5+ day, 18+ hour ago   (1266+ words) TL;DR: NBA 2K27 improves where it counts on the court, particularly defense and contested finishing, but disappointing MyCareer systems, restrictive Eras progression and persistent monetisation keep an excellent basketball foundation from becoming an equally excellent package.
