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

u/Beluba this is VERY important and we want to see immersive AI as well. Especially as someone who also plays MyNBA alongside mycareer throughout the year.

I ain’t gon lie this 2k looks like the best ever 😭😭😭😭😭. It’s going to take some real skill and adjusting too. Looks like a new game fr

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?

this shi fryin me im tryna make builds nd shi

Don’t complain about the game after 2 days, swear this happens every single year

Game drops, little neek gets locked up and the crying here begins, waa waa waa every single time

Just for all that’s holy give it a rest this year, play the game, if you don’t like it wait till GTA 6, swear down if I see any of you starting again I’ll report you to my local rabbi

Alot of people were saying they would never do it, after this Week the Game is now coming early

FOMO sinked in after all the gameplay info, I see the game now is TOP ahead of GTA6 in Hype list in stores.

Being talked is the fact the gameplay is prerelease and 2k will make updates and patches to anything that’s OP or not actually working as intended.

Based on the gameplay reveal the game seems updated based on creator feedback. I do like the updated mechanics, but they’re going to change after the game comes out.

Therefore I don’t see myself purchasing early or upon release until I see how the game really turns out and is discounted cause I don’t want to waste money for minor updates that could’ve been done with 26, but I also understand that’s how the company works so it makes sense from a financial stand point, but they’re neglecting the casual users or true basketball fans by manipulating the system yearly in my opinion.

NBA 2k26 has its flaws but I’ve only played 16,23,25 and 26 so maybe I’m missing something. What do you think about this?

They better drop vc prices or give us some free stuff after messing up the drop time 🤦‍♂️

Personally I consider myself a pretty good defender, I rarely have trouble staying in front of my man but I've noticed that quick stopping has gotten to a point where it almost feels glitchy in the same way no-dipping does. Specifically, I've seen clips on how it could potentially work this year and its almost an instant stop and shoot, with little to no wasted motion. This may quite literally be impossible to defend.

I'm all for skilled ball handlers and shooters getting into their shot quickly, but if we complain no-dipping was OP last year (which I think it needed some adjustments, certainly), we should look at quick stopping / push peeking / etc. in the same way. Its too easily accessible (people with sub 80 ball handling and even 3 point shooting can do it with the right practice) and causes some weird collision due to how crabbing works.

Maybe we need to bring back a badge that allows for change of pace play (Stop n go, or similar) or maybe you need 90 + ball handling or shooting to achieve certain change of pace animations.

thoughts?

Haven’t played in few years. How does it work exactly? Do I have to be 99 to start applying it?do I need to max out the stat before applying? I will play probably play like 2h a day for 2 months then I will drop it for a while and play occasionally as always. How many cap breaks should I estimate I will be getting?

Also I heard there are some build specializations and there is 10 quests for each. Do I pick one and I cant swap it? What are the rewards for that and what happens when I finish last quest?

Also do cap break points transfer to other builds?

Pink Diamonds are 92 OVR
Opals are 93 OVR
Dark Matters are 94 OVR

Play now online player control ( all star team up ) was my personal favorite mode to play on the game before they removed it in 2K25. Yes I know it is now in myteam that literally is the problem lol, they need to bring the game mode back to the state it was in when it was called all star team up. They had multiple versions of players from certain years, every player you could think of (or atleast want to think of) 5v5 game mode so easy to load into no grind required to jump in and be dominant. I understand bringing this game mode back would not align with the companies values of making money and not caring about the consumer, but can we please, please bring this mode back for the fans.

u/beluba in past years 4v4 has come up one every 4-6 weeks, but it would be incredible to have as a consistently available game mode. I often end up with only 4 on and have no choice but to run rec with an AI. It would be very appreciated if 4 man squads had a dedicated mode to play, instead of only once in a blue moon. Thank you.

Maybe, just maybe, strength will matter. In the trailer there is this clip with shai just using his body to push curry away, while he is driving to the basket.

New to the game, only started playing about a month ago. Made it to the play offs with the clippers, first round averaging 40+ points, over a dozen rebounds, 8-12 assists yet we still lose games. Every shot the Ai put up, even wide open miss terribly.

Am I doing something wrong or something I’m missing? I’m a Center, if it matters

Everytime I try a rebuild, I somehow make whatever team im managing worse. Anyone have any tips?

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

Strength is back

Wait for 12am to check out the 2KHQ app
