Review: NBA 2K24
After the strides made last year, NBA 2K24 is the first regression the series has seen on this generation of consoles.
Not Just the Current Champions
There will be a Hall of Fame Edition of NBA 2K25. While this player never won a championship, he’s arguably the most exciting player of all time in both college and the NBA. 2024 Hall of Fame Inductee, eight-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA Team and NBA Dunk Contest legend Vince Carter will be on the cover of the Hall of Fame Edition. Carter was the most electric player in college basketball in the late 1990s coming out of North Carolina and getting drafted by the Toronto Raptors. Carter put the young franchise on the map and played for many years until recently closing out with the Atlanta Hawks. Vince Carter truly had one more in him.
“Between the honors NBA 2K and the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame have bestowed upon me, this year is an unforgettable one, making me pause with gratitude at my career,” said Vince Carter. “Being named a cover athlete would have always been a special moment for me, but it is a particular honor to be on the cover of the NBA 2K25 Hall of Fame Edition.”
