News Tag: NBA 2K25 MT Coins

For a long period, Point Guard serves as one of the most important positions in basketball, and NBA 2K25 also features this and gives much emphasis to it. Point Guard primarily refers to the player who controls the team on offense, whose primary job mainly includes to bring the ball to the court, and set up the match the team would like to play and ensure it has been normally executed.

Although sometimes cover roles are required to shoot the ball at a decent speed, the core job comes to lead the team and attack as needed. Point Guard has leadership and is vital throughout the game, and you can upgrade the performance of the designed Point Guard by spending some 2K25 MT Coins.

NBA 2K25 provides enough freedom for players to customize their players in MyCareer. If the players you design are strong enough, they have the opportunity to be chosen into the league and climb the ranks of stardom. It should be noted that not every player can get the same playing time, which is also a problem to be aware of when choosing a team.

This article will focus on the 5 teams that are most likely to make your players the focus after kicking off the journey of Point Guard journey through NBA.

5. Chicago Bulls

• Lonzo Ball will not make an appearance recently
• Plenty of playing time available as a starter
• Alleviate pressure of Zach Lavine

Chicago Bulls’ performance has been inconsistent. During the period that Lonzo Ball came to the team and established himself as an excellent point guard, Chicago Bulls has achieved excellent results. But it could not last for a long time because Ball had absent of a substantial number of seasons for his knee injury.

Therefore, at present, Chicago Bulls still indulge in a tricky situation that the entire team is missing specific playmaker who will elevate the rest of the team.

Although Zach Lavine is the current major force, but a true point guard will definitely enhance the level of team to next stage and alleviate the pressure of Zach Lavine. This is also an important way to become famous.

4. New Orleans Pelicans

• CJ McCollum is more an SG than a PG
• Easy to get dunks/alley with Zion
• Possible contenders with correct strategies

In the past few seasons, New Orleans Pelicans rely heavily on the strength of CJ McCollum to upgrade the performance of attacking. But it is not appropriate. And a fresh new Point Guard will be a fundamental change to push the team to a next level. New Orleans Pelicans has considered the significance of Point Guard, so it is much easier to slide into the role of point guard. Then McCollum will come back to his natural shooting guard role. That way, every player can do their job and give it their all.

3. Phoenix Suns

• Suns boasts three players that can score
• Truly one piece away from claiming victory
• Triple shooting threat creates more space to pass

Although Phoenix Suns boasts two fabulous players like Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, the entire team needs to be improved. Since the departure of Chris Paul, Suns haven’t had a proper facilitator to help them climb the next stage. You may mention Devin Booker, but the best role he serves appropriately comes to a Shooting Guard. Therefore, the position of Point Guard is still in desperate need.

Phoenix Suns will provide a good chance to help the player get a starting position. If he can run the game well, break the defense, and pass the ball to KD under the necessary circumstance, the point guard can be promoted quickly.

2. San Antonio Spurs

• Wembanyama has the paint locked down for you
• His athleticism means you can replace him easily
• Chris Paul will be a better bench player instead of a starter

While Spurs signing Chris Paul this previous offseason, it may not seem like Spurs need a new Point Guard and help Victor Wembanyama take that next step. However, Paul is getting older, and it comes the time for taking over.

1. Utah Jazz

• Markkanen needs someone to help him shoot
• After Conley’s departure, Jazz haven’t had consistency at PG
• Easy path to a starting role

Utah Jazz boasts a star like Lauri Markkanen and would love to complement an excellent playmaker to make a match with him.

Similar to the previous Bulls, Point Guard should make preparation for the incoming contention. Outstanding performance along with patience will help you make forward.

The above are the five teams that are most suitable for Point Guard to join. Players can design their own power forwards in the game and strive to include them in these strong teams as soon as possible. Thanks for reading.

Shooting Guard, also being titled as The Two, is typically seen as the fastest player on an NBA team. His primary responsibility is bringing the ball down the field, then assisting other players with shots or scoring directly himself.

Shooting Guard is an important part of the game. There are many factors to consider when building a Shooting Guard, including body settings, attributes, and so on. Players can build a satisfactory Shooting Guard according to their needs and preferences in MyPlayer, so as to maximize your offensive and defensive efforts.

This article is about the best Shooting Guard builds in NBA 2K25 for your reference. When tweaking the builds for Shooting Guard, heights, weights, and wingspan are the primary factors to consider.

1. Three-Point Badge King

• Height: 6’5″
• Weight: 225 lbs
• Wingspan: 6’8″

This build will give much emphasis on your three-point skills as well as a good channel for you to embrace mountains of potential Legend-level badges.

Roughly speaking, when using this build, players will own great odds to claim 13 legend-level badges, 13 HOF badges, and six Gold Badges. Moreover, this build will also promote the performance of solid interior defense (83), together with fabulous rebounding attributes.

But this build also has a shortcoming, which is, the speed is slightly reduced compared to other builds to exchange the tremendous improvement of strength. It may sound like a double-edged sword. As for how to choose, it depends on your actual needs.

But there is no doubt that this build is the first choice for most players, considering the factors of badges and the enhancement of the performance of shooting skills. Every team is in desperate need of having at least one superstar three-point shooter in today’s NBA.

Simply speaking, the enormous success of Warriors during their dynasty run was can be contributed to two superstar players who could make threes.

As for a Shooting Guard, unless you need extra defense to shore up the situation, this build strengthens your most overwhelming advantage to make you the best shooter. If you are desperate for dropping 40+ per game in MyCareer, this build will definitely meet your needs and help you claim victory in the match.

2. Defense Wins Championships

• Height: 6’6″
• Weight: 228 lbs
• Wingspan: 6’10”

If the value of shooting threes is not that significant to you, and defense is the first element that you want to consider in the first place, here lies the build for you.

This build will provide you a max interior defense of 87 together with good offensive and defensive rebounding attributes. In addition, 11 disparate possible Legend level badges, as well as 11 HOF and 8 Gold badges are available for you if you are determined to use this setup.

Like the first build, this one suffers from speed issues. What’s worse is that this build is pretty slow. A 93 max speed together with 84 speed with the ball makes you indulging in an obvious target for defenders to prevent you from scoring. This needs special attention.

If you end up choosing this build, you can also customize the wingspan freely to make a better shooter. Of course, you can also reduce the weight a little to increase the speed to alleviate this fatal default.

3. All-Around Baller

• Height: 6’3″
• Weight: 199 lbs
• Wingspan: 6’7″

To be honest, this build for Shooting Guard could not be counted as one of the best builds, but it definitely has the right to be applauded for its solidity and reliability.

Overall, this build will provide you 15 total Legend Level Badges, 7 HOF Badges, and 7 Gold Badges all together.

Compared to the previous two builds, this build is slightly faster, at the cost of sacrificing the performance of defense and lose the right to have access to some badges. Of course, some badges can also be unlocked by devoting some 2K25 MT Points.

Nevertheless, it’s still remains a huge attraction for some players. The superior speed advantage will make you feel you are flying on the court, which is very exciting.

The above is the sharing of the best Shooting Guard builds to employ in NBA 2K25. It is recommended to try more to find the most suitable version for yourself. The above three are just for reference. Players still need to try a few more times to develop the most suitable build for themselves. Thanks for reading.

NBA 2K enjoys great popularity among basketball game series, and the ratings of each player in it will change in the new season. These ratings are subjective and are determined by multiple people, so for players, the ratings of some players may not meet their expectations. Some players may be overrated, while others clearly deserve higher scores.

For NBA players, it is normal to have unstable performances. Almost every player has seasons of good or bad performances. However, subjective factors, such as the personal preferences of the raters and the reputation of the rated players, more or less affect the fairness of the ratings.

Every year will witness players that are underrated and this performance can not match the given score. This article will mainly introduce the five most overrated players in NBA 2K25 that will be released on September 6. Hope it can provide a reference for your future player selection. Especially for those popular players with potential, hope you can take them to your team by spending NBA 2K25 MT Coins early.

5. Ivica Zubac: 82

Ivica Zubac is undoubtably a powerful NBA player who has shown his true strength to Los Angeles Clippers throughout his career. He has never gotten the title of star players, but he has displayed his stable performance at both ends of the court. In the aspects of offense and defense, he even exhibits overwhelming strength that can match the level of elite.

Zubac recently won a three-year contract extension that will promise him $70 million over the next 4 years for his outstanding performance and stable play.

But Zubac’s weakness is also obvious, he is not eligible to be elite in any category consistently. He acts pretty well in some aspects, but can not being claimed as elite. He still has a long way to go, and there is still room for improvement for him to strive for. After all, there is still a gap between him and those elite players. But when making a comparison with other centers who own lower ratings, he has a similar or lower influence in some areas, yet is ranked higher. Maybe his real rating is around 80.

4. Damian Lillard: 89

Damian Lillard ended his first season in a Milwaukee Bucks uniform with the result of first-round exit after unfortunately getting injured. Although he was eliminated early, he still achieved pretty satisfying score.

From the relevant data, we can clearly see that in the 2023-24 season, his performance has declined significantly, with an average of 8 points less per game than the 2022-23 season, which represents one of the worst season expressions of his career.

Although Lillard’s performance has been very stable, but practically, he isn’t quite enough to get an 89 rating in NBA 2K25, because there are better point guards than him but with lower ratings.

3. Victor Wembanyama: 91

Victor Wembanyama served as one of the most impressive rookies with fabulous performance, and was referred to the future of NBA. He almost ended the season with absolute advantage and made significant progress, winning the long-anticipated award of “Rookie of the Year”.

But in terms of the actual number of games won, the result is not very satisfactory. After all, he only embraced 22 wins in this season, which was ranked the third-least number of victories in the history of their team.

They are a junior team with potential and prospects. He worked very hard and has always wanted to improve his level to a level close to that of a superstar. But as far as the current situation is concerned, considering various factors, his ranking is indeed a bit high, at least not higher than other experienced superstars like Ja Morant, Jimmy Butler and Paul George, who serves as the primary contributor for playoff teams. Considering the long-term career development plan, lowering his rating and ranking will bring much significance to his whole career.

2. Kyrie Irving: 92

Maybe with the blessing of excellent teammates like Luka Dončić, which reduces the pressure of team operations, Kyrie Irving’s shooting percentage hit a new high last season. But in the playoffs, Irving’s performance was obviously not stable.

It has brought the question that why Irving embraced such a high rating. There are several players with similar or higher performance but generally lower ratings. This may be attributed to his excellent performance in the previous season.

1. Jayson Tatum: 95

After fighting in Eastern Conference Finals more than five times, Jayson Tatum eventually become NBA champion. As the best player in Celtics, Tatum also became the highest-paid player in NBA considering the fact that he has led the entire team to win fabulous achievement for many times.

Although Jayson Tatum’s comprehensive data is high. But Celtics features introducing those talented players with high efficiency. Especially when compared with other players who received 95 overall, there are still some obvious gaps.

Maybe it’s because of his NBA championship title, together with the identity of cover athlete for the game alongside A’ja Wilson and Vince Carter, Jayson Tatum is also very popular, but such a high rating is indeed a bit undeserving of his reputation.

The above is about the five most overrated players in NBA 2K25. I hope it will help you to choose players in the future. Thanks for reading.

NBA 2K25, which many basketball fans are looking forward to, will be officially launched on September 6. Compared with some new game modes and changes, players are more looking forward to all the ratings of the players they can manipulate in the game.

Among all NBA teams, Lakers are undoubtedly the most popular among fans, because this team has cultivated numerous NBA legends and won NBA Championship many times. How are the players of this basketball royal family rated in NBA 2K25? This guide will introduce you to some star players with high ratings. If you don’t see your favorite player among them, don’t worry, you can use NBA 2K25 MT to invest and upgrade him more in the subsequent game process.

Magic Johnson

98 OVR

When you are asked to name the best player in History of Los Angeles Lakers, I believe it will be difficult for you to choose, because there is more than one best player. As I just said, this team has cultivated many legends and helped NBA become a league that basketball fans all over the world are celebrating. But in Lakers, one player that must be mentioned is Earvin Magic Johnson. This player with gorgeous passing and perfect passing methods has also won the title of Magician given to him by fans.

In NBA 2K25, besides the total score of 98 points, there are also 99 Intangibles, 98 Potential, 97 Playmaking, 93 Outside Scoring, 93 Athleticism, 87 Inside Scoring, 85 Defending and 82 Rebounding. These attributes also contributed to his total of 27 badges in the game, including 4 Hall of Fame badges, 21 Gold badges and 2 Silver badges.

Kobe Bryant

98 OVR

Speaking of the Lakers, another player that must be mentioned is Kobe Bryant, who has unfortunately passed away. His sword, hard work and super competitiveness on the court made many fans admire and love him. Although he is no longer on the court he loves, his contribution to Lakers and even NBA is indelible.

In NBA 2K25, although he did not get the highest rating of 99 points, many of his attributes are among the best among all players, such as 98 Potential, 93 Outside Scoring, 88 Playmaking, 87 Athleticism, 85 Intangibles, 83 Defending, 80 Inside Scoring, and 50 Rebounding. In addition, in this video game, Kobe Bryant has 34 badges, which are relatively high among all players. Among them, 8 are Hall of Fame badges, 20 are Gold badges, 5 are Silver badges, and the last one is Bronze badge.

Shaquille O’Neal

98 OVR

Although Shaquille O’Neal has played for different teams many times in his career, it is agreed that his most glorious period was during his time with Los Angeles Lakers.

Shaquille O’Neal joined the Lakers, which was not very good during his peak period, and used his excellent skills and tall stature to help the Lakers rebuild. The beginning of the new millennium is also the beginning of the purple and gold era of Lakers. His attributes are very balanced. Except for 59 Playmaking, the rest are about 80-90, such as 98 Rebounding, 98 Potential, 92 Inside Scoring, 91 Athleticism, 85 Defending. If you use NBA 2K25 MT Coins to get him, you will definitely win a lot of games with these attributes.

Shaquille O’Neal has 19 badges in NBA 2K25, including 11 Hall of Fame badges, 7 Gold badges, and 1 Silver badge.

Jerry West

97 OVR

Although Jerry West is not the highest-rated Lakers player in NBA 2K25, he has made it onto the official NBA logo with his own honors. The death of this football superstar has made many basketball fans of a certain age very sad, but fortunately, they can still see him on the court again in this virtual video game.

His excellent ability to organize offense has allowed him to score many very key goals in his career, and he is also nicknamed Mr. Key by many fans. However, among the various attributes presented in NBA 2K25, Rebounding and Inside Scoring are Jerry West’s weaknesses, and you can consider this aspect more when choosing a lineup.

Apart from these two, the rest of the attributes are very good, such as 99 Intangibles, 97 Potential, 94 Outside Scoring and 93 Playmaking. This is why he has 30 badges in the game. But unlike Kobe, he only has 3 Hall of Fame badges, the majority of which are Gold badges, with 25, and the remaining two are Silver badges.

Elgin Baylor

96 OVR

Although Elgin Baylor has never won a championship with Los Angeles Lakers, this does not affect his status as one of the greatest players in Lakers, because he has created the strongest scoring ability in the history of NBA. So even if he does not have a very outstanding honor, his total score has reached 96 points.

Not only that, all the attributes of Elgin Baylor are very balanced, even terrible, and have always remained above 80 points: 96 Potential, 95 Rebounding, 93 Outside Scoring, 92 Athleticism, 88 Inside Scoring, 86 Defending, 83 Intangibles and 81 Playmaking. This overly balanced attribute is not common in NBA 2K25.

Although he only has 22 badges in this game, I believe you can definitely maximize Elgin Baylor’s ability, and your team will definitely be more powerful with him.

LeBron James

96 OVR

In fact, there are both good and bad reviews for LeBron James, but it is undeniable that he is also one of the greatest players in the history of the Lakers. During his time with the club, the Lakers won a very important NBA championship, and LeBron James set a lot of NBA records, some of which have not been broken until now.

But even such a powerful player, his Rebounding is also a little flawed, with only 67 points in NBA 2K25. But don’t worry, his 96 Potential, 91 Athleticism, 89 Playmaking, 89 Inside Scoring and 85 Outside Scoring can temporarily ignore this defect.

This also indirectly led to him having 44 badges in NBA 2K25! Among these large number of badges, there are 4 Hall of Fame badges, 15 Gold badges, 13 Silver badges and 12 Bronze badges. Many players felt incredible after learning about the number of his badges, which was really a bit too average.

The above are the ratings of some Lakers basketball stars in NBA 2K25. I hope you can win more basketball games with their help and have fun in this brand new video game!

NBA 2K25 features significant engine and gameplay improvements that will further enhance the overall visuals and feel of the game. NBA 2K25 has overhauled several core game mechanics to enhance players’ tactical options on offense and defense. These additions are expected to make NBA 2K25 one of the best games in the series, satisfying the long-awaited expectations of some players.

Other gameplay improvements also make the game more accessible, these adjustments also fully demonstrate the uniqueness of NBA 2K25 and its difference from previous 2K titles. Next, we will provide a detailed introduction to the changes that will be introduced in NBA 2K25.

1. Expand On ProPLAY Animations

2K’s ProPLAY system, which has been adopted since NBA 2K24, allows 2K to record real NBA video and translate player movements into the game. In NBA 2K25, more than 9,000 ProPLAY animations are added, including 1,500 dribbling animations, 1,300 off-ball animations, and 1,100 signature shots for players, building on the achievements of the previous game. Imagine using NBA 2K25 MT Coins to unlock unique shots for your favorite players, giving you more tactical options and personalization in-game!

This massive addition of ProPLAY animations will make the experience even closer to watching an NBA game populated by your favorite players. Nearly every NBA player participating in 2023-2024 season will have their own unique shot for players to use in-game. These shots can be achieved through new dribble and shot combinations, and these signature shots are unique to each player and reflect the player’s current shooting style.

2. Introduce The First New Dribble Engine

NBA 2K series has used the same dribbling engine for 15 years since NBA 2K10. ProPLAY technology in NBA 2K25 will completely revolutionize the dribbling system. This improvement brings unprecedented realism and precision.

The new dribble engine not only improves the basic movements, but also introduces some novel offensive and defensive mechanics. Meanwhile, anticipatory defenders now have more tools to contain the ball handler, using the right stick to quickly change direction and stop the offense, provided they are as fast as their opponent.

3. Reworked Shooting

NBA 2K25 also introduces new shooting mechanics. To complement the new signature moves, a new feature is the ability to cancel a shot. When you realize that a shot may not be the best option, you can cancel the dribble shot in progress. With a simple flick of the right stick while preparing to shoot, players can convert the action to another move.

In response to some player feedback about the increased difficulty of shooting in NBA 2K24, NBA 2K25 introduces new shot timing profiles, allowing players to set their shooting style based on their personal preferences. In the settings menu, players can choose from a Shot Timing Profile to customize your shooting style.

The first profile is Real Player Percentage, which determines the success rate of a shot based on the player’s stats, giving players a way to shoot without precise timing. It is suitable for players who want to simplify their gameplay.

More advanced profiles may be more appealing to experienced players. On low setting for Shot Timing Profiles, a player’s shot timing is still not as critical as a player’s stats. Normal may be a good balance for players who have some confidence in their shot timing but don’t want to take too many risks. With a High rating on Shot Timing Profile, a shot is guaranteed to succeed only when the player shoots within a very small window of accuracy, providing a high-difficulty experience for players seeking a challenge.

NBA 2K25 offers a personalized shooting experience. This design makes shooting more accessible to novice players while also providing veteran players with the opportunity to significantly affect a game with their skills. The middle stages on Shot Timing Profiles are for players transitioning to more advanced skills.

In addition, NBA 2K25 introduces Pro-Stick Rhythm shooting. You need to pull the right stick to initiate the shooting action and keep the same rhythm as the player’s actual shooting during the shooting process. The closer the player’s rhythm is to the shooting rhythm of an actual player, the higher the success rate of the shot.

4. Change To AI And Court Sizes

A key change in NBA 2K25 is an improved system for AI players’ spacing. Now, AI players are better able to judge and move to the appropriate location based on the position on the court. In addition, NBA 2K25 provides players with more movement space by adjusting the size ratio of players to the court. These new changes bring exciting improvements to NBA 2K25.

Overall, these changes show the potential of NBA 2K25. These updates are commendable progress for both old players and newcomers. After the game is released on September 6, 2024, you can experience for yourself how these changes profoundly affect the game experience. If you are missing any items you want during the game, you can follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord and be more active in the discord group. There will be product giveaway information released from time to time. Don’t miss it!

NBA 2K25 is a game that allows players to control the top players in the league, whose rankings change every year. NBA 2K series of games uses a ranking system that rates each player in the league based on a series of different statistics and then comes up with an overall score to create an overall ranking or rating.

Now, with NBA 2K25 launching on all platforms on September 6, 2024, it’s time to check out and analyze the game’s official rankings. Here are the ten highest-rated players in NBA 2K25.

1. Nikola Jokić–98

Last year’s rating: 98

Nikola Jokić is the highest-rated player in 2K25. A back-to-back MVP star, Jokić surpassed other competitors in many offensive statistics last season. Both Inside and Outside Scoring, he received a high score of 91 points, which fully demonstrated Jokić’s elite skills. In addition, he also has a Close Shot Rating of 99, so his shots near the basket are almost always successful.

2. Joel Embiid–98

Last year’s rating: 96

Although Joel Embiid’s overall rating in NBA 2K25 is also 98, he ranks second in the official ranking of the game because Embiid has 9 fewer Badges than Jokic. These badges represent his specific skills and personal ratings in the game.

Embiid received a high rating of 93 in Inside Scoring. He is particularly good at hooking shots, with a Post Hook Rating of 97. Because of the recovery of his physical condition, Embiid’s rating has increased from 96 in the previous version to 98, so it is reasonable for him to be listed as a top player in NBA 2K25.

3. Luka Dončić–97

Last year’s rating: 95

Luka Dončić is the third-best player in NBA 2K25 with an overall rating of 97. Dončić’s overall playmaking in the game is rated 95. In particular, his Ball Handle rating is rated 98.

Therefore, players may need to accumulate a lot of NBA 2K25 MT Coins to maximize Dončić’s potential.

4. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander–97

Last year’s rating: 93

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led a team that lacked playoff experience to the second round of the playoffs last season. He is ranked fourth in 2K25. His Outside Scoring is rated at a high 94. His Close Shot is even better at 98. However, his Inside Scoring and Rebounding ratings are 77 and 58 respectively, which makes him need the support of the team to make up for the deficiencies in rebounding and other aspects. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s rating has an impressive and significant improvement compared to last year.

5. Giannis Antetokounmpo–97

Last year’s rating: 96

Giannis Antetokounmpo has received high ratings on both offense and defense, and is known as a Greek Freak. Although Antetokounmpo’s Inside and Outside Scoring are not as strong offensive threats as other top players, his performance on the defensive end makes up for it.

His Interior Defense rating is 90, making him a major threat on the court in this area. This completely breaks the tradition of the game where players with strong offensive capabilities will receive higher ratings, while defense is regarded as a secondary factor. He has a Stamina Rating of 98 in NBA 2K25, providing a stable performance for the team.

6. Kevin Durant–96

Last year’s rating: 96

Kevin Durant has always been a top player in the league. He is rated 96 in NBA 2K25. Although defense and rebounding are his weaknesses, his excellent scoring ability makes up for these shortcomings.

7. LeBron James–96

8. Jayson Tatum–96

Last year’s rating: 95

Jayson Tatum’s overall rating in NBA 2K25 is 96 points, which is the same as Kevin Durant and LeBron James. Boston Celtics’ forward has an outstanding performance in helping the team win its 18th championship, which has increased his in-game rating from 95 points last year to 96 points. Tatum’s most outstanding ability in the game is Outside Scoring, with an overall rating of 92 points, including his Mid-Range Shot rating of 97 points and Three-Point Shot rating of 87 points.

9. Stephen Curry–95

Last year’s rating: 96

Stephen Curry has a 95 rating in NBA 2K25, which ranks ninth in the game. Although Curry has weaknesses in defense (62), inside scoring (58), and rebounding (45), his Outside Scoring ability makes up for these deficiencies, with an Outside Scoring of 96. Especially in Three-Point Shot, Curry tops the game with a rating of 99.

10. Anthony Edwards–95

Last year’s rating: 88

Anthony Edwards is one player with great potential on this list. He has made the most progress among the top players. Edwards has an Outside Scoring rating of 92 and a Close Shot rating of 95. His Three-Point Shot rating of 86 shows that he is also a long-range threat that cannot be ignored.

As the new season unfolds, we look forward to seeing how these ratings are reflected in actual games.

NBA 2K series has caused some debatable content over the previous few entries. For example, the decision to remove Auction House in NBA 2K24 caused dissatisfaction among the majority of players and lost some potential players.

But surprisingly, in the upcoming NBA 2K25, the researchers have restored this function. It will be launched on September 6 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms, and players express their supportive attitude towards the return of Auction House feature.

Without this functionality, the pay-to-win mentality will embed deeply among players because developers will take control of the price of player cards completely. While this is just one of the updates coming to NBA 2K25, it is certainly the most important and most hyped.

Differ from Diablo 3’s Auction House which has invited a lot of venomous reviews by players, NBA 2K’s version remains widespread attraction among players and enjoys multitudes of loyal fans.
