I want to say again I love the mini games. Especially when I don't want to commitment something. They are quick and won't get me sucked in. I have no problem quitting a mini game (I never quit any games. My wife hates it)

jeebs off topic but I love all your YouTube videos, especially the shorts with Duncan. Its great how you have him giving Horry work constantly lol.

It’s supposed to be young Shaq but looks more like his older, current self. I admit I’m not too big of a fan of this model either. It’s also a shame the great prime Kobe face that was in 2K24 is gone for 2K25.

That's exactly what the bug is. I was getting blown out playing like **** but my whole lineup was considered hot even though we shot like 20%. My Center usually gets on a hot streak after a few boards. I think subs work as they always did.. the coach will not sub out the hot hand, the issue is everyone gets "hot" for no reason.

My guess is the hot/cold code looks at how many positive or negative play a player makes within a certain amount of time(pts, assist, rbnd and so on). This certain amount of time might be too long or not resetting causing everyone to get hot by getting some boards, assists and so on.

This is the greatest addition to realism on next gen. You can still play on HOF with the realistic shooting. Funniest part is that most people will still play on high risk because they are used to making every open shot. 2k came through with this addition

this and the rim physics with the ball bounces...every green is not a swish, you can make shots that aren't green, etc.

Overall really happy with the design choices around shooting this year.

Not a HUGE difference, but it's definitely noticeable and the spacing just feels a little more natural. Hard to describe. It's not something where you'll immediately be like "WHOA this is a gamechanger", but more of an "Ah, this just feels right".

I like to play 10-12 min quarters in MyNBA, man those signature styles are a treat to witness. It feels like literally every player moves and emotes slightly different and it just makes everything feel so alive and organic. I just finished my first two weeks in my Hawks modern era playing every game.

That's the Celtics Practice jersey. I think you can access it in freestyle, scrimmage, practice plays only. I might be wrong. But I like have those jersey on for realism. Wish I had them for classic teams. But that might be asking for too much.

While I agree with you. We still need the options to work. Even I get sucked into a game and totally forget to sub players.

Hahahaha anytime man . I usually pick Horry because it's not so OP trying to learn stuff. After about 72 hours I'll start to play around with other players.

I love what they have done with CPU defender. They go for legit pump fakes. The last 2 cycles have been randomly they will go for a fake. Which wasn't realistic at all. But I've notice the CPU will go for fakes when you're open. Like Horry here going for 2 fakes in one possession. That's very very cool.
