NBA 2K25

In case you missed it – because between NBA 2K26 news and playing other things, I certainly did – Patch 9.0 was released for NBA 2K25 last week. You’ve probably already got it at this point, but if you don’t, it should come through automatically as long as you’re online. If it doesn’t, try restarting your console/Steam client, or checking for updates manually.

Unsurprisingly for what will likely be the last “major” update for NBA 2K25, there are no official release notes for Patch 9.0. However, it basically updated the game for Season 9 in MyCAREER and MyTEAM, which will essentially be running until the servers are shut down next year. As people have noted over on Reddit, with NBA 2K26 looming and the preview season underway, the Season 9 rewards are somewhat underwhelming.

Although there were no official patch notes, I’ve added the release dates to the NBA 2K25 update history in our Wiki. If you have any final thoughts about the updates for NBA 2K25 – or the game in general – feel free to share them in the comments below, as well as in the NBA 2K25 section of the Forum! As for NBA 2K26, more news will be coming this week. Dee and I will be discussing last week’s presentation blog in Episode #592 of the NLSC Podcast, so stay tuned for that as well.

Patch 8.0 for NBA 2K25 is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. As always, it should come through automatically as long as you’re online. If it doesn’t, try restarting your console or Steam client, or check for updates manually.

Although the 2025 NBA season has drawn to a close in real life, there’s a new campaign in NBA 2K25. As such, Patch 8.0 updates NBA 2K25 for Season 8 in MyTEAM and MyCAREER, and includes some stability fixes throughout the game. VC payouts have notably also been increased in 5v5 Proving Grounds games, and there are some WNBA branding updates as well.

It’s a small update as you’d expect at this point of the year, but you can find the release notes below, as well as here in our Wiki. With one more in-game season to go before NBA 2K26 is released, we can most likely expect a ninth and final patch in about six weeks. In the meantime, feel free to share any thoughts in the comments, as well as join in the discussion here in the NLSC Forum.

From courtside of the virtual hardwood, it’s Episode #585 of the NLSC Podcast!

As we reach the midway point of 2025, the preview season for NBA 2K26 is suddenly looming on the horizon. With that in mind, what are we hoping to see in the next sim basketball game from 2K Sports? This week, we join the community in discussing our Wishlists for NBA 2K26, beginning with our suggestions for improvements to gameplay, mechanics, and controls, and then moving on to our ideas for modes, features, content, presentation, and other aspects of the game. Although we did feel more positive about NBA 2K25 and remain cautiously optimistic about NBA 2K26, there are definitely some key enhancements and additions that can and should be made in this year’s release!

Patch 7.0 is out now for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of NBA 2K25. The PC patch will be out by May 17th, in time for the tip-off of Season 7. As always, the update should come through automatically as long as you’re online. If it doesn’t, try restarting your console or Steam client, or checking for updates manually.

As I noted when Patch 6.0 dropped, we’re past the point of major title updates for this year’s game. To that point, Patch 7.o is mostly about preparing NBA 2K25 for Season 7 in MyCAREER and MyTEAM. However, it does include a handful of jersey updates – mostly removing sponsor updates and adding other minor details – and likeness updates for various WNBA players. There are also a couple of minor gameplay adjustments, and the usual bug and stability fixes.

You can find the full release notes for Patch 7.0 below, as well as in the NBA 2K25 update history in our Wiki! Feel free to share any impressions in the comments below, as well as join in the discussion here in the Forum.

From courtside of the virtual hardwood, it’s Episode #579 of the NLSC Podcast!

What are the best lineups that we can assemble picking from players in the modern NBA? This week, we fire up NBA 2K25 and run separate fantasy drafts in MyNBA Eras to craft teams that we believe would be both successful and a lot of fun to play with on the virtual hardwood. The exercise leads us to share a few more thoughts on NBA 2K25, and the community’s attitude towards it. We also recap a couple of fun co-op sessions with NBA Live 2000 and NBA 2K13, using the All-Decade teams and a 1985 season roster respectively. Both games continue to impress us all these years later, demonstrating that the best releases are timeless and undoubtedly worth revisiting.

This far into the game’s lifecycle, the title updates aren’t making too many major changes or additions. To that point, Patch 6.0 is mainly preparing NBA 2K25 for Season 6 in MyTEAM and MyCAREER, though it does include likeness updates for Patty Mills and Shakira Austin. There are also some minor stability and bug fixes, and a couple of Quality of Life improvements with the MyPLAYER Builder and Exchange menu in MyTEAM.
