This is the New Play Now Online in NBA 2K25

2K has finally made changes to its Play Now Online mode in NBA 2K25, after remaining mostly unchanged over several years. The new matchmaking allows for matchups between teams of different skill level, whereas in past years only similarly skilled teams could matchup. Additionally, unlocks reset at the start of a new season. So now there's more incentive to play Play Now Online all year long.

They got rid of player control, the only reason I kept buying the game each year.

Im so irratated with the match up problems. IA keeps changing everything nd putting me a PG to gyard a Center that’s crazy. It’s driving me crazy !!!

I'm really glad to see this. It's the reason why I stopped buying NBA 2K games because you couldn't just jump online and play Bulls versus whomever like you can with mlb and the Madden game. I haven't played 2K in years just because of that

FYI you keep the teams you already unlocked after each season
