One week before the release of NBA 2K252K Sports has chosen to finish strong by ending its promotional campaign with the expected “scouting report” concerning “MyCity”, the city in which your player will evolve.
The city has been a major event since NBA 2K21, and this year it has been redesigned from the ground up. The city has been reduced in size to make it more compact and easy to access, and every element has been designed with basketball as a major theme.
For example, the city's main street is the “Boulevard of Stars”, a flagship avenue where almost every square inch pays tribute to past glories and current superstars, through huge graffiti on the walls. The ground is also paved with the name of each NBA champion, the “Walk of Fame”. Your destiny may allow you one day to have your own plaque there.
Various atmospheres and numerous game modes
Since last year, The City has also allowed guests to access its Arena to play their own matches. There is also “MyCourt”, which consists of an apartment and a basketball court in the city center. This is the place where you can practice your skills, alone with a ball machine, or with friends or teammates.
As for the different game modes and challenges, we can count on the imagination of 2K Sports to offer an ever-expanding palette. Among the main attractions, the rivalries through the Elite and Rise affiliations are back, with, as last year, very distinct profiles and characteristics.
The Elite affiliation is installed on the remains of an old fort held by pirates with a pirate ship that now serves as a playground for its owners. The elite division operates in the heart of a factory building giant robots over 20 meters long. An equally hostile environment, but above all the opportunity to take in even more sights.
The modes “The Rec”, “Pro-Am”, and “Ante-up” are still present, as is the famous Playground, where it is always good to show yourself, and as often, the best rewards go to the best players. Each one benefits from a completely new game atmosphere. “The Rec” immerses you in a wild atmosphere surrounded by supporters, while “Ante-up” is now equipped with a new all-marble site.
NBA 2K25 will also bring back as Event Center events the four “MyParks” from NBA 2K15: Sunset Beach, Rivet City, Old Town, and the upgraded Old Town on the Aircraft Carrier.
“The Track” hits the track
Finally, the “Proving Grounds” arena will also become a must-see place in the city. Inspired by the Coliseum in terms of design, it will be “The Place to Be” and will decide the best in 1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3 or 5 vs. 5 mode.
What more can we say, except that “MyCity” will once again be full of new locations and original challenges. The Gatorade training center is this time located on the beach, with the added bonus of outdoor sports sessions, with a breathtaking view.
As for the most unexpected new feature, the prize undoubtedly goes to “The Track”. This is a karting room where you can take the wheel to stretch your legs on circuits designed by the developers of Lego 2K Drive, in a kart or on a motorbike. Each week, 1 million VC will be awarded to the player with the best time, and new circuits will be offered each week!
“MyCity” never ceases to surprise us. “MP” almost forgets its main mission in the “MyCareer” mode of NBA 2K25, to build the greatest dynasty in the history of the league! It would not be a question of being unemployed.
