WTMG’s Leo Faria: “I will commend NBA 2K25 for being more accessible than basically any other modern iteration of the franchise I can think of, making this more of an interesting purchase for newcomers to the franchise. Veterans and/or fans will still buy this in droves, no matter what, so for them, this is just business (in more than one sense of the word) as usual. If you straight up ignore the microtransactions, and hold your gag reflex when it comes to the cringeworthy amounts of product placement, NBA 2K25 can still be highly enjoyed. It’s still a super solid basketball simulator at the end of the day. Whether or not you think this game is worth its stupendously expensive pricetage, however, is up to you.”
