Re: NBA 2K25 Gameplay Trailer and New Gameplay Enhancements Revealed

Glad to be making the switch to PC because this game does NOT look good visually.

Body types are still atrocious, face scans are still outdated, jerseys are still stiff, colors are still off, lighting still doesn’t come close to ‘14, and court reflections are still nonexistent.

It’s like they tripled down on being bad, graphically. Unbelievable.

PC modders are about to make this game shine.. I can't wait. I said it before and i'll say it again. PC is the only platform ill buy any sports game on with the exception of mlb the show.

I’m going to assume Anthony Edwards will not have a face scan or any pro play animations.

Of course. Also you see how they refused to show the face of LeBron.

We getting the exact same player model for the 6th straight year.

I saw some new face scans and the in-game (up close) lighting looks to be improved.

It is nice that they'll finally give the folks obsessed with graphics the PC option.

That would be an L if 2k doesn't allow you to use

This post has the stream schedule:

Pretty disappointing that they don't show more gameplay or examples of improvement areas (from 2K24 to 2K25).

I meant up close. The light reflecting off their skin and such.

Not court lighting which seems to be the same.

Before the stream there was a description of the 90 minute stream - was now barely an hour - and what it would cover. Guess that was fake...

I am really baffled that areas that are fine, some even great, continue to get attention when passing hasn't had any significant update since 2k inception almost.

I'm hyped that they added a new dribbling engine! Dribbling was my biggest issue with the game (see my Immersion Killing Dribbling Issue thread). I hope this finally fixes all of the dribbling issues (ball getting stuck in mid-air, dribble sequences not fully playing out, hitches, etc.) All of the other additions look nice too!

]Yeah, I was confused by that total. Was it 90 minutes each, though, or encompassing 90 minutes over all the streams.

Should've just given no info about the length of the streams. [emoji2365]

I completely agree, homie.

I wish they would work on fixing the little things and areas of neglect (like passing). Instead it feels like they are working on shooting and dribbling every year.

Unnecessary double post. My bad.

I also noticed some some updated art, but is not just the graphical side of the game that has my interest. Its by far the overall "NBA arena atmosphere' that I personally feel 2k lacks. Graphics im excited about finally coming to PC. But the arena vibe just still seems to be lacking. This is why I personally value the modding community to give realistic arena, courts, dornas, and etc.. It brings the game to life. Which is why i played 2k24 on pc last yr over my ps5 version which i personally only played about 2-3 months.

Also, if you want to know why they beat us over the head with microtransactions, then look no further than the idiots asking about MyTeam/MyCareer in the gameplay stream.

TBF, the stream started by about how people can earn My Team/My Career codes for participating in these Twitch Streams. I know the focus today was on gameplay, but marketing just seems to be aimed at the My Team/My Career crowd.

I can't believe how low key this reveal was. Some great information between the trailer and Court Side Report but I didn't get the sense they were trying to get the attention of all 2k players or sports fans. There wasn't even a mention of the stream on the main page of OS today but Madden dropping top ratings for each position was unmissable.

I always welcome more signatures and personality so that's cool. Of course, with my old school leanings, I wish there was somehow a way for them to tap into that with classic players too but I understand their ProPlay system does not really work that way.

This is neither here nor there but I was modestly entertained by how the Courtside Report was slapping down these giant quotes attributable to nobody throughout.

"THE DRIBBLE ENGINE IS THE MOST AMAZING UPGRADE WE'VE HAD TO OUR GAMEPLAY ENGINE IN 15 YEARS!"

"PRO STICK RHYTHM SHOOTING IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FEATURES OF THE GAME, BECAUSE IT'S A NEW WAY TO PLAY"

I mean this light-heartedly but it reads like propaganda, as though someone just plucked a sentence from thin air and decided to throw some quotes around it as a means of conditioning their audience. Unless that's a quote from the live stream or something, but even then, it should be attributed.

Moreover, wasn't ProPlay supposed to be the most amazing upgrade they've had to their gameplay engine in 15 years? And wasn't the "ground up" build of one of those next-gen transitions supposed to be? And the shot stick revolution? And the off-ball movement? And the AI?

Anyway, shot canceling just seems like their way of saying you're not stuck in a drawn out animation if you don't want to be, which is nice. I don't feel a compelling need to change the way I shoot, though I always welcome options (don't really even see a reason to try the down-then-up motion as it just seems to complicate something that worked well already, especially as someone who still often uses the shot button).

The rest of the features kind of fit for me under, "Eh, sounds pretty good in theory, but probably going to have to wait and see how they turn out."
