2K27 Dev Updates

Book has a new ProPlay breakdown for 2K27.

if you ever see a non-green go in... it was either deflected in (not the case here) or the physics engine failed to resolve the miss properly. the physics team has spent a lot of time trying to iron out those issues for 2K27.

it's easier to hit stepback 3's with Luka this year. his stepback 3 going left is one of the go-to shots for me when i use the lakers.

Yes. same 10% boost

as a PF, high interior is pretty important imo. if you get matched up with a masher, you'll get fried in the paint with low interior.

The Shot Button and Rhythm Shooting have identical green window sizes. But for rhythm shooting your accuracy in matching the Tempo, which is more difficult to do this year compared to last year, can make your green window expand or shrink slightly from that base size. So if you're really good at matching the tempo of your shot, you will have a slight advantage over button shooters. But if your tempo isn't as consistent, you will be putting yourself at a disadvantage using rhythm. Rhythm shooting will always be cooler than the button IMO though. 😎

it's closer to 25 than 26, but not exactly the same.

On Semi-Pro and Pro, it's always SQUARE/X to finish oops. On Rookie, there's no button at all (like last year.) The directional alley-oop finish buttons are on the rest of the difficulties.

Yes you can use RP% offline. You can disable dunk timing offline too.

Late contests on layups and dunks is a tough problem to solve. If you takeoff and are wide open for most of the layup but a great defender closes out late just as you release the ball, we still want that defender to matter. so locking the green window at takeoff or just after takeoff isn't the best fix. Late contests aren't as strong in 27 as they were in 26... so in general, the layup meter doesn't shrink late as drastically this year, but it still can shrink. we tried to mitigate this by always starting off the layup/dunk meter somewhat small to not give people a false sense of security with a giant green window as a target early in the layup. this makes the green window more stable overall but having said that, it's always best to try and release the button/stick when the fill bar is completely full on every attempt, so a late defender doesn't knock you out of the window.

a crew can have multiple 5v5 games running simultaneously

Here's the list of dribble move categories you can customize. Moving Breakdowns are cool, they're quick signature combos that play when you hold Turbo and flick right stick Up on the move: Triple-Threat Style Triple-Threat Breakdown Triple-Threat Jab-Step Triple-Threat Stepover Signature Size-Up Breakdown Combos Moving Breakdown Combos Combo Moves Crossover Moving Between Legs Crossover Behind-the-Back Spin Hesitation Stepback Hesitation Escape Crossover Escape Between Legs Escape Behind-the-Back Escape Misdirection Hesitation Misdirection Crossover Misdirection Behind-the-Back Hesitation Crossover Combo Double Crossover Combo Behind-the-Back Launch Stepback Crossover Lateral Stepback Moving Cross Spin In-and-Out Lateral Hesitation

Rhythm shooting isn't exactly like 2K25 but it's closer to it. Just like the Shot Button, you have to green your timing to make your shots. Tempo (the speed at which you move the right stick from down to up) just modifies the size of the green window. The closer you match the tempo to the shooting motion, the bigger your window gets boosted (it's not a "massive" boost btw), but if you rush or drag the tempo, the window will shrink to be smaller than if you had just used the button. It's impossible to say with 100% certainty that there's perfect parity between the button and stick because they're fundamentally different mechanics, but we've focus tested rhythm shooting heavily with a wide skill range of players and I'm pretty confident that we've landed in a good spot.

Takeover is interesting this year. There are 5 buckets that level up or down based on how you perform in those buckets. Ratings that correspond to those buckets fluctuate up or down with them. When you max out one of the buckets, the Takeover ability you assign to that bucket pops automatically and times out after a few possessions (varies based on the strength of the Take.)

Hopefully this is a little more clear. If you take 100 shots and average 40% make percentage with zero badges. What would you expect your shot % to climb to if you took those same exact 100 shots but were fully badged out. 45-50% 51-60% 61-70% 70%+

nice cover. yes that move is still in 2k27. With ball in left hand, RS to 9’oclock, twirl counter clockwise, release, immediately throw RS 3 o’clock
