“NBA 2K25 isn’t a basketball simulation; it’s a predatory psychological experiment designed to see exactly how much a fanbase will endure before they snap. After decades of dominance, 2K has stopped trying to innovate…”

“This game is garbage. Cheating is rampant, but they don't allow Linux or Virtual machines "because people might cheat" Not buying any more of these games until I can play on a system of my choice.”

“I've put a thousand hours into this game in 16 months. All of it on the same franchise save that I started in 1983 in the Bird/Magic era. Every game played singleplayer and offline. If you're like me and would rather stick your ding-dong in a pencil sharpener than play online…”
— a player, Steam review · 1,072 hrs played“People rightfully complain about the predatory monetisation but as long as you avoid the online trash you've got arguably the deepest franchise mode that sports gaming has ever offered here. The MyNBA Eras feature is so good, literally all of my playtime is in my custom team…”
