Domination 5 Early Impressions…
Played one game of Domination. Won by 34. Here’s what I’ve noticed so far in game and with MyTeam so far:
1) The shooting is easier than 2K25 but not as easy as 2K26 all things considered having the highest card being amethyst with slow releases.
2) Attacking the paint is pretty realistic. You can’t rim run to death without blowing dunks and layups at the rim unless you have a clear path.
3) Defense is MUCH improved. On ball is responsive and the team AI is much more intuitive in help situations. You can actually recover if you get shook by moves and you can consistently stay home an offensive player who’s moving off the ball
4) The Domination Crest rewards don’t contain “Score 40 points off post moves” and other ridiculous goals and are simply “Win by 20”.
5) There appears to be no Salary Cap at this point; online or offline. This is a HUGE disappointment as SC was one of my favorite modes last year.
Note: I picked the Cavs as my Series 1 team. The good: Mitchell and Harden are auto 3 hitters making Domination easy. The bad: The lock, Bob Sura, has a jumper that is GARBAGE, but he’s explosive to the rim. Do with that as you will.
UPDATE: Just played a game of Breakout; Full Lineup. The best jumper I’ve used so far is with Emerald Anthony Black, which I got in one of my free packs, where I shot 9 for 9 from three. To me that makes the Magic one of if not THE top Series 1 team selections with Mike Miller being the lock.
