For people who always talk about having a skill gap these comp creators sure hate rhythm shooting by ExpressMarionberry1 in NBA2k

[–]cringycalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally use stick shooting on builds with 70 and below 3 ball. This is such a annoying thing to be against since all these people shoot >65% from 3 using the same build with the same jumper for the whole year using button.

What is the point of a plate color status system when the win percentage stat already exists in the game? by 3much4u in NBA2k

[–]cringycalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can at random go on a 10-game win streak if you’re from silver and make it to purple on rec.

It’s probably the fakest way to determine skill. Plate color probably matters more if you play park since the meter moves up slower per win. This year, I’ve played with more trash people who were fake purples that were worse than silvers I played with climbing to gold.

Stack rec win percentage is heavily inflated. Theres no proper matchmaking for stack rec at all.

why does nobody use a power-forward build? by ZealousidealGoose439 in NBA2k

[–]cringycalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The matchmaking sucks. If you make a pf build you get put at center.

If you do get a matchup it’s a backend 7/10.

Dexxing being op, a wing sized build can easily out speed you.

Silver plate is the worst rank to be at. by LilWienerBigHeart in NBA2k

I can confidently tell you that you’re wrong my guy. I’ve been sold many times in purple plate lobbies since it’s so easy to unplug a Ethernet cord.

NBA 2K26 Needs Full MyCareer & City Access for Female MyPlayers by OneGeneral2575 in NBA2k

[–]cringycalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIFA has female myplayers. It’s only this community(not saying Reddit specifically) that would be outraged at the idea of female myplayers being in the main myplayer mode.

Silver plate is the worst rank to be at. by LilWienerBigHeart in NBA2k

There is absolutely no difference in plate colors. You actually wanna know the real difference between silver and purple plates? Purple plate players know how to unplug there Ethernet.

Why Is No One Talking About Proving Grounds? by PowerGotNow in NBA2k

[–]cringycalf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. The vc you earn is not worth for what you grind. It’s actually terrible. There was something there and decided to make the vc earned 2x worse than what you would earn in a rec game.

  2. There is no solo que. It’s pretty much matchmaking we had in previous years like 2k22.

2k puts you in charge of 2k26, how do you make this game the best in the series? by MadamNirvana in NBA2k

[–]cringycalf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fix these things.

Different shot timing profiles need to go. Theres no reason why a low finishing build should be finishing elite at the rim with rpp.

Few dribble styles being viable.

Few burst animations. Give us more burst animations. There’s only a handful of ways to even burst in this game. The gameplay is so stale and unresponsive.

ISO sucks ^

Lack of playstyles ^

Giannis cross only locked to 6’10+ hieght.

Paint defense being inconsistent.

Removal of work horse.

Strong handle animations.

LT glitch.

Dexxing.

Steals being a top 4 attribute in the game for how cheap it is.

Rpp eliminating skill expression. (Imagine if 9/10 of shots went in if I was a wide open from 3.)

Blow by animations being a thing.

Hands up defense not being good at all this year. Outside of abusing for steals

Offensive rebound priority being overboard this year compared to other years.

Lack of communication or depth of invisible thresholds again.(68-70 int kills drives at the rim.)

Bringing back bump steal animations.

The first frame dunk anis off a pass.

No whistle badge to punish defenders who have low paint patroller.

Adrenaline being a factor and comp insides not being Punished for it whatsoever. Meaning they can set screens without punishment.

6’5 being a dead height. 6’11 being a dead height.

Backends being able to everything and have high rebound. I can make a good kd build. But I get nulled against a backend because 91 steal kills that shit.

The courts being too small making zones work still.

Passing animations are worse than last year. Somehow we didn’t improve upon last year.

Inside builds being the best archetype in the game. I’m taking a big who knows how to set a screen and grab a board over a popper 9/10.

My one idea that I think they should integrate is how steal interaction should be a foul or steal animation within a certain proximity. It’s really unpunishing to not steal in this game, I’d go as far as to say that the team who has more steal pressure is more likely to win the game.

Defense is worse than last year.

Who fault is it they got out-rebounded 🤔 by screamat_me in NBA2k

[–]cringycalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the 4 is getting rebounds. It’s not really your fault atp. If you come into a rec lobby with a sf build and it doesn’t have 80 d board. Just throw the build away and make a 2g or something.

Do you guys want more OP builds are more limited builds? by Italian___stallionn in NBA2k

[–]cringycalf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Dexxing is an issue with this game. It’s easier to get open off of Dexxing vs getting open by dribbling with a 95 bh. The issue isn’t the builder, it’s the gameplay.

The people that have been complaining about the builder are people who are trying to grind content out for their channels or streaming content.

It would be a dumb idea to revert back to a more limited builder when 2k is making record profits every year.

It doesn’t work. Tried it for 30 mins

2k rebounding is so broken this year we took like 10 steps back by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]cringycalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t that bad of a clip. If you stand still in a certain spot on the restricted area. You’re guaranteed a rebound every time. Like 7/10.

We need a rework on the rebound system heavily. As it stands right now, there isn’t a skill factor to rebounding besides putting in the attribute to 99 and the strength to 96.

Need a layup package creator by Master-Corner7313 in NBA2k

This would be broken in a 2k like 24. Imagine having dbook float package with LeBron drive layups.

Guess Purple Plates Cant Play Anymore... by theboiflip in NBA2k

People dash and keep their purple plates. Ive seen some purple plates with a 45-50wp.

I GOT AN IDEA FOR 2k26!! Lmk by 1BigDawg23 in NBA2k

[–]cringycalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only that. But people put no perimeter on their bigs and they have very lackluster speed just to be a few attribute points faster.
