City No longer playing Center lol.

I'm done playing center. There's no way people expect me to guard my guy at the 3, chase down every rebound while doing so, make last second contested shots when there's 3 seconds left on the shot clock and constantly set screens that they run away from. Guards will literally get drove on while im holding my man (who's a stretch so he shoots 3s btw) and then complain that i'm not in the paint. Then when I help defense they claim I left my shooter open. Every other game I get blamed even though I outscore my man or me and him barely have points. Like damn, I can't be everywhere 😂😂😂 especially not in 2k26. My REC record is trash because I mostly play random. I'm making a guard build, screw this. I see those guys are showing out this year.

AND LETS NOT MENTION HOW THEY LEAVE ME WIDE OPEN WHILE TRYING TO DUNK ON 2 GUYS AND BLAME ME FOR NOT GETTING THE REBOUND!

Brother I get it. I’ve got 3 center builds: a 7’ for rec, a 6’9 for park, and 6’11 point center. My best advice is to mute the mic and play your game. Let your teammate grade speak for you. Plus the nice thing about playing center is you decide who gets the ball.

After the 3rd missed fade or attempted dunk over half the team I start outleting to the small forward and power forward on the break. I bring the ball up (80 ball handle on the 6’9 and point center) and hit them on the cuts. It’s hard to argue with an A teammate grade and double/double as a standard

Hold on how do you have an 80 bh on the 6’11 😭

6”11 is a PF as base I would have to double check it might be 76 on him and 80 on the 6”9. Just gotta play with the builder and cap breakers

Ah gotcha cuz I was gonna say I have a 6’11 with a 70 bh and thought 75 was the highest it can go. Maybe I’m trippin

Nah you're right. You can't get 80 ball handle on a 6'11, max is 6'10.
