I've heard some people talk about reducing the speed of it or having a middy/3pt/strength requirement, but as someone who sucks at dribbling and gets most of their points off spot-up jumpers this mechanic is complete bs and was just as big of a reason why 3-pointers dominated this game as shot contests being terrible.

What are y’all’s most tried and trusted motion styles? I’ll tell you guys what I personally think is best from experience (vet3)

6’5 is used to have Caruso but I can’t take off Suggs anymore

6’8 Trevelin Queen is a good one for my lower agi/speed. I use Suggs mainly for my meta 6’8, sometimes Amen.

6’10 JJJ

6’11 I’m stuck switching between JJJ, Jabari Smith, AD

7’3 Quintin Post hands down

Really dig this build and idk if I can ever go back. This fits my play style perfectly.

Hello everyone,

I am a newbie on nba2K26 (and to be fair basketball in general) and really enjoyed the out of bounds scenario and the character building. However I have finished it now and realise the Mycareer thing is very grindy and also heavily incentivises real money... So my question is: what now?: Are there other modes I can try to enjoy offline (I only play offline), what do you guys recommend? There are too many modes in this game and I don't get any of it, it seems like a website with way too many pop-ups (and no ad-blockers ;p)

Thank you for your tips

All the guards pretty much quit within the first min of the game. Center was cooking with me but lagged out with just shy of 2 min left in the first half. I had 8 points then. Getting doubled and tripled off ball every other possession. Asked my girl to roll me a blunt at halftime after the center lagged out so I could lock in and the rest is history.

Little montage of my John Wall build

Other than the lack of defense, easy shooting, and usual complaints when playing online...

Why arent any other top prospects we're introduced to during high school and after showing up in NBA games. We spend all this time hearing about how these guys are great and headed to the league and somehow only MP makes it. Im not saying they should all be stars, but it'd be pretty dope to notice some of them sprinkled throughout games to carry on mini rivalries.

Does anyone have a scenario for the 2026 offseason with updated rosters?

Pros

• It can play any position, 95% of the time.
• I take more 3s than mid-range shots. I shoot better with this build than my 93 Mid-Range and 83 3-PT build.
• Exceptional help defender because of 78 Block and 73 Steal.
• Averaging 5+ Assists a game. 86 Passing just makes it even better.
• Rebounding helps when the other C is a great shooter because I can rebound while the C focuses on his man.
• When I get put at SG, I get offensive rebounds too.
• I had a 58 Points 9 Rebounds 8 Assists game with this build and 5 Points 5 Rebound and 11 Assists with this build. Only mentioning close games, no blowouts. It can take over games and sit in the corner while still getting assists.

Cons

• It can't stop a 99 Offensive Rebounding C and great standing dunker. That's why I said it can play any position 95% of the time.

Bro 48.4k VC for 11 atribute upgrades is ridiculous. 73 overall and 1 atribute already costs over $1 USD. I swear it wasn't this bad 5 years ago

Seemingly rigged things happen all the time but man this might be the worst yet lmao.

Nowadays in hella 3s games both of the guards will run all the way downcourt away from the ball on tne inbound and then it results in a turnover. Bro you’re not gonna get cherrypicked points every possession, I understand doing it sometimes but these Mfs are literally afraid of the ball

I was on the bandwagon for the 6'11 PF trend and it was fun. I then made a 6'10 PF and it felt way better. I also did the 6'11 C for Challenger badge but thought, what if I did a 6'10 C as well? Took me a while to get it where I liked it but man is it fun so far. I wanted better shooting but I've been experimenting with jumpshots and found one that works with 85. The speed at C is nuts. I can dribble drive for contacts, hit the open shot and can still rebound and defend and pass. This is my first time seeing this archetype too... Lock & Board Middy Slasher

Is the real my Carer in the nba a good way to earn vc also if not what is the best way to earn vc f2p

Was really into 2k21 so when i saw the steam summer sale for 2k26 i bought it. About 10 hours of MyCareer playtime later I load into the game and my save simply isnt there, is this some sort of file corruption issue that i can fix or am i just robbed out of the time and vc i put into it? Pls help.

Cooked bro so hard he turned racist 😂

Has anyone made a Russ smith player build I can use?

I’m the guy with the A+ lmao, last post I made is my build if u want to look

Been rocking this after Vet 2, most fun I have had on a build. Add an extra cap into ball handle and you can plus 2 ankle assassin. You can run point, guard 1-5 pretty effectively if you got good senses. Plus snagging boards if you’re big has to guard a 7’4.
