@Beluba what is the point of the adrenaline bars if you can just turbo nonstop back and forth with no penalty? What is the point of the stamina bar if you can green shots consistently after constant turbo use? #NBA2K26
That’s because of two reasons:
1. The badges in this game are not set. Meaning with max +1/2s I don’t have to have a high rating just need the badge perks.
2.There difference between 87, 93 and 99 rating depends on the attribute instead of being consistent across every category
Hot take: 2K26’s biggest issue is how ratings barely matter anymore. Most of the problems people complain about come down to the lack of separation.
An 85 three shouldn’t be fading from 3, but maybe a 99 should. A 50 steal shouldn’t get many steals, but a 99 should get a lot of them. A 90 ball handle shouldn’t lose the ball running into traffic, but a 50 should.
Right now, the game feels like it treats everyone’s limits the same no matter their rating. Watch someone play without seeing the ratings, and you’d struggle to identify who’s built what. If a 99 three-point shooter and an 80 both green fades at similar rates, then ratings aren’t doing their job, they’re just numbers on a screen. That is exactly why those with high ratings feel cheated on their builds.
The game nba 2k26 is completely cooked as a game. There is absolutely no contests in this game. You can shoot anything, over anyone. Cheating is at an all time high in the game and that is why they wanted to hitch removed from shooting. The game is almost unplayable because there is no defense against damn near anything. This is not basketball. This is just ridiculous what we are currently playing.
ATP I’m going to accept however the devs update a game and don’t even give it time to play through is insane…. To go off hearing your top creators have a brainless mind to say “let me dribble through ppl and bring back some fades to let them fade off creating more space from the three” this at least shows they never once or will stand a chance playing real life basketball…. This is there way to cope for that… @Beluba you know what basketball is and how it’s played if we wanted NBA Jam made I know yall can make an arcade version for those that complain they can run at me and not drop the ball then charges should be increased #2kcommunity #Nba2k26 Revert that patch back let them cry they will still play it they have nothing else to play I can see this is a tough job but you know what real basketball is like and that’s not real ball…
Let’s be for real right now. That “well timed steals” that was supposedly put into the patch never worked anyway. The only consistent thing was when someone threw the ball into your body they lost it. Now that that is reverted back it’s essentially day one 2k26 with slightly nerfed fades, slightly tightened tempo green window, and nobody dropping the rock even if they being reckless with the pill
Why is it hard for people to understand two poor playoff games is NOT a referendum on his entire career??
It's possible to say he needs to be better in this series and NOT do what is happening
The real answer is all these people had to hold it in all of last year, and this is finally their chance to do it
