NBA 2K25 Is a bit rough on the Steam Deck but is it Playable?

Thanks the graphics improved. Can you share your video settings?

This is definitely because of bad optimization, this shouldn't be this hard to run

[@EastSide_LB]

Nope, 2k23 ran PERFECTLY smh

[@MrTomJow]

​@@EastSide_LBlol 2k23 was last gen, 2k25 is current gen, they brought the same versions from series x and ps5 this year, that's why

Nba 2k24 played alot better. I really hope they optimize and update for us! I bought this game and little disappointed initially

dammit

Getting it just to play offline as i don't care for My career and My team. I usually just 1v1 my family and friends or just play my era's.

[@felixthekitty2241]

Yeah love the Stam Deck

[@SteamDeckGaming]

it took me way too long to realise why, thanks though

[@dylandoesbasketball]

has the gameplay not been fixed by a patch yet

[@JaySmurdaThyScrubGod]

Aye it's you!!

[@JalapenoPrime]

Wish a lot of these 2k sport games didn't tie speed to the frame rate. You don't need 60 FPS for these kind of games. Same with the WWE games.

[@ChiBrianXIII]

lol, yes you actually do. No one wants to play sports game below 60fps. Same with racing games.

[@realmadebypete]

yeah, you def need 60fps. Especially when you have your shot meter off and want to time your shots. Imagine doing that online at 30fps.

[@isurvivedtheshakerheightss7922]

Your right …only games u really need 60fps of for online competitive FPS games…otherwise u can play sports games at around 40-45 and you’ll be fine

[@SpeedPunkOfficial]

I mean it looks way better than the switch version,i had 2k24 on my switch. It looked rough on the switch. Idk why they keep making nba 2k on switch,just focus on steam deck and other handhelds

Seems fine to me i would up the settings and lock to 45 andi who cares what the frane rate is running around doing nothing in the park imo at least.

Just want to be a jerk and say it's Pro-Am, short for Professional-Amateur. It's usually when a league or organization holds events where players compete with celebrities or the community in an exhibition.

[@AndrewDaniele87]

What happened between 2k23 and 2k25? I have 2k23 and get 60 fps on ultra

[@denzbarzs7150]

I only play 2k games on play now mode and play online but mostly offline. I dont mind the other features

[@chrischan6211]

Is the PC version current gen or is it last gen (like PS4)?

[@ObeeEye]

It's current gen

[@ElijahHernandez-y6q]

I just got it on my deck it won’t let me buy VC

[@Panos_GRE]

That's a good thing.

[@allurevibe]

Honestly 2k player base is strong enough on console and desktop. I can’t see them wanting to optimize their game for handheld devices.

[@EastSide_LB]

So your arenas are empty too.... 😒

[@KiahProductions]

Can you play offline

[@SteamDeckGaming]

Only the standard matches. My career and my team require online.

@kosmosokaubojai8098 I totally agree about the optimizations. But you looking to steam deck as "pure portable console", I see as a portable pc running optimized steam. Your pc is very good now, but in few years will need change the settings as well to play something new
