Polished Hoops, Great Feel But Frustrating Rough Edges
NBA 2K26 pushes the series forward in meaningful ways: the new motion system and gameplay tweaks make the action smoother, more realistic, and more fun. On-court, dribbling, shooting, and movement feel sharper than before transitions around the rim, post moves, and spacing feel better than past entries.

Realistic motion and gameplay overhaul
One of the headline upgrades this year is the ProPLAY Motion Engine, a machine-learning-powered system that delivers smoother and more lifelike player movement on court — from cuts and dribbles to defensive reactions. Animations are more responsive, and the overall feel is closer to actual NBA basketball than in recent installments

My favorite 2k in a looong time. I only buy the disc version of games so super refreshing to walk into best buy and be able to get a copy without a hassle.

As someone who hasn’t played 2K since 2023, I wasn’t sure what to expect — but NBA 2K26 on PS4 exceeded my expectations. The gameplay is noticeably better: smoother animations, more realistic movement, and better overall flow.
The graphics are phenomenal, from player likeness to arena detail. It really feels immersive. On top of that, the game has so many features and modes that there’s always something to do.
Definitely worth the upgrade.

NBA 2K26 looks amazing on PS5. Gameplay feels smoother, player movements are realistic, and the new MyCareer mode is really fun. Definitely worth upgrading if you love basketball games.

I've been playing 2k for over a decade. The last few years, in my opinion, were not very good. Gameplay was becoming extraordinary complicated. And not very fluid. Glad to see with this year's edition, controls were made more user friendly and shooting actions more realistic. Just my feedback. Hope they follow suit with coming years.
