NBA 2K25 reviewed by Nico Vergara on PlayStation 5, also available on Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
The more things change, the more they stay the same, and that’s never been more true than with NBA 2K25. Although the core gameplay feels familiar (and it most likely always will), a handful of improvements such as Go-To Moves, Rhythm Shooting, and Shot Timing Profiles also make it more novel and challenging. I love that the Heart of a Dynasty storyline and the return of Streetball highlight a renewed focus on single-player experiences that, I hope, mean things will be even better next year. Don’t get me wrong; microtransactions are still as pervasive and frustrating as ever. But spending money doesn’t always feel as necessary this time, especially in MyTeam, thanks to the return of the Auction House. So, although NBA 2K25 isn’t on the level of Michael Jordan’s splashy return in 1995, it can at least compare to his late-career stint with the Washington Wizards; you know what you’re getting at this point, but it still has a few tricks up its sleeves that longtime fans like me can be pleasantly surprised by even as we grumble about long-standing issues.

Same game every year just like Madden nah I'm good
Tatum catching strays. I love it
I want to buy this game since the last one i bought was 2k20, but 2k is trash. This is a glorified NBA themed casino. Same thing with madden. The advertisements and micro transactions are just SO constant and in your face. I think I’ll probably pick up 2k26, even though that’ll be worse, but then I’m likely good until 2k33-2k34. Even if i do buy 2k26, i won’t ever pay more than 20-30 bucks for a sports game.
Didn’t even mention myNBA
NGL, I feel like the Devs actually got it right this time. I agree with the "playing offline" comments. It would be nice to have the ability to choose Game Commentators and Team Coaches in Play Now mode.
why can't they make the texture better???
Spending $70+ every year for the same game is awful. Wait every 2 to 3 years. Even if they change the previous games to make them harder to enjoy, it’s still NOT worth it to keep spending money.
i almost fell a victim to the black friday sale and bought this game but all the reviews made me reconsider. thanks yall and fuck 2k
Same old crap you all buy every year and complain about
This guy put me to sleep. Need more energy
I can’t stand the shooting in this. OMG. There are casual players who don’t play online or us who ain’t that good but love to play. The shooting is disgraceful and disgusting. Cmon man.
Worst 2k I ever played
If you buy a console get a ps4 the A.I system is not fully implemented to tamper on there.
2k24 is ass also only because of the hidden moderators and flawed badge system because the moderators are rainbow and ts and old people, and pure evil and if u don't accept them they tamper, which is cool with me I keep my soul ill just play offline until I sell my ps5 on ebay.
Did you give this a higher rating than 2k24 because of the kid cheerleaders?
Do they have to change the shot meter every fuckinf year ??
Can you get rid of the green fire at the rim????
NBA 2k24 gameplay for me is better, in 2k24 your teammates are always moving around making cuts and looking for ways to get open, in NBA 2k25 is much less movement…yes the actual player control is refined and has nice animations but the overall gameplay from your teammates is bad compared to 2k24
This game is trash.
They should give the money they spend on graphics every year to charity coz these characters still look like playdough
Can I play 2k25 on ps5 and play with my friend who is on ps4? Thanks
