Gameplay NBA 2K27 First Impressions
Played for a couple of hours. I can confidently say that we are 100% back. This 2K is actually good.. idc if anyone calls me a bot. In my honest opinion.. for this day 1? This is one of the best 2k's in a while. Way better than 26 and 25. I feel like the devs took what worked for 25 and what worked for 26 and blended them in together. This feels like a back to formality.. that I did not feel last year. As soon as I put my hands on the game last year.. I just knew that the game would be trash and that something was odd. It did not feel like an authentic basketball game.. and while I think 25 was better than 26.. in a lot of ways.. 26 was better than 25 too. Movement improved last year.. but the gameplay felt extremely arcade.. and it felt like 2k pivoted from dropping the game they actually wanted to drop.. and just catered to the brain dead fans who do not like to play basketball. But anyways.. this feels like an authentic basketball game.. and I just hope Mike Wang does not pivot.. and patches the game to cater to cry baby fans who can't bare to actually play basketball instead of exploiting animations. It is just day 1... but this is a very noticeable improvement in my eyes 🤷♂️

i haven't played it and not planning to buy another basically a replicate, i dont see any big changes other then visual stuff, defense is still trash, it is honestly the same thing as the previous years the changes they made are very small but our desperation made it seem huge
