It looks and plays great on a 2nd gen Apple TV 4K with 2 DualSense controllers, but it has some weird bugs like one person being able to select the other person’s substitutions, and also trying to figure out that the weird bubbly square button icon in the menus was supposed to be mapped to the DualSense Start button was really confusing. Took me 5+ minutes to figure out how to actually start the game once we had picked our teams. Speaking of “our teams”: The game is not at all advertised as having conventional 2-player in-person 1v1 with two controllers, despite it being completely able to do so as I found out on my own, and I wish this had been clearer on the app’s page. I realize this is the same game on iOS devices where 2-player gameplay is less than ideal on a relatively small screen and thus not a big selling point, but on Apple TV where it’s actually practical & enjoyable, it makes much more sense to denote this capability.

Ok so the game has improved since my review. So far the crashing seems to be fixed but one problem it’s still having is the badge points bars, I’m still getting points after each game but the bars are stuck so I’m not receiving a badge point after the bars fill and supposed to start over. This was also an issue in 2k25. I also hope that you’re adding shoes to the 2k25 options on 2K26 and not removing them and only adding different shoes like instead of having the Jordans start at the 10s, why not just add all of them, 1-40 if possible or at least 1-21 and the 40s, we don’t even get the Carmelo jordans? Also why not have tattoo packages that could resemble Chris Anderson full body tattoos. Please, some of us pay every month just to play this game, please give us more options with myplayer. It’s a good game but I think most would like post conferences. Lets us be able to say we’re not just playing a version of 2K25 with a few different looks and changing the name of certain modes. And the myplayer is still not showing any emotions or celebrations like the other players. And the update also did something crazy with customization for the controls and how and where you can place the control buttons. I gave 3 stars but I’m aiming more towards 2.5 Appreciate you for listening

This game is almost amazing, it’s very fun to play, and has many fun mechanics and features to explore and play! One thing I’d complain, is that Eras mode doesn’t go on forever. 80s era ends at 1991, there’s no 90s or 2000s era in the game, so it leaves much to be desired. NBA 2K23 Mobile was extremely fun to play, and it played so differently from the newer 2K Mobiles. So it hurts when you delete the older games with every new release, it’s fun to be able to play with old rosters from years gone by, so please bring back the older games, and just shut down the online servers for them or something, it hurts not being able to play those old gems.

I’m excited for the different eras that’s so exciting I’m especially excited for the Kobe era and the LeBron era. One of the only things I would say right now is the setting were you can rewind a play so you can record or take a picture like in the play station 2k26. But otherwise great work so excited for the future this is and is going to be the best 2k arcade yet. Also if you can would it be possible for me to decide if I want to put a modern players in one of the past eras.
