The cheating issue... NBA 2K25 Edition

[Zeokage]

If you want to discuss any cheating issues in the game, if there are any this year, this is the place to do it.

Just remember that naming and shaming goes against Steam's Code of Conduct, so anyone throwing accusations around will be reprimanded accordingly. This includes screenshots with player names. Please report cheaters to 2K Support.

A reminder that discussion on how the cheating is done is also against the rules. Even if everyone supposedly knows how to do it, don't spread it here for those who actually don't.

lmao cheaters in day 1. its cuz same codebase as 2k24 nothing changed. imagine having a billion dollar company and u cant put one ghost admin that walk around the park 24/7.

Is there an Anti-cheat yet?

Would love to know if 2k has finally put some soft of anti-cheat software this year

Yep multiple cheaters already nice... Fakest anticheat ever

There are always cheaters on PC. The only way to stop it is to use very strong anticheat that is invasive or manual reviews updated daily. They only do that for competitive games with a lot of players.

They don't need intrusive anything.. It's not hard for them to tell when a 65 overall with whatever 3pt shooting is shooting beyond it's natural capability lol. All that data is probably sent between the server and client anyway

I'm talking about in general like certain FPS shooters. But yeah I doubt 2K will even put the minimum. They might do ban waves but you are still playing with glitchers and cheaters for weeks if not more in between them.

I mean if you get the pc version you should understand the cheating problem by now. And just play my career like a smart person

There's loads you just have to open your eyes.. They have 60 OVR when you see them walking around in park but when they play vs you and the game clearly shows they aren't 60 ovr cause they have 90+ in most stats lol

EA actually fights cheaters they've been doing so for many years tbh.. 2K just ignores them and allows them to destroy the online scene.

He bought it by teh way

Just caught my first glimpse at cheaters. 2K has done nothing about this. Community leaders say they did which is an obvious lie. There is no anti-cheat anything! And even after day one patch, optimization is still awful. NBA 2K just isn't worth this frustration year after year anymore.

I played my 1st cheater, Zeokage you might wanna pin this post like all other years
At least this year they can't hide you see right away that they have 99 everywhere (see my screenshots)
