That may sound daunting but the introduction of Learn2k provides players with the tools they need to learn the basics of the game.
But NBA 2K25 is more than just a game; it’s a community. The developers have listened to feedback from fans and have implemented numerous changes and improvements based on their suggestions.
In an exclusive interview, Ronnie Singh (better known as Ronnie 2K), Digital Marketing Director, discussed the new features and improvements in NBA 2K25. ‘I think every mode has something that we can hang our hats on this year.
‘It’s really exciting. Gameplay, obviously, is where it starts. The risk reward system is something I’ve talked a lot about because I just think it’s walking that balance of giving our experienced players some reward for really being good, but also allowing our newer players or casual players to have the opportunity to be part of this community, as well as if they use Learn2k and things like that.’
He continued, ‘There’s also the Auction House returning and Rivet City and being able to play NBA players on in MyTeam, I mean, you can go on and on. There’s something for everyone that loves different modes of 2K.’
Singh was speaking at the annual Community Day, which offers creators from across the globe the opportunity to get a hands on experience of the game prior to release.
With its realistic gameplay, impressive roster, and innovative features, it is sure to delight basketball fans of all ages.
