Witness 2KHOST
This is a 6.5 point guard.
Witness 2KHOST
I love Tyrese Halliburton's jump shot, or at least I did in 2K26.
Witness 2KHOST
I'm just going to assume it's butter in this 2K as well.
Witness 2KHOST
So that's awesome.
Witness 2KHOST
with a lot of quality of life improvements, which, yeah, it all sounded really good.
Witness 2KHOST
And we just haven't seen them.
Witness 2KHOST
In 2K26, 2K were dropping festivals left, right, and center.
Witness 2KHOST
We would run two, three festivals at the same freaking time.
RyanHOST
We can turn well-known athletes into zombies, and they could be biting each other.
CraigHOST
NBA 2K26 zombies.
RyanHOST
I'm trying to think of like, I'm trying to take an existing athlete and make them spookified.
CraigHOST
LeBoon James.
NixHOST
And granted, yeah, there is that access thing that you spoke about and having the access to it.
NixHOST
But like, Maybe not playing online because, granted, once these sports titles and Call of Duty titles and ones that come out every single year, if you have a guy who just bought 2K26, no, he's not going online to go play 2K20.
Aaron MazinHOST
Right.
NixHOST
No.
Witness 2KHOST
I mean there's definitely some more affordable cards out there but I've got Magma SGA so I'm going to use Magma SGA.
Witness 2KHOST
I'm so glad that it's looking like triple threat boards have been updated because I did not want the same breakout boards all NBA 2K26 long.
Witness 2KHOST
I'm definitely excited to see what those rewards are going to be on that second portal guys so don't go anywhere because we could be in because because it's triple threat especially the games go so much quicker i know this 2k is so exchange fodder focus but i mean this could just make the game so much more rewarding we got a few prize balls that we're going to crack open along this journey as well starting with a pink diamond prize ball can we get i'll take that i'll take that honestly a galaxy opal player that's pretty good for sure that's amazing exchange fodder and the board is complete guys and the special warp is 100 true it is a thing if you win every single game on a triple threat only board a special portal will pop up in the middle We're going to go in that portal, but not straight away, guys, because I want to track absolutely everything that we can get from this breakout run.
Witness 2KHOST
Now, we already have a life lost right here.
DerekHOST
I find its issues quite manageable with settings and sliders, and I'm able to enjoy playing it.
DerekHOST
I could easily name a few NBA 2K releases that I consider worse, with 2K26 the worst of them all.
DerekHOST
Say whatever you will about 2K18 and its problems, but it is undoubtedly still going for a sim NBA gameplay.
DerekHOST
2K26, by contrast, is what I would call, at the risk of sounding a bit overly dramatic, the official completion of NBA 2K's transformation from a mostly offline basketball sim to to an online arcade streetball meter simulator that remains very arcadey, herky-jerky, and meterized even when you attempt to use it for offline sim gameplay.
DerekHOST
Lastly, he states, "...maybe a bit of a weird hill to die on, and it's definitely influenced by the fact that I was already past the point of having any interest in touching my career or my team." But I guess I like 2K18 a bit better than most.
DerekHOST
So as far as sliders go and tweaks and whatnot, I also messed with those.
AndrewHOST
So shout out to you.
AndrewHOST
We absolutely appreciate those efforts.
Delvin CoxHOST
It hasn't been out there.
Delvin CoxHOST
If you bought 2K26, until Halloween, they're offering you 50% off the deluxe edition.
Delvin CoxHOST
So instead of paying $100 for it, you can pay $44, which is cheaper than the regular version.
Haley Nicole MillerHOST
That's a, hey, our game is not selling.
Delvin CoxHOST
So soon, I think that pissed a lot of people off.
Delvin CoxHOST
Because people are still playing that game and they cut that shit off completely, like even a single player.
Delvin CoxHOST
So I feel like, you know, and nope, the deal is only the people who bought 2K26.
Delvin CoxHOST
So I'm suspecting there's probably a large amount of people who probably hasn't bought 27 yet.
Mike TaylorHOST
But he is on the cover of...
Mike TaylorHOST
NBA 2K26.
Mike TaylorHOST
He is the reigning defensive player of the year.
Mike TaylorHOST
He is the kid that wants to be the best player in the league, wants to win the MVP.
Analytic DreamzHOST
And I'm talking from a consumer aspect, not the Mike Wayne hiatus.
Analytic DreamzHOST
If you take a hiatus as a community in wanting change, positive change, Safe to say, if the bottom line changes to the point where they're losing money, they will listen to you way more than you thought they would when they said, I don't know, when they were on top, right? If they start to slide compared to 2K26, compared to 2K25, they will start to listen to your feedback a lot more and implement those changes a lot quicker.
Analytic DreamzHOST
You know, they will get expedited if they start to slide and see the sales drop because if you affect the bottom line, miraculously, they start to listen to your advice.
Analytic DreamzHOST
So that being said, it seems like the 2K community are talking a lot of good games.
Witness 2KHOST
His Opel was actually so good.
Witness 2KHOST
From being one of the biggest trolls, if not the biggest troll in NBA 2K26, Tyler Hero is kind of nice in 2K27.
Witness 2KHOST
I mean, come on.
Witness 2KHOST
Like, that is an obscure player.
Trevor KelseyHOST
situation.
Trevor KelseyHOST
Me and – I mean, closest me and Jacob have come is playing like 2K26.
Trevor KelseyHOST
So you've been – and I couldn't even handle that pressure, I'll be honest
