If my analogy wasn't clear at the end of the video during my verdict. you can still have a lot of fun in this game outside of myCareer for zero extra cost. Franchise mode is a blast and if you are cool with playing that, you'll really enjoy 2k25 as the gameplay is phenomenal, presentation is fun and Eras brings a lot of extra depth to an already deep franchise mode (myNBA)
When you buy "boosts" or earn them, it forces you to use them. PREDATOERY: I'm at that park and I buy a 10 pack of boosts. Then I play my career, it makes me use boosts. I pay for season premium for one season. Earn all my 2x tokens. Then they disappear the next season. I'm not buying this sht.
it's def a grind. I'm estimating based on how much VC I earn per game it would take me 2 seasons to get to an 85 overall. I think what I'm gonna do is contue playing myNBA, and just stack up VC in there and then head over to myCareer and continue playing that.
If the default build for mycareer was a 70 or 75. Paying and grinding wouldn't be as bad. This year's number 1 rookie from the NBA was a 75 overall. Bronny James is a 68 as a 2nd rounder. And yet when you start, you're a 60? That's 3rd round! Jumping from 75 to 85 would save money to be spent on other things or just saved up. It's insane to keep the default at 60 overall, year after year.
this is a great review bro, u went super in depth but also didnt go on too long, I like how u talked about how u wanted more of those lind of rpg elements like playing horse w ur teammate, I never thought abt it that way bc to me, 2k is basketball and basketball only. there shouldnt be any fluff like that and it should focus only on basketball gameplay and presentation, although I get what ur saying and how it could be fun, like it could definitely elevate a game to 10/10 status like NBA 2k10
Nicely done. Last 2K I played was 2k23 for pc. Not really a console gamer, since I have a $2000 pc but it seems like a decent game. I think I'm gonna get it, it's on sale right now for $39.99 on steam so yeah. Maybe we'll run into each other one day and can play a game if they even allow crossplay.
I always like your reviews, but hearing about you purchasing and grinding 2k24 before picking up 2k25 is respectable. I'd subscribe to you twice if I could just for that alone
Fyi, you should extract and upload the video in 4K even if it's 1080p because UA-cam gives a higher bitrate at higher resolutions, making the video look better regardless of its actual resolution.
Honestly I create my player for mycareer then use MyNBA with the player lock feature to spam VC. It’s a lot more fun without having to constantly buy VC for the MyPlayer
not a bad idea....I wonder if I mess with all the attributes in myNBA to make everyone 99overalls, and then bump the difficulty up and 12min quarters if I can rake in VC
@@WildLionGames I usually make my own player for MyNBA and he’s usually between 90-99 OVR. My settings is 10 minute quarters, Pro difficulty (it’s what I’m used to), and all the players are stock attributes and tendencies. That’s how I get my VC for Mycareer. I also get more freedom in terms of jerseys, money, and trades.
@@D1C-22 and that’s exactly why 2k will always win with micro transactions. It’s buy to win and it sucks for us players who like to grind and earn the vc.
What I did in nba 2k24 to add immersion is to draft myself accurately when I was 19 (2016-17) in the MyNBA mode, I play a couple games a season and go with historical accurate rosters (time consuming) nba champs/mvp/dpoy/roty, then i fast forward to 23-24/ 24-25, and I act like the MyPlayer content is me in my current year
Just a note about you bringing up going further back in time for eras that will actually be harder because they're only losing the rights to image and likeness with retired players. They don't even have Bill Russell anymore
same. I was just playing FC25 and I hopped in career mode and could just play. and I was good enough to actually contribute right away and since there arent any microtransactions I could play in the 5v5 mode online and be competitive day one
In retrospect, we got to ball in HS, college and to the pros. Albeit I wished the story wasn't tied to our rookie year by only doing select games but it was better than 2k15 and 2k17 with that orange juice story lol. 2k16 had the best and went downhill now we get flash back games lmao
great review, i love your honesty unlike a lot of these repeat 2k onliners. Is it worth it at a 20-25$ price mark? I loved mycareer during 2k18-2k19 and havent played since. No online for me on PC.
It’s still not worth it. I jus got it from amazon and bout to return it. The micro transactions are too predatory and the shooting is terrible jus like last year.
In general, the game is good, but it feels like they didn't go a little further with their investment in the game modes & gameplay to make the game great
All I play is online versus, and they literally ruined online versus play now. Just wasted 70 bucks. I never complain about new 2k releases, played every single one since 2k11. I’m so mad. Tk
It's lamentable that MyPlayer has become the "heart and soul" of this game. I'm not at all interested in an NBA version of the Sims. I Just want to play a very authentic franchise mode. Eras was a step in the right direction. But with all of 2K's focus on MyPlayer, that mode is never truly going to see its maximum potential materialize... and that is just so frustratingly disappointing.
Im late watching this video but is there side quests and stuff like 2k23?? I had to quit playing just because I had to do a list of stuff before I could play the next game
The speed still breaks. EA hasn't been able to fix this. U play a few games and the speed is slow. Then for no reason, the speed break and the game become really fast. ACE substitution still sucks as cpu will only sub a few times in the whole game. Even when starters are tired, cpu won't sub them and they play the whole game. Wth
Agreed playing on rookie/ pro is annoying just to pass some ish the average user could maybe squeak a objective complete on superstar because of micro transactions
I heard from another Tuber that the only thing they improved was the ACTUAL basketball gameplay.... Which if correct all they did was triple down on the VC... Psa'.... THEY WOULD NOT EMPHASIZE THE GAMBLING PART OF IT IF Y'ALL STOP BUYING IT YEAR AFTER DAMN YEAR!!!! don't complain about it Cuz Y'all are a part of the problem.... Lol
2k25 PC has Denuvo. It'll destroy ur SSD. Never put anything with Denuvo on ur system. It continually writes information as an "anti-cheat" but really just shortens the life of your solid state drive by running it nonstop with checks that serve no actual ingame purpose.
I never played a 2k game. And even longer have I played a basketball game at all. But after jumping down the Larry Bird rabbit hole (lol never knew he was such a big trash talker) and now watching Caitlin Clark tear it up in college and now the W, I've really been following both the NBA and the W this year. How good is the Bird/Magic era? Like you can play on the Celtics with Bird? Or enforce the "Jordan Rules" with the bad boy Pistons as a full season? And can you play a sidekick to Caitlin Clark in the W? How full of a game is the W? Thanks. Looks like a good game, I'm just weary because of all the microtransactions you constantly see in 2k games. Good review though man, answered most of my previous questions i've had about the game. It does look fun with plenty to do in it
yo yo. thanks for watching and yeah sorry I didn't get into the WNBA part during the review and I should have. I did play it. and I actually enjoyed it, to answer your questions yes you can create yourself as a sidekick to Caitlin Clark in the W. I actually tried to make myself a Klay Thompson type of player and create that deep threat duo like the Warriors. and the myCareer in the WNBA is great. creating your player is a bit more streamlined (which I personally liked) and I still got to answer interview questions that effect my team chemistry and fans etc. I've only played a few games but its fun and since its not tied to online you actually start off as a pretty decent overall rating. the Magic and Larry bird era is fun. you start in the 1983/84 season. so you miss Larry Bird's RoY and first championship and Magic's first 2 championships. but you're in that era for the prime of their careers. and Michael Jordan is in the very first draft class you approach, so I basically changed the draft rules and tanked the Nuggets so I could draft him lol and I actually traded away some players for draft picks from teams I knew wouldn't be good and was able to snag John Stockton as well haha. but you can play as the Celtics if you want with Larry Bird. I haven't played the franchise mode aspect of the WNBA so I can't answer that, but career mode is great.
bought it for 60usd. would ibuy it yeah but for 5 to 10usd price point. although the game is ok to me theres still no unique features like nba live 07 with superstar triggers. its really hard to score on this game even on rookie mode. the AI on this game will always find to cheat and win. you cant even perform steal and block with fouling them 10/10 even if you make defensive awareness and help defense to 100 your teammates doesnt really help to defend. you cant touch the computer. tried editing game settings reduce and adjust defensive and foul ratings but again this game would find a way to make it hard for you to make a shot, block, steal and win. the chances of people learning shot meter is 10/100. dont even bother playing with celtics tatum brown porzingiz is on 100% 3pt accuracy they never missed
I don't even play My Player, I stick to MyNBA Francise mode. When this whole My Player deal started how-ever long ago that was, as soon as I saw there was no option to control the other players on the floor I was out. Yes it's called my player so you only worry about your guy BUT what if I want to cheat it & make damn sure my dude is a superstar right away. Everything else outside of your NBA games can stay the same, I just want to control that aspect of it that's all...
hmmmm. idk man thats tough cause I haven't played black ops 6 yet. I wanna say 2k25. but thats only because I dont really like what I've seen from the multiplayer content in black ops 6.
@@WildLionGames yeah. My gf wants to buy one and idk which to pick I’m not really a heavy gamer. I mainly only play dynasty and online versus, no myplayer my park or my team. And same with black ops I only really play zombies and team deathmatch. So idk but I’m leaning towards 2k rn
@kennyharmon1836 idk what she's into but the wnba mode is pretty good in 2k25. It has a full franchise mode and even career mode, and since career mode isn't tied to online you start off with a decent overall rating. But of you're looking for something to play together I guess black ops cause I assume you can do co op for zombies
I have 2K25 but so far I have only played the WNBA & compared to 2K24, it's worse. I felt like the gameplay of 24 was better and for damn sure I was able to do a better job with my created female player. Hopefully the men's side will be better...
I actually found the WNBA myplayer career mode to be way more streamlined and a bit more enjoyable honestly. like maybe its just me but the whole "builds" in myplayer has gotten too much. there's so much bloat in creating your player now because they're trying to justify you buying VC
@@WildLionGames Yeah, another reason why I don't even bother with that feature... The game cost enough already as it is... Next time you go to Central Park, take the mic & camera and ask some folks if they play the game & what they think of it...
i want good interactions in career mode. not meaningless ones. AND I want it to be optional. like there shouldn't be a penalty for zero interactions, but if you want a short-term boost, than it can benefit you. I dont wanna be forced into interactions and cutscenes but rather just have it coded into the game. the same way in franchise setup you can choose to manage rosters and staff and scouting prospects or have the CPU handle it. kinda like that
This game is so bad like I can’t snatch back they keep going forward have not control of players 😭 to many animations can’t hit the corner makes u take angles
I don’t agree with the jersey physics. Check the 2k14 jersey physics. The 2K25 short shorts looks boxy plain & straight. In Kobe era. Players wearing fitted modern jersey and its not accurate especially kobe 😂
yes. lol. look even though this game is littered with microtransactions. the gameplay, the presentation, the depth in franchise mode...all of it blows Madden out the water
The look of 2K is ready for a MASSIVE overhaul. Body types for players are still inaccurate, still white/black for home/away when the NBA has moved away, Christmas Day feels blah, hair styles and facial hair need new options, shoes have been the same for years with minor updates( same color ways or lack of colorways) GET RID OF 2K shoes, it just speaks to the laziness of the coding for the past damn near 20 years smh
Yeah the hairstyles need an update. I didn't think I'd be looking at the same hair options for this long. Better than madden but that's not really a high bar haha
On sale for like 30 now but still not buying it's garbage this year as a franchise guy my NBA is good but nothing changed exactly the same I used to love my GM but it's a joke this year same dialogue over and over First 2k in a long ass time I skipped even on sale I'm not buying this year I'm good
@@PBMdanya i’ve been gone for hours, but that comment keeps bringing me back to you guys every time you say something. The game is awesome. You guys can all hate together and play 2K19.
Lmao then don’t. The guy even bought 2k24 for no other reason outside of this video to add additional perspective/value. No one is forcing you to watch anyone’s content. He clearly took the time, effort, and money to create this video and provide feedback for those of us who play this game very casually, so I can appreciate that.
easy pass for me.. myplayer is where i spend 90% of my time "the last couple 2ks have been shit or hit or miss" i didnt buy 2k22 i used microsoft points i had saved up on 2k23 "so i didnt waste real money" i finally got the series x looked foward to all the new graphics gameplay in game inclusions ect "that were only on new gens" so i decided to get the $120 2k24 bundle and still ended up dropping like another $80 just to get to a level 89 ovr when other 2ks i wouldve been atleast 95 asap lol.... i stopped playing 2months after release and havent touched since, lessons were learned so im def skipping this scam this year
Yeah if you're a myplayer guy then it's the same shit. I don't think it's worth it. And honestly if you have 2k24 and play nba eras then you don't need 2k25. I love steph but that's not enough of an additional era for mynba to warrant a full price purchase
@@WildLionGames honestly bro if i wasnt in myplayer thats the only other thing i messed with even if i did a season its always the classic eras. i do that for nostalgia really cause it takes me back to the earliar 2k days "before they went to shit and became a $ grabber" lol plus some of the teams were pretty stacked and somewhat balanced rating wise, the new 2ks the ratings are terrible same with madden
ill be buying undisputed instead...2k faithfully goes on sale for p5 blacc friday for 35$ ill get it then 🤌🏽 the minor upgrades dont EVER warrent it to be purchased full priced
@@WildLionGames hell yea facts and i dont think they use micro to make your created boxer better you actually have to grind him up then go online which makes it all the better
If my analogy wasn't clear at the end of the video during my verdict.
you can still have a lot of fun in this game outside of myCareer for zero extra cost.

I'm not buying this sht.
As an offline enjoyer and I stay away from the online aspect of it apart from playing with friends on play now, this is a W for me.
Can you get to level 40 on the pass for playing mycareer?
@@bankskrilla im not sure. I'm not intterested in playing mycareer. perhaps without buying, it'll be a grind for sure.
level 40 skill for passing? yeah I think my passing is at 71? and I haven't bought any VC
it's def a grind. I'm estimating based on how much VC I earn per game it would take me 2 seasons to get to an 85 overall. I think what I'm gonna do is contue playing myNBA, and just stack up VC in there and then head over to myCareer and continue playing that.
lmao that Chapelle clip was comedic gold lol

hmmmm. idk man thats tough cause I haven't played black ops 6 yet. I wanna say 2k25. but thats only because I dont really like what I've seen from the multiplayer content in black ops 6.
@@WildLionGames yeah. My gf wants to buy one and idk which to pick I’m not really a heavy gamer. I mainly only play dynasty and online versus, no myplayer my park or my team. And same with black ops I only really play zombies and team deathmatch. So idk but I’m leaning towards 2k rn
@kennyharmon1836 idk what she's into but the wnba mode is pretty good in 2k25. It has a full franchise mode and even career mode, and since career mode isn't tied to online you start off with a decent overall rating.
But of you're looking for something to play together I guess black ops cause I assume you can do co op for zombies
Get bo6 better than this trash game
I have 2K25 but so far I have only played the WNBA & compared to 2K24, it's worse. I felt like the gameplay of 24 was better and for damn sure I was able to do a better job with my created female player. Hopefully the men's side will be better...
I actually found the WNBA myplayer career mode to be way more streamlined and a bit more enjoyable honestly. like maybe its just me but the whole "builds" in myplayer has gotten too much. there's so much bloat in creating your player now because they're trying to justify you buying VC
@@WildLionGames Yeah, another reason why I don't even bother with that feature... The game cost enough already as it is... Next time you go to Central Park, take the mic & camera and ask some folks if they play the game & what they think of it...
Bro we do not need to interact w all that bs that’s what we been complaining about 😂
i want good interactions in career mode. not meaningless ones. AND I want it to be optional. like there shouldn't be a penalty for zero interactions, but if you want a short-term boost, than it can benefit you. I dont wanna be forced into interactions and cutscenes but rather just have it coded into the game. the same way in franchise setup you can choose to manage rosters and staff and scouting prospects or have the CPU handle it. kinda like that
This game is so bad like I can’t snatch back they keep going forward have not control of players 😭 to many animations can’t hit the corner makes u take angles
Lol. How do you play a regular nba season? With your favorite team...
Like just a season mode type of deal? You can do myNBA lite. Which removes all the management and trading and scouting etc and you just play games
what do you mean watching college football all day saturday? you posted this review till friday night lmao
the previous saturday lol
I bought the all star edition on pc only to play as caitlin clark
its low key fun to play as her and pull up and shoot three's
@@WildLionGames are you a caitlin clark hater or something
@@nickforest7816 huh? haha hell no I like caitlin clark. even got me a shirt
Can you play may career 2k25 offline?
Dedication
You didn’t go to the right place if you got 2k24 for $40. I’ve seen it at $10-20 for months
I was pretty limited with my options unfortunately. The only store I could find in a 20 mile radius that wasn't selling it for full price
@@WildLionGamesAre you in the US? Why not just order online then (eBay, Amazon, etc.). If you’re in the US shipping would have been quick too.
@superbiaant yeah I'm in nyc lol but amazon wouldn't have gotten here in time so I had to bite the bullet
You a Nuggets fan?
big time Nuggets fan. you?
@@WildLionGames yessir! 💪🏽 just subbed to ya haha
The in season tournament was in 2k24
FIBA my bad
Jokic looked like a PG. lmao
yeah they did the 3x MVP dirty
I don’t agree with the jersey physics. Check the 2k14 jersey physics. The 2K25 short shorts looks boxy plain & straight. In Kobe era. Players wearing fitted modern jersey and its not accurate especially kobe 😂
Same game. Don't waste your money
But worse 😂
Like I only play offline and because of the mods that bring more life to the game.
2k has the worst all star break ever smh
lol 😂. Madden will like to have a word with you
The micro transactions have gotten out of hand. Especially who the game is already $70 now.
It’s crazy.
Do anybody still what 2k to do nfl football now
yes. lol. look even though this game is littered with microtransactions. the gameplay, the presentation, the depth in franchise mode...all of it blows Madden out the water
If idiots wouldn’t buy the VC, they would probably stop, but unfortunately, I don’t see that happening.
honestly yeah. if dudes stop spending $100's on their myplayer too look fresh in the park then 2k would stop.
You sound like clique lowkey
I bought it and deleted it I wasted money
#FireRonnie2k
I’ll stick with 2k23
The look of 2K is ready for a MASSIVE overhaul. Body types for players are still inaccurate, still white/black for home/away when the NBA has moved away, Christmas Day feels blah, hair styles and facial hair need new options, shoes have been the same for years with minor updates( same color ways or lack of colorways) GET RID OF 2K shoes, it just speaks to the laziness of the coding for the past damn near 20 years smh
Yeah the hairstyles need an update. I didn't think I'd be looking at the same hair options for this long.
Better than madden but that's not really a high bar haha
16 hours isn’t enough. Every time I give a smaller UA-camr a chance they give me a reason to stick to what I know.
I think 16 hours is plenty of time to get to know a sports game in and out
@@WildLionGamesif u didn't noticed the speed break then u haven't put in enough hours.
2k25 fell off for me pay to play absolute joke 😂
2k25 is nothing more than a roster update! Complete trash! Imagine paying 70+ dollars on a ROSTER.. UPDATE!!!
On sale for like 30 now but still not buying it's garbage this year as a franchise guy my NBA is good but nothing changed exactly the same
I used to love my GM but it's a joke this year same dialogue over and over
First 2k in a long ass time I skipped even on sale I'm not buying this year I'm good
U definitely missed out on 2k12
yeah I heard its the goat. I have a retro gamestore nearby and my name is on a "call" list if they ever have a copy come in
@@WildLionGames yes the black and white old school games you will love that
2k11 was the best you missed out
I’m not even gonna watch a review from a guy who played 24 for less than 48 hours before trying to give an opinion on 25
Okay
I mean dude didn't ask you to. Obviously making a review from a casual players perspective for casual players
Then go lol
@@PBMdanya i’ve been gone for hours, but that comment keeps bringing me back to you guys every time you say something. The game is awesome. You guys can all hate together and play 2K19.
Lmao then don’t. The guy even bought 2k24 for no other reason outside of this video to add additional perspective/value. No one is forcing you to watch anyone’s content. He clearly took the time, effort, and money to create this video and provide feedback for those of us who play this game very casually, so I can appreciate that.
2k24s shot system sucked, so there’s no way I’m buying 2k25.
I hate the shot system in 2k25. I dont care what everyone else is saying the shot meter is inconsistent
Black Friday 25$
easy pass for me.. myplayer is where i spend 90% of my time "the last couple 2ks have been shit or hit or miss" i didnt buy 2k22 i used microsoft points i had saved up on 2k23 "so i didnt waste real money" i finally got the series x looked foward to all the new graphics gameplay in game inclusions ect "that were only on new gens" so i decided to get the $120 2k24 bundle and still ended up dropping like another $80 just to get to a level 89 ovr when other 2ks i wouldve been atleast 95 asap lol.... i stopped playing 2months after release and havent touched since, lessons were learned so im def skipping this scam this year
Yeah if you're a myplayer guy then it's the same shit. I don't think it's worth it.
And honestly if you have 2k24 and play nba eras then you don't need 2k25. I love steph but that's not enough of an additional era for mynba to warrant a full price purchase
@@WildLionGames honestly bro if i wasnt in myplayer thats the only other thing i messed with even if i did a season its always the classic eras. i do that for nostalgia really cause it takes me back to the earliar 2k days "before they went to shit and became a $ grabber" lol plus some of the teams were pretty stacked and somewhat balanced rating wise, the new 2ks the ratings are terrible same with madden
Wild lion it's just underwhelming
Same ish, different year, same 🤡
I uninstalled because i got tired of the ben simmons shooting simulation, scoring more points against other humans and computers got boring.
Save your money. This shit is dookie.
Bro if you haven’t played ANY game you’ve reviewed your entire channel is invalid lmao. What are we doing here?
Im confused by your comment? I play all the games I review
ill be buying undisputed instead...2k faithfully goes on sale for p5 blacc friday for 35$ ill get it then 🤌🏽 the minor upgrades dont EVER warrent it to be purchased full priced
Agreed. Especially if you already own 2k24. If you're coming from 2k22 or earlier than sure.
I wanna get Undisputed, looks dope
@@WildLionGames hell yea facts and i dont think they use micro to make your created boxer better you actually have to grind him up then go online which makes it all the better
Wait along bud let us know your thought in a few months. If we’re still alive 🤔
Even on sale don't buy this year not worth it
First 2k in a really long time I skipped this year
