Yea breh. I'm convinced that 2K25 is the GOAT sports game and the only game that you can replicate ANYTHING you see in real life.

PnR ball has always been good on 2k. Helps that every team just runs PnR all game now, makes it easier for 2k to feel realistic.

Out the game on broadcast and you will be blown away with how much it looks like a real game. 2k view does it no justice

2K25 is one of the worst 2K's produced over the last decade. Terrible dribble mechanics, terrible player movement, terrible spacing. Just a joke of a game unfortunately.
I felt like this until I played someone who cared to play real basketball and not turbo and dunk. 2 guys running plays and real offense, shyt is beautiful. I do not play my player at all though.

I only run plays, full playbook of mid post screens - backdoor cuts.... High low actions etc...the poor player movement that I mentioned greatly impacts the viability of using a majority of the plays in any playbook as the poor programming for players reduce their ability to recognize where they need to be on the floor for certain plays to work.... For example try running a baseline flare screen to open up a corner 3 look. What you'll routinely see happen is your screener will completely miss setting the screen because of their poor spacial recognition and inability to adjust to where the defender is....it's just a poorly made game bruh... 2K24 was better and 2K22 was better as well

I run that play quite a bit and it works a lot for me unless the defender avoids/slips it. I have my complaints like lebron doing dunk contest shyt in traffic on default, but the movement feels okay to me. All the players feel different. Nurkic is slow footed as shyt and Jaren Jackson can recover and move quick on contests.

This is a load of crap. AI actually playing defense and hitting shots, 20 thru 24 could never
2K2-2K24 you could not go directly at the basket no matter how open the lane was (some years were better than others), you could not create space for jump shots AT ALL, The CPU scored 70% of their points off passes and backdoor cuts, the CPU didn't run fast breaks, the finishing around the basket was awful and the animations you were forced into killed any chance of an open look.

2K has never been close to how good it is this year.
