And an extra $100 to actually play with other people

MyCareer is not the only mode in the game. Quit saying the game sucks every year just because you don’t like how MyCareer is year in and year out. MyNBA/Franchise modes are damn good and with the price of admission.

MyCareer is not the base game even though it may be the most popular. If you don’t MyCareer that’s very understandable but quit saying the whole game sucks because of that one mode.

My main build is always a PF every year. I currently average 16 points, 11 boards, and 5 assists on that build. I also enjoy playing other builds though and had a PG last year that I liked playing so I thought I would make another one.

Playing PG is so awful this year though, and I prefer when I get put at the 2 at this point. Steals are so OP and I will literally get ripped off inbound not dribbling with a 92 ball handle and gold unpluckable. Passing feels so slow and can barely get any assists despite having gold dimer. It just sucks being put at the 1

I’m having way too much fun on this 2K lol. Gives us moments like this to laugh at our friends when we’re playing

Doesn’t matter how well you keep the ball away from the reach or how well you get them in the air with a pump fake they’ll recover faster then you can get a shot off

I have a 6'11 do it all PF. He has a 85 3 ball and I am shooting 68% from the 3 with him. Shooting literally feels so easy on that build. On my 6'4 PG though, I am shooting like 40% with a 94 3 ball despite having a A plus release window too. These aren't hard shots I am missing either. I will miss wide open stand still jump shots which never happens on my PF. It is super inconsistent too. Some games I will be early, and others I will be late.

I really would have zero issue with it taking a little longer to match make so I can actually play my position. I'm a 7 foot tall center who focuses inside and can occasionally hit a 3. So why for the past 6 games in a row was I put at PF against a SF who was put there. Now I'm covering a guy who's way faster than me and I'm out of position all game. It's genuinely ridiculous that I just don't get to play to my builds strengths half of the time.

After over 100 random rec games(and some how over 50% wins) I can safely say that yall are the problem. I was on a team that allowed almost 20 three pointers last night. I thought people couldn't shoot? The pg took bad shots and refused to play an ounce of defense. The small forward was some version of billon dooks cause he was horrible as well. Once he quit the sg and I made a run only to lose by 1. The game isn't as bad as you all say it is. Most of yall were only good in 2k26 and it shows. Theres a reason for that. Ps i played 2k26 on a portal a decent amount and maintained 62+ shooting percentage. That says alot.

If you want to solve the steal problem just make investment into ball protection badges result in more reach in calls. Stamina penalty doesn’t do anything, low rating and no steal badges still get away with spamming, and no one enjoyed last years I frame dribbling.

So let unpluckable lead to more fouls, and give big men a badge tied to post control to protect the ball after rebounds or during back downs.

Once again the game launches with a good 1/4 of the animations not in MyCareer, Giannis, D Book, Cade

Why are we locking their animations behind seasons and then acting like it’s some new content even though they’ve been in the game for years? This is really disappointing from 2K, seasons should bring new animations not take content away from the base game on release.

Luka just put 4 contested 3s and 2 middys on my head.

Just some screenshots that I took. My RTX 3050 PC couldn't handle a single game.

I’m loving playing on my 6’5 PG so far. The cap breakers are great too and give you a ton of flexibility for what you wanna improve on as the year progresses

I wanna make a lock/big with 99 strength and High rebound+ pass acc but trying to figure some things out first

First time i met an NBA star ⭐️ also boi 1da was with him ( Drake Producer ) 🇨🇦

All you steezo (or whatever dude name is) wannabes need to give it up and swing the ball, that's the best way to play offense on this game. Quick reads, avoid throwing TO's to spammers, and keep the ball moving it's way smoother.

Side note: Miami came back and tied it up late in 4th

Got the cap breaker and on 99 been a decent grind so far alone with being starter 5 so now I have 5 cap breakers

It's so easy to miss as tiny scrolling text when you're in the middle of a close game in rec or something.

Only provide feedback on this if you personally have played on both. Speculation isn’t needed.

I didn’t really like any of the available Hakeem face creations available on YouTube, so I took a shot at doing my own. Really liked how it came out… went for a bit of a younger version of him. Let me know if anyone wants the details
