NBA 2K25: A Long-Anticipated Mechanism Has Been Complemented In The Game - Cap Breakers

NBA 2K enjoys great popularity among basketball game series, and the ratings of each player in it will change in the new season. These ratings are subjective and are determined by multiple people, so for players, the ratings of some players may not meet their expectations. Some players may be overrated, while others clearly deserve higher scores. For NBA players, it is normal to have unstable performances. Almost every player has seasons of good or bad performances. However, subjective factors, such as the personal preferences of the raters and the reputation of the rated players, more or less affect the fairness of the ratings. Every year will witness players that are underrated and this performance can not match the given score. This article will mainly introduce the five most overrated players in NBA 2K25 that will be released on September 6. Hope it can provide a reference for your future player selection. Especially for those popular players with potential, hope you can take them to your team by spending NBA 2K25 MT Coins early. 5. Ivica Zubac: 82 Ivica Zubac is undoubtably a powerful NBA player who has shown his true strength to Los Angeles Clippers throughout his career. He has never gotten the title of star players, but he has displayed his stable performance at both ends of the court. In the aspects of offense and defense, he even exhibits overwhelming strength that can match the level of elite. Zubac recently won a three-year contract extension that will promise him $70 million over the next 4 years for his outstanding performance and stable play. But Zubac’s weakness is also obvious, he is not eligible to be elite in any category consistently. He acts pretty well in some aspects, but can not being claimed as elite. He still has a long way to go, and there is still room for improvement for him to strive for. After all, there is still a gap between him and those elite players. But when making a comparison with other centers who own lower ratings, he has a similar or lower influence in some areas, yet is ranked higher. Maybe his real rating is around 80. 4. Damian Lillard: 89 Damian Lillard ended his first season in a Milwaukee Bucks uniform with the result of first-round exit after unfortunately getting injured. Although he was eliminated early, he still achieved pretty satisfying score. From the relevant data, we can clearly see that in the 2023-24 season, his performance has declined significantly, with an average of 8 points less per game than the 2022-23 season, which represents one of the worst season expressions of his career. Although Lillard’s performance has been very stable, but practically, he isn’t quite enough to get an 89 rating in NBA 2K25, because there are better point guards than him but with lower ratings. 3. Victor Wembanyama: 91 Victor Wembanyama served as one of the most impressive rookies with fabulous performance, and was referred to the future of NBA. He almost ended the season with absolute advantage and made significant progress, winning the long-anticipated award of “Rookie of the Year”. But in terms of the actual number of games won, the result is not very satisfactory. After all, he only embraced 22 wins in this season, which was ranked the third-least number of victories in the history of their team. They are a junior team with potential and prospects. He worked very hard and has always wanted to improve his level to a level close to that of a superstar. But as far as the current situation is concerned, considering various factors, his ranking is indeed a bit high, at least not higher than other experienced superstars like Ja Morant, Jimmy Butler and Paul George, who serves as the primary contributor for playoff teams. Considering the long-term career development plan, lowering his rating and ranking will bring much significance to his whole career. 2. Kyrie Irving: 92 Maybe with the blessing of excellent teammates like Luka Dončić, which reduces the pressure of team operations, Kyrie Irving’s shooting percentage hit a new high last season. But in the playoffs, Irving’s performance was obviously not stable. It has brought the question that why Irving embraced such a high rating. There are several players with similar or higher performance but generally lower ratings. This may be attributed to his excellent performance in the previous season. 1. Jayson Tatum: 95 After fighting in Eastern Conference Finals more than five times, Jayson Tatum eventually become NBA champion. As the best player in Celtics, Tatum also became the highest-paid player in NBA considering the fact that he has led the entire team to win fabulous achievement for many times. Although Jayson Tatum’s comprehensive data is high. But Celtics features introducing those talented players with high efficiency. Especially when compared with other players who received 95 overall, there are still some obvious gaps. Maybe it’s because of his NBA championship title, together with the identity of cover athlete for the game alongside A’ja Wilson and Vince Carter, Jayson Tatum is also very popular, but such a high rating is indeed a bit undeserving of his reputation. The above is about the five most overrated players in NBA 2K25. I hope it will help you to choose players in the future. Thanks for reading.

The highly anticipated NBA 2K25 has officially met with players on September 4 and has brought players a lot of new game mechanics and features that can improve the gaming experience. But the goal of players in this new NBA video game has not changed, to dominate the court and become the strongest player in the court. To dominate the court, the first thing you need to know is that you need to have outstanding strengths, such as gameplay meta, Rhythm Shooting, maximizing the new Signature Go-To Shots and builds. Only in this way can you be invincible. This guide will introduce you to how to become stronger in NBA 2K25 from these easy-to-use aspects. Whether you are a novice or an old player, you can find the skills and strategies that suit you in this guide and keep you ahead in the game. 1. Fully Understand The Gameplay Meta In The Game In the new NBA 2K series games launched every year, a new gameplay meta will be launched, and NBA 2K25 is no exception. The meta will mainly revolve around the new Rhythm Shooting mechanic, which will be more beneficial to players who can master the timing and rhythm of their favorite players’ shots. This Rhythm Shooting mechanic will require you to keep in sync with the shooting style of the players you use, so you may need to spend some time and NBA 2K25 MT Points to practice every shooting skill you have, which is very important. In addition, you can directly learn the rhythm of sharp shooters like Steph Curry or Kevin Durant. They're fast-release shooting style makes them very deadly from beyond the three-point line. If you learn their shooting rhythm or skills, it will definitely give you an enormous advantage in the game. 2. Master Rhythm Shooting As Soon As Possible As mentioned earlier, Rhythm Shooting mechanism is the cornerstone of NBA 2K25’s gameplay, allowing you to score from any position on the court, so it is very important for you to master this mechanism as soon as possible and skillfully. You can gradually learn the rhythm shooting mechanism in Learn 2K mode. In this mode, the shooting techniques you need to learn are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. You can choose the one that suits you best according to your own situation and ability, but remember not to rush for quick results. This Learn 2K mode will also help you understand the subtle differences in each player’s shooting techniques, including but not limited to release timing, foot placement, and follow-through. Or you can take advantage of the strengths of various players in this mode and practice your players’ best shooting techniques. By the way, you can use Shooting Frenzy mini-game more in this mode and practice the jump shot technique under less pressure. This will greatly help you develop a sense of shooting rhythm without facing the pressure of many people watching the official game. 3. Maximize Your Signature Go-To Shots Besides Rhythm Shooting mechanic, NBA 2K25 introduces another new mechanic called Signature Go-To Shots, which allows you to perform some unique dribbling and shooting moves in the game. This mechanic is very useful for players who want to break through defenders and create shooting space for themselves, and can even reduce your NBA 2K25 MT costs. In this Signature Go-To Shots mechanic, you can seamlessly transition from dribbling to jump shots by raising the right analog stick, which will make it difficult for the opposing defender to predict your next move and cannot threaten you. In addition, you can also try out Signature Go-To Shots of different players in QuickPlay mode, so that you will find the shooter that best suits your play style. If you currently have players like Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić who can use a variety of moves, you can let them try more, which will definitely show devastating effects on the court. 4. Create An Optimal Build As you explore NBA 2K25’s MyCAREER feature, it’s important to create the right build. What’s even more exciting is that in this new version of the game, you are provided with a variety of builds that can definitely meet your different play styles. But no matter how different the changes are, your focus when choosing a build is still the functionality and effectiveness of the build. You can use the game’s rich MyPLAYER Builder, all-new Takeover system, improved Badge progression, and immersive MyCAREER experience to help you choose the best build. Here’s a suggestion for you: Make a versatile wing player with strong shooting and defensive attributes as the main body of the build, and spend more 2K25 MT on his attribute upgrades. This type of build can make your build both offensive and defensive, and the team is very balanced. These are some of the major tips and strategies for dominating the court in NBA 2K25. Hopefully, these will help you win more games. Have fun playing this new NBA video game!

In the already released NBA 2K25, the previous 77 badges have been reduced to 40 badges. This means that some badges have been deleted or merged, which may make you feel that every remaining badge is a fine product and want to work hard to upgrade them. In fact, some badges are not worth spending too much effort on them. In the current NBA video game, although there are no Badge Points, you still need to invest in a certain stat for a badge to achieve the purpose of unlocking and upgrading. If you focus on a badge that is not worth it, you may miss those badges that can have a better effect on your build. Most of the badges introduced in this guide are because the investment value is not as good as the value it provides to you, so it is not a pity to discard them. But this is only from a personal perspective, for reference only, and can be modified according to your gaming habits. 1. Ankle Assassin In previous basketball video games, Ankle Assassin is indeed a very controversial badge. Although it allows your players to use some tricks to trip the opponent’s defender while dribbling, this move cannot be the decisive factor in your winning the game. Mainly because the effect of this badge is too unstable, you can’t rely on it at all, even if you upgrade it to Legend Ankle Assassin, there is only a 50% chance to trigger it. In addition, the most important thing is that Ankle Assassin requires your players to reach 95 Ball Handling to unlock Hall of Fame badge. But in normal games, only 92 Ball Handling is enough, because you can unlock Gold Unpluckable and Steph Curry’s dribble moves, which will affect the success or failure of the game more than Ankle Assassin badge. 2. Bailout Another badge that requires players to have high attributes is Bailout. Even players need to reach 85 Pass Accuracy to unlock the lowest level Bronze badge, which is also one badge that costs the most 2K25 MT Points in the entire game, not to mention unlocking Hall of Fame badge. When a player has high attributes, it will greatly limit his growth and the potential of your team in other aspects. The most unacceptable thing is that after you unlock Bailout badge, you only get a slightly more lenient kick than before, which has no substantial effect. For a player, 92 Pass Accuracy is the best score, because then you can unlock Hall of Fame Dimer badge. In comparison, Hall of Fame Dimer badge can improve the player’s hit rate much better than Bailout badge. So you can completely abandon Bailout and unlock and upgrade Dimer badge, especially when this player is the core of the entire team. 3. Mini Marksman If you have a shooter on your team who is shorter than 6’4", Mini Marksman is a useful badge because it can make the shooting of those larger defenders less affected, thus solving the problem of your shooter’s short stature. It sounds useful, doesn’t it? But in actual games, you will find that the shooting method that Mini Marksman badge can activate is a method that you will never use. Because a 6-foot point guard trying to shoot over a 7-foot center is absolutely impossible. Even if you really encounter such a situation, you can use the player’s super speed attribute to try to turn the situation around. In fact, the requirements for unlocking Mini Marksman badge are similar to those of meta badges such as Deadeye, Set Shot Specialist, and Limitless Range, which are not so demanding, so you have no problem unlocking it, but try not to upgrade it specifically. 4. Float Game In fact, Float Game is a relatively easy badge to unlock, and the effect is not bad. It can make the player’s floaters more effective. It is a good badge that can be placed in the badge display case. But you need to consider the actual effect in the game. This badge requires the player to have a high Close Shot attribute, so only the three positions of Glass Cleaners, Athletic Finishers, and Post Scorers meet this requirement. In fact, floaters are not often used in these three positions. So this badge is useless. In addition, the positions that need floaters the most to play a game advantage are ball handlers and shot creators, but they are not worth spending a lot of 2K25 MT to invest in Close Shot attributes, but in Driving Dunk and Driving Layup, which creates a very big contradiction. 5. Post Lockdown The last badge that can be discarded is Post Lockdown. It is a badge that can play very strong when needed, but there are too few opportunities. It can improve the ability of the defenders on your team to block backcourt moves such as backcourt rotations and step-backs, but it will be very detrimental to the overall balance of your build in the long run. In normal 5V5 games, there are too few excellent backcourt scorers, so it is not worth upgrading this badge. In the park, defenders need to be versatile, so this badge is also useless. The value of the above badges is for reference only. If your gaming habits and style fit a certain badge, you can unlock and upgrade it as much as you want. The above are some badges that can be given up in NBA 2K25. I hope you can win more games in this brand new video game!
