Re: NBA 2K25 Impressions Thread (XBOX Series X/S, PS5, PC)

Absolutely loving the day-1 gameplay. No defensive sliding, contextual animations everywhere, brand new dribbling, AI offensive tendencies are fantastic, AI fast break is actually dangerous, fouls galore, tipped rebounds, shooting fouls on jump shots (both CPU and User), man I can't remember the last time we had so few glaring issues to try and solve via sliders.

The only “big” issue I’m having is with jump shots. Even using the new “Low Risk-Reward” shot timing profile (that is supposed to make timing matter very little, while ratings and shot quality and defensive pressure matter more) I miss basically every wide open shot unless I green time it. I’ve even dropped the Shot Timing Impact slider down to 15, same issue. I am playing on Hall of Fame, which likely is causing the problem, but since there are multiple timing profiles that emphasize timing AND a “difficulty related” profile as well, you’d think you could play any difficulty and have your chose timing profile work as intended.

Anyway, gameplay is fantastic, graphics (on PC anyway) are probably the best we’ve ever gotten from a basketball game before. 2K cooked this year.

Are you using current or legend players? If you’re using current players, can you report how the legends feel with their mocap compared to the propaply guys? And even better, if you can report how it feels to use all time teams between the legend and current players, to see if there’s a clear difference between animation quality.

Re: NBA 2K25 Impressions Thread (XBOX Series X/S, PS5, PC)

I know some people like it, but my first impression is that players just move way too slow. Everyone feels like they’re stuck in the mud and it creates this illusion of delay with the inputs.

Two games in and I’m already bored lol. I didn’t expect 2K to reinvent the wheel here but I don’t think this game is a day 1 purchase for me anymore
