NBA 2K27
Basketball from 2K, this time with a career mode for two — which only runs online, though.
What it is about
The 2K basketball simulation, 2027 edition: career, club management, collectible cards and the usual match modes.
New this year is a career mode for two. It only runs over the internet, though — a normal match for two on one console works as it always has.
First take
For an evening for two on the sofa little changes here: a match on one console works as it has in every 2K for twenty years, and one copy covers it. What is interesting is the new co-op career mode, and that is also what people are arguing about. It runs online only, has to be unlocked first, and several reviews report that the second person does not control their own player there but a fixed one from the story. Anyone buying it for that should know beforehand. How the game stands overall is something we will say once there are enough reviews.
This game has only just come out. The co-op details are settled and sourced; a PairScore still needs reviews. We will add it as soon as there are enough.

What other co-op fans say
Fifty-nine percent approval on day two, and the camps are far apart. The feel of play gets praised throughout: scoring is harder, defence matters again, and a player’s ratings count for something — several reviews call it the best version in years. The criticism hits two things. First the new co-op career mode, of all things: repetitive, barely any story, and the second person does not get a player of their own. Second the paid content that building a player runs along.
- “The co-op in MyCareer is a huge improvement I usually play with one other person and it used to be streaming a career game on discord or playing playnow, but now we can actually play together in MyCareer.”
- “I like the co-op, it adds a fresh twist and challenge, but it lets you build your duo exactly how you want.”
- “The AI isn’t just sagging off on every possession while you light them up for 100+ points now they actually play defense and you have to actually play basketball to score.”
- “the co-op is crap for duo’s as well since the second player can’t even use a myplayer”
