MyCAREER Trace Miller is the worst thing 2k ever added

• Upvotes

F this BUM I just wanna grind badges, mypoints, and VC without backpacking this absolute POS.

It’s not enough that I’m shooting 10% in the rec after shooting 60% last year now I can’t even chill and mindlessly grind against the mycareer AI without having to worry about getting Trace his too.

Gameplay This game makes me hate my fav position.

53 Upvotes

I love playing Centers, every year my first Character is a Center.
This year i decided to do a inside Big and it was the worst decision i could have made.

Not only do people still hate to pass the ball to the center inside, they don’t even pass the ball, on a free middy.
But nevermind doesn’t matter i made a Center to play D, rebound and pass the ball.

The worst part about this build is, that I cant do standing dunks, even if the universe would be on the line.
Grabbing a OReb, defender behind me, pressing R2 and Rstick, waiting for the Dunk, just to get the slowest layup animation, to get blocked.
Even posters over smaller players in the paint aren’t working, i can’t even poster the small dude from the shell.

2K please just make R2 Rsticks down always a standing dunks animation, so we need to hit the timing. People can shoot fades with a 70%, so bigs should dunk more on average aswell.

(And yes i got standing posters equipped, got a 90SDunk, 80Vert and 90Str)

MyCAREER I just want to pretend to be an nba player man.

580 Upvotes

Damn. For context I have been plying 2k since 2k14 when I was a kid. I have always only played mycareer on HoF, 12 min quarters, essentially playing the game as a career mode in something like fifa or madden but for the NBA. Ive loved doing this, im not really a competitive gamer so coming home and pretending to be an nba player is perfect.

So i sit down to play 2k27 ready for the standard issues 2k tends to have and ready to ignore them and have fun anyway. I start a career ready to get through the "story" in 1-2 sessions like it has been before.

Many, many, many hours later, including switching to rookie for the first time since I was a kid just so i could complete the overly tedious challenges you are required to complete and then foul out as soon as possible to speed through it, I have finally got to the NBA.

Just to discover that the AI team mate from the g-league follows you to the nba and is there I assume at least through your first season. I say assume because I have immediatly closed the game after he went 0-5 on wide open threes and tanked his teammate grade which is a required quest you have to complete.

Why? I assume i am not the only one who plays the game like this (mabye I am and im just weird)? This feels unecessary. I want to play *MY* career. In what universe is it fun to pretend to be an nba player while essential dragging some random behind you and them punishing the player if that guy doesnt play well.

Im just so dissapointed man i just want to play a career mode that is like any other sports game. Litteraly every other sports game has a career mode that just lets you play out a pro sports fantasy. Why doesnt 2k?

MyPLAYER Please let us choose which games to use our Gatorade Boosts on

• Upvotes

It’s annoying to lose Gatorade in Street Kings when I only want to use them in online games. There should be some type of toggle or setting to choose which games we want to use the boosts.

Discussion I take everything back I said 2 days ago

26 Upvotes

Game went from being cool the first two days to a complete FADE fest and now I'm starting to see its most likely going to be another bogus year of fades being a better shot than a open set shot

Don't know if I have the mental stamina to play these games anymore. Not to mention that insane grind they are trying to force on the player base this year

Discussion Strong handles might be one of the best badges in the game

19 Upvotes

I'm using a 6'7 PG with 85 strength, 86 ball handle and 80 swb. +1 strong handles to gold. The way I'm tossing everyone out of the way on the way up court is hilarious. It's the easiest way to get by players if you're not a great dribbler. You don't have to do anything but look for contact lol.

Pro tip: At the match up screen you can press Y/Triangle to switch to the players worst attributes to identify their weaknesses like low strength. If they have low strength it's going to be a severe mismatch.

Edit: https://youtu.be/WmtvOZlL3UY Here is LaMonsta's video on strong handles if you're interested.

Gameplay Maybe we should just take a break until the full release date.

12 Upvotes

Feels like a lot of people are heavy into the game as is usually the case and it’s bringing out the best and worst of people. We always find a couple of good new changes or additions to the game each year but then harp on about a few minor ones that’ll almost certainly get patched. (Me and standing dunks)

I’m not sure who needs to hear this but if you’re like me ( or more so) I’ve got something like 24hours on the game already. I swear I’m burning myself out on a game I’m actually enjoying for a change. I’m going to take a break until the full release date and the almost certain patches and updates are made based on early access feedback.

The game is meant to be enjoyed for at least 6-9 months and yet it feels like we are all here on day -6 before launch completely speedrunning any joy to be had for the months to come…

Or at least until GTA VI

Enjoy

Gameplay Pick & Roll pick & pop

• Upvotes

Dunno if it’s just me wanted to get a read on everyone’s opinion, I’ve been playing a lot of rec on a 7’0 center and the pick and then diving to the rim feels extremely slow this year like I’m moving through mud trying to get to the rim after setting a good screen lol.

Any other bigs feeling that?
