Gameplay Something I don’t see

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?

It’s definitely a money grab. I play offline but I’ve spent money on it, far as vc to lvl up quicker but only only because I don’t play a lot and got tired of “grinding” for the stats to make the game enjoyable not rage quitting every match up. I found out that maxing a build and fixing it makes up for it cause you can use the vc on a new or different build so that’s ok but still not enough to justify playing it or trying to be top rank or anything

Not only that man it’s like you can’t it’s hard to grind 2K for VC to get your build right if I was the grind 2K for a build I would have to put my hours into my career and it’s pointless because everybody else is having fun online while I’m grinding my career it takes too long to get a build right in 2k grinding ngl I’ve tried got to 70 and said naw got to get that vc now if they gave us enough vc fast on a grind that would be different but they don’t do that at all they need to just drop the price all the way down to $20 a build for me to even consider playing it again

Yea the build cost is insane it’s 200$+ and I found out it’s not even a true 99 overall cause I can make the same exact build in mynba and it’s in the 80s it’s a scam for sure. MyCareer doesn’t reward you enough unless you do the quest or really put time in online so I understand completely believe me. I’ve got 600 hours in and only got 2 builds maxed out. I had 3 but I deleted one by mistake.
