NBA 2K26
A genuinely excellent basketball simulator wrapped in an economy where one season's pass costs more than the whole discounted game — and where the sequel went on pre-order while those passes were still being sold.

NBA 2K27
A basketball sim whose acknowledged on-court improvements to shooting and defense are overwhelmed by a genuinely severe launch reception, including misleading crossplay marketing that actually blocks PC players from console friends, widely-reported unmoderated racist harassment in online lobbies, rampant cheating, aggressive VC-driven monetization, and a post-launch patch that broke the game outright for a meaningful share of players.
