As NBA 2K25 nears its release, details about the upcoming basketball game have begun to emerge. This time around, Visual Concepts released information regarding the NBA 2K25 MyGM and MyNBA modes, each with some new features that set itself apart from last year’s release.
What are the new changes in NBA 2K25 MyGM and MyNBA modes?
NBA 2K25’s MyGM mode looks to be getting a pretty substantial update to 2K24’s version of the mode. While players will still be able to take on the role of an NBA General Manager, this year’s iteration will go deeper into the RPG aspect of the mode. Players will now choose a backstory for the created GM, which will determine the created GM’s initial attributes. Here are the attributes players will be able to upgrade, as well as a explanation for each one as listed by Visual Concepts:
- Offensive Coaching – Improves the team’s offensive attributes; unlocks conversation options.
- Defensive Coaching – Improves the team’s defensive attributes; unlocks conversation options.
- Sports Medicine – Improves the team’s training and reduces the impact of fatigue and injuries; unlocks conversation options.
- Business – Improves team attendance; unlocks conversation options.
- Charisma – Affects trades, contract negotiations, and team morale; unlocks numerous conversation options.
- Analytics – Improves scouting; unlocks conversation options.
Additionally, different Perks will unlock as players level the created GM. Depending on the chosen backstory, unique Perks will be equipped from the start. Then additional Perks will be unlocked at level 4, 8, 12, and 16. Level 12 is a milestone for GMs, as a specific ultimate Perk will unlock depending on the chosen backstory. Once the level cap of 20 is reached, players will be able to choose two more Perks.
At launch, there will be 55 Perks available in MyGM. More will be revealed throughout the year.
NBA 2K25 also introduces the MyGM Building, a space where players can take control of the created GM to accomplish different responsibilities. So, if a staff member wants to have discuss something, players will be able to walk up to staff member and have that conversation in person.
For NBA 2K25’s MyNBA mode, the biggest update is the inclusion of the Steph Era. Honoring Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, this new era begins during the 2016-2017 NBA season. However, players have the opportunity to rewrite history and play as a different team to put an end to Golden State’s legacy.
The NBA2K25 MyNBA mode will also include new and updated features like the NBA Cup, changes to league expansion and contraction, league news during specific eras, and streamlined MyStaff management.
Visual Concepts also notes that NBA2K25 MyGM and MyNBA content will only be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
NBA 2K25 releases on September 6, 2024, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
