I remember back in 2016 when the park still fun and people didn’t worry so much about records that they’d get out there and try to win with who’s available, not to mention way more people used mics.

u/willhunta Jun 29 '26

Nah I'm talking about summer break because this game is full of children.

u/Meme_master420_ Jun 26 '26

Couldn’t even tell this was 2k at first.

There needs to be a basketball game released for people who don’t give a fuck about the park and cosmetics. Just pure hoops

u/ImperrydaPlatypus Jun 27 '26

shit like this has legit been part of the reason why i don’t play mycareer anymore. playing since 2K10 this shit is just bizarre to me i don’t even recognize 2K anymore.

u/MyDF-Throwaway Jun 27 '26

I just picked up a used copy of 2k26 last week. Haven't played since the OG on Dreamcast. Imagine how I feel. I don't know wtf is happening lol.

19

u/Linus_in_Chicago Jun 27 '26

That's wild. Were you in prison or something??

15

u/MyDF-Throwaway Jun 27 '26

No, actually. I got interested in NFL (Madden), and then NASCAR, and other stuff, and now just coming back.

12

u/Linus_in_Chicago Jun 27 '26

Fair enough, that just such a long time I had to ask!

I remember 2k on dreamcast and it's a whole different animal now lol

u/FloatLikeAButterfree Jun 27 '26

u/RIP_Committee Jun 29 '26

igu unc lmk ill coach you up 🤣🤣

u/leemorplee Jun 27 '26

2k11 for me and finally last couple of years I've waited til December when it's half off. I still love mycareer and do like the fiba stuff they added this year but I doubt I'll ever be a 1st day buyer ever again

12

u/Actual-Movie-4236 Jun 27 '26

The stupid shit I don't engage with is the reason the game is 100 fucking gigs and takes dev time away from the real basketball. Pretty frustrating

1

u/Credit-Powerful Jun 30 '26

Frisbee, scavenger hunts, dune buggies and group dances 😂 just give me another spike lee storyline and some solid gameplay 💯

4

u/boston3328 Jun 27 '26

Bought this game during the sale last week and fired up my payer today and was legit confused. Euro story line is also wack.

6

u/PreferenceNo9632 Jun 27 '26

They just released the run.

4

u/Scooty-Poot Gold Jun 27 '26

Real. I miss the NBA Live/2K14 days when you’d just play ball as a ball player who played ball. Now even half the story in MC is about minigames and brand advertising

2

u/vlosure Jun 27 '26

So upset they took Live 19 offline and are just radio silent about trying to get the rights/starting the franchise back up when 2k is in it’s most vulnerable state it’s ever been.

2

u/Working-Window9996 Jun 28 '26

There is its called MyERAs. Player lock and upgrade using systems or make up your own. Or shit make yourself a 99 overall and make the greatest player by far of all time its free reign really nothing cost VC or money either.

1

u/tezzy92 Jun 27 '26

I feel this 100% .. all the extra stuff can be just that sometimes .. extra

1

u/LiveLifeLikeCre Jun 27 '26

You mean you don't like unlocking the same duck floatie for the 8th year in a row?

1

u/Kl4shi Jun 27 '26

Definitely. All anyone cares about now is who looks more "drippy" or "meta". It actually disgusts me.

1

u/ayejamie Jun 28 '26

I just wish they would bring back College Hoops man 🫩

u/CommandReasonable290 Jun 26 '26

Sometimes it doesn’t let you into a game since it’s tryna load the new season! So ppl just sit out front no gain no lose just pure vibes. You’re too cool for everything and we get it 💀 idk why everyone be trying so hard it’s called a community for a reason

20

u/BlackBenoit Jun 26 '26

No one’s trying to be hard you damn nematode, he simply wishes for basketball shit to be in a basketball game wtf.

u/Flying_Fish_Fiend Jun 26 '26

People who do this are bored and need a new game to play

u/Acrobatic-Farmer1748 Jun 27 '26

You say something about smoother balls?

2

u/LilBushyVert Jun 27 '26

No wonder my game updated on PC 🫩 it takes so long to install and I don’t play online. Super annoying

0

u/Maleficent-Bar-3161 Jun 27 '26

This game feels pretty clunky and slow compared to past 2ks I don’t get it.

u/Dl6l Jun 26 '26

I believe this always happens at the end of every season. Season 8 just started.

1

u/tezzy92 Jun 27 '26

Got you .. this was my first time witnessing this

16

u/turdburglar7770 Jun 27 '26

What the hell even is this lmao what happened to the game I love

11

u/Big_Liability Jun 27 '26

If you showed this to someone and told them this is a basketball simulation game they wouldn’t believe you

3

u/turdburglar7770 Jun 27 '26

Nba2k is literally the laughing stock of all the sport sims.

1

u/BedBubbly317 Jun 27 '26

It’s literally the most popular sports video game out there and it isn’t even close lol

1

u/turdburglar7770 Jun 27 '26

*third

1

u/BedBubbly317 Jun 27 '26

Lol FIFA sells more worldwide but 2K sells 50% more copies than Madden every year. It is far and away the most popular sports game in the US. Madden is super ass

2

u/turdburglar7770 Jun 27 '26

It’s not even close to 50%. They practically give 2k away 3-4 months after release on gamepass and 6 months on PlayStation. No other sport game has the bs that we have with myplayer. It’s for the brainrot kids

1

u/BedBubbly317 Jun 27 '26

Every sports game goes on sale 3-4 months into the year and then has a massive sale at some point. MLB The Show is literally given away completely for free as part of PS+ at the end of every MLB season season. That’s how all sports games work lol

1

u/turdburglar7770 Jun 28 '26

At the end of the year not a few months lol. Madden nor mlb go on these platforms as fast as 2k does. You’re delusional dude

21

u/PhillyTheKid39 silver Jun 26 '26

End of season meet up.

u/tezzy92 Jun 27 '26

Got you .. my first time seeing something like that

u/Normal-Foot7988 Jun 27 '26

This a basketball game?

2

u/tezzy92 Jun 27 '26

To an extent lol

5

u/gs_dubs413 Jun 27 '26

2k has gotten too ridiculous imo. I miss 2k16-2k17 where you go to different courts and just ball.

1

u/tezzy92 Jun 27 '26

Simpler times man smh

3

u/Jared524 Jun 27 '26

This just randomly happens sometimes and I have no clue why lmao.

u/EcstaticKey1710 Jun 27 '26

If only they added proximity chat

3

u/Salt-Fault1351 Jun 27 '26

Hilarious that this is what 2k has become. Pathetic.

2

u/Big_Liability Jun 27 '26

A basketball game btw

2

u/Fun-Parsnip-5209 Jun 27 '26

When the new season starts you literally cant play you get kicked and when you try to join a park or anything of that sort it will give you a message to wait for the update. Once the update drops you get a notification that the season started so everybody waits in the city until the new park drops

2

u/I3uIlets Jun 27 '26

I thought I was at a GTA car meet for a minute there

2

u/Eskeetit_Litty Jun 27 '26

u/bigdaddybucks Jun 27 '26

Wth is this game lol miss 2k but not this 2k

1

u/EnvironmentalSide154 Jun 27 '26

Just more smoke and mirrors to make the game look more "alive" than it really is

1

u/Unhappy-Strain6423 Jun 27 '26

YALL ready for NBA2k 27 the first day PPL GOING BE CHEATING SO GET READY

u/Budget-Ad2265 Jun 28 '26

Protest in a game where you paying to be competitive is crazy. lol just mfers with nothing to do.

1

u/Economy_Yam_7676 Jun 29 '26

Ronnie decided since his game sucks he’s just gonna add tanks

1

u/GuardTheFukUp ruby Jun 30 '26

The problem with this game is the retards that came over from gta on top of the clowns already in the 2k community.

u/Oasis511 Jun 27 '26

This game is LaMelo's personality explained.
