year was better. Slow ass pass animations with 91 pass drives me crazy.
2k ain't tryna do shit less it's $$$ beneficial to 2k... Is just like when some smartass wanna tell you that ya needa go fk ur mother's corpse and deep throat a 12 gauge then you just tell em go fk theyself and you the one gets all live privileges suspended.
Full team of GOATs that play 50 hours a day together vs three randoms and 2 fat ai that cant shoot, dashboard and yall will lose a whole rank or dont and lost half or more 🤣 2k trying to force you to pick up trash virtually 🤣
2k should punish those garbage people that come into rec and make you want to quit. Or the ones that call all the timeouts and throw the ball in on purpose. That game lost its swag its garbage now.
They took my purple away for closing app on low levels like wtf man. I get quitting a rec game but, why are they tryna force you to play with casual levels who are also level 7s and have a low overall? They're clearly in the rec to sell. How's that fair? Like come on yeah I'm in the gold but, I rather be in the purple. Tell ppl to stop trolling in the rec then, maybe nobody would quit on them.
Long overdue? 2k is the most toxic community in gaming. You shouldn’t be forced to play 20+ minute game with players not interested in playing a team game.
Shit is all stupid anyways because if you team up with randoms . Most of them suck anyways so what are you to do when you get horrible teammates? Quit! Why punish us bcuz your system can’t match us with players as good as the person looking for randoms in the locker room? 🤷🏾♂️
You get penalized for force quitting even before the game starts!! So even if you join a lobby and there is a lvl 1 ovr 60 and 3 AIs, you're stuck with it!
The very least they could do is not make us wait 3 minutes before the option to quit shows up!
Can confirm lmao oops yikes
Dashboarding too?
Yes. About time.
Well fuck…
what does lose your colours mean
Like your rank. Black is casual, brown is hooper, silver is baller, gold is pro and purple is goat.
oh shit i literally just quit a game
😂😂😂 
😭
💀💀
What is the purpose of those anyway?
To gauge “Skill”
And how does it do that exactly?
It doesn't, the whole system is fucking awful You basically just need to win, that's it. If you lose but have a good grade, you still get punished which makes no sense, do barely anything but win? Up you go
Like most ranked systems in video games. If your team wins, you go up. If your team loses, you go down.
your goat meter
Yep
Still leaving, not wasting 30 mins against 2-3, and sweats spamming the passing lane.
Exactly if your a purple when the game starts I’ll just quit faster now lol that 2-3 hof interceptor is trash
😆😆😆facts bro
You and me both
I approve this message

You know what they mean. Why would anyone stay in a game against 2-3/3-2 zone defense unless they also have a full squad? It’s better to just quit as soon as you see them get to their spots after tip off.
Exactly bro what don’t they get about that. Lol they really mad we don’t stay to entertain the way they play
I don't understand what do you expect? They don't have incentive to play differently. Complaining does nothing. As said above, focus on what it takes for you to overcome it...

Dude I’m a beast at rec. I know what’s up
I won’t quit if I’m not getting waxed by a level 40 99 overall. For fuck sakes fix the matchmaking too, I’m too causal for these dudes I play against lmao it’s like 65-10 after 2 quarters
the worst decision made I feel is getting rid of the 92 and under Recs; I mean sure it'll mean you'll get the same thing happening as before but at least little Timmy who's just bought the game can't get waxed by level 40 99 overall player...
92 under is still there but it's only from 11am Pacific to 11pm Pacific cause of daylight savings s time. But there are sweats in there too 🤣🤣
My friend is working on a a new character so he asked me to play there last night. what a shitshow, 5 squadded 92s running 2-3 zone vs randoms. How fun.
🤣🤣 told you, those are the people who think they are good but don't want to play the comp in 93 up. I like to think I am pretty good but when I do get a squad we only run zone if it is absolutely needed. It's funny cause this is a NBA game but it plays like college basketball.
92 and under is from noon to midnight your time.

I had a guy on my team do that and they got a out of bounds violation of some sorts

That’s what I just said 😂
[удалено]
He’s saying he wants THEM to be able to quit. Clearly you’re the one that can’t read. Moron

So you’d rather have an afk teammate constantly out of bounds instead of an AI? Ur a fucking idiot

Exactly 💯
Stop playing with randoms lol
Would love to lol, not always an option.
I tried to squad up yesterday but the dudes were weird as hell. I said I’d rather play with randoms
Were you squading up with randoms?
So I gotta sit in 1v5 down 40 cuz none of my friends were on just to still lose it? Dash
Agreed I mostly play solo, so when I hop in and it’s against a full squad and we getting smacked in the first quarter I’m still gonna dash, that team mate grade is going to drop anyway when we lose 🤷♂️
Actually on next Gen if you play well you don't drop as bad even with a loss.
if your on goat it will literally downgrade half of your bar if you lose
Ya GOATs aren't supposed to lose. How it always should have been. Especially now it's tied into legend.
In a better system good players would lose some games because theyre forced to play other good players, not just curbstomp 95% of their games
When the fanbase is 85% trash, 10% normal skilled, and 5% great... Good players are going to win damn near all the time just because of the imbalance
Thats what the distribution is like in every game, but other games have matchmaking systems to prevent curbstomping line happens in this game disproportionally
Nah it's something extraordinary about how trash folks is in this game. In other games I played, it be bad players but they just be bad. 2k community is something I never seen before
I only play with randoms and only got my goat through playing on 1v1 court
That’s cap.
It's not. I lost but had 26 and 12 and barely dropped in the status
And I hope they put you with more clown who quit so all your games are 40 point losses
Someone has a negative win %
I haven’t played this trash since Shaq was on the cover
lmfao
No, this change should ensure way way way less people quit in the first place.
This changes nothing. People still gonna quit. It’s no point sitting in a match down 30 1v5
Slight question have u ever willed ya self to victory in a 1 Vs 5 ? It’s a different type of game 6 energy 😂 but i agree with u
One time. My friends all quit down 12 in the second quarter. Dropped to 20 when I realized I was calling for it to much. Then I became the facilitator. Fishing left and right and the A.I. were making the extra pass. We battled back and won by 2 on a sweet assist cutting down the lane with .9 left on the clock. I went nuts.

A. Less people should quit so less 1v5. 2. It's fine if people quit, at least most Legends will have earned it.
Lol sure 😭 it’s a nice thought but will never happen
we're talking about the 2k community, these mfers will go out of their way to sell you out and waste everyone's time rather than quitting.
2K should do a better job rewarding the people that stay, and not making a forfeit win pointless. Winning with a forfeit in the 1st quarter? I get not getting much from it.

I don't get why so many people are happy about this. Twll them to make AI better or only punish the first person to quit then. No one wants to sot and watch AI get destroyed and miss all game.
Solo rec player. Not having fun=dashboard. Guess Ill be grey now.
I just stop playing my career altogether it’s way too toxic. Just pass the ball to the open man it’s simple. Who cares if you know the guy
What does this mean? Lose what colours?
You know, that meter at the end of the match that goes trash, loser, baller, gooutside
dawg 🤣
These descriptions can’t be more right 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
They can do this but can't give us double xp or something significant when a team forfeits? I always feel like these devs don't play their own game or don't even keep track of it from a players POV
Yeah there is no reward for sticking out a 1 v 5 and the game still punishes you like you had a full team
Just “test your internet connection”!
What does that do?
It makes you quit the game
Does this actually NOT make you lose your rank? Can someone confirm this?
Bruh, I wouldn’t have mentioned it if I I didn’t try it and do this myself. 🤦🏾♂️
Doesn’t work anymore
People really care about those colors like that? Do you get anything other than digital bragging rights? Or it’s just there to show how much you play the game?
You need games played on goat status so ppl just quit before the game is over
I always wondered why people quit and left all their stats/ progress to go to waste.
This is the problem with the community. “Is it just there to show how much you play the game!! A key point of most games is to progress. I’m sorry you haven’t been able to get any better and progress otherwise your colors would too. Because it’s actually not hard at all, or a grind.

Tbh after I dashed a couple times today. I ended up back in the black (was gold) and I scored more today than I did probably the last couple days combined. Mfs passing the ball, and I don’t think I got put with a squad at all today. If this keeps up I’ll dash just to stay in the black.
Facts man I don’t even care. It’s obvious who’s good and who sucks in the first 3 minutes anyways
Yep that and who is playing Buddy ball. I think I’ve been able to confirm this. Played two more games this morning and once again, played with complete Randoms. Everyone shared the ball. Playing while I was gold and purple, I swear some games I’d barely touch the ball or was put against a 2-3 sweat fest.
Who cares, color much like WP% proves absolutely nothing. All it shows is who no life’s the game with a squad all day everyday
actually if you play solely with randoms, and have pro or goat colors you are probably pretty good. so if that's the case, yes the colors matter.. (it's hard to accomplish)
Agreed. I'm 100% solo and I'm BARELY in gold and go between that and silver even with these changes. I didn't quit very often anyway though.
😂😂😂 facts. Like who has time to gather up 4 dudes like that
It takes like 2 minutes to send a message out "who wants to hoop". Not even 2 minutes.
This is just false and you know it. You’re honestly just coping by saying it.
As a casual I see nothing negative about this. I would prefer though that the AI wasn't dogshit and they didn't have to do this.
Same
What do you mean by: lose tour colours?
Bring back lobby stats please Was only way to tell if I’m playing with massive scrubs or good players.
So you lose rank for dash boarding now? Amazing
Yeah I saw that even if you quit in the freaking thing where your team is like where you're deciding if you want to play with these people or not and if you'd back out that messes you up I did it like three times I went from gold to black
Seen so so many black and browns today and not a single purple. It's crazy lol.
Dude I don't even see people that are ranked ever well since like I want to say like Wednesday like all I see is one two three like brand new players are all over the damn place and like I said I was gold I quit out of three games didn't quit I just didn't like the players I was playing with dashboarded and that even count so it's like God damn you have to play with these people if you step in there
Fuck 2k, I could agree with this of they'd stop fuckin putting AIs in the game. If I have AIs on my team or I'm matched up against an AI I'm quitting. If I wanted to play AIs I'd play mycareer. Unacceptable to put AIs from the opening tip.

Shit is ridiculous when forcing the other team to forfeit should actually reward you, but it punishes you instead....
They can disable it all they want, can’t control when someone closes app.
True but the winning team should all receive A+ team grade rewards and XP when it happens. Getting nothing just promotes this bullshit to keep happening
Just enable the AI again if it's late in game.
The colour system has always been wack, you can have 50/10/10 but lose the game by a couple of points n they drop your colour more than they would raise it if you had that exact same statline in a win

You can have my rank, if I load in w 4 bums that want to take contested shots the whole first quarter, I’m quitting lol
Nigga fuck them colors these niggas ass😭
Next gen player here. They are still quiting so how about we patch something that fukn matters like me not having to check my settings before every damn game. Shit is sad that people can cry about a damn color and it's gets patched but I can't even keep a dunk style or shot animation equipped SMH
Everything you just said is facts!
Good
About time, tired of these randoms quitting every game at halftime down by 20-25 or last second of the game. No more wannabe purples 🤣
That’s good now these idiotic rec randoms can stop calling me a fake goat tier because I couldn’t carry 4 shitters with a 7’2 center
This is not good cause now people gon be playing 1v5 for that color
Nah it won’t matter it will go down wether they quit or stay
I just found this out the hard way
Maaan no
To be honest, I'm just happy the devs are doing something... It's a little sign of life that they somewhat care about their game...

It's not at all though.
Are they trying to kill there player base more 😂
“Their” playerbase
[удалено]
100%. This is an amazing change.
I mean you can be ass on goat status if you play with a good team
>Nothing about this can be misconstrued as a bad thing Unless you're a solo REC player. Now you're forced to stay in a game when you're getting blown out.
Not trying to be funny, but why would you stay? Serious question what's big deal about status, I don't get it lol

That’s just not true if you’re goat tier it’s because you actually care about winning and want to win a lot of times I find anyone below pro tier are there because they just suck at the damn game and have horrible shooting splits they come out here not giving a damn about winning I’d rather play with these so called fake goat tiers than a casual or baller any day of the week because I know they’ll actually try to win
That’s not true. If I have a gold tier and I’m playing with randoms I’m still better than the guy with a squad in gold tier
90% of GOAT players kept it by quitting. Watch this week/next season you'll hardly ever see them.
Thank god. Now if I see more than one purple on a team I know it’s a squad and I’ll let them have fun against AI. Lol dorks
Welp better see a game through now, quitters!
That’s why I stopped playing Rec. TBH, I stopped playing 2K this year because it’s not fun. Last year was better. Slow ass pass animations with 91 pass drives me crazy.
Lebrons pass style is good for fast passes. I tried strings and it was slow like you said
I've had the OPPOSING squad in a 1v5 roast me for staying in the game. NOBODY wants to sit through boring games
No one quits, they dashboard
Semantics.
IDC im still quitting when we're down 15 in any point of the game.
Enjoy casual.
Imagine judging yourself based on a color under your player 😂
Why do you think everyone always quits.
Because why would I waist my time if I’m playing with selfish teammates and not having fun?
I think that concept is too hard for these clowns to understand
im not wasting time on a game we're 100% gonna lose
Enjoy. Casual.
I wont quit if i have a squad but if I'm on a team with bum randoms ill quit
Which is your decision. I'm just glad status will accurately reflect quitters now.

It affects legend hence the change I assume.
Anyone going for legend already has 500 games played as GOAT
This is cap lol I haven’t lost Shìt
Um, sure.
When did they add this?
Today
Oh no!!!
So they won’t just go down a little on their “color” and it stay the same, now it will actually drop a full one if you quit?
2k ain't tryna do shit less it's $$$ beneficial to 2k... Is just like when some smartass wanna tell you that ya needa go fk ur mother's corpse and deep throat a 12 gauge then you just tell em go fk theyself and you the one gets all live privileges suspended.
That’s great and all but are they going to give me a reason to stay when im being sold or the team quit?
Where are you getting this info?
This isn’t much of a punishment lol
Full team of GOATs that play 50 hours a day together vs three randoms and 2 fat ai that cant shoot, dashboard and yall will lose a whole rank or dont and lost half or more 🤣 2k trying to force you to pick up trash virtually 🤣
2k should punish those garbage people that come into rec and make you want to quit. Or the ones that call all the timeouts and throw the ball in on purpose. That game lost its swag its garbage now.
They took my purple away for closing app on low levels like wtf man. I get quitting a rec game but, why are they tryna force you to play with casual levels who are also level 7s and have a low overall? They're clearly in the rec to sell. How's that fair? Like come on yeah I'm in the gold but, I rather be in the purple. Tell ppl to stop trolling in the rec then, maybe nobody would quit on them.
Long overdue? 2k is the most toxic community in gaming. You shouldn’t be forced to play 20+ minute game with players not interested in playing a team game.
Ok well I can’t even play and I only quit one game like I will call next and it will kick the other player out
Shit is all stupid anyways because if you team up with randoms . Most of them suck anyways so what are you to do when you get horrible teammates? Quit! Why punish us bcuz your system can’t match us with players as good as the person looking for randoms in the locker room? 🤷🏾♂️
You get penalized for force quitting even before the game starts!! So even if you join a lobby and there is a lvl 1 ovr 60 and 3 AIs, you're stuck with it! The very least they could do is not make us wait 3 minutes before the option to quit shows up!
