@Dravved @TheSoleLab_2k @PTsports84 what about after the curry era
@MuseKCP @TheSoleLab_2k @PTsports84 You'll continue on to the modern era and can keep going for 25 seasons from whenever you started
@Dravved May be a dumb question. If i start in the curry era, can i also just continue on beyond 2026?
@alakazampoof_ Yeah you can
@Dravved @PTsports84 So as we go through the years, we have the option for a new era? Tbh I’m still playing my rookie year. Got the Jheri curl though!
@TheSoleLab_2k @PTsports84 Once you complete all the years in an Era, you will seamlessly transition to the next Era. So when you complete the MvB Era in 1991, you will go through the offseason and begin the Jordan Era.

@LD2K I have a question I mean no disrespect and I would like to hear your opinion on this but honestly speaking do you think this build should chase down block a 6,7 pg and if I have a 91 bh do you think 73 steal should be ripping my player every time I move ? https://t.co/PlxrC68WxS
@cmfskunk I think the issues re steal spamming is well documented. I keep my gameplay opinions internal - but I’ve passed on my thoughts/feedback to various gameplay producers. Goal is always balance and improving towards that goal - that’s what I advocate for. 👍
@TTYME2K I was able to report this thanks to some people bringing it to my attention - team is aware. Lots going on behind the scenes here. Thanks to all who have sent me stuff in the DMs and posted feedback publicly.
@LD2K can the female myplayers in season 2 be able to wear the shortest shorts in 5v5 game modes like the males? I wanna switch out the long baggy shorts 😭
@Mannythekid23 This was reported 👍
@_TonyFromTheSix I will still be checking X for feedback regularly, but don't plan to tweet much going forward.

@TokyoTopps @Koza2k_ Tell you what - send me your personal feedback of what you’d like to see changed/tweaked. My challenge to you is to provide a perspective I haven’t already seen discussed 👍
Not enough people speaking about how bad the ghost contest are. People aren’t even playing my shot, big man is fake stepping getting light contest, reaching light contest, on the ground getting a light, running by me light contest. I gotta go through a defender spamming reach, I’m fumbling, I can’t shoot limitless, then I got different timings on my jumpshot. On top of that are the most insane ghost contest. It’s tough out here on a PG. need that update asap.
@Koza2k_ I’ve brought it up. They’re looking at all the feedback 👍
What does this have to do with PRIVATE LOBBIES… As I said in my replies, no other game in existence can you load into a private lobby & get BANNED for quitting, or even worse lagging out. I lost $1000 last night because my C got banned mid tournament for lagging out. Why does NO OTHER GAME have this issue? The only reason I mentioned Wolf is because as a former 2KL player myself we thought he would be a voice for us, but when problems like these stay in the games for years it just shows the lack of either groundwork or just care being put in during the game development. @LD2K
@Gazullii Hearing this should be fixed and in retail now.
@itsEvanCC @NBA2K Increasing game speed is crazy. Why?
@Spread_Them @NBA2K To clarify, some game modes had a different game speed than others, which could lead to an inconsistent feeling when going between modes, and that is standardized now.

@Teiohh I’m admittedly not a 2’s player at all. Most of my builds made for 5v5 play (my preference). Though I might need to make a theater build. 👀
Don’t worry though, 2K TV is going to give him a feature 🤣 and congratulate him on being the first legend. They literally know who to keep an eye on and they still let these goofs run rampant. https://t.co/7UTNWuqVN1
@BeLiKeDime Just a quick clarification point - we vet any and all players through dev. If accusations are being made, they’re handled by those who determine legitimacy and bans and whatnot. ✌️
They brought two 6’8’s in the Rec at the 4 & 5. I ate 💀 #NBA2K27
@LD2K yo LD! i’ve been noticing a crazy issue with a lot of super clean blocks being fouls, anybody else? seems like a dice roll everytime and doesn’t matter what animation you get
@ruethtre I’ve seen a bit of it. I personally think fouls are on a good spot but let’s see how the community feels about it. Damn virtual refs 😂
@LD2K @holydreamshake Must be nice why take pro am away? Just shitted on the pro am community favorite game mode
@codeine1dreamin @holydreamshake Crews have adopted PRO AM features. That’s the idea - and yes, I’ve seen early feedback on this.
Ball game. Defender took one step towards my PG and I immediately cut. 👋 #NBA2K27
@LD2K Does build Specialization carry over to each build ?
@FanAttic007 Yes - so long as you chose the same build. So if you chose shooting on build 1, if you select shooting on build 2 - the progress carries over (so long as you make sure to select it).
@LD2K I love seeing 2K people from the inside being passionate about the game thought it was just a necessary business outlook lol
@holydreamshake I’m 90+ hours in. Over 50 rec games played and grinding just like everyone else. It’s important for me for internal feedback AND my love of the game 😎
Cap Breakers earned in Build Specialization are locked to their respective discipline (unlike 26, which included Physicals) ... except Free Throw if you roll like that #NBA2K27

There is an ideal release point in every jump shot (the visual cue), if you release the button at that point you will ALWAYS make the shot. That point is fixed and does not shift. The shifting that Labs is talking about from shot to shot is just a tiny amount of noise that comes from the way animations blend, that’s always been in the game and always will be. That noise is imperceptible to humans but Labs’ script is very precise and can detect it. There are no “speedups” built into the shooting model to try and make shooting harder. But there are going to be variations in every shot attempt because you’re going to be transitioning from different animations at different times at varying energy levels. The game is not intended to be played by a machine that can hold the shot button for a predetermined amount of time to make every shot, which is why shooting by “feel” will only get you so far.
@NBACoachM @Beluba We probably explain it on the site better. We can get it to be almost the exact animation But we cant control where the ball releases from (left hip vs right hip)which changes the timing by a few milliseconds.which is basically nothing. But the device is precise so it catches it
@LD2K I am 6'7" sf, try to play rec squads and have fun. My first matchup, AI. 2nd, 6'11" PF. 3rd, 7'0" center. What the actual, please fix the matchups. Even my accessories don’t transfer from court to court, one match with one match without
@monkopoulos Make sure you apply home AND away accessories for Rec.
