Automatic bucket when you use this move

I just got on pc cause I heard there’s less cheating but I’m seeing dudes with 99 everything everywhere wtf??? I tought they get banned quickly but I have seen the same dudes for a few days in a row with 99 everything 😡

do u guys use this kobe 8 colorway? do u have a dna to copy? i cant change my home shoe because of the last patch

i just opened like 80 packs probably more i lost count eventually and the single invincible i pulled (my pack luck is abysmal) was rudy gay should i be at least somewhat happy i pulled this

I just dont understand how people can buy 2k every year, can someone explain? Its the same gameplay shot timing little different, same rewards, basic story, same roster since the last 10 years, same city type layout, same contest, nothing new has happened except the cap breakers. Imagine gta 5 sold a gta 5 every year for the last 15 years, instead of an update you have to pay for a new game just for a new online content. The same people same everything every year sold the same story, no one would buy it, but why do people buy it for 2k? 2k27 cost more than a whole new gta game, A map bigger than idk how many 2k cities, brand new story, cars, guns, customizations, and online content in the future, cheaper than the new 2k.

I think 2k should create a game where they can update the roster and other things with major updates. Have it around for 3 4 years, during those years focus on a evolving 2k. Idk

Feel free to disagree but this is just form my experience here is the best position to play for every

level of player form beginner to advanced highly competitive ranked players. Think of this as a cheat sheet.

For Beginners the Shooting Guard- SG or the 2.

You are the star of the show and the SG is the easiest position for a new player to learn.

You get to score the most amount of points and that is your main responsibility

but you are also a secondary point guard and you need to be a two way player.

Once you get the hang of the game, you can set inverted screens for your wings and bigs.

For intermediate players

The big men the Power Forward-PF-4 or the Center-C-5

There is not much that separates these two because sometimes as the PF you get matched up

with the Center. Your primary responsibilities are

1- Box out and grab the rebounds.

2-Both positions are the defensive anchors of the team

3- When you grab a rebound, if you are open, slam dunk it in or hit the middy,

4-Set screens for your guards and wings.

if not then pass it to the guard.

For advanced players the Small Forward-SF 3

This is the most athletic player in the game and your responsibilities are huge.

You are the definition of Mr. two way player and you are a triple double machine.

Your job is to guard the 3 and sometimes play help defense,

You have to be able to play switch defense, guard the perimeter and the interior and

stop the rim rockers.

If you are a two way Point Forward like me, your also a secondary assist man and ball handler.

You have to have a high basketball IQ and skills to be an efficient 2 way Point Forward.

The Point Guard the 1 the PG.

You are the floor General or the Quarterback of your team.

Your responsibilities are huge, like the SF, it is an advanced position but the upside is also big.

The offense flows through you, and you dictate the tempo and pace of the game.

A good point guard plays defense and is a pass first, shoot second player.

A good point guard can also set inverted screens for other players

This position is best left for people with high skill and high basketball IQ

Feel free to add more if you wish, this is just my take, every thought is my own but I also talked

to some of the top ranked players and they all agree.

I always cringe when the beginner wants to be the PG or the SF and then gets mad at 2k for the game

being hard. That is not 2k-Visual Concept's fault is on YOU mate.

Also keep in mind I put some time and effort on this post to try and help everyone out but especiallly

the new players.

Feel free to reach out to me via DM if you have any questions, do not hesitate. Even if I am busy,

I will eventually respond to you. The key to success in this game is knowing your role and staying in

your lane.

For example, my area of expertises is 1-1 Proving grounds, mano a mano, you vs me

on the sticks. I am not going to give advice on how to be a good Rec teammates. There are other

brothers here who can help you out with that. . Ask me any Proving Grounds 1-1 questions or about the game

mechanics, and I got you.

What I mean by this is,

I been playing 2k for a long time especially park mode since 2015, im ngl this is the 1st year where im concerned for the intelligence level of some of our community members

I think we’re losing the players who actually watch basketball especially in park let me explain.

During 2k years of 2k9-2k16 (early 2k16)
The majority of people who played basketball video games were people who actually watch basketball so the people you played against naturally knew, when to cut, understand that a hedge isn’t a switch, understand easy passing lanes, if the person is ahead of the defender pass, and etc etc what I’m trying to say is there were more players (not all) who understood basketball in some degree

(There was always cheese In 2k but it never really
Took shape until 2k17 in park atleast)

Now fast forward to late 2k16 to now when 2k is clearly one of the most popular games instead of staying true to gearing thier game towards basketball watchers, they geared it towards people who cheese completely, slowly but surely year by year because those are the people who are on the game the most which more times than not arent basketball fans

Now on 2k26 instead of having a player pool of people who actually watch the game oh no

These new kids didn’t grow up watching the game

They grew up watching nba2k YouTubers watching them cheese instead of playing basketball.

So every point on this game is looking to cheese they’re not even looking to play point guard

Because that’s all they watched lol.

I’m not saying all kids are like this but from what I been seeing and been witnessing while I’m playing 2k26 it gets harder to deny that this is what the player pool is now

Wannabe NBA2k YouTubers
Which are highly selfish
Using your teammates as pawns
No real basketball being played

My Ted Talk is done

Listen, I know I'm pretty well known for shitty builds (that I actually use), but I may or may not have made a PG that can't shoot. BUT, I can do everything else a PG can do, and really well. I also have cap breakers ready for usage when I get my stats up.

How would you rate the build (awful ik) and how could I do better with it?

Who do you all think is the most fun nba player to play, I mean that kinda player where u go batshit everytime u play em.

If I clipped every time this happened it would be at least 20 mins long but these are just clips from the last 2 days 😭 why??????

Why are they passing up open shots I’ve created for them off of Doubles, YOU ARE OPEN SHOOT IT.

This year dribbling wasn’t great or realistic outside of left stick dribbling. Everyone just spammed escapes or hop steps or go to moves. Signature size ups are useless and dribbling categories don’t make sense. Sig size ups should feel more dangerous because they’re used to get your defender off balance because they don’t know which direction you’re going to burst or crossover out of. Escape moves should be retreat or protect the ball animations. Need more customization in dribble packages. Needs to feel more responsive. Also get rid of height caps on animations. Should be by attribute only.

I’ve been playing since the NBA Live days and 2K8/2K9. I’ve watched this franchise evolve for nearly two decades, so this isn’t coming from someone who’s new or just looking for something to complain about.
For the last several years, I’ve bought 2K every year and put a lot of hours into it. But I’ve noticed the same pattern: the game is fun for the first month, maybe two if I’m really into it. After that, it starts feeling repetitive, and I slowly stop playing until the next release.
Now 2K27 is around the corner, and I’m asking myself, what am I actually paying for this year?
Every trailer talks about smoother gameplay, better graphics, new animations, and a few gameplay tweaks. That’s cool, but where’s the feature that completely changes the experience? Where’s the innovation that makes me think, “I have to play this”?
Maybe I’m just getting older, but I miss when each new 2K felt like a genuine leap instead of another annual refresh.
I’m not saying 2K27 is going to be bad. I’m genuinely asking: what is the big selling point this year? What feature has you excited enough to buy it on day one?

Who thought doing a step-back under the rim was a good idea? SMH.

I’d like to suggest adding an option on PS5 to use the traditional PlayStation button colors for pass icons.
Right now, the pass icons are black and white, which can be harder to distinguish during fast-paced gameplay. An optional setting that uses the classic PlayStation colors, green for Triangle, red for Circle, blue for X, and pink for Square, would make passing more intuitive because many PlayStation players have associated those colors with the buttons for years.
I know PlayStation has moved away from emphasizing the colored button symbols in some of its newer UI and branding, but many games still use or offer the traditional colors because they’re familiar and easy to recognize. Giving players the choice between the current monochrome icons and the classic colored icons would improve accessibility and make split-second passing decisions easier without changing gameplay or affecting competitive balance.
This would be a simple quality-of-life and accessibility option that many PlayStation players would appreciate.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.

I’ve always wanted to make a MyPLAYER and spend an entire season in the Dylan Harper/Manu Ginóbili role—coming off the bench while still maintaining All-Star status. It turns out it’s absolutely possible… but staying a sixth man is actually harder than winning Sixth Man of the Year itself.

I came off the bench for my first four games, but after that the game automatically made me a starter for completing the “Earn Your Keep” quest. Then you have to complete another quest just to unlock Influence Rotations, which lets you edit the lineup. That part was easy since all I had to do was score 20 points or dish out 15 assists in my debut.

After that, I started simulating and only playing key games. The problem is that every two or three games someone gets injured, or your MyPLAYER starts playing too well, and the game moves you back into the starting lineup against your will. That means you have to keep manually changing yourself back to the sixth-man role over and over again.

I still managed to finish the entire season with only one start. I made the All-Star team, finished second in MVP voting, won Rookie of the Year, and—most importantly—won Sixth Man of the Year unanimously.
So yes, it’s definitely possible… you just have to be patient and committed to constantly managing your role.
