Is NBA 2K25 Good on the Steam Deck?

[@Bushidounohana]

Interesting. I could see myself finally moving on from 2k16, running this at medium and capping the refresh rate to 40, thanks for sharing your experience!

[@pyurologie]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Let me know if you give it a try!

[@oldtimebenchmarks5294]

The steamdeck us such a great option for gamers , strong great OS and pretty much runs everything that is important great video man !!!

[@pyurologie]

i agree. steam deck still the goat of handhelds for now

[@Benjamin.B.]

​@@pyurologiejust looking into handhelds, any experience with the rog ally?

[@KnightMD]

High at 40 locked is INCREDIBLE news. I might just get it on discount because of that.

[@Spencerwalker21]

It's not locked but close. When the camera pans or shows the NPC crowd especially in the beginning of the ore game whatever it'll tank 😅but actually hooping is great I play at 40 with a couple settings tweaked but mostly high. I don't play online but park games run great but traversing the city is bad but doable edit when it drops from 40 it'll stutter slightly I turned NPC crowd density and the NPC detail to low to help with that

1:27 that alley oop tho 😮

[@pyurologie]

the new animations are pretty sickk dude

[@LastWonBeats]

Im thinking about buying a Steam Deck and the reason being is i will be traveling abroad and I only play a handful of games which mainly is 2k, its inconvenient traveling with a huge PS5 lol Thanks for the Up!

[@pyurologie]

glad it was helpful! yeah it runs pretty well on it, very enjoyable on the go!

[@shelimarrivera1382]

You didnt have to call out the rockets like that I'm crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@pyurologie]

😂 i'll never forget watching this game: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKDbZ5qdj9WrpKs that team was a wagon.. it was unbelievable watching it all fall apart

[@wesleyjean8641]

Hahah😂😂😂

[@Panos_GRE]

You should upgrade to the OLED. The difference in fan noise and temp is huge. Not to mention the better and larger screen and better control sticks.

[@timbo1992]

Thanks for this video man!! I get 2k each year for the deck & love it. What do you think of this year?

[@pyurologie]

awesome, yeah i've played 2K since the original on dreamcast hah. I like the new animations, but coming from 2K24, the movement feels a little "floaty", like they're on ice skates. I'm getting used to it though, still enjoying it.

[@owoncieis6889]

How many hours can you get playing low or medium settings? Thanks in advance

[@slimerxp]

sweet ... did u try it on the legion go?

[@pyurologie]

thanks man! yeah, it runs really nice on the Legion Go and ROG Ally. Smoooooth

[@brianhangfaing4946]

@@pyurologie do u have rog ally x and if u do do u like it over steamdeck?

[@pyurologie]

hi, no i have the original ROG Ally Z1X. It's a more powerful device and can run higher graphics settings in games, but it eats a lot of power when you push it to its full potential, which requires being plugged in. That kind of makes it being handheld moot, you know what i mean. I love my ROG Ally, but as a handheld portable device, Steam Deck is still better. ROG Ally is very powerful though and great to use if you plan on leaving it plugged in a lot.

[@pedro78723]

Hey man, let me ask you something. Sorry if I made any mistakes, English is my second language. I was playing 2K with the regular settings, and suddenly my console powered off, do u think it's because I was with the regular settings?

[@pyurologie]

no worries your english is great. It just shuts off every time? or was it a one time thing?

[@pedro78723]

@@pyurologie It just happened I was playing 2k :(. With other games I don´t have this kind of problem

[@markwang9259]

Can I ask, you can play this directly under steam os, or you have to play under windows? thanks!

[@pyurologie]

this is directly through steamOS

[@markwang9259]

@@pyurologie thanks! But I saw on the steam webpage, the game only showed with windows Logo. I looked ok PC webpage, I plan to buy a steam deck soon, so I don't know whether it's ok under steam os

[@pyurologie]

@@markwang9259 must not be updated. this is running off of native steamOS

[@Spencerwalker21]

Medium at a 45 fps cap sounds like a good balance

[@kmklove]

what version of steamdeck is it? lcd or oled? thx for your work i'm really waiting for the 9800x3d for tarkov

[@pyurologie]

original launch LCD 512GB model. np, yeah it's coming out so soon!

[@EazyE11]

What kind of sorcery is this? It stutters massively and looks horrible on my Legion Go, and the Go handles all the most demanding titles I throw at it 🤨

[@pyurologie]

i got it running like a champ on my legion go and rog ally. ill post a video on it soon.

[@Alxanoo]

is it next gen like on PC?

[@smoovfizzle8054]

yes

[@smooveyorkcity]

am i able to play online with my friends on ps5? and can i play on online without lagging ?

[@pyurologie]

the PC version is not cross platform with Xbox and PS5 unfortunately

[@smooveyorkcity]

@ thanks.. so i can only get that playstation portal, to crossplay with friends on playstation and xbox?

[@Spencerwalker21]

Can you try my eras is the text size to small I have bad eyesight.

[@GabrielTaalOriondo]

[@pyurologie]

i never tested high crowd setting ill try it and let u know

[@GabrielTaalOriondo]

@@pyurologie how bout medium crowd setting?

[@pyurologie]

i'll try it tonight and let you know

[@GabrielTaalOriondo]

@@pyurologie thankyou i wait

[@RETROESKIMO3ATC]

I don’t get why on ps5 you can’t change the graphics settings to get better fps

[@pyurologie]

😔 yeah damn...

[@barryjamesmusicPH]

yes it is good. hd 60fls

[@realandrisbiedrins]

0:30 LMFAOOO 4:11 the city is low fps even on PS5 and has unfortunately always been low fps, even on next gen consoles. Just lazy optimization work by 2K per usual

[@pyurologie]

😂 ah good to know thx for sharing

[@lemreyes7228]
