I play single player.

The game is good.

Don't know what online is like, or what building a team by throwing money at the screen is like.

But the single player is good.


Edit: Game is still good, but the achievements for steam must be broken? I've won plenty of games, and still haven't unlocked any achievements, including the "Win a game" one.

Shot timing, shot feedback, and shot meter setting stills reset for seemingly no reason.

Game spent an hour just compiling shaders, then they try shoving microtransactions down my face, then they pause the game to show me 2KTV which i don't care about. Only got 10 minutes of actual gameplay before deciding to refund.

What the hell is wrong with modern gaming?

bad game , at least refs are realistic , they call nothing

Please don't waste your money. It's no different to any other year.

You can't do anything with a 60 overall, so buy some VC just to make a shot. Oh, good luck on defense. Still a horrible basketball simulator. Live where you at???

In my opinion, nothing will beat 2K16. But- I'm glad to see that we finally have new-gen, it took long enough. The last 2K I played was 2K23 and that was not enjoyable. The game runs well, I haven't had much issues with the game, performance wise, I would say the only issue is the controls changing back every now and then. There are still hackers in the game, but not as much as I remember back in 2K23.
If you have a couple of friends to play with and some money to throw at a game, I would recommend it. I have recently been enjoying it more than I thought I would since release with my buddies, brings back old memories when I used to play back on 2K16-2K18 on console.
It's only up from here now that we have new-gen. I understand it's practically the same game every year like every sports game, but I have high hopes for 2K26.

considering it takes 20 mins just to launch every time because of the shaders for a mid-tier, capped experience at a shotty 60 fps. Would literally be more worthwhile to get a PSN membership and maintain that just to play on console as opposed to the PC experience 2k provides.

Do yourself a solid and don't get the game

DONT BUY. For context I only play MyCareer. I play on Hall of Fame and id argue it goes beyond being BS to being rigged. Not only does the score jump around like a frog on coals when you go to the bench but when you are playing it feels broken as well. A C+ nba player will drop 50 on your head because they hit highly contested 3's like a layup but you can have an 85 driving layup and miss a wide open fast break layup. You can have 90 3pt shot but unless you green that shot it has 0 chance of going in. None of this also mentions that if you want to be able to do ANYTHING as a player in the NBA you will need to buy VC to give your player any viable stats, even then spending and extra £20 on top of the game will only make you around 73 overall.

I got perma banned and I have no idea why. I appealed thinking it was in error and they just tossed a ToS statement at me stating the decision was final. I played MyTeam and worked the market to build up a good amount of MT without spending any money on VC. Apparently they think if you don's spend money on VC and have a lot of MT then you must be cheating. FU 2K.
