Age is not slowing Kawhi Leonard down. The Klaw is showing how sharp his skills are by averaging a career-high 28.1 points per game in an attempt to bail the LA Clippers out of their unenviable position in the Western Conference, courtesy of sloppy start to the season. His current efforts have netted the 34-year-old a two-point upgrade in NBA 2K26, bringing his tally up to 94 OVR.
So you can typically save quite a bit of cash by keeping up with the franchise on a one year delay as the price comes down. Though that comes with the caveat of never having up to date rosters and staying a year behind on any new changes to the series. That changes right now though because the latest entry for basketball in NBA 2K26 has dropped to just $30 at Amazon.
Madden NFL 26 is on sale for a new all-time low price at Amazon and Best Buy. Both retailers are offering $30 discounts on the PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X editions of the latest iteration of EA's annual football sim. You can also grab EA Sports College Football 26 for $38 on PS5 at Walmart and get a free steelbook case. Best Buy has College Football 26 for $40 for PlayStation and Xbox, while Amazon has the deal for Xbox and is sold out on PlayStation.
For the record, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown says it wasn't him playing NBA 2K26 in the wee hours Sunday before his team played the Cleveland Browns in Week 4. "That was one of my buddies playing on my account," St. Brown clarified after Thursday's practice. A clip of St. Brown went viral over the weekend, with his gaming profile allegedly popping up on the NBA 2K26 MyPlayer park at 4 a.m. before the Lions faced the Browns at home.
Unlike regular VC upgrades, Cap Breakers are limited resources that provide permanent attribute boosts for your current save file. The system has evolved significantly in NBA 2K26. While Cap Breakers still provide a +1 boost to high-rated attributes, they now offer much larger improvements when applied to lower-rated stats. For example, a low three-point rating on a center build could jump by 10+ points with a single Cap Breaker, potentially unlocking valuable shooting badges.
NBA 2K26 features a variety of modes and content, but creating the best MyPlayer builds is a time-honored tradition every year. Your MyPlayer is used to access a wide majority of the game's content, and when you opt to create your own player, you need to kit them out with every attribute that makes for an NBA star. You can specify their position, height, weight, and, most importantly, attributes.
