That's odd, I had a lot more trouble controlling players and getting to precise spots on the court in previous 2K titles. Even in 2K24, where I didn't have any major complaints about the movement, it was very hard to execute fine movements. Just lightly moving the left stick could result in players taking huge steps. Now, I'm able to make small direction changes and take small steps whether I'm on the move or standing still. I can exploit gaps in the defense that I previously couldn't.

I'm playing on PS5, so maybe there's still a difference between PC and consoles even though they're both supposed to be the same game now.

You were playing 2K24 on PC or console? From my limited exposure to it, 2K24 new-gen was just as bad (or in the same ballpark of badness, compared to old-gen at least). I think it's more an old- vs. new-gen thing.

I may have found something that helps somewhat. Not a solution, but it helps. Whenever you see a back door cut or a roll hold the help defense button. ( Assuming you have it enabled in the settings) this seems to make the paint defenders go for steals as opposed to looking at the ball go by their face

Hmmm I have it set to double team. In that game. That was the only way I got back into it. I double him. But I'll definitely give this a try. It would change a lot of fundamental things for me.

Thanks!!

OK. Yeah, movement on old-gen 2K23 (and old-gen 2K24, for that matter) is way more precise / crisp. It’s not that those games are special though. Rather, if we imagine a spectrum of video-game character motion—from extremely precise but unrealistic (Super Mario Bros. on NES) to extremely realistic but imprecise (Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II on XSX)—the motion in NBA 2K (as in most games) has seemed to gradually progress along that spectrum, towards the latter end. Different points in the spectrum are appropriate for different sorts of games though, and IMO 2K overshot the sweet spot years ago.

This past summer, I played 2K16 for the first time ever, and I think it may have the best player movement that I've experienced in a 2K game. Games like old-gen 2K23 and 2K24 are looser, but they feel like 2K16 compared to new-gen (at least in 2K24 and 2K25), which is on a whole different level of imprecision.

Re: NBA 2K25 Impressions Thread (XBOX Series X/S, PS5, PC)

This game is so good, I don’t know what they could be patching. I don’t play random people online, so I say this not knowing about the game exploits.

All the area of improvements in this game, could be fixed with a tuning as opposed to a patch imo.

Pass accuracy, and shooting accuracy should be made more difficult via tuning/default slider.

Defensive awareness on passes into the paint. I am sure they have a tuning for passing lane deflections/awareness.

Ball security lowered.

It’s not a lot of stuff they need to change this year.

The CPU is brutal this year. I ragequit for the first time earlier today. NBA 2K25 Impressions Thread (XBOX Series X/S, PS5, PC) - Page 69 (68) It dropped 80% on me in the 3rd quarter as the Bulls (I was playing as the Jazz) and I just ragequit and started watching YouTube instead. And this was on All Star! But unlike in past 2Ks, it didn't feel like cheese. It felt unstoppable, I couldn't do jack, but it didn't feel like cheese. The CPU was making adjustments and torching me.

I never use defensive settings, but I feel like I'm gonna have to use them this year. The days of being lazy and playing with all the settings on Auto are gone, it seems.
