I honestly enjoy this game but making a few changes would help… like making other real players wear original sneakers not the 2k ones & putting a story mode in the mycareer would really make this game 10/10 I really hope you guys bring a lot of changes to 2k27 or even updating these type of things in the 2K26 Overall this is one of the best NBA Games I’ve ever played on a phone
Good BUT..
A5akhe
This game is amazing and the graphics are insane as well as the beautiful gameplay… BUT…. I have a serious problem with crashing especially after playing a game on MyCareer and I end up playing the same match over and over and over and over again… it’s getting ridiculous and it’s killing the enjoyment Please fix whatever issue that is causing this
How the game can improve
Deni670
The game is has awesome features and in my opinion the best arcade game but it needs to be more similar to the actual game like add a story line for example I feel like more effort can be put into making this game
Few tweaks
GamerZ06
We need a switch button in MyCareer to switch between players you can guard,make home & away NBA branded accessories to switch to home & away colors automatically along with the sneakers what’s the point of making sneakers if my player is the only one wearing them & what’s the reason for them to not be in their original colors during games?overall it’s a good game just fix those
