Discussion Same guy who did the study about ghost contests, figured out 2k27 uses 88% reused animations from older 2k titles.

Gameplay Streamers play a big part of why the game is the way it is

16 Upvotes

I stopped paying 2k after 2k24. Did not touch 25, 26, or 27 not even once. And obviously you have to blame 2k for some of the stuff they just can’t seem to fix but one thing I never see people mention are the streamers and how they negatively affect the game as well

If y’all remember the best 2k’s and I’m talking about from 2k11 to 2k17, some of the top streams like Prettyboy Fredo, flight, duke dennis, Solluminati. These streamera were playing the game to have fun and making the streams interesting. Everything wasn’t about a Wager or playing in a ranked pro am for money.

This is literally what the community turned into post 2k20 and it’s not surprising why there’s so many cheaters nowaday. Trying to continuously monetize something that was never meant to be monetized. Of course everything is going to get boring because everyone now is just trying to find the best way to win instead of just playing the game. People have no incentive not to cheat anymore and for the casuals, your not going to enjoy playing

Discussion I feel like heat check is just there to ragebait you

8 Upvotes

I swear, every time I get heat check

I always get a speed up/slow down on that shot

Not sure if it’s because I made 3 b2b 3s or something, but I swear atp it’s not placebo

Now that I’ve learned to anticipate the timing change, after a few makes in a row, I’m fine

But it still feels like heat check is useless

After I make 3 in a row, there’s no way in hell I am down to try a tough shot (a heat check.. in other words…)

I just use it to help make up for the fact that I might mistime the speed up

It used to be that heat check meant you’re good to pull from basically anywhere, even contested, what gives? Might as well not even be a thing in the game anymore IMO

Discussion 2k needs to stop taking gameplay advice from Youtubers

16 Upvotes

Let me preface this by saying I don’t think take two pushes out the best products and I’m not going to pretend like this corporation is a person with feelings. 2k27 is a bad game BUT I subscribe A LOT of the worst parts of it GAMEPLAY WISE to the constant complaining of YouTubers. For example people hated how inconsistent shooting felt in 25 (which it was designed to be bc people complained about shooting being easy in 24), creators complained and in 26 they gave us a fixed pure green window with no rng. THEN everyone complained again saying shooting was too easy (which is going to happen EVERYTIME if you do green or miss with a fixed timing que) and in 27 we have manufactured inconsistency again with rng installed to bring down the percentages. By mid November every year the game becomes this Frankenstein abomination due to following through on brand dead takes from the community. Atp we just need to stop taking advice from content creators even when they due successfully identify a problem because they give TERRIBLE solutions and they’ll always find a problem regardless bc the views are in being disgruntled and ā€œdramaā€. I just want a year where they take into consideration youtubers advice but ultimately create a product they believe is fair and balanced even if it means disregarding community opinions.

Gameplay There’s no way to balance green or miss unless you’re willing to accept that people will shoot 70+%

16 Upvotes

Everyone hates rng but wants green or miss because it has a ā€œskill gapā€ (it doesn’t really, but that’s a different conversation) the reality is that if you give people a fixed pure green window with no rng they will learn to time their shot correctly down to the millisecond and you will see elevated shooting percentages. How do I know? Because that’s what they had in 26. But maybe you think okay but what if the green window is smaller. They did that at the end of 24 and people were shooting high 60-70s and so going into 25 they put rng back to bring down percentages. Ultimately you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Either you get green or miss straight up no gimmicks and you see high percentages or you get rng and don’t. If you don’t like either option then it’s almost as if.. green or miss was a mistake?!? But yall aren’t ready for that conversation.

Discussion 2K has to be the most delusional gaming community when it comes to their own skill

18 Upvotes

Never played any other game like this man

It’s like a solid 50% of the community think they’re one of the best players on the game

Guys see one of their teammates playing better than them and they start acting up because their ego gets bruised from seeing that they are not, in fact, the goat

And every day I see dudes on here acting like W/L and stats are not an indicator of skill. Sure, to a point, but over the course of literal hundreds/thousands of games?

And there’s no shame in not being the best, we literally play this game for FUN. There is no pro league, there is no purpose to being the best other than personal satisfaction. Playing how you want for fun is the point of playing 2K, all playstyles are valid from a ā€œplay for funā€ perspective.

I will readily admit I am not the best. I’m not speaking from any kind of high horse fr. But you ask dudes in this community and they’ll just say ā€œoh my teammates suckā€, ā€œoh matchmaking broā€, ā€œI keep getting soldā€. Nobody wants to admit that they are just not that guy.

I don’t think there’s any other game where slightly above average players from the community genuinely think they are at the same level as literal professionals

It’s like mfs in irl rec league thinking that ā€œoh if things were different, I woulda made it into the NBAā€

Gameplay What’s up with speed in this game?

18 Upvotes

Literally I have never been hawked down by big men on fast breaks more than I have in 2k27. I have an 88 swb on my 2 guard it’s like he’s stuck in mud trying to run out on a fast break after getting a steal (gold pace). Is speed even worth it in this game???

MyCAREER My career low scoring games?

• Upvotes

Playing my career, and every single game is low scoring. I’m on the Knicks, playing 10 min quarters and every game is a struggle to even score 80 points. I’m having games where my team is shooting damn near 30% from the field. Anyone else having this same issue?

Gameplay This is the WORST glitch on 2K27 and they can’t do anything about it.

I had to delete 2K27 because I needed a break for my mental sanity and before I did, I made sure I finished loading the game so I didn’t interrupt anything. In the past 2K games, whenever I deleted my game I never randomly got corrupted data or lost all of my game progression. BUT IN 2K27?!?! IF YOU THINK TO DELETE THE GAME, SAY GOODBYE. I download the game back and both of my MyPlayer builds were corrupted, my lifetime challenges went from 100+ to 46, and my build specialization went from goal 4 all the way back to 0. Thankfully my builds showed up and I still had my 98 PG, but the fact that my lifetime challenges and build specialization can’t be reset or brought back is so stupid. I can’t believe how unfinished this game feels at times. I actually lost all motivation to play this game right now. GTA 6 couldn’t drop any faster.

So I’ve been in a crew since early access. We left it open. There’s no way we ONLY have 7 ppl. Then I leave and test the quick join out. It’s putting me in these fake crews ran by 2k sports. So it’s either invite ppl and hope they join or your open crew won’t get ANYONE in it.

Gameplay The main issue in REC is the game speed, why does my 87 speed and 77 agility with 71 perimeter can guard and hound a 6'1 with 94 speed with ball? Easily.

9 Upvotes

Hear me out, the reason why most lockdowns in previous 2K avoids high weight is because the higher the weight, the lower the speed/agility. Now everyone is too fast and it seems like Speed and Agility doesn't matter.

The game speed is so overtuned, even a center can guard anyone on the court.

This needs to be fixed, they need to make sure that attributes matter when it comes to moving on/off the ball.

Is this the reason why REC que is much longer these previous days? People stop playing since REC is unplayable?

The courts have different latency and I'm telling you this, the only fun position in REC right now is Center and Locks.

Every 5-10 online games I play, my shot meter will magically turn back on and to the default settings, as well as my 3 animation and shot feedback. It’s really annoying as it’s thrown me off a couple of games now.
Any suggestions are welcome.
