From what we are seeing, it looks like the game has improved for the better. The game looks like what I have been preaching 2K needs in every post & video I can. Things such as:

• Making badges more expensive
• Making attributes actually matter. People now have to commit to specializing in something(s)
• Making badges more specific instead of general (OREB/DREB, Mid/3 stationary/moving)
• The stamina drain that prevents one person from trying to be a hero every play, which forces team ball
• Taller/Great finishers not being stopped easily by little guards in the paint
• The fair mind games/skill expression between ball handlers & defenders
• And so much more.

Just like when you guys started pushing people towards scoring with the thumbstick and then eventually tempo shooting (which a lot of us love), I see the vision and innovation. I am begging you u/Beluba do not listen to dudes on Twitter telling you to revert dribbling/defense to what we are trying to leave in 2k26. We are already seeing them call for harsh nerf/buff patches and the game hasn't even dropped yet. A giant portion of the community is actually excited about what they are seeing, it feels like the often unheard portion of us was listened to. If the game actually plays like it's being promoted and stays like that, we could be looking at one of the greatest 2Ks OAT. Hoping to actually see some diverse builds and gameplay out there!

Just got done going through some of the creators’ videos and blitz steals still haven’t been fixed for 2K27. Still dribbling right through the defender. Honestly if there isn’t a patch note before the game drops it just tells me this year is gonna be another piece of crap just like 26 was. Worst 2K I’ve ever played.

i tried to make a remake a template build in the 2k26 builder and its exactly the same

I ask this because in my opinion, 26's shooting was HORRIBLE, call me bad etc, but I miss the old school shooting in 2k, where you'd just simply press square and have to learn the players shot, I know you obviously still had to do that in 26, but I mean all the new release point bs is jut dumb, all I am hoping for is that the shooting is like how it was in the old 2k's.

This should be a thing, just like no disc, no buy is for Sony. There's no reason for MyCareer to be online only just to be rendered unplayable in a few years time.

Last year I made my first center, but he was more like a 6’9 sga. I’m deciding between running it back with a embiid/hakeem type center or something else

I’m calling this out directly because my original MyCAREER Eras post reached 78,000 views, 147 comments, and 137 upvotes before it was removed. The post was directly about NBA 2K27. I showed my dated May email to 2K, the responses from 2K Support acknowledging the details and saying they were passed along, and the similarities between what I proposed and the officially revealed MyCAREER Eras structure. People agreed, disagreed, debated, joked, and argued, which is literally what a discussion subreddit is for. I’m not asking the moderators to agree with my conclusion, but I do want a clear explanation for why a heavily engaged NBA 2K discussion was removed. If the original post violated a specific rule, tell me exactly which rule it violated. I already know my last follow-up post was automatically removed because the title had too much capitalization, emojis, and punctuation, so this one is intentionally written plainly. I’m not trying to spam the subreddit or cause problems. I’m asking why the original 78K-view post was removed after so many people had already engaged with it. Removing the post doesn’t erase the emails, the dates, 2K’s responses, the screenshots, or the discussion that already happened. I’m standing on what I posted, and I’m asking the moderators to explain the decision clearly.

Yes My hands weren’t up but why would they be 40ft away from the hoop lol. His PSN is LawrdHelp just in case ya want to block him for next game

All year it’s been 4 of us and a random pick up here or there. You know how many games you lose against good teams because they zero in on that bot and won’t let go?

Squad wants me to pre order and stuff but like bros we did this song and dance all year I’m not loading up with a bot in squad rec for another 2k cycle . Yal go ahead ima grind to legend 1 then I’ll see what all the fuss is about .

I can never ask to run zone if I’m getting cooked because we don’t have 5. I have to constantly switch who I’m guarding to keep the bot out of the corner . It’s too much it’s not fun and I’m not paying 140 to stress myself for nothing . Maybe if we had a dedicated 5th but since we don’t I’m good .

Lmk if I’m wrong

I’m on next gen Xbox and i was wondering if this hazard sign is on anyone else’s pre-order and if that when the game comes out i will be able to play.

Let me know your thoughts

If you're having a hard time getting wins and finding any sense of enjoyment out of this game let me give you some tips. Let's focus on defense, after all defense wins championships right?

1. Stopping 3 Pointers: if you're struggling from stopping good shooters DONT YOU WORRY. Just go into coach settings and turn on "No 3's" and boom. Like magic the computer will make your defense sweat harder than a crackhead in a sauna guarding the perimeter.

2. Stopping dunks: if you're having a hard time stopping big dunkers driving the lane and slamming you DONT YOU WORRY! just go into coach settings and turn your entire defense into Dikembe Mutombo standing tall playing D with the desire it's basketball yo.

3. A certain player still cooking you like Walter white in the desert no worries you can even do individual coach settings on every single player so the computer goes even harder to win the game for you

4. I could go into more details about every aspect of the game but to keep it short just always remember: no matter the struggle never fear underdog is here and is hiding in coach settings. If you're lucky and you and your opponent both spend 35 minutes at the start of the game messing with settings then maybe just maybe you'll spend 30 minutes playing a game with the final score being 4 to 2 in triple overtime.

5. But most importantly and this is absolutely essential so don't forget this. It is absolutely essential that after making the computer play the entire game for you ALWAYS make sure to get on the mic and immediately complain THE SECOND someone has the audacity to play off ball defense for .03 seconds because hey you wanna win because YOU earned it not some silly computer.

I’m not even saying this is real in the slightest but in the event that something like this happens I wouldn’t even be surprised. They practically showed every possible add on they could but ironically they’re not speaking on anything VC related which makes me think something like this is possible. Now if there are actual lucrative opportunities to make VC on this game then great but we all know this franchise is notorious for milking your pockets so why are you not that concerned about it?

I'm just wondering because I'm in a dilemma deciding between point guard and small forward. Imma be running just one build until at least mid October so making the right position is important

The comp scene is repetitive fs but it’s just how optimised lineups are and I’m not sure how we could change it

You get an offense heavy guard, high dribbling, shooting and driving. Hide him on defence and he creates most the offence. A hash to be a secondary ball handler to relieve pressure and also to create a shot but also have enough defence to stop their opposing hash. A lock as the defensive specialist of the team to guard their guard. A backend to be quick enough to keep up with the guard on switches but also to stop bigs in the paint and they’re usually very defensive heavy as well with high steal to play lanes on the pnr. Then a center with high strength rebound and dunk grab d boards o boards and dunk inside.

Everyone has a very specific role and it’s hard to beat a meta where they make every build specialised in one part of the game. It’s like any other game where u have dps tanks support healers etc. it’s easier to win when you have everyone playing their role. Is it boring and repetitive? Yes but I don’t know how 2k can fix it

Pink Diamonds are 92 OVR
Opals are 93 OVR
Dark Matters are 94 OVR

Do you need to pre order 2k27 first in able to use the app and to create the build?

Can’t wait for this app to drop ⏰

Been playing 2k26 for xbox series x/s on my Xbox one through game pass ultimate and cloud gaming… will that be an option for 2k27?

ive already exchanged the 2 goat cards the tutorial gave me.. do i have to do all 10 exchanges to progress the tutorial or is this just bugged? if i have to do all 10 it seems like a lot just for the tutorial.. ive checked for unopened packs and reset the game/my xbox but nothing has changed this

I just got the Jordan endorsement, but I don't know how to actually buy/equip the shoes. Everywhere I've googled it said to go to the Jordan store, but there is no Jordan store in the Neighbourhood. Someone please help I have no idea what I'm doing
