While I’ve always enjoyed watching basketball, I’ve never been great at playing it. So, when I got the Playstation 5 as a Christmas present last year, one of the first games I got was the NBA 2K24 game. Then, when 2K25 was released this past September, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. I mean, I went to school where A’ja Wilson played college basketball (go Gamecocks!), so I was excited to see her along with other WNBA players in this game.
Even though I bought this game at full price, it’s currently on sale at a whopping 57% off on Amazon — a super rare sale for video games. So, if you enjoy basketball as much as I do, or if there’s someone on your holiday gifting list who does, you need to add this game to your collection ASAP.
NBA 2K25 Playstation 5 Game, $29.99 (57% off)
From Angel Reese to A’ja Wilson to Jayson Tatum to Caitlin Clark, you can play as all of your favorite athletes and teams with this NBA 2K25 PlayStation 5 game. Achieve G.O.A.T status in the WNBA and go head-to-head with rising sports stars and famous players alike. Explore the new vibrant city in this game as you hit the court to score three pointers, experience your favorite player’s signature moves, and earn your place as a basketball legend.
One cool element of this game is that you can learn what it takes to get involved in the NBA without playing basketball. You can use MyGM to take control of an NBA franchise as a general manager by picking your own backstory and immersing yourself into this role, or you can build your own athlete from scratch using the MyPlayer mode.
As someone who previously only watched basketball for fun (and mainly stuck to college basketball), I’ve had so much fun learning the ins and outs of the NBA and WNBA while playing the 2K25 game. It’s perfect for both beginners and basketball pros, and you can play at various difficulty levels. The visuals, background noise and reporting transport you to a real basketball game, and the movement of the players feels very realistic. From Chicago Sky to the Golden State Warriors to the Los Angeles Lakers, there are so many different teams to choose from with this game.
So, if you’re looking to fully immerse yourself into the NBA experience, NBA 2K25 is an incredible way to learn more about basketball and connect with other fans. Get this game as a holiday gift to yourself or for the basketball fans in your life, and don’t miss out on the major discount!
