NBA 2K27 Review
Sep 8, 2026 · 6m
Summary
IGN reviews NBA 2K27, noting that while on-court gameplay feels smoother with improved defensive movement and a new logic-based dunk meter, the title is let down by flawed new modes. Reviewer Nico Vergara criticizes My Career Eras for forcing players to start fresh in each era and highlights the lack of historical player options in My NBA Legacy. The review also points to an increased emphasis on microtransactions and a middling My Career story, resulting in a final score of 6 out of 10.
