NBA 2K25 is inching closer and closer, and the NBA 2K community can't wait for the new game to come out. All eyes are on NBA 2K25 and whether the game will be able to revitalize the franchise.
Players want to know what new features NBA 2K25 will introduce, if new game modes are coming, when will the game launch, who will grace the game's cover, and on which platforms it will be available, among many other things.
NBA 2K25 Release Date
We finally have an official release date for NBA 2K25, as the new title in the NBA 2K franchise releases on 6 September.
Every NBA 2K title since NBA 2K18 has been released in the first ten days of September, so it's natural to see NBA 2K25 follow that tradition. It's also worth noting that NBA 2K25 is already available for pre-order.
NBA 2K25 Cover Star
Jayson Tatum is the face of NBA 2K25, as the Boston Celtis superstar is the cover star of the NBA 2K25 Standart Edition.
A'ja Wilson will be gracing the cover of the NBA 2K25 WNBA Edition, which, just like last year's one, will only be available in North America at GameStop.
Both players will be featured on the cover of the NBA 2K25 All-Star Edition, making history as the first dual-league NBA 2K cover, hopefully, the first of many.
But that isn't all, as Future Hall of Famer, and NBA legend, Vince Carter, is the cover of the NBA 2K25 Hall of Fame Edition. This was a special moment for Carter, who said the following:
"Being named a cover athlete would have always been a special moment for me, but it is a particular honor to be on the cover of the NBA 2K25 Hall of Fame Edition"
NBA 2K25 Editions
NBA 2K25 will have four editions, Standard Edition, WNBA Edition, All-Star Edition, and Hall of Fame Edition.
The NBA 2K25 Standard Edition will cost £69.99 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, £59.99 for PC, and £49.99 for the Nintendo Switch.
The NBA 2K25 WNBA Edition will cost $69.99, but will only be available in North America, and can only be purchased at GameStop. It will be available for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
When it comes to the NBA 2K25 All-Star Edition, it will cost £89.99, and be available for the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms. This edition includes a plethora of perks and is the second most expensive NBA 2K25 edition.
Last but not least, the NBA 2K25 Hall of Fame Edition is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, for the modest price of £129.99. It's worth noting that, this edition includes all the perks of the All-Star Edition, plus some exclusive rewards, such as a 12-Month NBA League Pass Subscription
NBA 2K25 Expected Game Modes
NBA 2K25 is expected to include six game modes, most of them returning, which are:
NBA 2K25 Expected Game Modes |
|---|
MyTEAM |
MyCAREER |
MyNBA |
The W |
The City |
Showcase mode |
MyTEAM, MyCAREER, and The City, a sub-mode of MyCAREER, are the most popular game modes of the NBA 2K franchise, and it's almost certain they will return in NBA 2K25.
Despite not being as popular, MyNBA, and The W, are also expected to return as both modes are now a staple of the NBA 2K franchise.
The City core is expected to remain the same, a game mode that allows players to compete online and own their skills against opponents worldwide.
However, The City may undergo a massive design change, similar to what happened in NBA 2K24. We also wouldn't be surprised to see some new modes being introduced or existing ones receiving slight changes.
We expect all the modes to introduce new features and slight improvements, with MyTEAM, and MyCAREER, being the priority for 2K, as has been the case for the past few years.
Hopefully, the improvements made will be significant, especially to MyCAREER and MyTEAM, who have received their fair share of criticism from the fans. Players have voiced their discontentment about both modes being pay-to-win, especially in NBA 2K24, and want that to be changed.
The Mamba Moments mode is not expected to return, but there is a good chance a similar mode will take its place. Maybe a mode about LeBron James's illustrious career, as the King broke the 40K points mark in the NBA this season.
It's also possible we have Diesel Moments, where we relive the greatest moments of the most dominant force in NBA history, Shaquille O'Neal. Or perhaps we can step into the shoes of a player who changed the way the game is played forever, and experience the biggest moments in Stephen Curry's career.
We will update this article regularly, so make sure to bookmark it.
