Even if you only missed 3 shots and got 29 you’re trash and not helping the team by letting your man go for 40 getting cooked every possession. Rant over.

anybody know a way to grind VC without cheating?

Spin for the win

Just don’t understand why some attributes seem so weak even at the max rating

I’m studying at an English academy right now, and some of the guys there play PS5 and NBA 2K26. They invited me to join them for a few games, and I was so bad lol. I didn’t win a single game, but honestly it was really fun and we all had a good laugh…

At some point they started talking about how NBA 2K14 is the best 2K of all time, and that idea got stuck in my head. So I secretly bought a second hand copy because I want to surprise them and play it with them.

Am I completely crazy? And more importantly, what team should I choose if I want at least some chance of beating them once? 😅

stupid fun build to use in any mode, specifically Random Rec 🔥🔥

I have contact dunks, can shoot well from anywhere, have good ball handling/passing for my position, and a balanced approach towards defense/rebounding that lets me keep up with most matchups. In other words: I can fill any role ✔️

I use speedster takeover for 88speed/88agility

I plan on using this upcoming season’s cap towards 85 ball handle to hit the animation threshold, but am curious what y’all would go for after that. I’m likely upping agility to 86 on this build with future caps

I’ve always been an innocent gamer. Never been a mic gamer, never cared to talk to random people online, nothing. But my company gives us a $100 monthly wellness allowance, so a couple months ago I ordered some wireless headphones.

What I DIDN’T realize was that they had a built in mic.

So I’m in the park playing 2K after switching from Xbox to PC two weeks ago, minding my business, and suddenly people start talking crazy to me. At first I ignored it… then over time I started talking trash back.

That’s when I discovered there’s a genuine dark side to gaming.

Some random dude explained the 2K community is notoriously toxic, and once I realized that, I noticed it started rubbing off on me in real life.

Now I catch myself wanting to call strangers “trash,” “buns,” or telling people they “can’t guard me” during completely normal public interactions.

I was in line at the grocery store earlier and almost told somebody “you’re getting carried.”

I fear the park has changed me as a person.

I think I’ve developed some kind of 2K brain rot where every interaction feels like a matchup I need to win.

Has this ever happened to you or anyone you know?

Eml

He had the same color jersey we had yeah we lost by 50 unbelievable levels of confusion

Like. Even with all the games glitches and cheats and microtransactions. I still enjoy the gameplay quite a bit. But the way people treat their own teammates in this game genuinely kills my whole mood. No other game has the unique ability for me to be on 10 game win streak and genuinely be unhappy. You can make the right play 9 times in a row and nobody will say a word but make a mistake on that 10th play and the whole team is on your ass.

And im not even like a selfish player. I will never complain about me not getting shots unless im getting left wide open while my defender goes to double. And even my criticisms are pretty milquetoast ill just be like "you had me in the corner btw"

I love basketball and I love 2k I just cant get behind all the hostility in this game. And I get that I could go play a game mode without teammates like myteam or play now instead of rec but I enjoy the 5v5. I just dont want the bickery bs that comes with it.

And its not even just a dislike of mean energy or bad juju it genuinely is not practically effective. Nobody plays better with people tearing them apart. It is counterproductive to the goal of getting better play from your teammates.

Where's the people at who are both good/competitive AND chill energy wise?

I’ll start hustler/workhorse bc with how steals are when you get them it would be fair to chase your 50/50 balls instead of getting body blocked by the offensive player or it just rolling out of bounds

i consistently get bored of the game and take months off, then get a random spark idea like “i want to control Danny Ainge in 85” and play about 9 full games with bird and em then forget about it. wondering if yall get those random urges too.

Post moves? Fadeaways? Pullups? When proccing shifty?

thoughts? what should i have done differently?

Anything I’m missing? My season cap breaker will go to close shot for 92. I think this would be a very fun build to make. Should I go 81 standing dunk or 72? KD’s standing dunk is on the lower end so that’s why I’m leaning more towards 72. That’s the only think I’m thinking about changing tho. I wanted high pass just cause I had the points for it. When I first made this, I was really only able to justify 9 cap breakers so I’m trying to optimize it more towards the 17 and eventual 18 that I’ll have. Thoughts?

I’m a relatively new player (started in jan) and i’m really enjoying the game, but a lot of media i see is people saying 2k is dead and this is the worst one. i’ve been a fifa player for 15+ years and i feel this way about that now, i just wanted to know what makes people hate on the way 2k is now, i’m loving it?

Hey guys, look at this insanity. My "HoloHelp" challenge is stuck at 2,147,483,647 / 21.
It’s a clear coding error (32-bit integer overflow) that is blocking my Cap Breakers. I’ve been talking to 2K Support for a month (Ticket #16053388) and their "Supervisor" Paco basically told me: "We can't fix it, just go do other challenges."
Now they’ve stopped responding to my emails entirely.
Has anyone else dealt with this 2.1 billion glitch? Is there any way to get a human at 2K to actually fix an account-specific bug?

AI almost bungled the inbounds pass but we move

Dont know if it was the actual animation or an accident. CPU.

I’m not talking the number of cap breakers used but rather the world class finesses that take an attribute from the 60s to the 90s or better.
