NBA 2K25 Play Now Online Mode Is Getting an Update

21. Srpen 2024 v 10:55

Holy crap, 2K is actually updating Play Now Online (PNO) in NBA 2K25. We’re not even sure if it’s a good update, but they’re actually changing the mode. This confirms 2K does know the mode still exists.

KG, hit ’em with it!

To be clear, I’m not even quite sure how this new system will work, but let me take you through what 2K put together on the PlayStation Blog. We’re going back to a ranking system with what I assume to be matchmaking within those tiers. So you’ll battle through Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and then hit the GOAT tier. Assuming enough people are playing, I would think 2K will always try to match a Bronze player with another Bronze player and so on.

You will be accruing Victory Points with wins that eventually add up to get you to the next tier, but it’s not clear if you will lose points with a loss. In other words, I don’t know if just grinding out wins will get you through these tiers regardless of how many losses you rack up, but my guess is total wins will be all that matters.

As you get to new tiers, you also get more teams to select (you start with just the 30 NBA teams):

  • Bronze to Silver: Unlocks ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s eras teams
  • Silver to Gold: Unlocks 2000s era teams
  • Gold to Platinum: Unlocks 2010s era teams
  • Platinum to GOAT: Unlocks a GOATED Team (new GOATED team each Season)

The biggest change is that you can only use the same team once every five games. Is that a good thing? I’m not sure, but the thinking is probably that you see so few teams in PNO that maybe this gets people out of their comfort zone and “proves” who is actually good with more than just the meta teams. I play and talk about PNO with some other sickos on OS, and we have some who are so steadfast about never leveling up out of the initial tier in order to avoid some of the classic cheese squads.

The same concept from old PNO versions where you are rewarded for using lesser squads does apply here as you’ll get more Victory Points by winning with crappier squads.

  • Tier 1 – Win with one of the top 10 overall-rated teams in the NBA to receive the smallest amount of Victory Points
  • Tier 2 – Win with teams ranked 11-20 overall to receive the medium amount of Victory Points
  • Tier 3 – Win with teams ranked 21-30 overall to receive the largest amount of Victory Points

However, I’m not sure what makes up those 30 teams once you’re out of the initial Bronze tier because I would think you can still use the standard NBA teams in all the tiers. Again, I’m just guessing, but maybe the top 20 teams are figured out depending on your tier and every team after 20 is in that Tier 3 group even as the selectable squads balloon well past 30.

It’s also not clear if teams get “blacked out” after you use them, or you can still use them but you just won’t accrue the Victory Points if you win with them during that five-game cooldown period. Finally, I don’t know what you do with the “all-time teams” you unlock when you get to GOAT tier. Yes, it’s bragging rights, but do I then get to use those teams once every five games?

Whatever the case may be, if these changes get some more people in the PNO pool, I’ll be all for it. Of course, the biggest thing I wish they’d add is a way for us to play with WNBA teams in a PNO environment (give us our own league for it, who cares if it’s just the current WNBA teams!), but it seems like 2K just does not want us to play with WNBA teams online for some reason.

The recent NBA offseason captured headlines with some of the league’s biggest stars shining overseas and others taking their talents to new teams via trade and free agency; as a result, you may be itching to play with your new-look squad in NBA 2K25’s Play Now mode. When you hit the court in the latest iteration of the NBA 2K franchise September 4, 5am PST on PS5 and PS4, experience a bevy of enhancements across all of NBA 2K25’s competitive game modes, including Play Now Online* featuring the return of Leagues, an overhauled leaderboard and ranking system, and more! 

We also have first details on the PS5 Digital Edition – NBA 2K25 Bundle**, coming soon on September 4.

Whether you’re playing solo or with a friend, the classic Play Now mode is the quickest way to jump into the action and start throwing down thunderous dunks in a traditional head-to-head format. Choose from current NBA teams updated with active rosters, or pay homage to basketball’s legends with iconic rosters from the past. While you’ll immediately have the pick of the litter in offline Play Now, the rules of Play Now Online are slightly different.

The biggest change to Play Now Online is the return of Leagues, a five-level ranking system with Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and GOAT to determine your skill level. Every player will begin at the Bronze level and have all 30 current NBA teams to choose from, but in order to gain access to the expanded list, you’ll need to level up.

  • Bronze to Silver: Unlocks ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s eras teams
  • Silver to Gold: Unlocks 2000s era teams
  • Gold to Platinum: Unlocks 2010s era teams
  • Platinum to GOAT: Unlocks a GOATED Team (new GOATED team each Season)

To advance from Bronze to Silver and so on, you’ll need to accrue enough Victory Points by winning to move on. But there’s a catch: in NBA 2K25, you’ll only be able to use the same team once every five games, or until you level up to the next League. As much fun as it would be to dominate every game with the Boston Celtics, there’s an added incentive for using a lesser-ranked squad.

Leagues use overall ratings to group teams into three tiers to quantify how the Victory Points are awarded. Take a look below:

  • Tier 1 – Win with one of the top 10 overall-rated teams in the NBA to receive the smallest amount of Victory Points
  • Tier 2 – Win with teams ranked 11-20 overall to receive the medium amount of Victory Points
  • Tier 3 – Win with teams ranked 21-30 overall to receive the largest amount of Victory Points

The pursuit of victory is the ultimate goal in Play Now Online, but leveling up comes with its own set of bragging rights. Players who accrue enough points in the GOAT League will receive a VC prize, an All-time Team, and Prestige for completing the GOAT League. In addition, players who rank in the Top 100 players will receive an in-game logo, visible to all players, to show off their achievement.

Play Now Online in NBA 2K25 maintains the same authentic feel it always has, but this year it’s been refreshed with significant changes to add another layer of competitive fun for you to enjoy. The simpler, cleaner UI makes understanding the new progression system easy for all skill levels, and adds to the overall intuitive nature of Play Now.

We can’t wait for you to experience Play Now Online and all of the other enhancements in NBA 2K25 coming September 4 to PS5 and PS4.

Od NBA 2K25 se neočekává příliš mnoho radikálních změn oproti svým předchůdcům, ačkoli vývojář Visual Concepts stále provádí několik vylepšení samotné akce na hřišti.

S nově nahraným videem se zprávou na kurtu nabídl herní režisér Mike Wang nové podrobnosti v této oblasti. 

NBA 2K25 pro začátek představí nové animace ProPLAY s více než 9 000 novými animacemi, včetně driblování, typických střel, pohybu mimo míč a dalších. Kromě toho se letošní hra může pochlubit také zcela novým driblovacím enginem, který byl postaven od základů a je nabízen jako největší herní změna, kterou série NBA 2K za poslední roky udělala. 

Ve spolupráci s ProPLAY se nový driblovací engine NBA 2K25 zaměří na dynamické pohyby a pohyby v reálném čase spíše než na předrenderované a naskriptované animace jako v předchozích hrách.

Kromě toho se hráči mohou těšit na několik dalších vylepšení, jako je zrušení výstřelu, charakteristické výstřely, nový obranný systém cutoff, různá vylepšení AI, nový výukový režim nazvaný Learn 2K a další. Další podrobnosti najdete ve videu níže. 

NBA 2K25 vychází 6. září pro PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch a PC

Článek Deep Dive gameplay video ukazuje animace ProPLAY, zcela nový driblovací engine a další se nejdříve objevil na GAME PRESS.
