Take a look at my 2nd place rivals ticket reward. I’m not one to throw dirt I just enjoy seeing the posts, but after wasting more than a couple hours yesterday this is the reward I receive today. This year feels like hot garbage to try and retain engagement rather than reward time spent.

* Edit: everyone keeps using the word “crying” as if I’m furious or mad. The point of this post was to reflect on the fact that 2k does not value your time spent. I’m not sure if all the people responding with “crying” comments are just 2k bots? Genuinely confused?

***2nd edit: I see some people saying they play one or two games and get top 3. Is the game purposely putting players who play more vs less together and keeping them separated in order to farm further longevity of engagement? I play a game or so every day and rarely get placed in top 5. I am also a big and play crew and random rec.

*** it’s wild we cannot have a real conversation. Everyone just throwing mud and yelling at each other.

I believe there are 2 sides of the community. One who prefers simulation style, and the other side prefer a more flashy style.

Why not split your modes into 2: 2K sim for more realistic gameplay. And 2K lights out for flashy gameplay.

Example:

MC sim and MC lightsout. Let people choose which side they wanna go

Please stop believing A.I

Pretty much the title here, but can someone explain to me why anyone would watch other people play games? How is this even remotely entertaining vs. playing yourself? Work on your game/craft and let die the chatroom and random dude who's been on his ass for 8hrs running the same cheese.

Like, bro, why you think going 5/18 from the field is a good achievement? But then again, walking around the city and seeing clown a**es flying on hoverboards like the Green Goblin or wearing space robot skins and Sneakers for heads, and I remember the game is made for 15yr olds and I question myself what am I doing.. Damn, I wish there was a proper basketball game out there..

I just got 2k27 I bought Vc I’m a 84 overall no badges and spawn in a purple plate now I have to go against other purple plates that been had 2k27 and they 99s ovr crazy stats I can’t even dribble or move around losing stamina losing games messing up my win percentage is sad and I don’t even wanna play 2k nomore and so you telling me if I don’t play 2k I’m a purple plate ima be a purple plate in 2k28 which is stupid I’m done

2K immediately came to mind.

I was playing magic and bird era when after the game I couldn’t get out from the locker room to the city. My player was stuck and I had to reinstall the game. Logged back in and all my shooting specialization was gone and my player could not go into magic era. Everything about this game is just off!

The current earn rate is ridiculously slow. Crew XP should not take multiple seasons just to get to 40. My crew has been full since early access with 35-40 regulars with 10-15 rotating randoms and we play a ton and are just level 16.

Badgeplug’s crew of hardcore sweats is only level 32.

Can we please make this a reasonable grind from the average player?

Does anyone know what that new update was about? (Not yesterday, 9/30/2027). I'm refering to this morning, like within the past 20 minutes of 10/01/2027.

I play only single and the association, On level pro opposite team manages to keep it up first two quarters and then slowly fade away, mostly easy win 10-20 points. All star makes me rage quit few times bc other team plays insane, meanwhile i can't even shoot properly, team defends like pro gamer, I keep losing the matches. I mean it should be little more balanced no?

Dunk on bigs with small guard - no probs. 60 pass? - absolute dots.
25 strenght and no strong handle? Not a problem. Dribble how and where u want expose the ball as much as u want. U wont loose it.
High rebounding terrible spacing? Game got you ball will bounce straight into your hands again.
Unstoppable drives and dunks? U got it boy!
Left right dribble spam sprint, quickstop and pullup? Works perfectly with the new game speed.

Bring em drippy face builds out now boys!

I sincerely don't understand why people at the end of matches start trashtalking like of i had killed their mother or something. Like, we played a good, either one of the teams lost, why get salty anyways? Just say gg and move on or don't say anything at all

If only the announcers could get more hype on plays like this

Was talking to my pal about this and thinking why on earth don’t they just matchmake rec based on rep level?

Im a casual, starter II, but every now and then have a few good games in a row and end up in gold or purple plate rec against elite red plates with geo ranks…

The biggest skill gap in the game is between those who play maybe a couple hours a day, and those who’ve already got 200+ hours in a game that’s barely a month old. Am I missing something or is rep not obviously the clearest way of indicating skill level???

Making a tall guard and was wondering if the difference between the zach lavine dribble style and scoot henderson is worth building around or I should just get more post control and strength.

So I have 5 builds and I do the daily challenges for the extra 1000 VC between the guest challenger and the one where you play with one of the guest for the day 2 games for the other. I noticed a couple of my builds only offer the challenge guest challenger daily and not both. Does anyone know what it is that unlocks both street kicks daily challenges?

Anybody know what it means when this little full court icon appears?

I'm curious how the majority of players are shooting over a month in?

I've tried both and they both feel inconsistent to me. Some games timing feels wet and some games it's rhythm.

Wondering how everyone else feels about this

Laughing out loud rn. Playing 2K mobile for the first time. Won 10 games to unlock my first 99 ever and I get 99 bronny😂

If you guys know me (maybe, maybe not, idk)... then you guys may have seen multiple posts from me saying that NBA 2k27 is actually a really solid 2k.. and one of the best.. if not the best 2k post PS4/Xbox One era. But I can 100% admit.. that this game is not perfect.. and I have posted about the issues reguarding gameplay plenty of times now so ya'll can just check my post history. I say all that to say that to this day.. I have not seen valid criticism reguarding this game yet... most posts are (this game sucks... it is too hard to shoot) or (this game sucks, every builder can do everything)... or even the worst one (2k changes the meta, dunking is OP, I can't dribble, Offense is too hard) etc...
Too many posts saying this game sucks because they have an issue about a certain part of the gameplay that they can't seem to figure out how to use. Or that the games defense is too OP.. or that they can't shoot. When are people going to admit that maybe the problem is themselves? And not saying that those criticisms are not valid.. but more so saying that people are expecting something totally different than what the company itself is offering. 2K... whether you like it or not... has always been a BASKETBALL simulation game. And I think that in terms of playing true basketball.. this (2k27) is the most authentic it gets in terms of simulating modern NBA basketball. Not saying it is perfect.. but considering the evolution from 2k14 to now? (I think people forget how cheesy the goat 2k's were) ... 2K has made solid improvements. I'm 100% convinced that if you don't like this game.. and that if you prefer 2k26 over this.. then you do not like the mundane task of trying to get a high quality shot... which is what basketball is... and what 2k27 does pretty good. Anyways.. this is a long post.. but I have not yet seen any valid criticism from this game at all.
Keep in mind I only play Rec.. and Play Now Online btw

All of the community saying “2k is ruining the game appealing to realism” WHERES THE REALISM!? Since before time you could always cheese on 2k and have a 70% win percentage. It’s crazy how much of the community hates ethical basketball.

Crossing over back and forth 40x to get bailed out by bad game mechanics is beyond trash but yet I’m watching that playstyle be viable. Push crossing into defenders (was toned down this year thankfully) but people with no bag are still winning with it.

Just because you have to be a little ethical does not mean you can’t cheese and win. The game is in a terrible state right now 100% but seeing people say they want more arcadey playstyle when it never went away😅
