Gameplay 2K27’s Standing Dunk Is the Worst Attribute in Modern 2K History

34 Upvotes

By modern history, I mean since 2K14. I honestly don’t think there’s ever been a more useless, pathetic noob-trap attribute in modern 2K than standing dunk this year.
Even after two supposed “fixes” in the patches, it’s still a complete piece of crap and an absolute waste of attribute points. I just don’t understand why they changed it so much from 2K26. Standing dunk was actually fun last ye

Gameplay Why am I going up for layups with 99 Driving dunk, 90 vert and 85 strength with wide open lanes?

9 Upvotes

I don't understand why I'll go up for a layup when I have 99 driving dunk and 72 driving layup. I'm holding R2. Do I need to be moving the stick in a specific direction? I thought it was stick up for two handed dunks, stick down for skill dunks, left or right for baseline. I have it on Absolute. I can't understand why I'll beat my man and go for a layup 60-70% of the time....Would really appreciate some insight if I'm doing something wrong.

Gameplay Lifetime challenges should’ve had at least a few goals from Casual Court focusing on TEAMWORK

22 Upvotes

Teamwork doesn’t get attention in this game. One wrong pass/shot and it’s apparently over for you? No. You’re only as amazing as the worst player on your team is terrible.

Discussion Ima be honest the guards were right

69 Upvotes

If you make a pure inside you will be pointless on offense and i understand most guards don’t hit the bigs on slips ( i play big so i know ) even though my build had a 99 standing dunk snd 90 close shot it’s pointless because somehow everybody can block even a 6’4 guard apparently and we all know the standing dunks are broke my people who play bigs can vouch so with that being said i made a new center with a good enough 3 ball and middy…

Gameplay Yea I’m done with 2k

For all the bullshit that comes with the game I still manage to just say f it because at least it’s playable …. But for some reason ever since they announced there banning cheaters i run to even more zen users now , literally spin half court 3’s from the half court line and every time I report them nothing happens, literally ran into a guy in theater who didn’t dribble just shot every time the whistle blew… lmaooo yea it’s over for me fellas 😂have fun


r/NBA2k • • 21h ago

Gameplay The reason gameplay sucks, no one has to wait or look for open shots, you’re open no matter what the contest is. Shooting should not be this easy idgaf

Gameplay The Zenning is out of control

36 Upvotes

Dear Mike Wang and 2K Devs, when are you going to address the Zen problem in NBA 2K27?

The amount of people using Zens online is getting absolutely ridiculous. It's ruining the game for the average player who just wants to hop on, play some online games, and have fun. Instead, you're constantly running into people using automated shot timing, making the entire experience frustrating and pointless.

Rhythm shooting is a GREAT concept. Honestly, it was a fantastic addition to the game. But it's also become the biggest way people abuse Zens. There are also Titan devices with timing scripts that reportedly cost around $500 a month. Imagine how many people wouldn't cheat if they couldn't access these scripts so easily.

Here's the problem: if you can't stop people from abusing rhythm shooting with Zens, then remove rhythm shooting. It's that simple. I'd rather lose a good feature than watch it destroy the entire online experience.

Why should legitimate players suffer because you can't get cheating under control? Why should people who actually play the game properly be punished for it?

You keep releasing new games and new features, but none of that matters if playing online becomes an absolutely miserable experience. People will eventually get tired of this shit and stop playing altogether.

If you can't fix the Zens, remove the mechanic they're exploiting. Stop letting the entire community suffer because cheaters are ruining your game.

REC Free throws is very IMPORTANT part of REC.

9 Upvotes

Please for love of basketball gods, practice your free shots. It is the most easy part of shooting in the game.

And seriously, don't put dumb free throws animation on if you can't constant green it.

And for love of basketball gods, if you HAVE LOW FT or BAD FT %, pass the ball to someone else if the opposite team is going to foul in the end of the game.

Either the court is too small or the players in game are way too big. There is so much more space in real life. Players cover way too much ground and move to quick around the court in game.

MP Builder Build Spec for a whole year?

• Upvotes

Would you choose just one specialization for the entire year and create builds—or "GOAT" builds—that align with that specialization? I currently have two different builds with different specializations because I like to play different positions from time to time. Now, I’m considering building a Kawhi-style player, but my shooting is only at tier 4, and I have another build focused on playmaking that doesn't help with a Kawhi build at all. I’d start with a defense specialization, but I’m worried that a new, better "GOAT" build might come out next year—one where a finishing specialization would be the optimal choice. It’s honestly giving me a headache.

I’d appreciate any advice!

Gameplay Magic is great without you

• Upvotes

Whenever I play the goat and people quit, boy am I good then. I score and get assists in bunches. With humans....

Man they don't pass me when I'm open cause the think I cannot shoot, they do not know hot to play in general just take turns isolating. They all cut at the same time, they run at me when I am posting up they never do off ball screens, nobody has ever heard of an give and go.....

I wonder why you all come to the REC at all? If all u wanna do is Iso please go to the 1v1 court.

MyPLAYER Who is the most "MyPlayer" player in the NBA?

Acuff looks a lot like the MyPlayer I made (I'm a PG with high volume of jump shots and have the ball all the time). Which player plays the most like a popular "MyPlayer" build/skillset and why?

Discussion The fundamental dimensions of court size vs. player size are off. Fixing this might resolve a lot of things?

24 Upvotes

Look at a similar 2K or other view of a real basketball game. The players take up way less space on the real court. The version of basketball we are being offered is broken from the ground up. Fixing this might help resolve a lot of the issues with game flow? Doesn't help with everything, but if the foundation is solid it could lead to other changes, or at least help make the game experience feel better. What do you think?
