ProPLAY Elevates the Series to New Heights

OK, this is a little bit of a cheat, since ProPLAY isn’t a feature but rather a technology that enables most of the features listed below. Essentially, ProPLAY replaces traditional motion-captured animations by taking authentic movements from actual NBA footage and translating them into immersive real-time gameplay. A whopping 9,000 new ProPLAY animations have been added in NBA 2K25, including 1,500 dribbling animations, 1,100 signature shot animations, and over 1,300 new off-the-ball animations, including 150 new signature motion styles.

Put it on the Floor with the Dribble Engine

This is probably the biggest update to the NBA 2K series we’ve seen in a while. The new Dribble Engine transforms the way players handle the basketball, allowing for an unprecedented level of control. Players can now execute a wider variety of dribble moves with greater precision, including advanced crossovers, behind-the-back moves, and quick changes of direction. The Dribble Engine also integrates with the game’s physics engine, creating realistic ball-handling that reflects the true-to-life movement of basketball stars.
