Non-meta bigs and Deep End cheating claims lead the 2K27 feed as Season 1’s last week nears

Joe Knows’ stretch big and Double H’s Deep End run top YouTube, NBA 2K Tutes digs into broken layups, and 2K still hasn’t dated the pre-Season 2 patch.

Official updates

  • Official Still no new patch. 2K’s patch page ends at the unnumbered September 17 gameplay update, and the last numbered update is still v1.5 (September 11). 2K says a broader patch will land before Season 2, but it hasn’t given a date. (2K patch notes)
  • Official 2K’s Season Events Guide lists Wear & Earn Wednesday every week through October 14, so today’s is one of the last two. The guide lists nothing after that. 2K hasn’t announced a Season 2 date, so treat any date you see as a guess. (2K Support: Season Events Guide)

What the community is talking about

  • Community - verify Double H’s Deep End video is the most-watched 2K27 upload of the window (about 86K views when we checked). He says the 60-hour event took 1.5 million MyPoints to win and that he faced auto-greeners. He also says the event’s early leader was banned for auto-greening on another account. Those are his claims, and 2K hasn’t commented. (Double H (YouTube))
  • Community - verify Patch impatience is growing. 2KIntel’s “update required every day” post drew about 418 likes, and one r/NBA2k poster says their jumper felt different after a required update. iPodKingCarter guesses the patch is 7 to 8 days away (about 7K views, 104 comments). None of that comes from 2K. (@2KIntel on X · r/NBA2k: jumper after update · iPodKingCarter (YouTube))
  • Community - verify The other big debate is whether players just need to adapt. Brutalsim Da Guru’s “community is turning on itself” video has about 16K views and roughly 600 comments, and Kevin Cruz’s “sad state of the community” has about 12K views and 208 comments.

Build & attribute meta

  • Creator/guide Joe Knows’ 6'11 post-scoring stretch big is the top build video (about 83K views). He made it on purpose to go against all the high Driving Dunk builds. J Glitz’s 6'9 99 Dunk + 99 Block build kept climbing to about 81K views. (Joe Knows (YouTube) · J Glitz (YouTube))
  • Creator/guide Big builds keep coming: Solo’s 7'4 “Hulk” (about 34K views), and Giannis builds from COLETHEMAN (about 28K) and Dignify2K (6'11, about 15K). TravisJay2k’s 6'11 Durant-style power forward says it gets 63 badge tokens with 2 to 5 cap breakers. Check every gate in NBA 2K HQ.

  • Creator/guide NBA2KLab posted a 6'5 build update built around the Sharpshooter, Zip Code and Air Space takeovers (about 9K views, about 160 likes on X) and a no-dip shooting 7'0 center (about 18K views). BADGEPLUG’s sponsored video on a paid cap-breaker planner has about 40K views. (NBA2KLab: 6'5 update (YouTube) · @NBA2KLab on X · NBA2KLab: 7'0 center (YouTube) · BADGEPLUG (YouTube))

Finishing & animations

  • Creator/guide NBA 2K Tutes looked at why layups feel broken (about 19K views, 192 comments). The video shows the green window also shrank mid-shot in 2K24 and 2K26. It argues the bigger cause is the huge mix of new animations, which makes layup outcomes far more random. That’s one creator’s analysis. (NBA 2K Tutes (YouTube))
  • Community - verify xUncleCaino says he keeps missing dunks even with the meter in the green, so he cancels them into layups with a right-stick flick (about 17K views). NBA2KLab’s two-way motion styles short has about 30K views. Neither is a confirmed 2K fix. (xUncleCaino (YouTube) · NBA2KLab: motion styles (YouTube))
  • Creator/guide ThE Book Of SwantE’s jumpshots-by-height list has about 10K views. CourtCraft doesn’t cover jumpshots, so use NBA2KLab for those. (ThE Book Of SwantE (YouTube) · NBA2KLab)
