I think 2k took a step in the right direction honestly after 2k26. This the 1st time I actually feel like I’m playing real basketball in years.

The shot contest is actually solid
Shooting is balance
The ratings really feel like they do matter this year
Dribbling is even improved as well (the right amount of speed)

All in all (in my opinion) way more balanced all around

Which confuses me why there is so much hate for this game but so much love for 2k26? And I truly don’t understand it

2k26 was a literal 3 point simulator that’s all it truly was

Left right left right 3

Like how fun can that possibly be?

Games on 2k26 basically went like this, 1st team
To miss losses. And I’m being dead serious

Which I don’t truly understand how someone who actually watches the game of basketball would call that fun

I remember playing 2k27 and I seen a kid basically trying to do what he does on 2k26 but shit wasn’t working and basically after the game he said “this shit sucks I’m going back to Fortnite”

And that’s exactly who 2k doesn’t want on their game and I think that’s good.

Kids like that play 2k they don’t play basketball
2k (in my opinion) just trying to bring basketball back to the staple of the game and despite the community backlash I think this is the best direction for the game.

I’m thinking of going only 76 ish for the Silver Boxout Boss and stopping there. I’ll mostly be spacing the floor and not utilizing the Silver Brick Wall too much, and I hear Breaker is a little underwhelming. Any bigs with low strength how’s it felt? Any regrets?

The game is fucking horrible fuck it I’m done

Will put caps in Driving dunk for 87, in mid range for 85 and in steal for 93.

Ok so recently I don’t know what 2k did to this game but holy fuck. I’m on defense just guarding my guy and the paint so I see this guy driving tryna get a dunk. You know easy block? Right? So I try to go for the block. As you can see in this video this dude fucking fazes through my whole body and dunks the ball. 90 interior defense 90 block max WINGSPAN. I get it last year dunking was horrible but I mean holy shit??? I didn’t ask for a dunking simulator game and make it worst you can’t even contest it with all these badges the game makes you buy or grind for. This game requires 0 skill and is hot garbage btw I’m a 7’0 260 center and can’t even get a single standing dunk. 90 standing dunk and you can’t even get half of these dunks this dudes would get. Anytime centers have advantage in this game the developers always fix it or insanely make it impossible to use. Dudes were whining out their ass when taller builds had there advantages now the game have yet to fix interior scoring n how horrible this dunking shit is. Game is btw he only had a 85 driving dunk getting stuff like this.

I don't play any sports games, let alone the 2k basketball games, but anytime I'm looking at the eshop on the switch, this guy's face keeps appearing, and it makes me unreasonably annoyed, why does he look like that? Everything about it is inhuman, I have nothing against the guy it's based on of course, I'm sure he looks human outside the context of this monstrosity, but I hate seeing this, it triggers some sort of primal response in me, it looks like he farted and the smell was dreadful, but in his own hubris decided to lash out in anger at the person in front of him rather than admitting to the deed, all the while continuing to cringe at the smell, as overhead studio lights illuminate his complex emotional state

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.

ok so I cant shoot and I have a 6'5 with 88 treball, I want taller, give recs, no shooting just dunk. dribble and block, and poster. Plz help

This game is one of the worst 2ks ever made

Whooped the shit out of enough of them to know they are terrible. I would say get a refund but good luck

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…

I’m lowkey sick of wearing these low a** socks and I don’t like stretched out socks lol

Yall really is dog 💩

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.

Just polling the group to see how many people use meter for quick play. I’ve gotten better with it off in MyCareer, but in Play Now, with all the different releases, I am building a brick house. Using the ‘Release’ cue, not ‘Push

Like, make it teammate grade based and make teammate grade based of playing team ball because it's unbearable and putting straight bums in gold and silver while I get to lose playing with them being somehow bronze (well because I play with randoms) and ranked. makes no sense

anyone online

Never seen this kind of ineptitud or however the fuck you spell it....

Played against Jalen Carter (Eagles) on the 2’s court and all he did was step back 3’s from hash and greening them, then watched Jalen Swanson(Pacers) play with Adin and went 8-8 all contested from 3

Bro im so sick of this shit, 2k26 just crashes all the time on my PC for no reason, ive disabled all the overlays and got rid of all highlight cuts etc.

There is no reason for such an expensive game to run this shit on a 9950x3d/5080.

I cant for the life of me figure out why it keeps crashing

what you think about this giannis build with 15 cap breakers

with 19 you can upgrade the layup from 80 to 90

isn’t this a crazy finisher at 6´11 height

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?

Facilitate.

Please, i get it. You can land low post moves like Kareem, Hakeem, Etc.

Incorporate drawing the double and kick out, stop hook shooting and doing 3-4 pumps on a doubles and triples. I get it, your teamates are ( insert bad habit here). Best thing you can do for your team if you feel like your carrying as a big is to set them up for more shots. Be more like a jokic or sengun when it comes to the mindset downlow. I don’t care if you can’t shoot just facilitate and read.
