Gameplay Reminder that in past 2ks standing dunks, swim moves, passing, post moves, and rebounding all worked. Paint beast were actually good builds

Gameplay 2k killed inside scoring

46 Upvotes

A lot of people talk about how they nerfed standing dunks and how hard driving dunks are but nobody seems to talk about how they just got rid of like every layup badge. Like no more giant slayer or slippery finisher. If you want to be a slashing guard there’s almost no point because you can’t get access to physical finisher, so you have to get dunks or there’s almost no point in driving.

MyCAREER Congratulations 2k

100 Upvotes

You guys managed to fix cheating for a whole 3 weeks and now they're all back and far worse than before.

On top of that, you've made contests damn near impossible on this quick stop cheese so it's pretty much impossible to register anything higher than a semi open.

Great game you've crafted.

MyPLAYER This is insane 🥶

47 Upvotes

Since season 2, shooting has been even easier. I have an 80 3 ball, my release speed is very quick cause I have a quick reaction. They said I zen but I really don’t. I got to HQ Crew and practice before going into any game. Another thing, a lot of y’all be sleeping on that default release. All im changing is the base and keeping upper release 1&2 at default. That default has a sweet release and a big green window. All you need, is to find your base. Like I said, I don’t Zen at all and you can see on how my release timing on the top left.

REC Locked down a 99 shooting build, still got flamed for only having 6 points. Why does this community only care about scoring?

29 Upvotes

I play solo REC and focus on winning!

I'm sitting 5 games under .500, but shooting 55% FG and 50% 3PT over my last 20 games.

Last game, I held a 99 mid/99 3PT matchup to just 8 points. I only took 4 shots and had 6 points because I was locked in on defense.

We were up 10 in the 3rd when the PF started toxic crying at our PG (who had 9 assists at the half). I tried to defuse the argument, and the PF turned on me, saying I was trash for only having 6 points. Never mind the fact that the moment I switched off my guy, he started torching us.

The casual REC community genuinely doesn't understand that defense wins games."

REC Red Plate Rec Cheaters

4 Upvotes

Finally made red plate as a solo rec PG only, only to realize that every game there is at least one person Zenning. This isn’t sour grapes, I really enjoy the game. I played three games of solo rec and each time someone dropped at least 70 points on least 90% shooting from three. Didn’t matter if it was contested. Disappointing.

MyCAREER Goat builds for the goats

11 Upvotes

I can’t lie I see a lot of these new goat builds get a lot of hate but in my opinion if you are good at the game this just makes you better. If you’re already a lock, you’re a legendary lock now which is annoying if you’re the player getting locked up, but if not super nice.

People complaining about the locked animations and stuff like that, but if you used to play All-Star team, we play now online when they had the player version. You are nice. I feel like they’ve done it to benefit those players also.

If you are good at the game and don’t need certain animations to make yourself better than these builds were definitely made for you.

Just played 4 straight crew 3v3 games and each team was cheating (well over 2,000 games played) running around behind half court taking fadeaways.

MyPLAYER Centers out there with 60 steal worth it or not?

7 Upvotes

So I’m pretty close to finalizing this Center in the builder. The last thing I’m kinda torn on is if I should go 60 steal or not.

For those that have 60 steal how does it feel and do you feel it’s worth the investment?

REC 2k27 is the worst 2k of all time

Post image
71 Upvotes

The cheating and the sbmm on top of just not good gameplay has officially put nba 2k27 is probably the worst 2k I have ever played. Game is just not enjoyable whatsoever with cheating in every other rec game as a red plate. The devs refuse to do something about it or even acknowledge how horrendous the cheating is. I want these folks to load up on a red plate with red plate teammates and see how much fun they are having on this trash heap of a product. But if I quit the game because I don’t want to play a cheater I get banned.

REC why does no squad rec matchmaking make no sense at all

3 Upvotes

Why is it that i constantly see mis matches like a pf playing at C or a sg playing at pg.
Also i get into games with people of al sorts of plates. sometimes the plate difference between teams is so big that the game is already decided before it started.

Games arent fairly matchmade and for what reason? there are plenty of players. i get into a match pretty much immediatly. i would much rather multiple minutes so i can get into a game with and against my own plate playing at my own positon.

it just seems so stupid to me because its a simple change that makes rec games more competitive and makes people want to leave less. i have had so many instances where a pf got assigned to center and they left the game immediatly... or when you are in a team full of purple/red plates and get matched against plates way lower so now the entire opposing team leaves the game except for ussualy 1 or 2 people dragging everyone else into 20 minutes of boredom

REC 2K Has a Serious Leaver Problem

9 Upvotes

I think everyone can agree that the current state of AI is dubious at best. The one thing nobody mentions though is that AI would not be a problem(whether Op or Cones) if people didn't spam leave games the second things don't go their way. There are 2 things in this world I hate over anything else; cheaters and quitters. If you do either, I am just going to assume you have a loser mentality and are most likely a loser in real life too.

2K needs to start actually punishing leavers for leaving games. I don't load up the Rec to play with or against AI's.
