Certain sports are extremely entertaining to watch. Whether its football, boxing, or even lacrosse, the thrill of the competition excites everyone watching and everyone that is involved. Nowadays some of the best entertainment, especially with males, lies in the video games. Some of the most played games amongst males are sports related, so it’s a no brainer that the new release of NBA2K25 will be one of the most played games this year.
NBA2K is a game released annually to different consoles made from Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. The game has different modes within it such as PlayNow, Blacktop, and MyTeam. The most famous mode that is used in the game is called MyCareer. Just like NCAA25 RoadtoGlory mode, MyCareer is a way for players to create their own character in the game and play online with other players. It’s been improvements to the game year by year. According to nba.2k.com, “When you successfully complete your Key Games, you’ll earn Dynasty Badges that you can use to help your teammates play better in different ways. For example, Taking Over allows your team to start the game with Takeover against rival teams. Altogether, there are 18 Dynasty Badges available, with Bronze, Silver, and Gold rarities for you to unlock.” Another mode that is great to play on the game is MyNBA. In MyNBA, similar to NCAA25 Dynasty Mode, you can control a franchise as if you were the coach or the General Manager. It allows you to sign, trade, and draft players to your team. The mode goes on to another season letting you download a draft class created by other players or it lets you auto generate your own rookies if you do not feel like creating your own rookies from scratch. You can also develop your players to have higher attributes and overalls by training them with some of the older players on your team, which I found to be pretty cool.
Another reason why the game is so popular is because the games are being played and
promoted by the famous streamers and Youtubers of the world. 2k took the world by storm when
influencer PrettyBoyFredo live streamed playing MyCareer on a consistent basis. Because he did what he did to give the video game exposure, it opened an opportunity for other streamers and Youtubers to stream themselves playing the game. According to SportsKeeda.com, “Kai Cenat and Adin Ross are reportedly slated to embark on a $50K challenge match-up playing the currently unreleased NBA 2K25. As popular streamers, it seems both of them have gotten their hands on early access copies of the latest title in the NBA 2K series. The game will be released globally for players worldwide on September 6.”
Adin Ross and Kai Cenat are the 2 most known streamers of today’s generation, so for them to play each other for not only the entertainment of the people, but also for the exposure for Ronnie2k, the face of the franchise, and exposure for the video game. The growth of the game has excelled over time since the release of the first 2k video game came out November 11th, 1999. The growth of the game also came with the growth of the different companies and their respective consoles.
NBA2k25, unlike most of the previous 2k games, allows you to play with WNBA teams and
players. This feature is growing in popularity with the new faces uplifting the sport for the
women such as Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, and reigning MVP, A’ja Wilson. To a lot of
people, NBA2k25 is looked at as a game that is essential to have in your arsenal of games. Give
the game a try and you won’t be disappointed.
