City by far is one of the worse additions of all time

One thing about the 2k devs is just lack of foresight. Like why do we have HOF badges but no HOF floor setter. The sportsmanship ban has got to be one of the dumbest ideas in the history of 2k also. There is no distinction between lagging out and quitting. We know any event causes 2k server instability. I’ve been reading about sports games in general and they all have their issues. It’s just the nature of a yearly cycle. Personally I’d be happy with every 2 years and we just get roster updates and minor changes in between new releases.

Badge Regression is STUPID!

Bruh it really dont matter what mike wang or 2k say , its still gonna be trash , they not goin back to how it used to be , same old game

will never understand why people still have hope for this game 😭😭😭

Buying 2k atp is insanity. We’re literally doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results lol

It don't matter anymore man, this ain't the game we once played, even down to the community. Gameplay could be a 10/10 and the community would ruin it by playing like they do

There should be a ready up button in all match making modes like rec and theater. We should also have the ability to adjust setting and buy boost in between games when we are waiting to ready up.

I ain't getting this game lmao. I'm done with 2k. It's just a money grab franchise now.

Archetypes could bring back role playing builds. The builder we have now got the worst players thinking they can do everything. Everyone plays the same. In 2k19 and 2k20 players actually knew their roles. Either way tho, 25 won’t be any good either.

LIKE FOR GTA 6

Screw 2k.

They not getting me for 2k25 fam. No more. Gonna have to see actual good gameplay after it comes out before I buy it.

I don’t care I’m still not getting it don’t even sound like a improvement 😂

NCAA will replace 2k

Same stuff different year man!

Why is there a badge regression in the first place , the most dumbest thing ever , i just feel like no matter if what shoot said or ja said is true or false all of it just sounds like the same old game , with 2k when i see the words improved and realistic automatically lies , hold the accountable and bring back real basketball

Ain’t gonna lie city looking like Luigi

Saying “there’s a lot of clickbait” then looking at the thumbnail is hilarious 😂”content creators” losing it

Haven’t played 2k24 inna minute, lowkey ain’t gonna buy 2k25 right away imma wait till it’s cheap lool

It’s going to be really hard for 2k to go back to the old builder they have to figure out how to make all attributes mean something

in honor of it being 2k25 they should allow us to choose through multiple builders, engines, bases and etc.

Me personally just take away the whole game we need nba live to make a revival 😂😂😂

I’ll play it when it’s free

Allcity loves to tear the game down and hype you up when 2k25 news come out. 2k got the whole community suffering stockholm syndrome

So it’s the same game? 🤣 yeah definitely not buying 25

I know that shit didn’t just say steals are buffed. 🙄

I’m not getting 2k25

If the builder is the same I'm finally done

Jesus more realistic means more stiffness

Same shit different year don’t believe anything 2k says other than more expensive micro transactions

Can they fix the broken shot meter 😂

I’ll just wait till 2k26 since they still working on pro play if 2K is good 2K 25 I’ll get it when it’s on sale 😂💯

These ain’t even rumors. These facts we already know that’s gone happen 😂

2k will never be the same. It’s too tactical in strategies dealing with outside of implementing a fun basketball game.

Seems like 2k24.5

The game just needs to go back a couple of years in general. Would be nice to have nostalgia in modern day 2k.

The devs figure the more info put into the community the more critiques to that info that will come from the community. Which for them will drive down sales. I'm pretty sure 2k sees and hears ALL of what the community says but they know that the overwhelming population will still spend money on the game out of pure optimism or for content creators , content. They could care less as long as money is spent.

Imagine making fake money cost more.... This is every year... 😂😂😂

The ball hog builds were archetype builds. Really y’all lol 😮

The thing about the city is its just not fun enough. Make the game easy to level up and to get our stuff. IN return, we will treat the game like we did in 2k17.

Neighborhood over city

Miss the Jordan rec with our park cloths they not even going to do that shit going to be trash

2k has a bunch of job listings for mo cap and animations so that would make sense for sure

We lowkey need the dual archetypes back from 18 & 19. It felt balanced in my opinion

man i had to replay the first 10 secs like 20 times thinking "yo is this foo good??" then i let it play and was like "ahh ight homie" LOL

He was getting me at tha beginning 😂😂 damn im slow

They baited MyTeam this year. Next year it’s gonna be a regular thing to spend hundreds of dollars chasing a card 🤦🏽‍♂️💀

I think that the whole park thing needs to be rethought. This mode needs to be better and more interesting for players. City is and was just a big mistake. What I personally miss is better development.

The problem with the CIty is that it's a pointless space and 2K hasn't decided to really use it for what it could be & with how stingy 2K is, they probably can't make the city what it was. One complaint I had is the constant need to run around the city daily collecting quests, one thing I thought would be cool is if you could eventually hire an assistant to do all the run around for you. Take some of the grindy run around away. Have it where you can buy different apartments on homes and build on those, where you can add your own gym so you don't constantly have to go to the gym, and you can upgrade equipment so getting 3 and 4 stars become easier per upgrade. See these are all RPG type elements and that's the direction 2K seemed to be going but then you can't really do that when you're greedy and a pair of shoes requires you to play like 10 full NBA games and get endorsements. Their greed and economy won't allow them to add fun stuff to the game to make the city a good addition. So yea I say scrap it. I don't think we're gonna get the game we deserve until the community stops buying the game and spending all this money on VC.

They should make mycareer like myera have your character get injured and you'll have to workout to get back to health or you can just simulate the nba games to get your back to 100% injuries won't effect you in the REC or any other game outside the NBA game

I'm not buying even on sale unless next gen comes to PC. I use PC for mods and my league and console for multiplayer. I'll be damned if I pay 100 per build to be a pie chart role player again

Badge regression is one of the worst features in the game. You can’t really switch a play style in game if needed because let’s say you need to rim run for a game or 2 you’d lose your shooting badges and vise versa. In my opinion I liked 2k22 badge load outs, if you’re playing 1s you could switch the badges same thing with 2s,3s,5s rec etc. but not this year it limits everyone’s ability to even play the game how we want to play it

These rumors sound like every NBA2K rumors since NBA2K 😂

I dont want archetypes back 🤷🏾‍♂️ I like the system as is now and the builds honestly arent the problem

I’ve heard triple archetypes is gonna be in 25. Hof and gold is 1st archetype. 2 is silver and 3rd is bronze badges. Heard this from a 2k league player

They would never put an actual demo… they would get flamed online if the game isn’t improved… the marketing team would rather just have hype from the content creators who played the game early to cap about how good their playing experience was.

NGL the only thing we want outside of gameplay and balance is SERVERS!!! Stop the lag, stop the timeouts/blue screens and if we’re keeping badge/stats/win/rep level then lag out or even dash boarding within the 1st quarter shouldn’t effect your stats, rep or win % .. we all have solid internet who play 2k strictly because 2k is the only consistent unplayable game . If they make that not a penalty because they recognize it’s a majority of their fault than most people would be able to play . But having a lag out take you from gold to silver etc or 20ppg to 13.5 ppg is just something the average player can’t afford .. boost the servers first. Especially if you’re keeping the city which inevitably makes the game run worse because of the high output of truly unnecessary assets . 2k should be simplified to gameplay . No one cares about looking good anymore like the old days because you can’t play your way into looks. You’re playing the game to play the game . But if it worked, a lot of people would still pay cosmetic money. But it doesn’t, so you’re forced to boost and boost and pray to the internet gods. SERVERS FIRST !!! Only option to sustain player base

I don’t have a problem with how builds are currently made. It’s the inconsistent thresholds each year. A 45 driving dunk is good enough for someone to get a consistent animation. I use a 45 standing dunk and get unfair animations all the time. You literally have a KZfaqr posting a video iso-ing with a 26 speed with ball. Other 2ks like 20, you could easily shoot with a 65 three ball. My point is that the thresholds for attributes needs to be higher to be impactful. That way, people will be forced to sacrifice (aka stop trying to make demigods and stick to a role).

Bro the intro is crazy never knew that was happening

Never go back to the archetypes. 2k inability to make more than 5 playable builds is nonexistent.

The sportsmanship ban HAS TO GO! All I play is random rec and I shouldn’t be penalized for leaving a game that’s already lost. If my team is shooting 2/13 and down 27 in the 1st quarter WHY DO I NEED TO SUFFER THROUGH ALL THAT?? Also the builder this year wasn’t the worst, but I’m tired of making role players. I think for balancing sake if every build is OP then nobody is OP, you know?! Lastly the intimidator badge needs to make a comeback. Ever since it was removed interior/perimeter contest have been damn near nonexistent. Side note: Stop giving all these KZfaqrs and pro-league players the keys to the game, they don’t represent the player base and they are not the majority. Sure they “bring in revenue” but they’re also the ones ruining the game so than it’s easier for them to win.

Badge regression needs to be eliminated…

one thing we should all know about 2k by now is that there is no going back

If 2k is going to get rid of the demo they need to have a better breakdown what badges actually do, what rating thresholds are needed for animations BEFORE the build is made, and stop hiding animations behind a rep that takes way too long to grind for casuals

U drank the Kool aid lol

i reaaaaaaaaaallly dont want to buy 2k25 but its a much cheaper option for getting the nba league pass. so I guess need to decide if i even want to watch nba this year, though hard to pass up on watching Luka play the nba like its rookie mode

😂😂😂Bro sarcasm is hilarious

2k Not Baiting Me This Yea Im Threw

It must have to do with their nba contract tbh. And their cable contracts is going crazy with the rumors circulating. Nba is in the wildest of times as a fan for 30 plus years. Btw calling it here first, the young and up and coming talent in the nba is bouta bring the fans back because street ball and showtime basketball is a live and well and is starting to be the new staple of American basketball

Why can’t we rejoin in rec after getting disconnected? This has been a huge issue for years. So if one of our guys controller dies before tipoff, we lose because there’s no rejoining.

So glad 2k let me down to the point of no return. Ive been playing REAL deal next gen rpg games. Stress gone, saving money, Not getting sold by friends and randoms. Man life’s good 😎 GGs 2k community try not to let them boys scam yall next release 😂✌🏾

I feel like you should have to give up something if you want a high steal especially with how cheesy it is. Why isn't steal rating connected to perimeter defense at all? Why can you make a build with a low perimeter but a 91+ steal?

I hope archetypes don't return

Badge regression is *THE DEVIL* 🤬

I dont care about nothing but the builder and the gameplay 2k23 builder was solid... And we havent had solid gameplay since 2k20

Yes to bringing back Demos in 2k25‼️ Definitely.. No to Archetypes' in '25. Keep the badge progression the same. Because if you utilize them then U should be good. I like it this way..more realistic. It helps make players be more unique in their game play.

I’m about to go with EA for the rest of the year between NCAA Football 25 and madden 25 and undisputed I won’t have time to play NBA 2k

Get rid of park delay or all delay if you know your jumper you shouldn’t have to change timing in Rec pro am park all different timing too

Like For those who will be playing EA College 25 instead of NBA 2k25

cant wait to spend my money on 2k25, i dont have the self respect to not buy it. see ya in the next 3 months

We on ncaa 25 2k sells dropping they go have to work on the game for next year WE DONT CARE

Adrenaline boost back but still won't stop locks from pressing steal 20 times per possession with no penalty

85 days till 2k25 🤷‍♂️‼️💯

Keep the builder the same archetypes is a step back

Get rid of adrenaline bars the dunk meter and make dribbling and defense more better

Also, I would like to add why not give each individual bill that you create the opportunity to join a separate affiliation 28 tenacity did not work great for my point guard. My rise up did not work great for my power forward vice versa. Give us some things that we want.

Having the old MyParks and MyTeam Auction House back 💯 .

They bouta put a cap on builds so you can’t get away with just one build . They not gone have builds that can dunk and shoot like Joe builds . 2k think they slick 😂

I had to rewind the intro cuz I thought I misunderstood 😂

Basically what they saying is we just getting 2K24 alil updated and remastered when they could of done these things for the current game ! 🤦🏽‍♂️😂😭☠️ #RIP2K25

Man I rewind the first 10 seconds, I’m like huh. Was confused as hell

2k gonna have a lot of competition...sparking zero, wukong, college football, etc...we should hold out and just buy 2K at discount. That way we really know what we are buying. 2K always switch the game up after release causing ppl to have to spend money on new builds

4:10 2k needs to drop a demo!!!! With the builder in it…. Sonething

Until I gameplay where defense is actually improved for example blocks and paint defense or just all around animations I’m tired of seeing bs go on because I got a bad animation defense and offense needs to be improved drastically we should have the option to build our player using actual NBA player templates similar to how our favorite nba player is in quick play legend should actually matter and give the people who grind It out plus 10 in every category perm boosts etc honestly I loved the 2k21 progression system for ex iron wall and others for leveling up and don’t get me wrong I like some things they did in 2k24 the putbacks being easier the right stick steals etc but there’s so much that needs work still and they need to fix online latency etc etc sorry for the essay lmao

Demo comes out every year and we pay 70 bucks every year for it

W, but there is about 5 other games I rather spent my time on tbh

badge regression shouldn't be a thing...

They need to understand, we play games for fun. Stop catering to people that game for a career.

So buying the same game again? I’ll pass
