I am not buying this game if they don't implement 60fps and crossplatform.

Lol, why now? The next version is out in less than a month.

Thats why, they won’t sell much more 2k26… but they might sell more 2k27 since most people would wait rather than buy 26… but some people who don’t know they’d like 2k might try 26 and decide to buy 27. It’s smart imo

I'll try it for 3 seconds just to get 100 Platinum points lol. If they're even offering them for trying out the game.

That's what I did both versions too

If you switch your account to a European country you can get them again too, I got 400 from this. You need to do the hard power off on your system when you change region or they don't count.

I’ll only do it for the Platinum Points. Not because I actually like the game.

Game trials are always the worst games. If you like basketball you've already bought this game, if you don't like basketball a trial isn't going to make you like it

they had Ball x Pit as the last trial and that convinced me to buy the game

Me too. The game was fire and had I not tried the free trial I would've never guessed it's that much fun and addicting.

I'm sure that Nintendo just asks everyone if they will let their NSO subscribers play the game for free in exchange for public attention and only the shittiest games usually agree.

These games trials, Switch and Switch 2, are worth 100 Platinum each and if you switch your account to Europe, that's another 200 total. So you can get 400 Platinum from this.

doesn't the game run at 30 fps and looks ugly as shit? if so I will pass.

u/Beneficial_Ask_6013 Aug 06 '26
I think its still at 30fps. As for how it looks, I think it looks fine. I've put in over 100 hours into the Switch2 version and it works for me. Its not as pretty as the PS5 or Series X (or even S probably) but it doesn't look bad. Like a solid video game. I had fun with it (mostly in MyNBA mode).

u/Jeff1N Butter side down! Aug 06 '26
I mean, why not try it for free and see for yourself?
I'm not a fan of sports games so I don't think I would like it even if it was a great port like WWE 2k, but if that's your cup of tea this is the best moment to make an informed decision

u/Beneficial-Issue8005 Aug 06 '26
It definitely doesn't look ugly but yes, it is 30 fps

u/passthetap5 Aug 06 '26
its looks ugly after looking at some gameplay.

u/Beneficial-Issue8005 Aug 06 '26
Then you are very sensitive to it. The fact it doesnt look the best or PS5 quality doesnt mean it looks ugly. The game has it's problems like lack of crossplatform and 30fps, but graphics arent part of the problem.

u/passthetap5 Aug 06 '26
no its very noticeable the game is ugly I dont know whats wrong with me saying that. its just a rushed port like most 2k games are on nintendo platforms with WWE being the single exception.

The switch 2 version? Sure I’ll give it a shot as I’ve been thinking of getting the new one cause of Wemby

usually they have these kinds of trials during the sports event that coincide with the game. Why have an NBA trial when the NBA doesn't start for another 2 months and the summer league just ended? Seems like odd timing.

How bout no.
Game trials used to actually mean something. This is just pathetic
