Another year, another entry from the long-runningNBA 2Kbasketball sports simulation franchise.
For a while now, we havent seen major changes in the gameplay or graphics.
Only a few touch-ups here and there that result in more prominent facial structure and muscular definition.
However, the graphics have never been an issue, with decently rendered characters and matches.
The gameplay, on the other hand, can always use more work.
Well, lets break down all it’s possible for you to expect in theNBA 2K24vsNBA 2K25comparison guide below.
What is NBA 2K24?
NBA 2K24is a basketball sports simulation game developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Games.
What is NBA 2K25?
NBA 2K25is an upcoming basketball sports simulation game that will pick up whereNBA 2K24left off.
Itll be the 26th entry in theNBA 2kfranchise, set to launch on September 6, 2024.
Gameplay
MyCAREER, MyTEAM and MyNBA will return inNBA 2K25.
These have been long-running game modes that have held strong for years.
The most popular MyCAREER mode will still retain the same The City format.
Streetball, in particular, will return, along with its 3v3 matches against AI opponents.
Its a less formal mode where you explore different venues in the parks and streets of New York.
While the overall structure will remain the same,NBA 2K25will add new venues to explore.
Specifically, 2K Games promises a more compact and interactive city.
Its a feature that was introduced inNBA 2K23and will continue in the upcomingNBA 2K25.
Were looking forward to some new changes and quality-of-life improvements that reflect the rising popularity of the WNBA.
Graphics
One of the waysNBA 2K24innovated on graphics is through ProPLAY technology.
It allowed direct translation of real-life footage into matches, enhancing realism and authenticity.
Graphics-wise, the covers dont seem to have any major changes, save for better lighting.
So, we might be making our minds up about the graphics prematurely.
That said,NBA 2K25does have some new changes.
For the first time in the series, the PC version will be the newest gen. You could easily be waiting at the Park and Rec Center for forever before getting matches.
However, PC owners will at least enjoy mode parity with other next-gen platforms.
Other than that, there dont seem to be major jumps in gameplay or graphics.
Moreover,NBA 2K25promises to deliver a worthwhile experience that features historical and contemporary hoop culture.
Now, whether the tweaks and updates are enough to c’mon fans remains to be seen.
So, whats your take?
