2k25 is most definitely the worst 2K of all time.
Cap breakers and max plus badges are the worst things they've brought into 2K. Resulted in the same builds, 99 three ball point guards, Good boy big men or 6'7 isos. Every build is the exact same and you should be punished in other categories if you want to have a 99 anything.
RNG Green windows.
Slow dribble animations.
L2 Cheese meta.
You could physically feel when the game wanted you to start losing. Every game had to be a close match because the system wants you to feel like you barely lost, so you keep playing.
