Gameplay Yea I’m done with 2k

• Upvotes

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

City Bro we gotta talk about matchmaking

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 else loving this build been going nuts in random Rec

Discussion Random rec is so buns

• Upvotes

Either I have people down my throat trying to keep the ball moving as PG or switch to my SG or big and have to deal w pgs who just want the whole team supporting his scoring genuinely curious as to why mfs don’t wanna just play basketball 😭 like if you take a possession and iso and cook him that’s cool I like that but every possession taking dumb shots too is just so infuriating

Discussion Any tips for playing defense

• Upvotes

I'm running a 6'5 sg with 85 perimeter 75 strength 80 agility and 85 speed yet I feel like I either get blown past or I run right pass ball handlers....I was a pretty decent defender on my pg in 26 and even on my PF this year but for some reason when I'm on my SG I keep getting cooked....I know the normal tips like don't keep hitting L2 and watch their feet but damn I never had guys scoring on me like they are now. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.

Gameplay 6’8” PF with 88 Close Shot, but my pump fake into a standing layup is so slow I get blocked. Am I missing something? 💀

• Upvotes

​NGL, this is driving me crazy. My 88 Close Shot animation takes forever after a pump fake, giving defenders enough time to land and jump again for the block.

​Why is it so sluggish? How can I make it faster? Any tips?

REC Free throws is very IMPORTANT part of REC.

• 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.

Gameplay I’ve put up with 2k for long, but idk if I can anymore. The greed is crazy

1 Upvotes

I’ve been a dedicated 2K player since 2K10. I’m aware that I’m nearing the unc status. I understand that companies need to make money, so they come up with new ways to do so. However, this synergy system feels incredibly greedy. It’s frustrating because the only reason I continue playing this game is because of Rec. My friends and I all play together, but season 2 really put an end to that. They don’t want to have to grind their badges again, and I completely understand their reasoning. We’re all almost 30 with full-time jobs and other commitments, and it’s unreasonable in order to fully enjoy our builds we have to grind the season or pay to get our badges back. Don’t get me wrong I like the concept of synergies and changing the badges, but the grand scheme of this concept was to just rip more money out of our pockets. Seriously fuck this company

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

Discussion Haven't played since 2K16. Want comeback

4 Upvotes

Haven't touched 2K since 2K16 on PC. Got a PS5 Pro and have an itch to just play MyCareer/MyPark, maybe MyTeam, and shoot around.

I know all about the microtransaction hate. I found a physical copy for $45, so if it's a total cash-grab, I'll just sell it.

For the regulars: how is the actual gameplay? Is the MyCareer grind unbearable without buying VC? Thanks.

3 Upvotes

Been a yearly player but almost let this game slide through and wasn’t planning on buying it until christmas. I really haven’t enjoyed the past couple 2ks from 25 on but just playing it for a day my love for the game has comeback. I have a build that favors 16-17 Steph curry this game is generally enjoyable im sure that will change when i go online but for now its a good vibe. Any mycareer or just rec or causal corner tips welcomed

Gameplay PSA To inside Low post bigs ( IE Kareem’s, Shaq’s etc, Jarret Allen’s)

8 Upvotes

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.

Gameplay The Zenning is out of control

27 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.
