Is the last image a PC mod or from NBA Live?

Everything sounds nice. I still play 2K24 almost daily so any improvement on that is just icing. I just hope that 2K25 allows us offliners to throw alley-oops again without that meter. I may be an idiot or just suck but that one change has killed that aspect of the game for me because it’s too risky. Make it dependent on badges for the passer and finisher but please give us that option back. I am thinking about doing a Spurs rebuild and man it be great to utilize CP3 and Wemby in the two man game.

Sorry to beat a dead horse and to come off as negative, but all these little art issues like head sizes/player proportions, jersey colors, court and arena inaccuracy, etc are areas of the game 2K should be tweaking yearly. I'm not expecting perfection and 100% accuracy, but at least an attempt to fix these problems.

There's a thread all about the amazing little things in the game, my favorite thread to go through each year, and when you think of some of the things they have in this game, it just makes these mistakes stand out more. If they can get animations from real games then there has to be a way for them to get more accurate courts, jersey colors, player bodies and proportions, etc. It just seems like visuals and art get the least attention out of every aspect of the game.

To offset the negativity, I am feeling optimistic about the gameplay reveal. Nearly every aspect of the gameplay got attention and a second year of Pro Play should add a lot. The graphics look slightly better and closer to 2k23 (I'll take any improvement we can get). I'm a little overwhelmed with some of the options when it comes to shooting but I'll mess around and read tips on here to figure out what works best for me.

Which is funny because 2K25 looks far better IMO between those two pics.

Look at the 2K21 gameplay and tell me 2K25 still looks better outside of colors and brightness...

Check out these screenshots for size comparisons. Everything actually looks pretty on point. I've asked Mike Wang and Czar on twitter if they scaled things to be more accurate and true to life, or if they adjusted things based preference (not based on accuracy or true to life). I didn't get an answer but I guess I should expect that since they would be giving away company secrets. But we've also been told for years that the scaling was accurate so I'm not sure what changed?

In the screenshots compare the sizing of Braun in the corner, Holmgren and Jokic. Looks pretty accurate.

I dunno. I definitely don’t feel the new one captures the Ball stand atmosphere. I don’t know if it’s better or worse, but I do know it’s not quite there.

Also I’m gonna be a pessimist and assume Mike’s lack of answer + previous touting the scaling as accurate in older games means players won’t be accurately scaled and just shrunk to band aid a fix to create more spacing. Hopefully I’m wrong there.

It’s tough to tell here.

I would love a pic of 2K23 to compare as well as the court is less “yellow” than 21 I think.

Here's a 2k23 picture. Still significantly better than 2K25/2K24, and close to 2K21.

Agree. It would be nice to know if it was fixed to be more accurate, meaning it was inaccurate before in all prior games or if this is just some sort of visual fix. I've tried laying the images on top of each other in my editing apps and it looks pretty accurate to real life so I'm curious what the issue was in previous years. Because the player models themselves haven't changed.

Going to be tough for teams to continue to use a “play two” strategy in 5’s

It was already a bit tougher with the minor adjustments this year but you can visually see the difference now. Going to be interesting.

Looks like some great improvements. I'm wondering how much has it changed gameplay for the better, I hope or will users end up playing the game how they've always played it on both sides of the ball. Some things are probably still to be added via patches, but I think this is gonna be better. Probably die down just like every year after all the videos drop and ppl are 5 builds deep. Still waiting to see someone who plays like this **** basketball evo. Clean with everythang!
I saw someone wish lunge steals in the wish list section.
It'd be dope to see tap passes added too.

Yeah it’s hard to say. In my eyes the 25 looks artificially scaled down and maybe inaccurate. Is it me or does Tatum seem shrunken in this 25 pic. Could be cause it’s next to the 24 pic.

One thing clear is his body model is NOT better. Every year people say “body models look better” when we have to accept that body models haven’t been touched since 2K18.

My god, yes please.

To this day I don't know what I'm doing on lobs and why. I arbitrarily press a button when I think maybe I should and sometimes I complete the lob, sometimes not. I just want the option to go back to being normal. Also, that meter is crazy unsightly.

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

It's personal with me this year. I'm looking forward to this game regardless because of Reed Sheppard. He's from my area. Not many from this area make it big, let alone go 3rd in the NBA Draft.

Yea I feel this cuz my cousin is Paolo Banchero, so I hadn't played NBA game in awhile but when he got drafted I had to get the game just to play as him

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

Its this for me:
"AI gameplay has been improved across all platforms to play a more complementary role with updates to Court Spacing, Offense, Defense, Coaching, and the AI Difficulty"

Hopefully this means a significant improvement to coach gameplans

I still can't believe 2k skipping presentations & Atmosphere this generation
Basketball is the most atmosphere centric in sports because your front in center close to the fans performing
But karma already arrived to humble 2k
Word on the street 2k pre order numbers looking weird
Not hitting a target number that's why they added Early access at the last min and even that is messed up they should of been brought back early access🤷
