Gameplay GOAT builds are literally the opposite of what mycareer is?

144 Upvotes

Now obviously we get it all 2k cares about is how much money they can farm out of people always tryna gain a competitive advantage on this game thats literally built into the core of this game mode but let me say something.

Having builds that are just literal nba players is the exact opposite of what mycareer represents. Its meant to be build your own character from the ground up with animations, appearence, attributes and grind it to vs people. Having goat builds already made for you with more overpowered stats how tf does that fit into this gamemode?? Maybe put it in another game mode but buying pre built players is absolute money grab trash. Opinions?

Edit: Tf is with all the downvotes haha

MyCAREER This bait and switch with GOAT builds is the last straw for me

124 Upvotes

As much as i love this game, getting scammed like this just crosses the line for me.

First, why were GOAT builds not included in the previews? Its like i got baited for all of season 1, thinking id be making a mycareer player to play vs other mycareer players so i spent all the time and money on my player just to be so invested. Im even on my last step of my shootong specialization and it was all pointless.

Now you introduce GOAT builds to mycareer without even mentioning them in the trailer before like its not a big deal when its a clear scam on the myplayers. If you said GOAT builds were going to be introduced in season 2 in the trailers, most people wouldnt invest into their builds in season 1 or even buy the game at all. Its a clear bait and switch cash grab becore gta 6 comes out, its almost like they couldnt wait past season 1 to introduce GOAT builds.

Add in the lack of game balancing. Its insane 2k makes so much money but they take longer to update their games than any other AAA developer. Its clear they break their game balancing on purpose so they can get you to spend even more money.

Maybe im just old school but i have some pride to not want to be the sucker for once. Enough is enough for me.

Discussion The potential of these goat builds and how they ā€œhidā€ it as a season 2 promotion instead of a ā€œ featureā€ coming into 2k27 is wild, they pocketed all that money from our first builds knowing we’d buy the goat builds from here on out… this company is disgusting man

48 Upvotes

Not to mention how unfinished the game was, 22 pages long of bugs they fixed. And how still the game is broken in some ways, and u add in these builds is gonna completely break the game. It’s actually insane 2k doing this right in our faces as if the community will accept and deal with it instead of question it and not play it lol. 2k really is just at the point of not gaf and getting the most amount of money they can at this point. Goes to show you where there mindset is at for future 2ks to come. The same recycled game just different buzzwords on badges and builds and call it a new game. It’s unbelievable how much greed really is taking over the world Jesus.

When can you make a product out that is worth buying and enjoying without having to be excessively greedy to get every dollar possible out of a community because there stupid. Man Charles Barkley was right not giving his name and likeness to this greedy company.

MyCAREER The latest update has broken Career mode.2k27

39 Upvotes

Hi, I only play Career mode on Superstar difficulty. Up until now, I thought the game was good—in Career mode, you actually had to defend, and your teammates were actually useful. But since the new update, the opposing team has turned into a squad of Stephen Currys from three-point range, my teammates have forgotten how to defend, and Miller keeps missing easy baskets. I don’t understand what’s going on anymore.

MyCAREER GOAT build 99 overall vs normal 99 overall

25 Upvotes

If I payed to get to a 99 overall & you paid to get to a 99 on a GOAT build and it’s significantly better aren’t I just paying a really high price to now be like an 85 or something. I feel like with these new builds coming essentially what’s happening is my player is getting worse, I feel as if I’m being scammed

MyPLAYER double 99 dunk goes hard

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

I just space the floor, play D, and occasionally put people in body bags lol

Made this build just to try out what a dual 99 dunk would feel like, and the dunks I get are absolutely ridiculous. I mainly score off leaking out on the breaks, and it doesn’t matter if I get a clean catch, catch it late, or even bobble it; I’m slammin’

I’m very selective with my attempts and just pass out if the lane isn’t what I want it to be, but overall I’m about a 70+% scorer in 3’s and 5’s just from rim-running lol

Planning on using my future caps to turn this into a 2-way dunking/lock type build, starting with a +4 to block with my next cap

MyPLAYER Weekly Cr3w Challenge - 35 REC Wins as a Cr3w

19 Upvotes

Petition for this challenge to count if the REC game is ran with 4 members + 1 AI.

I simply do not see any reason as to why this is not acceptable, and why there is a mandatory requirement of 5 members in the same squad.

I understand a team with a mix of different Crews is ineligible, but why can't 4+AI count?

35 wins is quite a lot when it's the last goal of the Week and it's only Weekday evenings to get together.

MyCAREER How is nobody talking about the size of these goat builds ?

15 Upvotes

If you have played MyTeam , you are well aware our court size is no place for Wilt Chamberlain, Anthony Davis, and Kawhi Leonard together on a team averaging 25 blocks a game. With the current game speed , size of the courts , there will be no place to play IQ basketball in MyCareer. These GOAT Builds should be for PVE only until they get everything else balanced first. Rant over.

Gameplay Worst badge system šŸ’€

13 Upvotes

Since this is the first 2k that simply doesn’t allow you to utilize all the badges. I just remembered that majority of the community. Is either going to have to purchase a season pass. Or grind every season just to get their badges the way they’d like. Obviously it’s done this way purposely to bait people into purchasing the season pass. I just want to ask the community.

How do you all feel about the badge system this year? It’s crazy that we have to pick and choose what badges to utilizes. When we should be able to use all the badges provided.

14 Upvotes

I got first place today and it gave me gatorade and muscle milk. Im assuming the probability of winning the VC is like 0.001%. Or its just for show and nobody wins it.

Also, they NEED to add in on/off feature or something for using the boosts because why do i need it if im playing against bots to earn my build spec numbers.

Gameplay We need new devs so bad

• Upvotes

Bro… I’m trying to wrap my head around hands up defense lol. So we can’t use it while running because then you’ll turn into a slug. But then when you close out and use it while being so close to your opponent that your nose is touching, it’s barely an effective contest. So then you go to close out and jump at the shot and bam… they run to the side and shoot. At this point everyone should make pure offense builds and see who can score the most first šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚.

REC Is the game cooked after patch?

12 Upvotes

Just curious, I play random rec online, seems like after the update the movement of the ball on the opposing team is just a corner 3, shooting probably 80-90% from three, if someone drives to the paint it’s to keep running to the other corner to shoot a 3 or pass to another 3, iso ball is, dribbling left then right then shooting a 3 and all the shots are green, every opposing team I play does the exact same shit, I play random rec even if we have good ball movement and play good basketball and make the right play and everyone is shooting well we’re still down by 20 cause it’s not fast enough to just huck the ball down the court and pop a 3, so essentially the game is a back and forth 3 contest, and as a big it’s essentially like playing GTA and pacing in a straight line back and forth clicking Y, I’m not complaining I’m just confused why would they update the game to be like this, I think it’s for us to change our builds and spend money on the game… I’ve played 2k since 2k9 on and off but I didn’t know the game got this disassociated with the actual game of basketball… overall it’s bland stale and as I’m sitting in a chair playing this game I ask myself what the fuck is this? Just curious what’s your thoughts, I don’t care to not play the game anymore I’m not a 2k die hard, I was just enjoying the game before the patch, now it’s not even dogshit, it’s just a waste of time

Gameplay Animations locked behind season rewards

Someone on X found the animatiok release schedule. We have to wait until season 6 for Lamelo Ball animations and next summer for Jamal Murray’s.

Where’s the outrage over this? Last year they actually didn’t release Sengunā€˜s post hook animation all year. These are the predatory actions brought by the battle pass system that’s rarely mentioned.

REC Random Rec PGs Thoughts

6 Upvotes

I’ve been seeing random rec PGs complain about getting iced. It’s funny to me because you not getting iced for scoring your getting iced because the possession starts with you as the PG and you think 4 other guys are gonna watch you dribble out the clock and score drop 17 by halftime on 30-40% clip with and no assists and be okay with it. I’m not and I have no shame šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™‚ļø get 20 plus with 6+ assists and I’ll sit back and just play ball.
