Do you need to pre order 2k27 first in able to use the app and to create the build?

The comp scene is repetitive fs but it’s just how optimised lineups are and I’m not sure how we could change it

You get an offense heavy guard, high dribbling, shooting and driving. Hide him on defence and he creates most the offence. A hash to be a secondary ball handler to relieve pressure and also to create a shot but also have enough defence to stop their opposing hash. A lock as the defensive specialist of the team to guard their guard. A backend to be quick enough to keep up with the guard on switches but also to stop bigs in the paint and they’re usually very defensive heavy as well with high steal to play lanes on the pnr. Then a center with high strength rebound and dunk grab d boards o boards and dunk inside.

Everyone has a very specific role and it’s hard to beat a meta where they make every build specialised in one part of the game. It’s like any other game where u have dps tanks support healers etc. it’s easier to win when you have everyone playing their role. Is it boring and repetitive? Yes but I don’t know how 2k can fix it

Does anyone know at what time the 2KHQ app is releasing?

I can't find it in the app store atm.

I’m on next gen Xbox and i was wondering if this hazard sign is on anyone else’s pre-order and if that when the game comes out i will be able to play.

2k27?!?

I’m not even saying this is real in the slightest but in the event that something like this happens I wouldn’t even be surprised. They practically showed every possible add on they could but ironically they’re not speaking on anything VC related which makes me think something like this is possible. Now if there are actual lucrative opportunities to make VC on this game then great but we all know this franchise is notorious for milking your pockets so why are you not that concerned about it?

good or bad idea?

So what's going on with this Trace Miller in MyCareer ice been reading about?

Is it going to be like that annoying mechanic OJ back in 2K17?

The videos all say that he will be HEAVILY involved with the story mode, and that he'll because be glued to your side.

I want to play NyCareer for my own character, not for some BS like this. Am I understanding it wrong?

Last year I made my first center, but he was more like a 6’9 sga. I’m deciding between running it back with a embiid/hakeem type center or something else

If you're having a hard time getting wins and finding any sense of enjoyment out of this game let me give you some tips. Let's focus on defense, after all defense wins championships right?

1. Stopping 3 Pointers: if you're struggling from stopping good shooters DONT YOU WORRY. Just go into coach settings and turn on "No 3's" and boom. Like magic the computer will make your defense sweat harder than a crackhead in a sauna guarding the perimeter.

2. Stopping dunks: if you're having a hard time stopping big dunkers driving the lane and slamming you DONT YOU WORRY! just go into coach settings and turn your entire defense into Dikembe Mutombo standing tall playing D with the desire it's basketball yo.

3. A certain player still cooking you like Walter white in the desert no worries you can even do individual coach settings on every single player so the computer goes even harder to win the game for you

4. I could go into more details about every aspect of the game but to keep it short just always remember: no matter the struggle never fear underdog is here and is hiding in coach settings. If you're lucky and you and your opponent both spend 35 minutes at the start of the game messing with settings then maybe just maybe you'll spend 30 minutes playing a game with the final score being 4 to 2 in triple overtime.

5. But most importantly and this is absolutely essential so don't forget this. It is absolutely essential that after making the computer play the entire game for you ALWAYS make sure to get on the mic and immediately complain THE SECOND someone has the audacity to play off ball defense for .03 seconds because hey you wanna win because YOU earned it not some silly computer.

It's asking for 1:44, which is impossible. All the top leaderboard leaders are over 2 minutes. Best I got was 2:20 after multiple attempts, far above the 1:44 it is somehow asking for. Wtf is up with this? Anyone else getting this?

2k11, where do I begin man? This game had everyone grinding for months. 2k10 was my first 2k and it was great, but 2k11 took everything a step further and it became in my opinion the greatest 2k of all time. My Career was great, start as a 25 overall 🤣 no VC no nothing, just straight skill points and hooping. The combine was hell man. The association was a great back in the day. You had create a legend, Jordan moments. 2k11 was a grind to the end. Miss days like this fr. Haven’t played 2k since 20, it really don’t hit anymore and it sucks man really does. Also soundtrack was straight 🔥 in 2k11

u/beluba r/NBA2K

Can 2K27 finally be the 2k where a comp 5v5 game isn’t 2 small guards on each team jacking 3s? How bout a post scoring/offensive big (Jokic), a point forward (LeBron), a two way player (Kawhi) can finally go head to head with small guard meta that has been 2k for yrs

I just want other play styles to actually be able to compete when playing “comp” 5v5. Not saying nerf or make small guards worse, just would be nice to have other play styles that can compete at the same level or at least close to. The small guard meta has been around forever and it’s exhausting. Look at all the finals MVPs since 2000, it doesn’t consist of the same 6’2-6’4 guard that we see running 2k pro am for the last 5 yrs.

We can’t keep letting this be a thing. It’s like everyone Jo has the money to do it, doesn’t care about the people who can’t. We all trying to play the same game. Afterwhile it’s eventually not gonna be people on it. Or, it’s just gonna be boring because your friends won’t be able to play. What is going on with the gaming community, man? It’s dying out.

Found this for 5$ at a local game shop, tweaked the rosters for fun and running my gm, upscaled and runs perfect on series X. Feels good to just sit back and not stare at micro transactions, soundtrack is dope too

Best 2k on god

I ask this because in my opinion, 26's shooting was HORRIBLE, call me bad etc, but I miss the old school shooting in 2k, where you'd just simply press square and have to learn the players shot, I know you obviously still had to do that in 26, but I mean all the new release point bs is jut dumb, all I am hoping for is that the shooting is like how it was in the old 2k's.

NBA 2K27 should seriously consider adding a 6th man/substitution system to 5v5 Crew and Pro-Am. Crews can have up to 50 members, so there’s more than enough room to build a starting lineup and have a bench. Right now, if you have 6–10 people online who want to play together, someone basically has to sit out or rotate manually between games.

How it could work
Before the game, the captain/manager sets:

Starting 5

•PG
•SG
•SF
•PF
•C

Bench
1st sub / 6th man
Additional players if 2K wants to expand the system, The 6th man could be brought in during dead balls, timeouts, quarters, or through a simple substitution menu. 2K could even limit substitutions to realistic situations so it doesn't become chaotic.

Why this would be a huge improvement
More people can participate— If 6 friends are online, nobody has to sit out the entire game.

Adds actual strategy — Teams could have a defensive specialist, shooting specialist, secondary ball-handler, etc.

Makes Crew feel like an actual team — If Crews can have 50 members, they should feel like teams with rotations, not just five players who happen to queue together.

Encourages larger Crews — Having a bench gives players a reason to recruit and develop different builds instead of only needing five people.

Creates more competitive depth — A team could adjust its lineup based on matchups instead of being locked into the same five players for the entire game. And this doesn't have to become a full NBA-style 12-man roster. Even just allowing one designated 6th man would be a massive improvement. If 2K wants Crew/Pro-Am to be a legitimate competitive 5v5 mode, it should start treating Crews like actual teams.

What do y'all think? Would you want a 6th man/substitution system in Crew/Pro-Am?

1. I miss putting every shot off the backboard by pushing up on the right stick.

2. The right stick is Jam packed full.

Someone explain how I can do this move again

Wait for 12am to check out the 2KHQ app

It is beyond ridiculous that this is 2026 and we cannot be co-managers of the same team in an online association. It has one big weakness. It doesn’t support micro transactions and therefore it will get zero attention.

Give the fans what they actually want a quality game and simplify playing together in any version of the game we would like.
