Stop joining JRC if your record is under 40%

[Keith01]

You people are the reason the rest of us have to keep backing out. Start a squad of scrubs if you want.

I don't play JRC on 2k19

But if you're nice with it fr just carry them no?

Re: Stop joining JRC if your record is under 40%

Lol another complaint thread? Run with who you’re teamed up with damn. You can’t just back out of a game at a real rec because you don’t like your team(you can but you won’t get much run if you do). Stop whining about your team and ball.

Some of you never really played ball outside of 2K and it shows...

Nah, I'm good. I'll keep playing if I want to. I know I play smart and unselfish despite my record and at the end of the day it's just a video game, so I could really care less about it.

This. You gotta understand that not everyone with a poor record is automatically a bonehead. Sometimes you just draw the short straw with randoms consistently. That plus the amount of squads that come around may make it difficult for some, even the smartest of ballers, to come up with consistent wins.

Re: Stop joining JRC if your record is under 40%

Seems like telling someone who has a record of 19-31 to stop playing is a little overboard.

It all depends, actually. Though it’s not 100% foolproof, you can usually put together the type of player someone is based on a combination of record, and archetype vs PPG. If I run into a Pure Sharp that averages 4 PPG with a record of 25-200, I can piece together that he’s usually the problem, and is prone to taking really stupid shots.

Complaint threads are there to correct the crap in the game so...

When I play pickup IRL and there's enough ballers there, I'm picking and choosing who I run with usually.

The system is broke, 2K needs to let us back out like we had the option with Walkon. Literally takes 20 min to find a game whether it's backing out over and over to find non-trash or the time it takes to form a squad.

I've played bball IRL for years

I get that but record says a lot. Some aren't but most are. So at what win% threshold would you say it's the player's 'fault'? 30% 20%? I've seen dudes in there who are 19-180. Like, give it up already, go practice offline.

Typical 2K random...

Yes, in that case. But if I come with my defender/rebounder 6'11 center with 8 ppg 11 rpg and 1 bpg with 39% win ratio am I the problem and nobody should play with me?

Re: Stop joining JRC if your record is under 40%

I played 8 games yesterday.

None of the teammates I got matched with had winning records. Most of the games they quit after going down by just under 10 points.

I never get a good lineup with the matchmaking. Why do we need 3 of the same archetype?

When they quit even if the not is highly rated they are reduced to being mindless. They don't play defense on the perimeter and they don't contest shots. They even commit flagrant fouls!

Its frustrating as heck I don't really have people to play with like that so I just want to run a lil bit. Guess I have to give it up.

Walk On was 10000000 times better than this rec center mess.

I don't expect a defender/rebounder big to average a lot of points, so that wouldn't matter as much. Now, it depends on how deep that 39% win ratio goes. Are we talking 19-49, or are we talking 39-100? One is somewhat excusable, the other makes me wonder if you're part of the problem.



Second, covering for a big is somewhat easier than covering for a guard. Bad guard/forward play literally makes or breaks a game. Believe me when I say I take all of that into consideration when scanning over my teammates when I go in there by myself.


And third, if you walk into Rec with a 60s to low 70s rating, I'm leaving without hesitation. Not even going to entertain it.

Stop joining JRC if your record is under 40%

While I don’t think anybody should feel like they should “stop playing” I do wonder about the possibility of better matchmaking. As others have said, if your record is so flagrantly bad, have a history of quitting, and likely average a teammate grade below C, then why should others at a higher level be subject to it?

I am really not picky who I run with, as long as you aren’t obnoxious, play defense, and is someone who can adjust. Unfortunately, I run into the opposite all the time, and I really do wonder what they are getting out of the experience if all they do is go in, play terribly, and quit.

Some of the best randoms I run with had records like 300-400, but within the first quarter I could tell this was just someone screwed by randoms a lot because he spaced the floor, played D, didn’t force anything stupid. Others, you can tell quickly, are a complete sink to their team every time they play.

I basically just think anybody who averages below a B- should be in their own tier. Even if a random has a bad record because of awful teammates, that shouldn’t affect their individual grade too much.

Sure, but that is an extreme example. There does have to be a way to give them a shot to succeed, so I agree with ph above me. Also, though, I must say... I only average 5 a game (though I've not played JRC in a loooong time and I believe my record hovers around .500.) and it's not because I'm taking poor shots. It's because I always focus on being pass first and not dominating the ball. With randoms, that leads to not getting a ton of touches. It also helps that most of my games were played on my shot creating post scorer and the congestion that usually happened from random slashers caused me to have to move the ball around more than I'd like because I just didn't have the space needed to work.
