Don’t be calling out all of us old heads, you need to refer to the ppl YOU are playing with. Don’t give us all a bad name because some of us do have IQ and we wanna win more than anything
I got threw the same shit midd frfr imma old head I'm 38 but I understand where you coming from frfr...basketball is simple but people make it so hard...we need to team up frfr...I won't let you down...I get the most dumbest people on my team..and I'm tired of it I just want to win...I was a gold plate Friday..but since the 2k rep event I'm back at a brown plate..I be trying my best out there midd...I need help..I spend the whole game telling people how to play basketball💯💯
Number one issue you get matched up with terrible teammates and everyone doesnt see what J Midd is saying. I have the same issue as him . These guys wanna dunk the ball and the PG doesnt wanna play make and Center of PF which or always undersized or sit paint all game. No bag from these randoms. Everyone says get a sqaud then .. sometimes you just wanna hoop solo. And you go in every game trying to come back or hold on to a lead. An im and Old Head and i can say every video breakdown is 200% true
A Majority of my games depending on which build I bring out I get the brain dead teammates. I might touch the ball 4-5 times the entire game and I always get set up against a dude that averages 17-30 ppg with NO take the whole game. Or I get screened to oblivion and the center will play paint and not step out. I get paired up with the crash out gang 9-10 games if I run solo rec. score is 13-5 they leave or start chucking shots and not guarding their man. I’ve been playing 2k since ‘99. This is the first time I’ve ever been like I don’t know if I can do this anymore
This game it’s just awful bro people just want center to be in the paint to get rebounds so they can shoot over and over all game at some point you got to understand in this NBA centers need to be able to space the floor
I agree with a lot of the stuff you said (and say in your videos) but equating bad players and bad mindsets to being an “OldHead” is kinda wack because there are bad players and low IQ players at every age
What I've learned watching your videos is you have main character syndrome. You believe your way is the only way all the time. You are unable to modify your approach to the game differently. If the plan isn't working, take suggestions, try stuff. If the PG isn't Steph, you're complaining. Rondo played in this era, Lonzo ball, Conley, Brunson, etc. There are different approaches to PG. If you hate PGs so much, make a damn PG. There is no shortage of centers i promise. Show the audience your ability to contribute and run an offense. You have all the answers. Ill even put $30 down to cushion the blow off a new build. Let's see YOU run point effectively.

@@J-MIDD 4:09 you are a weirdo why didnt you let the clip play out you cant even focus on your own points because your brain is fried. In reality some point guards throw the pass early to keep the ball moving & show their team they want to pass. Theres no satisfying mfs like you
@@J-MIDDeven here at 4:43 you neglected to push the ball in transition and they stopped the fastbreak by fouling you because you want to dribble on your big
Dear Jordan, I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize regarding the discussions around the 2K Old Head Community. As a 31-year-old, I understand that one day I too will find myself part of the Old Head Community, and I genuinely appreciate the work you do for them. I realize that the older players often approach the game with a mindset that mirrors real life, which can be tough when the game mechanics encourage a different style of play. While their dedication is admirable, I see now that adapting to the various strategies and “cheese” tactics is essential for enjoying the game fully. Thank you for your understanding and for all that you do for the community. Best regards, Old Head Community Prospect
@@RonWithTheStop as an old head, I’d like to explain to you that all old heads aren’t the same. Either you’re good at games or you’re not. The reason why a lot of “us” play the way we do, is because we have been playing basketball video games longer than the youngins have. We played in the 8-bit era, we played nba live 95’ early games where the cheese didn’t look like how it does now. The game programmed you to play a certain way to win. And everyone wasn’t good at it. Every young guy is not a killer, nor every old head is like how they are said to be. I have young guys I run with and we usually smash everyone we play. It’s a balance. It’s a lot of people who play the game that don’t know how to play the game
I dont see how mfs make pgs and struggle...i put a 89 pass acc on my pg and i always start the game with the mindset of setting the tone on offense...yea them lanes crazy but it ain hard to break a defense down and find the open spots
It’s not all old heads bro BUT you’re 100% right on this one I’ve seen a lot of these things personally as a PF/SF. Pgs don’t have the IQ to run the team in the rec. I’m working on a pg build now for these reasons. You need a forward I got you J.
Bro you sound super stressed and i totally understand because it frustrates me too at times. The truth is playing with randoms will never be an enjoyable experience. The sooner I realized that the better it’s been. Good luck bro 💯
I’m done trying to win on this game. I just want what I’m seeing to look like basketball. Since season 2 started, I don’t even know what I’m looking at anymore
I could tell by that dude gamer tag ball Hawgg it was going to be bad nightmare game, just how it sounds it wasn’t going to be a good game. Every year, it seems that the players in 2K are becoming less skilled. Many do not understand basic concepts like floor spacing or passing to open teammates. As a player who primarily takes on the center and shooting guard positions, I have the Legend Dimer badge on my builds and a solid grasp of floor spacing and post moves, such as fading mid-range shots and I can shoot consistently from the three. I pride myself on my ability to read the game effectively. It’s frustrating to encounter teammates who lack fundamental understanding of the game. While 2K is accessible, it requires a level of strategy that shouldn’t be underestimated. I believe we need a new system that rewards players with a higher basketball IQ while penalizing those who take poor shots or fail to make the right decisions, ultimately fostering better teamwork. Or just let me see & pick who can be my teammates for the solo Rec and also the game needs to tell me the negatives of how the players play before the match on my team like a scouting report that analyzes each game you play. I feel you’re pain J Mid
Im new to your channel but you made some valid points most dudes who play 2k nowadays are strait up trash I really don’t understand how can a grown man be so bad at a BASKETBALL video game
Because it’s not a basketball video game.. it’s video game based around the basketball aesthetic… you can call someone an old head but if my “basketball” IQ outweighs your animation mashing then I should have the upper hand but in this game it’s not the case
@patrickfarquhson8272 I say this often about some folks I know personally frl rookie difficulty be having these bot boys cooked and confused when they have to deal with superstar/hall of fame modes
You need a better name than old heads bra. I just read the title dont care about the video so much its not all old heads bro kinda of childish to me. But yea dont really care for everybody complaining dont like it dont play it adjust and move on
I play only to win. Only a str8 🤡 pays for a game and builds to jump online to crashout and take L's and think that's fun. And old heads aint the only ones. The majority of the 2k community dont understand how to play in a 5v5 setting.
Bro then i played another game up by 2 3 sec left instead of inbounding the ball to me as the 2 guard because pg was getting double teamed , I’m literally in front of him , he chucks it down the court , turnover ? They get the ball back score and win the game lol almost broke my monitor
I watch a good amount of this video, the PG is someone who made a build in a position that he had no business playing 😂😂😂 I’m a old head, this ain’t old head ball - whoever he was is just trash 😂😂
Also at 7:21 , lets talk iq since you like iq. As a center you couldve still ran to paint. Not an impossible pass to make and also a lob considering the big is out of position. Or! You could have fanned out to the wing for a wide open three. If you dont have a 3 ball the amazing spacing combined with a recovering defense should lead to a guaranteed basket. It sounds like you blame others instead of looking in the mirror. Why tf would anybody go into a casual game mode and sweat like its their only achievements in life? If you wanna be better, do better. Stop blaming others when YOU arent doing enough!
My thing is why expect true competition in a casual game mode. I could understand being fustrated a out proving grounds but rec is stupid. If you want comp go play it if not why rant and rant and rant suffering in your own created misery? Rec is called rec because you go to the rec for casual play. And if you want comp youd go to your local college or community college. Its like dudes who go to a neighborhood park and then complain bc you arent trying to win a championship. My two cents
@@steeezdashoota8569 I'll not go back and forth like women do so if you wanna actually talk we can. If not I'll say this one thing then let it be. You completely missed my point. I'll simplify it more. If you want COMP go to a comp mode. If you go to a casual mode expect low level casual play. Nothing hard to understand about that. Peace
So you are mad that old heads want to play the game a certain way??? I have an Defensive Anchor and 3 level Pain Beast and it’s easier to control the game on my inside defensive anchor when playing random rec when I play on my outside I have to depend on someone passing me the ball and getting less rep because I am getting less rebounds and sitting corner. That sh*t boring wtf are you complaining for play with a squad on 2k problem solved
Idc about winning or losing , as long as MY numbers are good . I’m satisfied. I step into every game with a Carmelo Anthony Mindset . I am a proud black hole 🕳️.
2k iq and basketball iq are 2 different things
Lol I love being 27 i connect with the youth but still got mad respect for the older ones
Don’t be calling out all of us old heads, you need to refer to the ppl YOU are playing with. Don’t give us all a bad name because some of us do have IQ and we wanna win more than anything
Str8 up
Yet it’s 90% of yall lmao
I assure you this is not an age thing. I’m 43 and I get sold by all ages.
Naw it's 90 percent young clowns who dribble all game and just trash 😂@@_Tiki_
You know how many youngins I run into that have PGs that believe if they do a step back they’re automatically open to shot a ridiculous 3

😂😂 sad
I agree with a lot of the stuff you said (and say in your videos) but equating bad players and bad mindsets to being an “OldHead” is kinda wack because there are bad players and low IQ players at every age
As a center i agree 100% about running down to the ball i have people argue with me on this.. 😂
i'm getting tired of PGs gatekeeping the ball
I’m a pass / defense first PG, my goal is ten assists per game. I can score but I like passing, lobs, behind the backs.

about time to create a PG bro...

It’s not old heads vs no brain kids at all. It’s mycarrer players coming into online modes who are use to playing on rookie.
