That’s why I stay in the rec 😂 not perfect in there either but it’s a lot better than park. They need to have more double rep events for us Rec only players
The reality of the situation is builds are far too expensive for people to actually experiment making a build that won’t be able to compete with the meta. Also, when you include how patches drastically change how the game currently plays, you’re gonna make one specific build, that can last through all the patches.
I agree to an extent but also ppl obsession wit “comp” style of play and the meta is the issue. If ppl just made wat they wanted how they wanted and played how they wanted we wouldn’t run into the same player style. I know most ppl will say “you at a disadvantage if u don’t meta chase” but my response to that is Half the ppl that do STILL ARENT GOOD OR SUCCESSFUL playing that way and it’s ppl that don’t play comp game modes that still play that way
I literally quit the 3s event because it gets way too monotonous. Playing the same lineup over and over and over makes the game so trash. All these guys running around with 99 3 ball and end up shooting like 4/12 because we play great defense only to get bailed out by 99 oboard. Lmao
Your closing statement is me. I just started prioritizing fun. I make the builds I want and run non-meta lineups anytime I play. I reduce facing meta lineups slightly by playing theatre 2's & 3's sometimes. It is annoying at times but I'd rather play to 21 than a 4 quarter game. My win % is good still despite the rng shooting & meta cheese. Mainly cause I chose fun first. They so use to facing meta they have no idea how to stop me 😂 Still, idc if I lose you can't take 2k or the community seriously lol otherwise you'd never really have fun you'd just complain and be frustrated constantly.
I've been doing the same thing in myteam. I just wanna have fun and cook how I wanna cook. I don't run pick n pop pick n pop pick n pop every play. And ever since I started taken the game less serious I started winning more often
I’m not mad at the gameplay. I’m a lock that doesn’t really reach. All I want is them to take down the shot clock in different modes. There should be no reason I lock a point guard up for 20 seconds and he can shoot a fading three from the corner with two seconds to go. 5s 24 seconds 4s 20 seconds 3s 16 seconds 2s 12 seconds and 1s 8 seconds This would alleviate the post cheese and most dribble spamming. Bring them weak screens most guards can’t exploit them anyway.
2:53 yea this is true me and my buddy played the rivet event yesterday, the opposing team had a 5’9 guard, 6’4 lock and a center with 99 o board and 99 strength. The 5’9 ain’t do nothing but left right behind screens
I am cool with being a rec old head or rec warrior...it has way more basketball iq for those that actually played organized hoops...that had actual real coaches and even parents 😂😂😂😂
For the unlimited screens maybe next 2k they could take advantage of the adrenaline system possibly making the centres adrenaline bar deplete each time someone hits the screen, making the screens less effective when there are no adrenaline bars left, and then jumping for rebounds should cost some adrenaline bars too. That way people might then start using screens strategically rather than just setting it. Just a thought 🤷🏾♂️
I’ve seen the vacuum screens and to combat that people have to let go of L2 on defense and run around the screen .. It vaccums you when you in the defensive stance
Pick dodgers works, let go of turbo and press left trigger . Although it will work as well as your badge strength, I have great results from hall of fame- it negates gold brick wall completely.

@@therea1420my guard got gold pick dodger it be fucking them 5”9 niggas heads up when they can’t get away on the screen and even better when the big can’t shoot
@@Blxck_SenjuI been saying since 2k16 that they should put a timer on screens!!! You hold it too long or too many times it releases itself into an illegal screen. It’ll force them to have to resort to having to actually play normally. No one in real life sits there holding a damn screen or chasing someone to do one like that.
Thank you bruh. 2k isn’t the issue the community is. Ppl wanna cheese, ppl wanna find exploits, if ppl just wanted to do wat they want and have fun tweed have so much more variety and a better experience but ppl so SCARED TO BE ORIGINAL. I’ve never met a chased and I have fun. I wish the community would do the same
I’m glad you’re spreading awareness on this and made a whole video about screens Brut. Vacuum screens have been the worst thing about playing defense in 2k since left right dribbling been in the game. Now that people are left righting without the ball, it is so apparent how bad screens and vacuum contact is in the game. (I know the easiest way to beat this meta is to have 2 guard/forwards that are able to switch. Just pointing out how bad screens have been in the last few years)
A way to fix that problem is to actually call moving screens based on people moving and stop leaving it up to RNG. People move so much and get rewarded for moving their screen into the perfect position to get the right animation. Ie: I’ll go over the screen and it’ll vacuum me under the screen just because the algorithm with my pick Dodger vs. screens brick wall.
You can thank the content creators for the meta lineups. If they didn’t post builds on YT. Ppl would actually have to use their own mind. That’s really what it boils down too.
If they didn’t get it from RUclips they would just pull up a players build stats by standing next to them and copy it that way. 2k needs to hide all that and not make it so easy to copy each others builds
@ I agree & they need to be realistic when it comes to the 5’9 builds if they keep that height in the game. There’s isn’t 1 5’9 nba player ever that’s good in every facet of basketball. Years before if you had a 99 3ball it was impossible to get anything else in the 90’s. 2k enabled this playing style for idk what reason lmao
@ bro the ONE smallest thing they need to fix is that the big man doesn’t always have to take the fuckin ball out!!! Lmfao! U ever get that animation where someone is in position to take the ball out and it immediately makes the center come run from the other side of the court just to take the ball out? That is literally the dumbest and easiest tweak they could make to their game
No wonder so many folks been tryna get post ups from the damn 3 lmao. It's a fake illegal screen. Every game now I was trying to wonder why they are running around so much in rec trying to run players into each other., It's sad.
I never understood why 2k forces these 1. Locked in post defense like koster was in the video 2. Locked in a boxout when i dont want to go for the O board i just want to go back to defense 3. Locked in an off ball pest / Hipriding animation throwing you away leaving your opponent wide open.
Content creators are not the problem, the problem is to many ppl dnt know there own play style yet alone acknowledging that fact. That want simple and easy, you have to LAB in this game to be different or equal..2k for years we could just go ball and figure it out, now the low IQ will cost u big Ls in this game
It would probably destroy 2s but the only way to combat L2 cheese would be to get rid of the make it take it aspect of it. Gives the other team a chance of competing.
L2/LT cheese aint new, most 2s players were doin this on the old gen 2k19/20.... We used to do this during court conqueror as well just to beat the bots. Im a pro'am/rec player btw
I just prioritize fun at this point so I can enjoy the game. I remade my 99 3pt sharpshooter from 24 with high BH, I love being a spot up shooter that can create my own shot when need be. I have more fun on that build than any other one.
Iam running 2 centers one interior and the other one a 3 lever scorer center with any point guard that loves to shooot. We are 120-15 witht this line up
You can't blame the RUclipsrs for reporting the news. The meta is the fault of the devs only. A bug in the matrix. I turn to the youtubers to protect myself by not being ignorant of these gaming flaws.
I became a rec warrior too used to love park also but over the years with park your right same crap a pure shooter one lockdown & a big rebounder got boring after playing against & running around thousands of screens in one possession I always said if 2k limits how many screens you can have in one possession than automatic turnover next screen we will really see peoples true talent but just a food for thought 💯
The amount of times I've run into the meta lineup this year has got to be worse than any other 2K by far. It's actually insane. You got black, bronze, silver, gold, and purple players ALL trying to run it.
3s and 2s by nature aren’t serious or competitive modes…people don’t want to accept this…they’ve always been cheese fest too…there are better 2s and 3s players for sure…but let’s be real - you’re running a pick and roll on a full wide open court 😂 the only way you stop a good PNR on 2s is sheer luck
Exactly Dime. I play Rec 99% of my games. I've gone to play park a few times a season and man, those park guys seriously have no skill. It's just all butt fuck your center until you finish and then shoot. Pause. Rec is for good players. Good rec players who have a winning record have more skill than a park player with a winning record imo. Especially the rec randoms who have a winning record like I do.
@@jacobwilkie241 I play with randoms on Rec also, and I have a winning record, I average more points a game than anybody on my friends list, and I shoot above 50% from 3, with that being said tho, random Rec can be a mf, cause a lot of these randoms are hot garbage.
@@daquanmiller2836 yea and I usually have to play against those types cause the game be damned if they give me somebody I’d love to play with, cause majority of my time, I get trash PGs and weak Bigs.
The problem with the builder specifically this year is they made tall builds so ass. I miss 2k17 and 19 where u can use a 6’10 and dribble with high speed with ball. 3 is ass it’s the same lineups pick dodger still inconsistent. Old 2ks had different lineups because u had builds that could compete with the meta
It’s funny.. Me and my bro hopped on the event this weekend and noticed on the phone it had a VIP section and there was a user gamertag “MIKEWANG”. We were like “bet”. Hopped on and played him and tbh it was the same play style as this L2 thing (I didn’t know it was a thing at the time) It kinda reminded me of a Curry play style. We didn’t win btw lol
They need the adrenaline bar on centers to take a hit after each screen he set if contacted by the opposing player !! that would kinda help a little bit that’s a start
Was thinking the same thing also making the screens less effective when there are no bars left. Also jumping for rebounds should cost some a bar idk if it already does. That way the centre would want to keep some bars for jumping for rebounds
@@Blxck_Senju facts and there has to be some balance within the game everybody doesn’t play the meta way !!! That’s why these “comp players “ think their all that cause they play 2s all day and play that boring ass way to win !!!
@A0160355 not even, pogo stick if I’m correct allows you to get quicker recovery after jumping for a rebound so u can jump again. But if you’ve wasted your adrenaline on setting screens then you should be punished. If that means for that moment where you missed times your jump and you’ve already wasted your bars on screens then your pogo stick should not activate. No one said take it out the game, there’s a difference between allowing something to happen because of a circumstance versus taking it out the game. Jumping for rebounds should also be skill based. Not just spamming your Y or triangle button. Stop holding your screens save your bars, time your rebounds correctly save your bars.
They need to nerf offensive rebounds. You can have a 92 offensive rebounds and get the rebound over and a 96 defensive rebound. That don’t make sense!!
@@GPh-p4w not in this 2k it's like 60% positioning but if you jump and get a stop it's like a 10% chance you're going to get the board first, you're punished for good defense.
How many of you guys have a big? You can have a center with a high offensive rebound boxed out and he can jump over you and get the rebound. I know you all have seen this happen in game before
2k19 was notorious for this L2 cheese but in this game it looks barely reliable and they way they lost just looked like. A complete skill and RNG (SINCE ITS 2K) issue
2k cant can do it, but i dont think there will. here it is lower the cost thatit take to make a build and when u make a build and upgrade that build and u reach levels u canb get free build with caps, but you can chance those caps and it will be free on that build. also u can put it on the daily spin
Bro the theater turned into the stage damn near for me just straight meta lineups all the time 😂🙄. I dont run from "comp" but damn the same ppl alllllll the time.
We went on a 73 game win streak with a 6’7 Guard, 6’8 Lock and 6’6 “Big” I have a 6’10 built for 3’s you can swap in but we almost play better w/ 6’6. How do you combat it? Be better than the people you’re playing. I don’t play 2’s, I think it’s stupid, you’re forced into a box but 3’s gives you an opportunity to play differently. I’m not going to pretend we can beat Tutak and Boolin etc but we’ve beat BadgePlug, Choc, Koza and a bunch of other “content creators”. I’m huge into the anti-meta gameplay. Either way 2K is horrible, we all play CFB25 now.
The cheese in 2s is so diabolical man, and the sad part is these people really think they’re good 🤦🏽♂️😭 you’re not good you’re just exploiting a bad game with no defense , and because the contest system sucks it’s hard to beat …. 3s I don’t mind the comp but nobody wants to play a stage line up every single game 🤦🏽♂️ pick dodger hasn’t worked since they added it , so many illegals screens and not one called , and if you switch that center getting the board every time Truly the game is just bad tbh….
This cheese has been in the game for years. Me and my buddy were doing in 2k20. We did it a few time this year to see if it still worked but it ruins the fun of the game
Point guard and 2 -3 or 4 that can guard the pick and roll and the screens while the guards gets the corner and has defense and rebounding it’s that easy let the two best defenders and rebounders play that 2 man on 3s on twos u need two players that are balanced but great at rebounding and defense for the 2s
the dude saying everyone copying content creators is wrong. people been copying content creators, builds, sigs and lineups since 2k16 stupid heavy. The problem is more so that 2k doesn't stick to their guns when it comes to promoting fair gameplay. Fair = Fun. 2nd every year, instead of improving upon what worked the year before they keep coming up with brand new systems without fixing the old stuff. How does the contest system get worse from 2k24 to 2k25... but we have 6 million diffrent vehicles to travel around in. Also... when you dont understand how to play the game, or you think your win % should be prioritized over creating your own style... ORRRR your apart of the cant beat em join em crew... this si why we have the game we do... Devs dont focus on the right stuff... community wants to win at any cost
I guess I been a Rec old head for a while 😂 also theater since it’s been out those majority the modes I’ve played since like 2k20, 2k20 or whichever one that had the beach first was probably the last time I had a a lot of time spent on park with friends
Can some1 tell me how a 6’7 center made a 7’3 center miss in the paint ppl idc if I have no good attributes for close it’s no way that’s ever happening w/o a hard foul
Ppl are scared to be different. You can be different and beat meta with high iq by creating mismatches my 2 way midrange point center with legendary strong handles abuses guards and way too fast for centers too big for 6’4 locks if you have a big lock that means your 5’9 point probably on the 6’6 guard who’s cutting to the basket with another guard on the other side.
I believe in ppl having fun too but don’t keep matching me up with clowns or ball hogs while 85 percent of the time my opponents playing squad like basketball then I get banned if I quit 😂 like 2k needs to have skilled matchups
End of the day it was 2k allows and what 2K doesn’t address to fix, if their are exploits why aren’t they being addressed? Why weren’t they fixed before the game came or atleast tested for it? End of the day can’t blame people for find 2K glitches , I hate the glitches but how can you blame someone if they find it and they don’t address it? It’s like finding a bank truck open everyday and you can take money from it with no consequences , who fault is that? Yours or the banks?
This is the easiest cheese fix in 2k history 💯😂 for my real hoopers we all know this shit is 5 seconds back to the basket 😂💯 but hey just remember this is park it’s no rules in park accept for the basics kinda we had 1 team attempt this on us in proam but it’s hard when that 5 second back to the basket is in place and that 3-2 swing rotating perfectly lmao 2 guards doubling the pg and the moment he roll or move that 4 with 99 block and 99 interior on his ahhh 😂😂 but this is a easy fix just add 5 seconds back to the basket in park 💯
Used to be a park player but runnin into the exact same lineups every time..especially RC 😂😂 get tired of hitting 100 screens while buddy wit the 100+ three runs behind them 💀
That’s why I stay in the rec 😂 not perfect in there either but it’s a lot better than park. They need to have more double rep events for us Rec only players
Factsssss I love rec
rec and theater for me 😂 I like to get quick games waiting on a spot in park is a thing of the past
Exactly
Facts Theater is the new park this year 😂
Yea why would I waste my time and time waiting on a court? 😂😂 This ain't real life this is a video game
Same here
Theater is filed with dexing demons on 3s and 2s and they are cheating with the new computer vision cheating scripts
I honestly wish Theater gave more rep than it currently does.
Facts
Go grind up to Diamond in PGs.
100% it’s basically all I play. Idk why 2k punishes people for it
It’s the only game I play 3 v 3 random. Getting sold constantly lol

If they get more courts in theater say goodbye to park

Brute, you haven't run into the double centers in rec and 2 99 3 ball teams. It's hell out here in 2k25
No not yet
You can still beat them, take smart shots, MOVE THE BALL, and have the defense blitz the p&r
@FRESH___ facts me and my clan run into teams like that all the time 60 % of the time we know how to beat them 💯
all you do is force the shooters to attack the rim or force the center to take the 3
I’ve beaten them but it takes a collective effort by the guys u play with and communication
Take "dexxing" out of the game. I even hate the word they made up for it.

I miss 2k17 and 19 where u can use a 6’10 and dribble with high speed with ball. 3 is ass it’s the same lineups pick dodger still inconsistent. Old 2ks had different lineups because u had builds that could compete with the meta
Two months without playing 2K I feel good. I can play other games that fun.
I like this 2k25 my shooting was horrible in the beginning but been better the more I played the game
Lmfao that’s not a metta all they doing is making sure u can’t spam steal all game. So people are putting they post up since 2k can’t fix steals
It’s funny.. Me and my bro hopped on the event this weekend and noticed on the phone it had a VIP section and there was a user gamertag “MIKEWANG”. We were like “bet”. Hopped on and played him and tbh it was the same play style as this L2 thing (I didn’t know it was a thing at the time) It kinda reminded me of a Curry play style. We didn’t win btw lol
What 2K should do is change the release date to october 9th when the game comes out of the beta version and we get the real full version of the game
They need the adrenaline bar on centers to take a hit after each screen he set if contacted by the opposing player !! that would kinda help a little bit that’s a start
Was thinking the same thing also making the screens less effective when there are no bars left. Also jumping for rebounds should cost some a bar idk if it already does. That way the centre would want to keep some bars for jumping for rebounds
So basically you want pogo stick out of the game? This community sucks man!!!! 😂
@@Blxck_Senju facts and there has to be some balance within the game everybody doesn’t play the meta way !!! That’s why these “comp players “ think their all that cause they play 2s all day and play that boring ass way to win !!!
@A0160355 not even, pogo stick if I’m correct allows you to get quicker recovery after jumping for a rebound so u can jump again. But if you’ve wasted your adrenaline on setting screens then you should be punished. If that means for that moment where you missed times your jump and you’ve already wasted your bars on screens then your pogo stick should not activate. No one said take it out the game, there’s a difference between allowing something to happen because of a circumstance versus taking it out the game. Jumping for rebounds should also be skill based. Not just spamming your Y or triangle button. Stop holding your screens save your bars, time your rebounds correctly save your bars.
that l2 cheese was going on the two's in 2k20 especially ante up!
They need to nerf offensive rebounds. You can have a 92 offensive rebounds and get the rebound over and a 96 defensive rebound. That don’t make sense!!
It’s more about positioning
@@GPh-p4w you right about positioning but most them 99 rebounders don't be having the correct positioning
@@GPh-p4w not in this 2k it's like 60% positioning but if you jump and get a stop it's like a 10% chance you're going to get the board first, you're punished for good defense.
It’s not about position when they runs jump jump to snap from 3
How many of you guys have a big? You can have a center with a high offensive rebound boxed out and he can jump over you and get the rebound. I know you all have seen this happen in game before
2k19 was notorious for this L2 cheese but in this game it looks barely reliable and they way they lost just looked like. A complete skill and RNG (SINCE ITS 2K) issue
2k cant can do it, but i dont think there will. here it is lower the cost thatit take to make a build and when u make a build and upgrade that build and u reach levels u canb get free build with caps, but you can chance those caps and it will be free on that build. also u can put it on the daily spin
Bro the theater turned into the stage damn near for me just straight meta lineups all the time 😂🙄. I dont run from "comp" but damn the same ppl alllllll the time.
Bring back the 2K. Where I didn't have to push ten buttons to dunk on somebody
I play no squad rec and theater and I agree. Much less cheese
Meta ain’t changed in park. Small guard left right behind a screen till they open
Ain’t nobody coping and pasting my build, good luck finding it. Lol 😂
That L2 thing don't seem too bad ... am I missing something? I do that sometimes to protect the ball and "dribble" with my bigman lol
We went on a 73 game win streak with a 6’7 Guard, 6’8 Lock and 6’6 “Big”
I have a 6’10 built for 3’s you can swap in but we almost play better w/ 6’6.
How do you combat it? Be better than the people you’re playing.
I don’t play 2’s, I think it’s stupid, you’re forced into a box but 3’s gives you an opportunity to play differently.
I’m not going to pretend we can beat Tutak and Boolin etc but we’ve beat BadgePlug, Choc, Koza and a bunch of other “content creators”.
I’m huge into the anti-meta gameplay.
Either way 2K is horrible, we all play CFB25 now.
Brute what camera do you use in REC?
Drive 1/10
more than 12 2kplayers in my friends list, everyone stopped before december. Never happen any year before 2k25
My boy brute been lifting. I remember when dude was skinny
Yo brute are you vet 2 yet?
The cheese in 2s is so diabolical man, and the sad part is these people really think they’re good 🤦🏽♂️😭 you’re not good you’re just exploiting a bad game with no defense , and because the contest system sucks it’s hard to beat …. 3s I don’t mind the comp but nobody wants to play a stage line up every single game 🤦🏽♂️ pick dodger hasn’t worked since they added it , so many illegals screens and not one called , and if you switch that center getting the board every time
Truly the game is just bad tbh….
I used to love park but I play by myself so when I try n hop on I lose my spot so I don’t even try n play park it’s either theater or rec for me
This cheese has been in the game for years. Me and my buddy were doing in 2k20. We did it a few time this year to see if it still worked but it ruins the fun of the game
I dont even play the park events no more tbh. Rec toxic af but for some reason I like it lol
Point guard and 2 -3 or 4 that can guard the pick and roll and the screens while the guards gets the corner and has defense and rebounding it’s that easy let the two best defenders and rebounders play that 2 man on 3s on twos u need two players that are balanced but great at rebounding and defense for the 2s
HOW DO WE GET IN A SOLO PARK BRUTE…
That's true if I make the build I like I'm at a disadvantage so I have to make the meta to keep up my rep grind
the dude saying everyone copying content creators is wrong. people been copying content creators, builds, sigs and lineups since 2k16 stupid heavy. The problem is more so that 2k doesn't stick to their guns when it comes to promoting fair gameplay. Fair = Fun. 2nd every year, instead of improving upon what worked the year before they keep coming up with brand new systems without fixing the old stuff. How does the contest system get worse from 2k24 to 2k25... but we have 6 million diffrent vehicles to travel around in. Also... when you dont understand how to play the game, or you think your win % should be prioritized over creating your own style... ORRRR your apart of the cant beat em join em crew... this si why we have the game we do... Devs dont focus on the right stuff... community wants to win at any cost
Rec and theater have realistic courts. Park look goofy af
I guess I been a Rec old head for a while 😂 also theater since it’s been out those majority the modes I’ve played since like 2k20, 2k20 or whichever one that had the beach first was probably the last time I had a a lot of time spent on park with friends
if people are mad there missing why would they not make a 99 3 guard or a cheese build
That was the worst 2’s game I’ve ever seen . Homie was on the mic throwing all them bricks 💀💀🤣
Since i mostly play by myself, and because im only decent i can't never catch a park game.
Can some1 tell me how a 6’7 center made a 7’3 center miss in the paint ppl idc if I have no good attributes for close it’s no way that’s ever happening w/o a hard foul
Ppl are scared to be different. You can be different and beat meta with high iq by creating mismatches my 2 way midrange point center with legendary strong handles abuses guards and way too fast for centers too big for 6’4 locks if you have a big lock that means your 5’9 point probably on the 6’6 guard who’s cutting to the basket with another guard on the other side.
That’s how slot of the top rep people play
It’s META brute, most efficient tactic available
Yea these vaccum screens are freaking ignoring I’m so so so tired of these screens
1st BruteSquad 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Brute squaa 🦅
Last time i played park was
21
I believe in ppl having fun too but don’t keep matching me up with clowns or ball hogs while 85 percent of the time my opponents playing squad like basketball then I get banned if I quit 😂 like 2k needs to have skilled matchups
I call it Steph Currying lol. Lead passing and dexing is way too powerful this year and I keep telling people that.
End of the day it was 2k allows and what 2K doesn’t address to fix, if their are exploits why aren’t they being addressed? Why weren’t they fixed before the game came or atleast tested for it? End of the day can’t blame people for find 2K glitches , I hate the glitches but how can you blame someone if they find it and they don’t address it? It’s like finding a bank truck open everyday and you can take money from it with no consequences , who fault is that? Yours or the banks?
Not me confused to who I should be watching in the 2v2
I run 2s with a 99 three ball lockdown and 7'1 inside big but my big not a post scorer don't have 99 strength no 99 rebound straight iQ
11:33 except post drop step spammers, we are judging you 🤣
The cookie cutter builds are definitely out of hand...
This is the easiest cheese fix in 2k history 💯😂 for my real hoopers we all know this shit is 5 seconds back to the basket 😂💯 but hey just remember this is park it’s no rules in park accept for the basics kinda we had 1 team attempt this on us in proam but it’s hard when that 5 second back to the basket is in place and that 3-2 swing rotating perfectly lmao 2 guards doubling the pg and the moment he roll or move that 4 with 99 block and 99 interior on his ahhh 😂😂 but this is a easy fix just add 5 seconds back to the basket in park 💯
Used to be a park player but runnin into the exact same lineups every time..especially RC 😂😂 get tired of hitting 100 screens while buddy wit the 100+ three runs behind them 💀
An the cheesy bailout fadeaway is gettin outta hand, nobody wanna talk about that though 😭
But they was still getting lock up and it was 2k poor shot contest system is the reason they was winning
