Im very pleased with the game but come onnnn update it already please more updates more often.Add the Jordan era 90s and all the other eras at some point this year, make the in season cup better with the updated courts also so you can win the in season cup. please add the city jerseys add more that just three jerseys per team add like 6-7 more jerseys per team. also can you make the rewind mode thing. could you make it to where you can be all the teams at once that would be so awesome and if your team plays on Christmas or any holiday they should have a special jersey for that holiday and let us pick our jerseys in the season mode. Make some games at a neutral site for some games and add like area pulse to distract your opponent or yourself when you play on the road. Add more commentators like MJ or shaq or Reggie Miller or Mike Breen those would are guys should add I can’t stand the ones in the game now they don’t even know what they are talking about half of the time. Add the Mimi heat vice’s jerseys. Add the players signature shoes for those players also I speak for everyone we all hate the generic shoes please update the game

Ok so the game has improved since my review. So far the crashing seems to be fixed but one problem it’s still having is the badge points bars, I’m still getting points after each game but the bars are stuck so I’m not receiving a badge point after the bars fill and supposed to start over. This was also an issue in 2k25. I also hope that you’re adding shoes to the 2k25 options on 2K26 and not removing them and only adding different shoes like instead of having the Jordans start at the 10s, why not just add all of them, 1-40 if possible or at least 1-21 and the 40s, we don’t even get the Carmelo jordans? Also why not have tattoo packages that could resemble Chris Anderson full body tattoos. Please, some of us pay every month just to play this game, please give us more options with myplayer. It’s a good game but I think most would like post conferences. Lets us be able to say we’re not just playing a version of 2K25 with a few different looks and changing the name of certain modes. And the myplayer is still not showing any emotions or celebrations like the other players. And the update also did something crazy with customization for the controls and how and where you can place the control buttons. I gave 3 stars but I’m aiming more towards 2.5 Appreciate you for listening

overall, the game is good. i like how the devs incorporated more har styles like curly hair and cornrows, but hey still haven’t added things like undershirts. another reason why i didnt give this game 5 starts is because im playing the miami heat and i win, i get sent back to the neighborhood and then i crash. i’ve had to redo the game 3 times now and i just dropped a 51 point game and it didnt even save. everytime i load up the game, it crashes and ive had to reload it over and over again too. please fix the game im tired of my saves not loading and crashing every time i wanna play the gameedit: i genuinely cannot play this game without it crashing and just deleting all my data. FIX THE GAMEedit 2: im happy with the updates. the game is smoother but my only complaint is the customization and how your my player looks weird in the game. i want to be able to customize things like undershirts/compressions and a new variety of shoes that are up to date. i also want my my player to look how it was created, and not a pixilated version in game, other than that, the game is good.

Fun but buggy couch 1v1 on Apple TV

It looks and plays great on a 2nd gen Apple TV 4K with 2 DualSense controllers, but it has some weird bugs like one person being able to select the other person’s substitutions, and also trying to figure out that the weird bubbly square button icon in the menus was supposed to be mapped to the DualSense Start button was really confusing. Took me 5+ minutes to figure out how to actually start the game once we had picked our teams. Speaking of “our teams”: The game is not at all advertised as having conventional 2-player in-person 1v1 with two controllers, despite it being completely able to do so as I found out on my own, and I wish this had been clearer on the app’s page. I realize this is the same game on iOS devices where 2-player gameplay is less than ideal on a relatively small screen and thus not a big selling point, but on Apple TV where it’s actually practical & enjoyable, it makes much more sense to denote this capability.
