NBA 2K25 PC/Steam Early Tip-Off starts NOW

[zrohman]

If anyone plays this on a laptop, I would love to know how it runs on a non gaming laptop. I'm curious how the intel, Snapdragon, or amd laptops would run this.

Did they remove the shot feedback setting? I want to turn off the meter but can't seem to find shot feedback anymore

Yea this dribble system is pretty damn smooth. I'm just starting to learn and the possibilities are nasty lol

Ignore the graphical quality. Saved the recording with the NVIDIA overlay, edited with Clipchamp, and idk which is to blame but it makes the game look like crap.

Soundtrack as also exceptionally good this year imo. Been a long while since I enjoyed a 2K soundtrack

It's good, once you increase the team's "Help Defense" coaching slider. It seems like 75+ is where you'll want to set it, otherwise the help defense is lazy.

Not seeing much of a "help the helper" rotation/scramble system though. In most situations so far, the help comes from the corner defender, then the defender at the elbow slides down to cover between the corner and elbow. He does a good job of contesting both shooters, but there isn't a third defender involved to, in this example, cover the elbow shooter after the defender slides down toward the corner. He seems to be on his own.

Default sliders otherwise, and only a few quarters of gameplay (I've been playing a full 12 minute quarter, then switching teams to try out someone else while I learn the dribbling). The on-ball defense plays well but can get shook by the new dribbles. Help defense is well timed and puts up a good contest. Movement on both sides of the ball is nearly perfect if you raise Game Speed a little.

Overall early impression: Extremely satisfied. The AI is actually fun to play against, and very punishing on the fast break.

OK, you convinced me to get it early. Day off work and it drops at 1pm in the UK in 4 and half hours on xbox. Can't wait!
