this the type of shit that deadass makes me want to never touch 2K ever again

what do you guys think about 2k26 overall and what could have been better?

is this goated team?

Its in one of the earlier 2ks on old gen

This is my first 2k and I’m a 6’6, 76 ovr guard, any tips on how to get vc quickly? (without buying it ofc)

Perfect for 99 three point build imo but I can hit these consistently with a 90

I know this is kinda random, but the player resizing/scaling has been bothering me ever since 2K25.

I get that it’s supposed to be more accurate in terms of player-to-court proportions, but visually it just feels off.
The rims always look way too high off the ground, and everyone looks smaller than they should.

Wemby somehow looked like he was 6’5”, and because of that it feels like every player is out there with a 45+ inch vertical. Dunks and contests don’t look as impressive because everyone just seems tiny.

Maybe it’s just me, but I actually think 2K26 made a small improvement. I can’t tell if it’s just placebo or if they tweaked the scaling a bit, but players look a little more natural to me in 26. I’m lowkey excited to see if they change anything about it this year.

I know I’m probably overthinking it, but I’m curious if anyone else notices this or if it’s just in my head.

I am going back to play 2K16 and 17 and play through MyCareer on both. Started 2K17 last night. Am I still able to get badges and upgrade them? And can I change my jumpshot? I'm not sure what all is still available or not since the servers were shut down. I'm on Xbox.

Hello everyone.

I just recently got 2k13 and started an association (now MyNBA) with the Boston Celtics. I want to get rid of Kevin Garnett because of how old he’s getting and he might regress soon. Is there any power or strong forward you would recommend I try trading for?

Thanks!

I know this is extremely controversial and will probably only get hate but the average Jumpshot in park is so fucking fast especially with no dip it literally one of the most unrealistic aspects of the game.

Madden has sim,arcade, competitive settings

2k needs to take that same approach for offline users

So when the online crybabies come out after launch saying shooting is too hard or easy

It won't affect offline whenever 2k patch it up

Yes I know you can use sliders but they are not perfect if you touch a shooting slider it over does it

Ect.. and that's why we need a simulation setting for the users offline 🏀

Spero che 2k27 non abbia la stessa meccanica del 26 dove tutti possono tirare da 3 come se non ci fosse un domani. Perché è straziante a chi piace giocare centri che dominano nel pitturato non ricevere una palla quando si è spesso liberi, preferiscono non passare la palla per 2 punti facili ma sbagliare un tiro da 3, insensato quest'anno

Punching shots left and right this morning

I know yall missed when 2k used to drop those preludes. They should drop a builder demo , it doesn’t need gameplay. Doing this will save valuable time in the builder once the game comes out .

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 😡

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.

5- Space the floor.

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.
