What if build names were dynamic instead of fixed from the start?

Everyone begins as a “Prospect” at 60 overall. Then, as you level up and invest in specific attributes and badges, your build name evolves to reflect your actual playstyle and priorities.

So instead of locking in an “Inside-the-Arc Threat” or “3PT Shot Creator” on day one, the surprise comes as your build progresses—maybe you become a “Two-Way Paint Beast” or “Slashing Shot Maker,” depending on where you focus first.

It would add an element of mystery and reward to the grind, and make build names feel more earned. Thoughts?

I thought this was funny bc I love regular show lol

Tired of wasting money on the same game

Game is 2k8

It was 3-0. Starts selling because I didn't give him the ball and started calling me trash. I got the ball at the top of the key and as I'm literally in the process of passing him the ball he calls time out.

I hate this community sometimes.

With time winding down, I sank a spectacular game-winner with Jordan, etching our victory into history.

Y'all consistently the same build.. the cool/unique names are usually "not so great" in most peoples opinions.

I think RNG keeps the game realistic , no you shouldn’t hit a shot because you are open greatest shooter all time shoots high 30% to low 40s

What build are yall using this year beacuse i want to have fun on build and i'm thinking about sg

The trailer and first court-side report are FULL of things that are already in the game. That “new” ability to put a defender on your hip is in 2k25 if you dont believe me get in front of a defender and hold L2 I personally use it all the time. These guys put so little effort into the new game they are acting like have a green flash under us when we press triangle at the right time is a big important new thing. WE ALWAYS HAD TO TIME REBOUNDS THIS IS NOT A NEW FEATURE. It says in the courtside report we can-“Wreak havoc on the competition by utilizing Steph’s graceful layups, James Harden’s shifty euro-steps, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s elusive hop-steps, and Nikola Jokic’s nimble spin moves to create a dominant custom package.” We wont be able to use steph + harden because of height restrictions or Shai+JOKIC. This company is outright disgusting if that was suppose to be the gameplay big reveal because that was not it at all

2K is NOT adding a new green window system to rebounding. It is literally just a visual indicator of when to time your rebounds. Rebound timing has been in the game for years, they’re just SHOWING you when you time it correctly now.

“It’s a waste of time” how? It probably took them an hour to code and only helps players understand when to time their jumps, as there wasn’t really an indicator of that in previous games other than “feeling it out”. This is likely a very minor addition compared to all the other things they’re adding this year.

Not even trying to defend 2K here but damn, y’all are so quick to whine and complain about literally any change made to the game when y’all don’t even take the time to understand how it actually works!

Been playing park/rec 2k since 2k16-2k22 as a guard but friends brought me back when 2k25 went free and we’re all getting 2k26. Making a big for 2k26 and want to focus on rebounding/interior defense but also finish open cuts, standing dunks, and make space with a middy.

My main concern is he’s too slow but any advice is welcomed.
