Unrealistic
Making very late and 100 percent covered shots, very unrealistic and can’t play on the road or even at home. Just get 2k on ur nintendo switch at this point😹😹😹0/10000 don’t recommend.

★★★★ I don’t like nba 2k mobile 👎 6/23/2026 v10.13.12193089
Why so laggy
I was playing a finals then when I shot no contested greeen beans it managed not to go in, it was so laggy that it would cut and then go back to normal but the opponent scored, 👎👎👎👎

★★★★ Alajhfhjjdhhd 6/22/2026 v10.13.12193089
Worst game ever
So I’m playing a game and it’s the Celtics vs the Knick’s and I’m Knick’s the Celtics go for a layup with about 4 people on him and he scores and I do the same thing but it was on the golden and I should have made it but I missed and I lost the game because of a layup
I want a refund.1 star
★★★★ Ronaldo cr7 7 6/22/2026 v10.13.12193089
I can’t even play a real game
I can’t even play a real game for the 1st period this game is trash don’t get it
★★★★ L_iam(; 6/21/2026 v10.13.12193089
I hate this game
First of all the quarters of the game are only 2 minutes the game is rigged I wish it was like regular 2k like at least a six minute quarter will be nice every single time I shoot the ball and the meter is green it flys out the basket so please just fix these problems because I am starting to get annoyed with all of this.
★★★★ hateronnie2k 6/20/2026 v10.13.12193089
the WORST game ever.
this game actually sucks the players are always scrambled and when it’s green IT DOESNT EVEN GO IN. Ronnie 2k i genuinely hate you and make me hate 2k in general ur making my life miserable.
★★★★ RobbiBoomX11 6/19/2026 v10.13.12193089
Head2Head is Horrible
Head2Head is a frustrating experience and, in its current state, feels like a complete waste of time and energy. I’m constantly matched against players with poor internet connections, which causes severe lag and slows gameplay to a crawl. Even worse, many matches end up being canceled due to connection issues, and there is no compensation or rewards provided for the time spent. It’s disappointing to invest time into a match only for it to be abandoned because of factors outside of my control.
★★★★ SinitarGD 6/18/2026 v10.13.12193089
Trash
How is it that none of my teammates can grab a rebound or shoot wide open shots and how come when I’m controlling a character they jump even though I don’t tell them to the games graphics are terrible don’t play at all
★★★★ Bigdinoguyyesdinonuggets 6/17/2026 v10.13.12193089
This game sucks
Immediately as I download the game, the mechanics are too hard and too difficult for me to actually navigate, the main menu is confusing, the tournament immediately throws you into the deep end against an 8 million power team, head2head is boring, this whole game makes me realize even more why I quit basketball in the first place.
★★★★ Devin booker1!167 6/17/2026 v10.13.12193089
Ps5
This is not controller compatible at ALL
★★★★★ .ddmeke 6/26/2026 v10.14.12250629
Could be a good game
The game could be good but every player who does not deserve a insane power gets like 50 mil I played the wizards and a person averaging 10 points per game had like 30 mil power
★★★★★ Andrew keilman m 6/25/2026 v10.14.12250629
1 v 1 won’t work
I try to 1 v 1 my friend but we can’t. Fix this now.

★★★★★ MFC_24_8 6/17/2026 v10.13.12193089
