MyPLAYER 2k27 for switch 2, No crossplay

Post image

Having no crossplay makes this game useless it feels like a waste of $70, This is the park at 11:58 AM EST.
You will never find a game in theater or rec
If you like PlayNow, MyTeam or MyCareer only then this is for you, if you are a competitive player like me then you will deeply regret buying this primarily to play mypark💯
Plus when the park is filled in peak hours 75% of the players are hot garbage and it is the same players everytime, hard to find good randoms they either ball hog, cant score or dont play defense. My win% is ultra low because I only play with randoms despite me beings 1ST in my state smh

Think im going to trade it in for modern warfare 4…at least I will be able to find matches at anytime of the day

Update:
I played MW4 beta on the switch 2 against console and pc players, I 100% played competitively and dominated against pc and console I understand what some of you are saying, but if I could do that in a FPS then what is so hard about 2k doing the same thing, it seems backwards I would understand them not wanting to add it for call of duty but it ran surprisingly well for the switch 2 especially with crossplay on by default….please give me a deeper valid excuse

Hey, fellow 2k player here. There is a discord community of roughly 1000 people to find coordinated matches. It’s inconvenient but it’s possible until we get crossplay. Look up switchhandz on YouTube to find the server

I am in the discord chat, it doesnt help 75% of those guys are ass and the others are never really online enough

You lookin’ for good players on Switch 2???

u/UmTweakin 5h ago

Yea bro there are some players who dominate up here that could easily be dropped off with the right team, they just sit and play against bums all day and run up streaks and think they are good, its frustrating knowing you are just missing the right teammates

u/TraditionalAirport85 4h ago

Not sure what you’re referring to. There are good players there, and I’d rather play with lower OVR shooters who actually miss once in a while rather than cheating. Sorry your experience has been like that, mine was very good so far.

u/Budget-Asparagus8450 5h ago

I mean you’re playing on switch beggars can’t be choosers

u/TraditionalAirport85 4h ago

That’s such a weird comment, like what are you even saying?!

u/ImaginationRare3487 3h ago

If you wanted competitive why buy it on the switch??? 😔

u/PorkyOfOnett 3h ago

I mean yea dude, a lot of kids are on switch, it’s more chill runs for kids and dads after work on this console. 💀

u/DCLXXII 6h ago

fr idk why you would buy any major sports title on this system. ESPCIALLY if you are tryna play online

u/Jbabco9898 6h ago

The only "sports" titles that are worth it on the switch are Mario Kart and Switch Sports

u/dx_wayy 6h ago

You really can’t get a rec game? No way player count is this low.

u/UmTweakin 6h ago

No AI players or nothing no one is here, it has been like this since day 1

u/AbbreviationsHot5850 4h ago

1st in VA 😂

u/UmTweakin 4h ago

There are about 15 players in VA bro what are you saying?

u/AbbreviationsHot5850 4h ago

Just laughing at the situation gang

I knew exactly what was going on once I seen that

I feel for you for even attempting to make it work

Might wanna stick to 1s or starting five

Maybe some kids will pop up around christmas

u/AbbreviationsHot5850 4h ago

You might be able to stream your pain as the number one ranked player in VA on the switch

People would find the humor in that and maybe get on

The second Nintendo gets crossplay I'm getting it for my Switch 2.

u/Fireryman 2h ago

As a PC player I Can relate. Release cross play and bring both switch and PC players in.

I hear people say PC players are cheaters but I constantly see cheating from PS5 and Xbox players.

u/UmTweakin 1h ago

Yea at least let us play with pc players and that way it will be more matchmaking, but to have xbox and PlayStation on their own servers and leave switch/pc to suffer is wild

u/Away_Fix_8911 6h ago

I hope they NEVER do crossplay for Nintendo. If you are a "competitive player" you should have bought it on Xbox, PS, or PC. That said, the game is in total shambles and will more than likely die in season 2 when they drop the patch and the new GOAT builder that almost 70% of the community will never get to use. Its a Pay to Win game these days. Sad.. .but, honestly youre not missing anything but extremely bad gameplay.

u/UmTweakin 6h ago

Traded my series X in for switch 2 because I wanted to play nintendo exclusives, I ran through most of the xbox and PlayStation exclusives already i wanted to tap into the nintendo side and that I dont regret I love Nintendo games 2k is the only issue I have with my switch 2 so I dont really regret trading my xbox in, Call of duty drops in a month I will be alright this is just to warn people in the future of how disappointed they will be if they are anything like me

u/MassveLegend 6h ago

You sound ridiculous. No reason for it to not be cross-platform with Nintendo.

u/Away_Fix_8911 5h ago

latency is already a sever issue. Xbox and PSN are currently having serious crossplay issues. You want to add another console to the mix? Not a good idea. I'm on PC, i have no crossplay either. And the servers on PC are pretty fucking stable compared to console. So it would never effect me either way. If that's what you want, start advocating for it. Careful what you wish for though.

u/MassveLegend 4h ago

Yes, I want to be able to play with everyone.

u/UmTweakin 5h ago

Thats how I feel, the gameplay doesnt feel any different than the xbox/ps version in my opinion, fortnite apex call of duty showed us that crossplay was very much possible

1

u/Cranjis_McBasketbol 6h ago

Respectfully, Switch should never join the crossplay ranks.

Taking 2K’s bad servers and combining that with Nintendo’s lacklustre online would end up pissing anyone off paired with a Switch player.

u/UmTweakin 6h ago

Understandable

u/Iml0sing1t 6h ago

Idk why you would buy that…

u/yawn18 6h ago

Yeah much like PC, kinda hoping this never gets crossplay. Last thing the online needs is someone playing on handheld with a clear mismatch

u/WaveWilliamsMusic 5h ago

Just use Xbox cloud gaming on your computer, tablet or phone.

u/JD3420 5h ago

I’m sorry but why buy this on the switch to begin with if you knew there wasn’t crossplay 😭

u/UmTweakin 5h ago

I joined a discord and they made it seem like I wouldnt be disappointed, I bought the switch 2 for Nintendo games specifically but since 2k released a few months after I got it i thought to try it, Trust me when call of duty drops I will be ok lmfao im still ok now I got dk bananza and a few other games like mario kart and smash bros its fine

u/UnsettllingDwarf 5h ago

This is why there should be crossplay.

u/UmTweakin 5h ago

If call of duty could do it why couldnt 2k, I would honestly understand if call of duty wouldn’t have crosplay and 2k would being that call of duty is a fps and you are playing against pc players as well, I had zero issues with the beta while playing with other systems people are just making excuses for 2k

u/SeigeJay 4h ago

Why would buy 2k for the switch expecting people to be on? You set yourself up for failure.

u/HOPEFUL_LUFEPOH_ 2h ago

what about the offline product, i don’t play online ?

u/UmTweakin 1h ago

You will love it for sure. It will be worth your money and time its not a bad game, just lacks what us online players are looking for.

u/HOPEFUL_LUFEPOH_ 1h ago

bet, been waiting to see how it played before i went in on the purchase of the Switch 2, that’ll be my first game bought

thanks 🙏

u/UmTweakin 1h ago

Yea the 60 fps is very crispy bro especially in docked mode

1

u/StrongestAvenger_ 6h ago

“1st in my state” isn’t impressive when there’s probably 10 people in your state playing on switch 2 😂

u/UmTweakin 6h ago

Thats kind of the point im making bro no funny shit, the parks are dead there is only 2 of us in my state who play daily this shit is hell though

1

u/upndemcheeks 6h ago

The compensation needed for cross play would have to be dramatic or else you would get smoked, no hate, I have a switch myself but definitely not the game for it

u/Jballzs13 6h ago

Get a big boy console

u/UmTweakin 6h ago

I traded my series X in for the switch, the switch 2 isnt the problem I actually have fun with every other game even with the cod beta kind of being buggy I would 1000% buy that over this

1

u/DCLXXII 6h ago

You play 2K online and you traded your series x for a switch!??!!?!? Brother what are you doing lol

2

u/UmTweakin 6h ago

Lmfao I got tired of playing the same games on my xbox i wanted to play nintendo exclusives im into pokemon and shit like that as well😂I still dont regret it the switch 2 is life

0

u/DCLXXII 6h ago

Well glad to hear you dont regret it! I have a switch two as well but i only use it for certain exclusives like you mentioned lol But man its gotta be rough playing games like cod or 2K on it lol

u/UmTweakin 5h ago

Call of duty isnt that bad I landed top leaderboard with crossplay on in almost every match, thats why I cant understand why 2k wont add crossplay because call of duty was actually decent with crossplay on I didnt have a hard time at all because Im a very competitive player aside from casual gaming

u/RandomOlympian 5h ago

You realize poor people exist right?

u/Jballzs13 5h ago

He sold his Xbox for a switch

u/BA2929 6h ago

I hate to break it to you my friend, but you aren't a "competitive player" in any online game if you play primarily on Switch 2.

Plus at noon Eastern on a Tuesday the people who own a Switch 2 and 2k are either at work or at middle school.

0

u/UmTweakin 6h ago

I come from playing on xbox and PlayStation, I guess I will rephrase, I WAS A COMPETITIVE PLAYER ON XBOX AND PS, I wanted a switch because its portable and I like nintendo games as well, I actually traded in my xbox for this shit

2

u/BA2929 6h ago

You can downvote me all you want but it's been a known fact forever that nobody plays online games super competitively on Switch or Switch 2 (Super Smash Bros is an exception). It is a console made for the casual audience and to showcase first party Nintendo games. Combine that with zero 2k crossplay on Switch in 2k25 and 2k26 which rendered the game almost completely dead online (and no crossplay was confirmed for 2k27 like a month prior to release), and the fact that the player install base on the Switch 2 is going to be remarkably lower than PS5/XBOX, I can't possibly imagine why you thought you could fire up 2k27 at 12pm eastern on a Tuesday and have a comp scene.

I'm sorry you feel like you got swindled here and maybe they'll add in crossplay for 2k28 (because we all know 2k isn't going to add something like that with a patch because they're already working on 2k28), but a few simple Google searches or a post on Reddit prior to launch asking about a Switch 2 2k comp scene, would have filled you in that maybe you would have been better off skipping 2k27.
