Randle should be higher.

Austin Reaves and Norman Powell inside the Top50 tied with Butler and Siakam is atrocious.

2K's overall rating formula is notoriously garbage.

I only play single player mode, and if I ever get this game, I spend like first 3 months redoing rosters first, because I do not think they know what they are doing. I also hate how high their ratings are, in my roster redo, very few players ever end up over 90, being in mid 80s I consider you elite player. I also do custom draftclasses etc if I play.

But that said, NBA 2k is basically a scam game, it works in MVP model, minimal viable product, and I would not recommend you buying it, leave it gambling addicts and idiots like me (that said, I didn't buy 25 and I doubt I will buy this, tho my 24 campign is getting stale and boring).

I just bought 2k25 for 8euros, worth it.

Yeah, I saw it goes on sale, STEAM sales are just the best in general, of you are on PC. But with sports games, I ca see myself bying like FIFA reight before new one comes out, just cause it gets dirt cheap, but I am not in Football that much, so I do not care if I get outdated roster.

That said, maybe picking 25 is worth it, cause if you on PC, you might heard of this guy named Shuajota, he is GOAT NBA 2k modder, and he just released roster update with all the new rookies and he handcrafter most cyberfaces for upcoming rookies.

The main reason to get 26 by now for me, is just the fact I would start my career on a right year, and I assume all the stats and everything are updated, but saying how 2k does not give a **** about single player modes, I wouldn;t be surprised if they do not even update stat database.

I play 24 version still on PC, and like most bugs that were in let say NBA 2k19, are just still there, not patcehd. Like player of the week just cuts off and you can;t see, coaches still wear freaking suit in my game, all the bugs are like 10 years laster across like 10 full priced yearly releases. It is 100% a scam game, they only care about casino modes.

All star game is emberassement, because they made ALl star draft version, where ''captains'' pick teams, but if you actually play or watch the game, most presentation, UI, uniforms, say it is WEST vs EAST, but it is actually not, and some presentation says it is not. they couldn't even do it right for one game, all star game, and its bene like that for years, its a scam, its absolutely embrerassing how they don't care.

Curry Lebron and AD too high..

25 is better than 24, certain bugs are not there anymore when you play single mode.

I know that 25 version was that nex gen version, right? They finally patcehd in In season tournament, cause in 24 version, it was still not there... and 24 PC version was just that old gen version of the game, similar to what EA does to FIFA on Switch.

Oh, I see. These sports game are still very broken, because some archetypes are just always OP as hell and it has been like that forever. It is like pace in FIFA games, it just beats everything else. Like in my career, I just won a championship, and I have 78 ovr super athletic center, but he just absolutely dominates. at this point, I am so good against the AI because thats all I do, I did everything to make it super hard with the sliders, and I mean it works, I won my first championship in 29 season, because I make it so unfair for myself, but when you figure out things, it just gets boring. because as I said, that center gets like more rebounds than he plays minutes, he gets 8 blocks per 36 minutes and I lowered sliders as much as I could at this point. And I have 70 ovr shooter, who is so good at shooting he is just cheese, and the fact he is 70 ovr, I sign him for like 2 mil a year. and there is a slider that makes actual player performance impact their value, but it does not really work, becuase that guy socres 20 ppg. for me and he signs for 2 million dollars and it is not like CPU would care for him in FA, he is 70 over, they do not care he is 20 ppg scorer in the NBA, just like me, they magically see his overall rating. My center will win MVP and DPOY and he is below 80 ovr, I will get him for like MLE, everything is sadly just broken.

Well, there is no difficulty in this game really, what set difficulty is, is just different slider variant. As I said, I play on custom sliders and they are way way harder than hardest difficulty would be, and thats not me bragging, but I have been playing AI so much, I just see numbers in a Matrix now I need unfair challenge to make it in any way interesting. But I think I have reached the point where I need new game, because I just went undefeated in the play offs.

Depsite how much I hate this game series, I have a problem, thats just what it is, and I might pick 2k26, hoping like an idiot that during 2 year span they made real improvements (they never really do tho)

Yes. Pc is good because there are different modding tools and you can modify your game. Like I put Becky Hammon in a game, I put some other coaches like Priogioni, Songaila, etc. and you can do other stuff.
