This is a really good and honest review. I only play offline modes. Just pure hoop. This is probably the best SIM version of bball I’ve played. Respect Da czar and Mike wang for bringing good ol hoops back for us sim heads.

This definitely feels like an older 2k as far as the way the sim plays and I love it

[@cococock2418]

pathetic comment, gameplay was never the issue for 2k. it was the ridiculous anti-consumer practices in my team in my career, which have been made even worse in this game. if all you do is "play offline modes", you can pick up 2k24 for free and experience just that. stop defending this trash, aint nobody spending 70 bucks to play quick play

Damn, he said he’s been playing since 2K13 and he’s a old head. I been playing 2K since NBA 2K where 2k stood for the year 2000 and it was made by visual concepts for Sega Dreamcast…and before then nba live from 95-2000 and before then nba showdown. We read 2k13 and my co workers laughed. You’re not old kid.. You’re pretty new to this.. but nonetheless an entertaining video from a newcomer

[@juicyplanet7977]

Microtransactions is what ruined 2k's rating for a sports game for YEARS. It's frustrating to know 2k could be so much better if they stop using majority of thier resources for online and pay more attention to every aspect of a full priced sports game. Some people don't care for the cheesy pay to win online modes and is tired of getting lackluster innovation to the offline modes compared to the online. Even then, some of the "NEW" online modes are just heavily monetized money grabs to tempt you to by more VC. However, 2k25 is worth buying, BUT only when it's on sale. There's definitely fun to be had on this game and 2k did improve on certain parts of the game, but not for full price. Gameplay is AMAZING probably one of the best EVER compared to previous 2k's. The graphics on the player models actually do looked improved this year, and not just a walking bucket of more sweat. So I can respect your review of 2k25, but personally for me its a 6.5 out of 10. Not a horrible game, just better than 2k24 and that's not saying much.

Ain’t gonna lie, I had 2k25 gameplay in the background, and I was super baked. Forgot it was on and turned around and was watching it during a transition, and thinking I really had a game on.

Probably done 5 year cycle with my purchase with any sports games.

[@McArthurM]

[@augustusx82]

Since this comment section has become more about how old this kid is ..as opposed to the actual game review, let’s take a trip down memory lane. I remember when the NFL 2K came out for Dreamcast and to us it looked like toy story graphically. We had never seen anything like that in our lives. Then all of a sudden people started saying “what if 2K made a basketball game that looked as good as the football game “……… Thus one of the greatest Christmases of all time was coming right around the corner ..and nobody knew it.. only Macaulay Culkin in home alone 2 lost in New York had a greater Christmas …because when Allen Iverson graced the cover in the year 2000, life changed, it was never the same after that. Absolutely the greatest basketball leap in the history of video games that we have ever seen. Yeah there have been different systems to come out after the Dreamcast, but nothing was more fun than NBA 2K. We can’t compare technologies, we’re just talking about pound for pound, fun for fun.. many of us haven’t had as much fun since that Christmas …and we’ve owned all the NBA LIVEs and all the NBA 2Ks. Relatively speaking video games were made for 80s babies, they were made for us, God knows I had to plead with my mom to buy me a Dreamcast .. but it’s different to see the next generation playing the stuff that was made for us.

Great review and I agree with everything you just said. Except, that you’re an “old head“ lol. That term is reserved for dudes like me who have bought every single iteration of the NBA 2K series since the very first one on Dreamcast. Not to mention before that all the EA titles Lakers versus Celtics, Blazers versus Bulls and then before that double dribble on Nintendo lol I am an old head haha. The great video and everything you said is spot on.

Bought the game today eh same game shotting is still horrible players can’t fade stand up shooting 3s no bend in the hang time .this game was basically made for just driving to the basket .

I won't be getting NBA 2K25 not because the game is considered good or trash it's because I'm not a every year get 2k type of player the only ones I played in like a two year span is 2k16, 2k22, and 2k24. The only sports games I considered getting yearly is NHL and MLB The Show

[@McArthurM]

@@jaylenbarnes2.079 I can’t blame you one bit I still see 16 as the goat of 2K games

[@codydale9123]

Thats what i do too. My last 2k was 19. I bought 23 on sale monrhs ago. Now i just bought 25 and i love so far. You got more fluidity with movement, response seems faster. You can run out of bounds easy wich is realistic if y9ur going that way. I love the new dribble with left so you mainly just use right to shoot with.. my fav 2k so far... early review.. 2k 26 will bethe same game, probaly just a little more added and more polished up version. So waiting is good unless the changes they make ruin that version... wich usually gets updated out. Its a solid game if you wanna buy it. But if ya wait thats good too. 26 should be a better game. Should be... taking a break and waiting few yesrs is the way to go.. Even me im dumb to buy game bran new... wait for sale. I got nba 2k23 for like 10 bucks. And it felt new to me cuz last was 19... thats how ya save money.. have to not have the temptation to play the newer games tho..

I guess my big thing is it worth $70 for just mycareer? Like it’s all I play lol

[@JazzyJeff910]

Same. But sadly the show is pretty much a copy and paste game now also. RTTS is just as barebones as it was in 2017.

[@jaylenbarnes2.079]

@JazzyJeff910 On MLB the Show I mainly just play Offline Play Now, Francishie Mode, and sometimes play Diamond Dynasty it's pretty fun, and I'm not really a RTTS player but I try it every now and then

[@luciaura666]

I’m just not gonna play, if I can’t doll my player up and make everything pretty why even play, and fuck supporting the microtransactions of 2K.

[@jontrellolando]

You lost me when you said the gra on hics were the same as real life. They're good but you're gkazing with that one. They gotta be paying you

I’ve been playing 2K before you were born lol

[@McArthurM]

😂 true old head

[@officialjunot]

@@McArthurMyezzir. I remember when the Dreamcast came out and it was the first game I purchased. Allen Iverson on the cover. Damn I’m old lol

[@McArthurM]

@officialjunot dude that’s awesome I’m a little envious tbh

[@officialjunot]

@@McArthurM don’t be. The only good games back then were the JRPG’s. I tell my kids all the time, as gamer they don’t know how good they have it.

Job well done bro

[@McArthurM]

I appreciate you I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@kinGsaL1515]

Is there actually no player control on this game like Im hearing?

[@Deym0415]

improvements of graphics and gameplay of nba2k is slow why??? obvious answer is, its because they don't have enough time to make the game, they release the game every year😂 unlike other games that take couple of years before release😂😂
