NBA 2K25 is a basketball game with modes for playing as a created athlete, building a roster, managing a franchise, or pursuing a WNBA career. MyCAREER follows a player’s rise, while The W centers on creating a WNBA legend.
On court, play full basketball games with NBA and WNBA teams, or take created players to streetball venues in The City. MyTEAM lets you collect player cards and assemble an all-time lineup for challenges and head-to-head competition.
In MyNBA, take the role of a general manager, guide a team through a season, and build a franchise across six eras. The W also includes an online mode; Play Now, MyNBA, and The W are available offline, while other modes and features require an internet connection.
Among the favorable reviews, a recurring draw is MyNBA’s Eras mode: players enjoy shaping custom franchises and following them across decades, often in offline play. Some also praise the basketball presentation, movement, and animation, while others enjoy developing a MyCAREER player or playing WNBA modes.
